We all develop style in all facets of life. We present ourselves, perform endeavors, and follow our crafts in special ways. Cormac McCarthy has a certain writing style that drives the content of his novels in a profound way. The same may be said of any great writer. My father has a very unique style of dress, full-on proletariate shabby, that he has developed during years of wearing work uniforms; I like to wonder how he would choose to present himself were he a candidate for an Oscar. This highly positive flight of fancy has led me to seriously consider pitching to Aramark executives that they expand their operations to the sphere of leisure wear.

The American M(o)ustache Institute (AMI) is in the business not of making a fortune but rather of "protecting the rights of, and fighting discrimination against, mustached Americans by promoting the growth, care, and culture of the mustache." These defenders of style deserve credit for their work, namely their resource pages and provocative monthly mustache interviews including such m(o)ustachioed luminaries as Patrick Bertoletti, competitive eater, Hemky Madera, actor, and Alexander Antebi, 2007 "Imperial Mustache Champion." You can find faith in the LWV, hope in the ACLU, love in the IBEW, charity in the MSPCA...I will choose to find all of the above in the AMI and may even opt to bear their standard well beyond September 19, 2010, when the Last Gasp charity event will be held on Cape Cod.
