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...

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.
