Thinking of growing a moustache?

Zelkova · 2012-04-05 22:47:56

would it be wrong for me to grow a Charlie Chaplin style moustache? Beards don't suit me but I know I could pull it a 'tache off. They were very fashionable for decades in the early nineteenth century. Do you think people would confuse it for, say a James Joyce? I'd hate people to confuse me as a Joyce fan or something I…
