“I WOULD LIKE TO THANK GOD FOR BUILDING ME SUCH A GREAT PLATFORM FOR GROWING HAIR…” -Matt Elkins

This is a man with a mustache. This is a mustache on a mission. Meet Matt Elkins. He is the winner of our “Mustache Monday” contest that took place last week. Though we had many great submissions, it was clear that Matt’s ’stache had everything we were looking for.

Let’s chat for a minute about Matt’s ’stache.

All mustaches say one thing or another, but not all mustaches have a purpose. A good mustache must have a purpose. It’s so easy to come across mustaches that serve little to no purpose. Those mustaches just hang out on upper lips looking like shadows, looking like they have no clue as to what they are doing. This mustache… this mustache is worth a thousand words. This is a mustache that has the boldness to say, “Hey look at me!” while at the same time complimenting it’s wearer by saying things like, “Hey, look at Matt!” and, “Hey, Matt has a mustache! He’s dignified and could take you!” I like to think if this mustache could drive a car it would be driving this and if this mustache had a pet, it would be this or maybe even these.

So why did Matt’s mustache win? Well, it’s simple really. His mustache compliments him. Sure, his mustache could be one that drives the most expensive car in the world and keeps endangered species as house pets, but that’s not Matt. You see, Matt’s mustache is all him. Matt owns his mustache, his mustache doesn’t own him. That’s what mustaches are all about. You have to be the one in control. You can’t just grow a mustache and allow it to take control of your face… roaming free, doing whatever it wants. If you grow a mustache people shouldn’t even notice that you have one. They should just notice there is something about you that is powerful and respectable then they notice your mustache. First, they notice you for who you are then they notice the mustache. It’s all about the ’stache complimenting you and that’s why Matt Elkins has a mustache capable of winning such a contest as Mustache Monday.
