'stache #50 - the alfalfa moustache

Herr God, Herr Lucifer
Beware
Beware.

In this white stache
I rise with my red hair
And I eat men like air.

-- Original “skinny bitch” Sylvia Plath canonized the alfalfa stache in the closing stanza of “Lady Lazarus.”

The staple lip adornment of the raw food movement, alfalfa can be found en masse on the mouths of womyn at radical bookstores, juice bars, yoga studios, and G8 protests. It is spotted most often in cities like San Francisco, Seattle, and Burlington. Also a common sight in southern California, the sprout ‘stache enjoyed short-lived mainstream popularity when Madonna wore it to promote Ray of Light in 1998. Recently, skinny bitches have reclaimed alfalfa’s radical roots and it has become a ubiquitous fashion among vegan ‘stachers.
