Just the thing for going to stonings.

Beards + knitting = maximum folk-hipster cred.

#2, I was thinking the exact same thing. I predict that knitted beards will be THE thing for the discerning hipster in 2009.

I shall shave my beard so that I can buy and wear one of these.

The beard in the top right image bears a striking resemblance to my Rock Band character, Nutsax McCain. Here’s a photo.

maybe ‘shave and a haircut’ might be more the thing?

Everybody wants prosthetic foreheads on their real heads.

Strange, but I find the artist somehow sexier when bearded.

What’s happening?
Are beards that hot?

ps: can we have a jerry garcia or ff coppola ?

Those beards are weak.

Just another example of a woman wishing she was a man.

Women should be happy they are who they are without trying to include themselves uninvited and unwarrantedly in the realm of men.

Nice try, but I think it’s obvious that the bottom left one is just a photo of the Iron & Wine dude.

@11 – beards are ALWAYS hot, literally and figuratively.

  Oh, that kind of beard. I was expecting someone of the opposite sex to take to the prom.

…The bottom left one looks like it was made using a Play-Doh Barbershop set!

As a member of the real beard community, I fiercely oppose this! Do you know how much hard work I put into my beard?!? If you want a beard, you have to grow it yourself! Tough cookies, girls…

I meant cymbal. Calm down.

if false beards become de rigeur, CCTV will have a harder time of it.

I saw a short, fat man at a bus stop today. Hardly registered. Then I got closer and saw a woman bundled against the wind with a fur collar on her jacket…like a beard.

Urban camo.

It’s incredibly childish. Just the antidote for a discussion on naming children after mass murderers.

I bought a few last month for our Christmas picture
