Fall is the time of year when the plants start dying—or the wimpiest plants, anyway—and the facial hair starts growing, thanks to stuff like No Shave November and a burgeoning societal desire to reactivate dormant signifiers of masculinity. And that’s why dudes (and through the power of crafting, dudettes a.k.a. Whiskerinas as well!) are letting things get hairy at the OC’s 2nd Annual Beard and Mustache Competition, appropriately hosted at Old World. Enter to win prizes for Styled Mustache, Natural Beard, Long Beard, Partial Beard, Sideburns and Chops, and Freestyle Beard—which so far is as close as it gets to the as-yet-uninvented non-Euclidean Unnatural Beard—and don’t space on the Whiskerinas, where the most exciting conceptual action happens. Think of it as more an art show than a beauty contest, and you'll be ready.
