NOVEMBER 23 - CELEBRITY BEARDS
Hello there!
I thought it was high time for another blog entry.
The most popular entry by far, on one of my other blogs, is a post where I've taken some silly pictures of myself in various outfits, trying to get some feeling for characters that I was drawing.
(Photos are on http://grotesquefurniture.blogspot.com
drawings are on http://nazigold.blogspot.com )
So I decided to take some with me & my pink beard.
During my bearded days, many people have said "You look just like..."
Blackbeard, Osama Bin Laden, Cat Stevens, Captain Caveman, a rabbi, Che Guevara, Fidel Castro, Ricky Villa, a hermit, Brian Blessed, Rasputin, Jesus, etc etc etc. I have a list somewhere of my lookalikes.

Anyway, so yesterday, out came the camera and my box of assorted hats & accessories. I had enough props to make myself look like Che Guevara, and like Osama too, but I don't think I'll post the Osama pictures, just in the tiniest most miniscule chance that some loonie sees the picture, takes offence, and then hunts me down and jihads my ass. (Very slim chance, I think, but still, the Osama fans are not people to get on the wrong side of...)
So here it is: Pink Che!
In other news, I've been looking at other beardy blogs today, one of which was: http://www.placeboma.com/bigandbeardy/Which held this fascinating revelation: 
I'm not sure if this is true of women suffering Depression, but I'm sure research is underway.
The site also had links to http://www2.b3ta.com/namethatbeard/ which is rather fun!

But of course, the most important thing is to keep donations coming in for Primhe!

i think you actually look more like me with your beard because it hides the ugly parts with all that pink. plus you only put the good ones up.
you ought to get someone to take pictures of you walking about town. what is it that the british soldiers always seem to be trying to do in urban warzones? you need to be winning hearts and minds.

Hey man, I'm a hearts and minds kinda guy!
The 'minds' bit is the key area...
And what do you mean, ugly parts?
The whole of your face is an ugly part, you gangly guttersnipe!
I spend a lot of time walking the streets talking to the great unwashed, and lots of people take my photo with their phones!
