He also plays the most sensual instrument known to man: the saxophone. But there’s one important life achievement he has mastered, for which he has also sadly gone unacknowledged… UNTIL NOW. Here’s to your beard, Jude. read more…

BE MINE, BEARD: Common Edition
For me, this is the beard that started it all. This is my gateway beard. After my first hit of this beard, I headed straight down a spiral of irresponsible beard lust. You did this to me, Common. And I thank you for it. read more…
BE MINE, BEARD: Jon Hamm Edition
Recently there’s been a lot of attention focused on certain parts of Jon Hamm but we’re not going to succumb to that easy prey. We’re staying above the shoulders, paying homage to the less private parts of Jon Hamm. Because you’re more than your manhood, Jon Hamm… and we respect that. So let’s objectify your beard. read more…
BE MINE, BEARD: George Clooney Edition
We’ve paid tribute to a lot of great beards so far (like this and this and this and this) but dare I say, this might be one of the most talented beards on the earth. Why? Because it has the sheer audacity to make a man like George Clooney even more painfully attractive than he already is. Bold move, beard. read more…
BE MINE, BEARD: Adrien Brody Edition
Preceding this particular bearded angel, Devendra Banhart, Tinie Tempah, Tom Hardy, and Jake Gyllenhaal took the cake for “Beard of the Week.” And whether or not “angel” is the right/appropriate/normal term to be used in this particular situation, you should probably still take the time to bask in the hidden glories of Adrien Brody’s beard – because said ~glories~ are all very interesting and important and will probably change your life for the better. read more…

Welcome to the second installment of Be Mine, Beard. (If you missed our inaugural beard, Donnie Beardo would like to have a word with you.) This week we’re heading across the pond to pay homage to British rapper Tinie Tempah’s perfectly manicured face-mane. Look at it.

Contrary to popular belief I don’t think beards are a temporary trend, here to grace us with their presence for only a moment until smooth skin once again barges in to reclaim its former glory. You’re still cool in my books, baby face. I just think as a generation, we’ve moved into the phase of our lives in which we’ve become mature enough to respect the masculine magic of a beard and the men in our lives are old enough to actually grow them. It’s a win-win. So just let it happen.
Starting now, every Monday will be Beard Appreciation Day (this is official – tell everyone you know) and Be Mine, Beard will be a regular column, here for you each week to satiate our relentless passion for pogonotrophy (Google it). read more…
