You're not a real artist unless you have a real moustache

[Serpian]

We all know how it feels to be outmatched by another artist. Be all know that feeling of both great admiration and massive envy. The crushing knowledge of defeat can make the most proud man break down and cry. That knowledge, that no matter what, you will never have more than the second best moustache. Sometimes it just feels like this (http://www.katebeaton.com/Site/History_Project_2_files/fleming.jpg)

For me, that Velazques pic wins the thread. There are longer moustaches. There certainly are bigger moustaches. But not much can top the sheer style of that moustache.

[Ilaekae]

It's a little fuzzy (shaky hand/bad mirror) but there's a mustache in there somewhere... :P

[TASmith]

Clochette I'm pretty slow, but yeah, I took a second to see the name written on Sargent's canvases. And I already knew the Courbet, I saw it at the Musee D'Orsay. I guess I'm slower than usual because I'm sick. Stayed home today. Thanks for the recent crit in my SB, btw! You should be more critical. Tell me what sucks.
