Editor’s note: People DO have mustaches. People go to work with them, people go to the grocery store with them and people do date with them. Many people in our culture and age bracket often joke about them, think that they are more funny than an actual style. Mustaches have been a way of life since the invention of the blade. When is it age appropriate to actually start wearing a mustache? I feel like they are around in Jr. High and then disappear until we are well into our 30s. Many servicemen (e.g. police officers, firemen, military) can get away with the look much easier than the common man.  It is a way to gain more respect or to appear more mature. Will the mustache be a lost art to generations x and y? I sure hope not.

Scott Forrest Lambert of Columbus, OH, achieved his life-long dream of finally donning a full-adult mustache this July.  The recently laid-off Abercrombie employee spent the first half of the summer training his dogs, Maggie and Izzie, and growing his golden-brown Natural styled mustache with matching flavor-saver. “I love mustaches!” said Lambert, but with hesitation because he will most likely shave it for his first day on the job at Wendy’s International today. Lambert has always struggled with growing a thick enough mustache to be proud of until now. He says that he has never really had the time to really concentrate on it until now.

According to Wikipidia, a natural mustache may be styled without aids. The hairs are allowed to start growing from up to a maximum of 1.5 cm beyond the end of the upper lip.

Lambert, who recently was married to Nikki Kosla of Brighton, MI, even had a wedding party of men that sported many different styles of mustaches for the special day.

It may take time away from work and society to grow a mustache, but when is it appropriate to actually keep it? I guess we will have to wait and see. Please keep your mustache Scott Lambert, a dying breed of men depends on it.
