wait, facial hair indicates bad economy?



According to the WSJ, newly unemployed corporate types are busting out (inspired, of course, by the hipsters). Via the Cut.

p.s. Grunge is back.

    Because they can! That's the one good thing they've got going on. And you can be hip and corporate, it's just that when you are employed, your crammed into your little box. ;)

    when i started wearing ben's slightly oversized [for me] and tattered flannel-style button ups over a tee i was aghast with the realization that i was reliving my grunge youth.... when did this happen?

    Wait--does this mean that mustaches are back IN?! Or just beards?! Arg.

    Amanda: real mustaches were never out. never. just mustache kitsch. (although they do look better on some men than others... and when brad is growing one for a movie he shouldn't go around calling it a political statement. whatevs.)

    if more facial hair is coming my way, i will be in heaven. FH had a beard for 5 months and I loved it. You think it would hurt, but it's soft...

    throat beards freak me out.

    Yeah, I agree, only neck beards are bad, because if it doesn't stop at the neck, does that mean it just keeps going and going and going...?

    I love when my boy goes all hairy. it's never intentional though, he's just too busy putting up shelves to ever get round to shaving.
