Writer's block comes in all shapes and sizes. For my roommate and fellow Proofreader Sarah, it's buying excessive amounts of jewelry at Target. For me, it's getting as close to my writing subject as possible without actually picking up a pen (Or pressing a key. Whatever.). This month's activities have included buying a mustache-shaped ring (Okay, so Sarah isn't the only one fallen prey to retail therapy), chatting up mustachioed passengers on public transportation, and wandering the streets of very yuppie Newtown, Pennsylvania in a fake 'stache. I also used said 'stache to create a gallery of inappropriately-placed mustaches, which you'll find below. Here's to that final desperate attempt to stave off backlash for my M.I.A. essay.
Mmmmm, (sexy) hotcakes.
Jazzing up the Constitution Center.
That is SO Ben Franklin.
Retail therapy, part 844: stick-on mustaches
Think you're more mustache savvy than I am? Send me an inappropriately placed mustache, and I'll add it to the gallery. Trust me, it's worlds more fun than anything else you should be doing.

P.S. Credit for the first inappropriately-placed mustache, and for the inspiration of this project, goes to a really cool kid named Tyler in Glasgow (Thanks for the curry, the dance party, and the awesomely comfy couch).
P.P.S. Thanks to Sarah for ever-being my model. (and thanks for spending two hours in that haunted basement cellar last year for the sake of my art).
No worries, mate!
