who doesn't like a good mustache ride?

So there's a sweet new trend that is sweeping fashion and that is removable mustaches. I for one am obcessed. according to one very fancy fashion magazine tells its readers that these products are for people who want the option of having a 'stache if the mood strikes. For those who do not want to grow the hair or buy a necklace (i love the Dali one above- $12 here), there is the always sane and logical option to get a mustache tattooed on the side of your finger. Just imagine it...all you need to do is place your figer above your upper lip and presto! 'stache! 

Well Meg and I decided to test it out last night at the M.E.A.N.Y. Fest at the Mean Fiddler. On the subway ride over we tattoo'd our 'staches on our index fingers, then made some pretty tasteless jokes and began our wild mustache ride. Every person who approached, every conversation was peppered with the perfect use of mustache when the mood struck us. Meg had the perfect situational use of the finger stache when she was asked for a smoke by a dude who we later found out was in one of the bands! Here's how it pretty much went down:

(mostly paraphrased)
Dude: Hey, can I borrow a cigarette?
Mega: That's a weird way to ask...you can have a cigarette...
Dude: would you want it back? What kind of person would ask for a cigarette back?
Mega: (raises mustache finger to her lip, makes a quizzical mustache face...) well you haven't  met anyone like me.

It was pure genius. Amazing. 

I plan on legit tattooing atleast 3 finger 'staches for reflect my moods and favorite styles: thin french mustache a la Dali, think trucker style mustache, and charlie chaplin.
