FROM BOY TO BEARD

YOU'VE PROBABLY LONG SINCE NOTICED THAT THE ONCE CLEAN SHAVEN PRETTY BOY TYPES HAVE TAKEN THE F*CK SHAVING GRIZZLY ROUTE. MANY MEN HAVE ADOPTED THE POPULAR PHYSICAL TRAIT OF WEARING A 'PHILLY BEARD' OR 'SUNNI', (ORIGINATING IN PHILADELPHIA - FIRST FOR RELIGION AND THEN FOR FASHION). I'M A FAN OF THE FACIAL FUZZ, GROW IT OUT BY ALL MEANS GUYS BUT PLEASE KEEP IT CLEAN. EXAMPLES OF HOW NOT TO LOOK INCLUDE, MR TWIT AND RICK ROSS WHEN HE ROLLS IN HIS HERB PATCH.
