Celebrity that should be a Pittsburgher:
Many of these mustachioed individuals are not native Pittsburghers, but the city made a lasting impact on their lives. My favorite is the Rick Kehoe with George Parros coming in a close second with his 80's hockey player style. What is your favorite?
This story has been recently referenced by the Huffington Post....Congrats! see story http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/09/28/americas-most-mustache-fr_n_985048.html#s376749&title=3_Pittsburgh
Haha I can't stop laughing looking at this article. Instant Classic Post. Fantastic job R Korn.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite / worst may be the whole Bob Walk deal. What is going on with that look? He has the molester mustache that is really thin and long, and not grown in well. Paired with that awful mullet he looks like a full blown child molester.
HJ Heinz's sideburn to mustache combo is truly a vintage find. I dont think I have ever seen one in person. This must have taken a lot of grooming to maintain. Combined with an inability to realize that he looks like a walrus with this stache makes me feel that he had to work very hard to look that ridiculous. It also makes me wonder: Why did he not grow the full beard instead if he is going that far? I guess it just didn't look right to him.
The famous wann-stache, crosby's dtm, the whole column is absolutely amazing. This may be the finest example of investigative journalism I have seen in a while.
Even the buccos logo had the stache!!

ReplyDeleteWanny and Walk look like they had/have trouble using a razor to groom their staches, it's like they just hack away at their faces.
Maybe Heinz had some sort of deficiency that didn't allow him to grow hair on his chin.

ReplyDeleteI love the Mellon stache. I think he and Heinz just how bored people got before TV that they groomed their staches for entertainment. The Candy Man is a good thin one, he looks as if he should be throwing up a pizza or smoking a cigarette with one of those long holders.
Jeff King is my favorite, he looks like Wyatt Erp.
ReplyDeleteEarp. Oops.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Coso, I'm partial to the mustaches of my youth: RJ Reynolds, Doug Drabek and Jeff King.
ReplyDeleteI like the Stacey Smith mustache...very classy. I think he models his stache after Tom Selleck. Worst Pittsburgh stache has to go to Crosby.
ReplyDeleteWorst stache is a three way tie between The Candy Man, Crosby, & Bob Walk. Walk just looks creepy.
ReplyDeleteJust read the Huffington Post article. Pretty awesome that Blast Furnace got mentioned!
ReplyDeleteDa Coach!
