What's Wrong with Bearded Boy Scouts?
Thanks to Ogilvy & Mather, the Boy Scouts of America's new print campaign features bearded boys and urges them to "Be One with the Wild". What could possibly go wrong?
Perhaps Ogilvy & Mather need a better editorial calendar as well. Considering that it's Movember, wouldn't a couple of mustachioed boys be a better fit?

A Barbershop Rye in San Francisco
If you're in the Bay area, you might be able to get a shave and a haircut, plus a bottle of handcrafted whiskey, all from the same man.
"1512 Spirits is a contradiction of sorts. Having burst onto the scene in May, you could say that they're the new kid on the block, yet, the Cimino family has been distilling for decades and decades. 1512 Spirits' master distiller, Salvatore Cimino, is a character straight out of a craft distilling graphic novel (seriously, can we get this?). By day, he cuts hair at 1512 Barber Shop in San Francisco's Nob Hill; in the dark of the night, he puts on his distilling cape and plies his trade at their Rohnert Park distillery in Sonoma County. Now, let me just say that I've visited a couple of one-man-show, start-up distillers, and it's painful and sometimes tragic to watch them struggle to swim upstream in an industry that is cold and brutal. The fact that Sal can keep a 9-to-5 job and run a distillery on the side qualifies for bona fide superhero status in my book.Sal's barber shop bat lair on 1512 Pine St. has a liquor cabinet with whiskeys and Scotches, and probably a teleportation device which beams him to the distillery after the barber shop closes. The last appointment of the day sometimes comes with an invitation to try some of his products."

Turkish Politics, by the Moustache
Does your moustache broadcast your political affiliation? Evidently it does in Turkey:
"Leaning back into a maroon barber's chair, its dark leather cracked with age, Onur Karadogan flips through a dusty catalogue of moustache styles.
"An Islamist will ask for this one," he said, pointing to a neatly trimmed, almond-shaped example, bringing two fingers together to illustrate the two millimeters of space that the Koran deems must exist between the end of the upper lip and the beginning of the whiskers.
"These ones," he said, upon reaching a brittle page covered in images of dark-haired men with thick, walrus-style moustache of the Marx variety, "are more for the leftists."
In his 16 years of experience as a barber, Karadogan has become an expert at shaping these bushy declarations. Men don't wear their politics on their sleeve here, they write them across their upper lip."
I wonder what facial hair political classifications we could make here in the U.S.?
