Celebrity Facial Hair Friday - Emiliano Zapata
Today is Cinco de Mayo, a holiday most Americans lovingly embrace with shots of tequila and an overindulgence in beer. Hmm... sounds like a typical weekend at a frat house. So in honor of Cinco de Mayo, and general American ignorance, we're picking Emiliano Zapata as our Facial Hair Friday Celeb. Even though Ignacio Zaragoza led the Mexican army in its defeat against the French on May 5th, 1862, he has no facial hair. Zapata (which is a female shoe if high-school Spanish serves), and his brother Eufemio pictured right, have wonderful, big, bushy, stereotypical moustaches. Those things are old-school. Don't see many of them these days.
And, to bring things to an even lower level, here's a little article from Ohio State University's U Weekly which introduces the concept of Cinco de Moustache. Hmm... any chance this idea was formed after shots of tequila and an overindulgence in beer?
Once again special thanks to Wikipedia for the history lesson, and apologies to my high-school spanish teachers.
