Hipster envy...

Can you see anything wrong with how I look in this photo Gail took just over a week ago, when we went for a walk in the snow?

No me neither, but according to Gail, the fact that my beard was long enough to have icicles suspended from it was a Bad Thing.

Now if I had been allowed to accompany Gail on her business trip to London a few days ago, I could perhaps have taken the Tube to the hipster Mecca of Shoreditch while she was attending her boring meetings, and my luxuriant beard might have been given a special professional styling (e.g. look carefully at the beard pictured below...)
Shoreditch hipster 'animal beard'

But no, instead I have had to put up with Gail's amateur efforts with the pinking shears, leaving me almost bereft of my signature facial fuzz...

  1. I like both variations... and you have something like a rockstar with that long beard... maybe zz-top needs a new band leader?

  5. I'm thinking you are just wearing that beard thing as a disguise, and it is really Prince Harry under that fuzz.

    Good dog, Bertie lad, you wouldn't really want an otter crawling over your chinny-chin-chin, would you??? I think you now look very... aerodynamic. Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx

  8. A decent beard has long been the number one must-have fashion item for any fugitive from justice.

  9. I think even after Gails grooming attempt you closely resemble some "Hipster Wanna Be-s" here on in the Pacific Northwest!

  13. That's a crazy beard that fellow has. Seems like it might be kind of itchy.

    My assistant occasionally tries to trim the fur around my face ...and I usually end up looking pretty silly.
