Stache Expectations

Convalescing from ankle surgery in Arizona, I started daydreaming about my blog and travel partner, Neville.

One fairly odd idea occurred to me; that as he starts planning his next journey to the States, I was thinking that, as he will be arriving with a clean slate, he’s well positioned to set his own image and aura. The Feds have long forgotten his past brushes with the immigration authorities. His old paramours have all moved on, heartbroken and rejected.

This fresh start really allows him to choose a brand new ‘visitor image’ as if he was an intriguing European dignitary touring the home of the brave, land of the free. Neville can adopt a brand new persona as he sets out to break new hearts and new laws on his newest visit.

So, that thought starting my imagination rolling on down the track. I started wondering what would Neville look like if he decided to grow a mustache on his next tour. Mustache’s can add a lot of character to a tan-less mug such as Neville’s. I have set up some examples that might give you an idea of some of the possibilities Neville may want to adopt.

After looking at some of the ideas I came up with, I’ll give you an opportunity to choose which ‘Stache you think might best suit Neville as he rambles the highways and byways of these United States.

OK, now is the time to choose your most ideal facial configuration for your hero and host. Choose wisely old pal, Neville may take your choice sincerely. He does that sometimes.

While you are thoughtfully considering, click on the Youtube link below to listen to some Scottish Lads. Sure, go ahead and imagine them in mustache’s too. You have the ultimate power!

Cheers, nca
