Porn star moustache: New trend alert?
Filed under: CELEBRITY STYLE, Fashion, Celebrity, Stylish Living
Starting last spring, I noticed the hipster guys around town were shaping their facial fuzz like...well...porn stars. It was a rough time for the fashion-forward set -- we'd been stuck in a seemingly endless 80s revival, and the obsessively stylish were trying anything to break out of the mold. I figured it was a brief, ill-advised foray into alternative grooming that'd quickly be forgotten.Until today. Word on the street is Pete Wentz, bassist for Fall Out Boy and boyfriend to Ashlee Simpson is sporting an adult movie star motif above his upper lip. Gross!
Guys: I'm pleading with you, let this one blow over. Grow a full beard, grow a goatee, go clean shaven -- anything! If you shape your 'stache like some douche bag from the 70s, I will judge you -- a lot.

I have had a "Porn Star 'Stache" since I was old enough to grow one; about 30 years now. I guess that IS why all the women want me...HA...Like Neon Don said "If you weren't so into porn "Mr." Morgan" you'd know " better. Just because YOU don't like them you don't have to put your unwelcome opinion out there.

Who sits around and tries to attach meaning to another's facial hair? This piece was crafted by an idiot and anyone coming on here to agree with him on any level is just as big an idiot.

Poorly written, poorly researched by porn addict Jonathon Morgan. Picture shown is dating to the 70s with long shiet sleeves and horrible colors. Many people I have seen wear a mustache - I don't but I do not judge from exterior. But I do judge articles reflecting a single persons opinion that he wants to put onto others. - gross
We are leaving AOL for Comcast, as the AOL speed is terrible, and most AOL articles reflect amateurs being in charge.
Good night

CHW... said it best. AOL does suck as far as news stories go. I have also noticed that the same "stories" appear over and over again. Why do they do that? Another thing that bothers me, is how they misrepresent the story with a headline that says the opposite of what the story ends up saying. Just to get people to read it. It seems like amateures at work to me also. I guess AOL is the internet's equivelant to "The National Enquirer" smut rag.

why the fuck is everyone ripping on this guy. so he wrote a funny article about moustaches and called it a porn stache, it doesnt mean hes generalizing all people with moustaches into a category, he just wrote a fuckin article, its a goddam article, get over yourselves

Gee, Anthony, maybe you could use a few more swear words. You didn't make yourself sound stupid enough.

Why is Kevin Youkilis included? He had a pretty well shaped goatee, not the typical handle bar moustache associated with 1970's porn stars.

I hope this trend dies out again. I never liked it the first time I saw it decades ago and I still do not like it now. I don't mean to be offensive but of course it is going to sound that way. Honestly, I don't like judging people, either. But, I really can not take anyone seriously with the porn stache. I will end up cracking up laughing. It does not look good to me, it does look like a joke.

It was bad years ago when it was in vogue and it sure doesn't look any better now. I prefer a clean shaven face, anyway... Once apon a time when I dated years ago I didn't like kissing a guy with facial hair, sure glad hubby chooses not to have any. It's his choice, but I sure do approve of it.

So what if men want to wear what looks like pubic hair on their face. Makes it confusing to understand among reportedly/supposedly straight men--with their face looking like their mate's 'privates'. That's what it looks like to me, so it really makes me wonder about gay men, putting 'something' in a face that looks like female genitalia.

Oh--and the pubic hair especially goes for Woody Harrelson!!
and, by the way--you can take away the side burns as well. Yuck !
