I *say* that I'm ready for some silver/white, and I even mean it (or believe that I mean it)...but I suspect that when they finally show up, I'll be all "NOT READY!" (And I seriously don't know why I have zero silver hairs yet, when my younger brother is already pretty damn silver.)

small-batch, hand-made, artesianal beard grooming products.)

Tim's (hipster) former hairstylist stopped cutting hair to focus all his efforts on his new business of small-batch, hand-made, artisanal beard grooming products. No, really. (My neighborhood wants to be Portland [or Austin] SO HARD.)

Hipster beards work on almost no one.

Truer words, man.

One of the only people I have ever met who looked good in that sort of beard also made white guy dreads look good. So I think he was a unicorn.

He was also, apparently, one of the few trust fund kids on campus who was actually there for the academics, not the weed, and planned on going on to teach math after a few degrees. I am told when he was drunk, his upper class New England accent came on full-force, but I never heard it.

I am totally ready for my roots to turn all silver, because I really, REALLY want all-pink hair (with dyed black bangs and streaks in the front). I want it NOW. I just don't want to bleach my entire head AND strip out the decades of black dye that is there.

That is adorable. And awesome, but my first reaction was "Aaaaww, so indie!"

Whenever I see fashion beards and mustaches, I think of swimming and hope to hell they shampoo well. Like it or not, I snot when I swim, and I've seen the faces, so does everyone. I see facial hair as booger bush. Uhg

The Caps lost in OT in Game 7. To the fucking Rangers. I'm heartbroken.

Sorry, Maria. That sucks. I will root against the Rangers in Round 3 because they made you sad.

That sucks.

What sucks even more is that the Caps were less than 2 minutes from winning the series in Game 5. Sucked the air right out of them.

That is love and true friendship. Thank you.

If you keep facial hair very short it's as easy to wash as bare skin, and almost as easy to dry. I do not understand how people can stand those long scraggly beards though, they'd be impossible to keep clean.

At my new job one of the men has a beard that he gathers into a kind of forward facing ponytail. It's a few inches long--just long enough that it doesn't fall out of the rubber band. It's . . . a look.

I have a few white hairs coming in. They were really starting to pop during unemployment (stress), but now there seems to be fewer of them.

Another coworker dyed chunks of her hair purple and bright orange. So my idea of getting violet lowlights after my nephew's wedding looks like it'll fit in with the office culture just fine. Ah, academia.

I work at a nursing school, and none of the students (or I am presuming, professors) can have hair that is a "non-natural" color.

That sucks. I will root against the Rangers in Round 3 because they made you sad.

In our household it's an easy calculus. We hate the Rangers and we hated the Canadiens, so go Tampa Bay!!

Also, sorry, but also GO DUCKS!
