26. Saturnstache (winner of the interplanetary moustache championships)

With apologies to NASA, from which I grabbed the original image.


 Note: Today's moustache was inspired by planets and burritos:

25. Super spork-stache!

25. Super spork-stache!




It's a spoon! It's a fork! As if that weren't enough, it folds! And, if you have two, it makes a handy moustache!

A double-sided wooden spoon for eating ice cream, in this case, chocolate.

23. Power outlet

I think I see four faces, each with a toothbrush moustache.
One looks surprised, one has a mohawk or a little hat...

BONUS: Presidential Moustache Roundup

BONUS:
(Post) Presidents Day Presidential Moustache Roundup:
Monday is over, and I'm just now getting to this, but -- here it is...
The following US presidents wore moustaches:

# 21: Chester Arthur (1881-85)

#22, #24: Grover Cleveland (1885-89, 1893-97)

#26: Theodore Roosevelt (1901-1909

#27: William Howard Taft (1909-1913)

Some, of course, wore beards as well. I'll save them for next year.
note: these images are in the public domain in the United States (published before 1923)

This guy already has his own moustache, and a style named after him as well.

15. Moostache

15. Moostache.
Need I say more? 


I cut this from a roll of electrical tape, which is also an easy way to make a finger moustache without trying to draw one on yourself upside down. I think I see two moustache-shaped spots on this side.

7. Cupcakes

7: Cupcakes!

I made some cupcakes to ccelebrate my first week!
.... decorated with some tasty pink frosting....

... and laid out in a moustache-like pattern.

I'm sure that there are better ways to do this. I tried, but most of mine came out looking like bats or game controllers.

5. Clay tools

5. clay tools
These are wooden tools used for molding clay. Actually, it's the same one, flipped over and photographed twice. Handy!

2. Fabric moustaches

2. Fabric moustaches

I cut these freehand from a scrap of wool from another project.
I think I had a toy "spy kit" as a kid that came with disguises like a pair of fake eyeglasses with a few moustaches in addition to fingerprinting dust, binoculars, and a magnifying glass. These with a little double stick tape would make for an easy expansion set.
I've tentatively grouped them into optimists, pragmatists, and pessimists:

 inverted pyramid, dali, sideburner, handlebar, small handlebar, imperial, mario
 English, chevron, pyramid, walrus, pencil, toothbrush
mexican, horshoe, fu manchu

The first one I made was the uppermost in that third set....

If you really want to make a secret disguise kit, you could hide them in a book, and make a book of 'staches....
