'stache #37 - lime moustache

Popularized by a certain class of women in the cocktail-soaked 1920s, the freewheeling young women wearing the citrus moustache were referred to in the society pages as “tarts,” a mildly derisive nickname that endures. Despite its flashy provenance, the lime moustache fell out of favor in ensuing decades, and is now considered the fourth most popular citrusstache, behind orange, lemon and kumquat.

Women may wear the lime moustache year round, though the risk of being tagged as a lady of questionable morals remains.

'stache #13 - the orange 'stache

Thought to fend off scurvy, the orange moustache was as common as salted meats and buggery among 18th century transatlantic sailors. While its disease fighting properties remain inconclusive, its stylishness has never been in doubt, with the brief exception of the bad old days when Gram Parsons left his snooty Florida family grove to sing country and play the dandy in his nudie suit. Often paired with a black t-shirt and blue jeans, the orange moustache remains a statement ‘stache.

The orange moustache may be worn year round in the northern hemisphere. You can see here it is modeled from streets of Hollywood to the Ivory Tower.
