Sad Banana # 9 Mustache

I Have a Mustache

ME

Mustaches are all the craze. They are making a comeback. It's trendy. I like being trendy. I follow all the trends. So that's why I decided to shave my beard into a mustache. I'm not original at all. I'm a copycat. Whatever is hot and chic at the moment I will do it. I had a faux hawk, a mohawk, a beard, a pony tail, shaved head, and the slick back look. I've done it all, well not really, but close to it. I want to test my limits of feeling comfortable while looking uncomfortable. It's somewhat a test to my self conscious self. People say ,“Looks arn't everything” but actually when you think about it 'looks are everything'. We constantly judge each other by appearance. I wanted to see how life would be with a mustache and how people perceived me. Whenever someone grows a mustache people always state the obvious, “you look creepy like a molester or pedophile”. It took me an hour to shave my beard into a beautiful mustache and your going to call me a creep! It's the longest amount of time I've ever spent on grooming myself and then I get ridiculed? Come on with that! Think of something creative, that's too easy to say. Here are some of the results of what people said to me during my 2014 Mustache Experiment. 

What People Said about My Mustache 

“Holy Sh*t it's Mario!!!”

“You don't look like Mario... You look like Luigi more”

“That looks nasty”

“You Mexican?” No. “Well stop looking mexican then”.

“Bro.... you look like a conquistador”

“You look like an Italian dude. All you need is FIAT to drive”

“Hey cool... you look like a mexican dude”

“Hey you look like a guy who makes pizza”

“That's fake”

“Can I see if it's real?”

“Ok.. Hitler”

“Can you shave that? I hate it”

"You look like the Monopoly Guy"

"You look like a porn star"

“You look like a guy from the 70s”

“Hey it's like your Rollie Fingers”

“That's a sweet mustache”

“You look like a creep”

“Nice mustache. There in now”

“What are you doing? I'm going to get clippers and shave that right off”

“I don't know about your face”

“Ewwww”
“I miss your beard”

Conclusion

As you can see the mustache results varied. A lot of people stared at me, laughed at me, and gave mew weird looks. Women did not compliment it. I just got a blank stare as if I had something on my face. Guys however thought it was cool . In the end I don't think anyone really liked it. So, what can we learn here? Well, never judge a book by its cover. I'm not Hitler, I don't bake pizzas, I'm not mexican, not a plumber, not the Monopoly guy, not a porn star, not from the 70s, not a creep, and I'm not a conquistador. We can all learn from this experiment that there is a heart behind every mustache and my heart hurt.
