The Moustache Machine

As a testament to my fascination with mustaches, here is a photo of a mixed-media piece I made in 2003, "The Moustache Machine." It won "Best Use of Space" at DCAC's 1460Wallmountables show in July, 2003!
Here's how it works: You stand several feet back from the Moustache Machine. With one eye closed, look into the mirror at your reflection near one of the mustaches. Voilà! You get to try on a variety of 'staches.
And with the "Make Your Own Moustache Bar," (scissors, double-stick tape and black construction paper), you can "[f]eel like a man" and "[t]ry one on today!"
(Yes ma'ams and sirs, this puppy is copyrighted.)
UPDATE:
I just saw the April/May 2006 issue of Readymade, and there is a project entitled "Mustache Mirror." OMG. I am flipping out.
this just in...
Don't hide your 'Stache
Also, I heart Eugene Hutz . Dayum!
¡Mi primer bigote! Apparently, some Italian singer who's popular in Mexico said that all Mexican women have mustaches. So on a daytime talk show, all the ladies wore mustaches as an "f you." The result is simply awesome.

My first mustache : A blog with photos of pubescent boys, menopausal ladies, and the latest in mustache-related news!
This all kind of started as a joke, several years ago. My friend Chrissie referred to some dude at the mall as having a "my first mustache." I almost peed myself.
I've always been interested in disguises and costumes. Maybe it's because I was born on Halloween, or because I like playing jokes on people. Then there's the whole gender studies aspect of "what would it be like to be a dude?" and watching "Victor Victoria" and reading "Twelfth Night (I think that's the Shakespeare play where the girl twin dresses up like a guy…I'll have to fact-check that one)." I mean, COME ON. If you're a lady, would you really look like a man if you had a mustache, or would it just be funny?
So let's see!
