... It's got to stop.
Whatever happened to the clean cut look?
... Guys who got a weekly haircut whilst Eisenhower was on the throne of America?
Even the OPH forbids all these hairy adornments...
- No more hairy Trads - Because it just ain't Trad!
You can't expect them to shave when for 23 hours of the day they are locked in the basement or that room in Ma's and Pa's garage that has been changed into their own private iGent paradise of splendid autistic isolation and stylised 1920's Caponism. Just don't call them scar face.
Trip's a cool MF, no matter how you cut it.
Clean cut be damned.
If you're well-groomed, it matters not if you have a beard or are clean-shaven.
What does matter is the "scruffy" look that seems to keep the wearer poised, shakily, between a decent shave and making, finally, enough testosterone to grow a few. Either/or if you please, but the scruffy tweener in button-down collars just looks silly.
Besides, rumor has it that Ms. Birnbach was jilted by a Van Dyke so her personal animus probably colored her strict rule.
No facial hair.
No beard.
No moustache.
And of course, keep an eye on what is going on in the ears.
Poor Marmer. . . reminds me of. . .
"Sweetest little fellow ev'rybody knows
Don't know what to call him but he's mighty like a rose"
