Beard Beard Action Beard
The Spouse recently procured a new electric beard trimmer, which I will probably steal at some point to use on my head and/or pubes, because I am awesome the worst wife ever super awesome.
Pubes aside, the packaging on this device informs me that something called—and I swear I am not making this up—“designer stubble” is now All The Rage. I have some sense of what this...

jessnevins asked: At what point do I need to stop dressing in my stylish Liberty of London floral ties--I love them so, I have like 90 of them--and start, oh dear, "dressing my age"? If I'm still wearing my preciouses when I'm 60, are people going to think I'm trying to dress 30 years too young?

WE NOW PAUSE FOR A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT
Let’s talk about CAT FASHION.
Specifically: If you have an outdoor cat—or even if you have an indoor cat and live somewhere with DOORS or WINDOWS—PUT A GODDAMN COLLAR ON YOUR CAT, AND PUT A TAG ON THAT COLLAR.

Anonymous asked: Hey Scrapscallion! I am a nerdy gentleman. I have noticed that lots of nerd-males (like myself) wear fedoras and/or have goatees. In gaming stores, there also seem to be lots of dudes who wear trench coats or leather jackets. Do you think there is any kind of nerd fashion, or any signifiers that nerds consciously or unconsciously adopt to say "Hey, I like D&D" by means of clothing? I...

Fuck Yeah Girls with Short Hair →
Given that finding a range of reference photos of short haircuts on women is a pain in the ass, I thought some of you might dig the above as a resource for such. It skews white and femmey, but it’s a pretty good jumping-off point if you’re looking for short haircuts for the lady-types.

Mea Culpa, et Cetera
I know I haven’t answered any questions in something approaching forever, or at least a month. As Catherine the Great apocryphally proclaimed, I’ll get back on that horse this week if it kills me. *rimshot*
