Andrei Tarkovsky is hot

... and brilliant

... and he has a mo

... and what more could I ask for in a man?

He directed Stalker, pretty much the best film you'll ever see.

Some beautiful polaroids.

"So much, after all, remains in our thoughts and hearts as

unrealized suggestion"

- Andrei Tarkovsky

Bearded Philosophers: Nietzsche

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche has to be sporting one of the most impressive moustaches in the history of facial hair. I mean really, who can argue with a lip bushel like that? It seems to me that there might be a direct relationship between the male philosopher's genius and the strength of his facial hair. To be followed up in further posts...

If you're interested in Nietzsche, rather than just gratuitously ogling his moustache, check out these blogs:

I'm Ba-ack!

I haven't blogged here for such a long time! Truth is, I got scared off when I discovered my phobia of approaching strangers on the street. I've been posting on my other blog Strike A Bell, so I thought I'd give this another try. It won't be as I initially envisioned it... rather more humble, and random, but still centering around the theme of facial hair and my undying love for it.

Jumping back on the horse, I googled "beard love". And what did I find?

This gorgeous print!

From powerandlight's Etsy shop, as featured on Decor Amor blog. Unfortunately, it seems they're sold out, but there are loads of other cuties available.

Angus Stone

I'm going to have to rename this blog 'Musicians with Beards'. Here we have Angus Stone, of Angus & Julia Stone fame, showing off his full beard and moustache combo in the clip to Just A Boy. Check it out.

Dog Faced Boy

This is a picture I drew in my notebook, inspired by an article I read about E and his beard.

Hombre Lobo

Here's another example of music and facial hair walking hand-in-hand. E, or Mark Oliver Everett, from The Eels sports a very impressive beard. You can see it here in the clip for Fresh Blood. The title of the latest album is Hombre Lobo, or Wolf Man in Spanish. The title was inspired by E's beard, which he grew while writing the song Dog Faced Boy, released on the Souljacker album in 2001.

Peter Sarstedt

Peter Sarstedt rocks the mo. And he wrote one of my favourite songs, Where Do You Go To My Lovely?
Here he is playing on Top of the Pops.
