THINGS ARE GETTING a little grizzly down here in North Carolina. I’ve got assignments coming out my ears, and my closet seems to have projectile vomited all my clothes into the many corners of my apartment.

She sells these beards on her Etsy shop, and I must admit, I’m saving up for the hot pink one. There is something quite campy about dressing up in a colorful beard–perfect for costumes, theme parties, and other times that you might feel the need to question your identity.

First time here? Here's the idea:
