(The Handlebar Club) Colin Farrell is sporting quite the 'stache these days. His take on Sonny Crockett's facial hair (along with Jamie Foxx's sculpted, pointy goatee) is a bit of a departure from the stubble-chinned Don Johnson we remember so fondly from the '80s. Back then, the "Miami Vice" style was everywhere: pastel jackets, loafers without socks, and two-day-old scruff as far as the eye could see. We wonder if the 2006 Vice boys will be so influential. Will they spark a facial hair revolution? Will we start seeing styles like handlebars, Fu Manchus, walruses, and Dalis slowly sprouting around us? Will Rollie Fingers, Abraham Lincoln, and Ned Flanders once again be sex symbols, dominating the fashion world with their distinctively furry faces? It might already be happening. Facial hair fanatics are more active than you might think. They hold beard and mustache competitions around the world, bond over school and community whisker clubs, and even grow facial hair to raise money for charities. For those who can muster up a 'stache, it's a perfect excuse to let their hair down. Suggested Sites...
