moustache

A photograph from the early 1900s shows a man with a softly rounded belly and a straight white moustache.

Last weekend in London's Soho Square he strutted against two dozen other men - and some women with drawn-on moustaches - in a catwalk contest to find the city's best "performative male".

This was successful 14 times but on the 15th attempt, the wind changed direction and blew the fire into his face, causing him to lose an eyebrow and part of his signature moustache.

The star, born Terry Gene Bollea and known for his flowing blond hair and moustache, died at his home in Florida on Thursday.

The office has also documented the public humiliation of a Druze men, including the forcible shaving of his moustache, which is an important cultural symbol for the Druze community.
