Whisker Wars Reality Show and Beard Team USA

The producer of "Deadliest Catch" ("Ax Men", "Ice Road Truckers", "Storage Wars" and more) has created a new seven-episode reality show based on one of our favorite things: facial hair!

The new series is called "Whisker Wars" and airs on IFC on Fridays. The pilot episode features our friend Beard Team USA Captain Phil Olsen and Beard Team USA in the USA National Beard and Mustache Championship, as well as their entry into the 2011 World Beard and Mustache Championship in a future episode.

Over on the Whisker Wars site you can "Beard Yourself", which explains the frightening picture of myself in this post. Let's face it, chicks just can't do facial hair justice the way you sexy men-beasts can. ;-)

The Whisker Wars website also has an IFC locator, so you can find the channel for it in your area.

Please be sure to send congrats to Beard Team USA for their great job at the championships and their appearance on "Whisker Wars".

If you are in the show or have your photo posted on their site (they are running a contest-you can win a $500 gift certificate plus swag), please let me know. I'd be honored to throw some Greek Goddess love your way with votes, links and posts.

Beards in Sports: Creating Samson-like Power?

A post over on CSN waxes poetic about some famous beards in sports and some phenomenal athletes and their facial hair. The end result is a top ten list of the best beards in sports history.

After reviewing the list, please weigh in. Do you agree or disagree with the picks? Do you think facial hair has any bearing on an athlete's ability to perform or his level of confidence? Who sports your favorite beard in sports history and why?

Poll: Do You Find Mustaches Sexy?

Over on Sodahead there is a poll asking the question "Do you find mustaches sexy?" The answers and images are funny, insightful and helpful to any male who is wondering how others view or might view his mustache.

At the time of publication, the results were leaning to the against-mustache crowd. Mustache-lovers, be sure to vote! There is also a map graphic showing which states lean in each direction.

Obviously, the Goddess is PRO-Mustache. ;-)

While we are on the topic, what are the funniest or most bizarre comments and experiences you have had related to your mustache? Please keep comments "PG" in nature.
