Wine Diva-isms
                                        
Men in
    
    Moustaches


Let's be clear, I don't have a moustache fetish.
In fact I've given them very little thought except when I've seen them on a face where they just don't belong.
The recent-ish retro trend of the moustache seems to have died a quick death. I assume because those who decided to follow it were ridiculed at work.
But this week while out for a run on the seawall a middle aged man wearing a conductors hat smiled at me as he was walking his dog. He had a massive, bushy graying 'stache.  But more importantly, a big smile, dimples and a sparkle in his eye.

Suddenly it hit me.

Its not so much the facial hair as the face itself.
I've decided that moustaches work best on men who have that twinkle, that whiplash grin and kind eyes.
Dimples don't hurt either.

Think about it- Tom Sellek,  Sam Elliot and  Burt Reynolds all work it.

And my good friend Joel Siegel who owns Vancouver's famed Siegel's Bagels is one of the most handsome men I know. He's tall and fit with a thick white moustache and a head of hair to match. He's also 70 and doesn't look a day over 50! But Joel has the most sparkling blue eyes and always wears a huge smile underneath that bushy 'stache.
Without the twinkle and the smile moustaches often look mean or downright evil depending on the wearer.
And of course who has the most famous moustache of all attached to a round face with rosy cheeks and a sparkling set of peepers...

Santa!

See more moustaches...
more moustaches
and even more moustaches
