ECCE LABRUM PILOSUS! (behold the lip hair)

Well, as promised, here it is.

I'll allow each of you a few moments for gasps or quiet reflection.

It's been called many a name ('trash-stache', 'crust-stache', 'that thing') by it's doubters, but -- whether the world is ready for it or not -- this is my first full-fledged attempt at hosting facial hair.

Conceived against the backdrop of a harsh Chinese winter the stache quickly took on a life of its own. Dubbed "xiaxing qui chiaxen" (loosely translated into 'Julio Cesar Chavez') by the crowds that gathered to admire it, the arrangement of hair has already inspired thousands of Asians who also must fight the personal battle of having non-traditional-facial-hair-growth-patterns.

Currently, JCC is on a creative hiatus at an undisclosed location, though, a movie deal starring a scaled back version of chuck norris' goatee is being discussed.
