The Beard Monologues: Michi

Michi is the boyfriend of my lovely friend Lena. Lena has a passion for beautiful tableware – whether she brings me fruit salad in a cute box before our Sunday workout or serves you the best self-made lemonade in colorful cups – she really has an eye for those things! For this reason I just had to photograph the beard of her boyfriend with some kind of food or drink decoration. See for yourself after the jump.

My beard and I quickly established a connection two years ago. My girlfriend brought him into the relationship, because she likes beards so much. And my naked chin doesn’t prick and tickle enough when kissing. One could say that she is beardicted. Because I love her more than my wet shaver, I seperated from the razor without further ado and became a bearded man – and as it turns out I actually really enjoy it.

I might never pass as the next William Fitzsimmons, but that is purely based on my bad singing.

By now my beard has made it to a remarkable length for my standards. Even though it’s far from flawless.

I liked Alicia’s idea to decorate my beard with cocktail umbrellas right from the start recalling memories of an ice-cream sundae with whipped cream, candy sprinkles and colorful paper umbrellas on top of it. Wearing a beard is like a a little warm hug for the face. Similar to dipping a scoop of ice-cream into liquid chocolate.

Anyways, I have to go invite my girlfriend for some ice-cream now.
