How many people do you know have a mustache?,
Will you realize at first glance if they shaved it off?

Mustaches are often so much a part of a face that they often go unnoticed. It seems that when removed from the face and juxtaposed to a blank wall the mustache becomes an unusual decoration or odd point of interest. Taken out of it's nature habitat the mustache can now be revered for it's major role in historical and contemporary styles, adorning the faces of many distinguished and or unruly characters, a mark of identity.
