Beards to the Rescue
Here are some photos from the Friday night’s flirtation with hair-raising, also known as the Festival of the Fantastical Facial Follicle.
How many beards can you count?
We are not sure the color of this dress, but this lady made quite an impression with style and substance in the feminine category (lashes/brows).
Syracuse’s favorite impersario Mike Heagerty preps the judges. He is wearing an extension, or a beard weave or chin toupe crafted by Shannon Flemming.
These contestants know how to apply mustache wax like a couple of bosses.
Todd Yoder (right), a two-time beard champ, said he hasn’t shaved his tentacled facial sweater since last year. He is pictured here with a fellow winner.
