BEARD OFF WEEK 4

Apparently last weeks little pep talk worked, actually, it may have worked too well. I definitely don't have to write as many captions, this weeks photos have a lot of explaining of their own to do. Thoroughly enjoy!

 

Tyler Ridlen

Mustache is getting nice and hipsterish right about now.

 

Robert Malmstrom

Wise words in Roberts email, "A man doesn't grow his beard. A beard grows his man."

 

Matt Byers

Another day in the blue-collar beard life. Ain't no thaaaaaaaaaang...

 

Kyle Vincent

Kyle has truly outdone himself this week. Being night shift manager at Glamour Shots has its perks. However, his lawyer called and threatened to start charging me royalties for using his photos!

 

JohnPaul Widener

JP couldn't get permission from his night shift manager to use the props in the back of Glamour Shots studio, which puts him at a disadvantage. Luckily, his beard is the only prop he needs for this competition.

 

Jim Pierce

JD Epperson

JD was a litte to inspired by my pep talk last week!

"Before, I was in this contest just to compete and become the first Tree & Leaf beard champion; but you've opened my eyes. Now I'm doing it for AMERICA."

 

Greg Gilpin

I forgot to mention, need design work or promotional products? If so, this is your guy. My old man runs Graphic Art Center which was his dad's graphic design firm started right here in Oklahoma since 1952.

 

Dru Monk

Nice even mane of beard hair.

 

Clinton Trench

Red beard the pouty viking.

 

Chris "DEXTER" Farris

I didn't know someone could be a Mavs fan and a Longhorns fan at the same time...ew..

Nice beard however!

 

Caleb Stevenson

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CALEB! YOU LOOK SO HAPPY!

Caleb's beard just turned 4 weeks old, and he just turned 30!

"We celebrated by taking a bubble bath, crying with a gallon of Ben & Jerry's Coffee Heath Bar Crunch ice cream, and watching a Will & Grace marathon on the Lifetime channel."

 

Caleb and Lucian "The Fury" Lack

Caleb Lack came crawling back from Agentina in quite a stupor from all the wine and steak salad. This picture embodies his international hangover that he calls "jet lag."

"Some men teach their sons how to shave, others teach them how to be men. Lucian is going for the B for Beardetta look."

 

Bryan Mathews

FEAR THE BEARD!

 

Brian Pelts

"Chicks dig beards," says Brian Pelts. Honestly though chicks dig VIP passes and merchandise from sporting events.

 

Brandon Shores

Neck beard in full effect.

 

Andy "Don't Sink My" Boatman

Far off in the distance Andy sees a beard champion victory.

 

Luke Stephens

Lukes Every Girl I Ever Kissed blog recieved some publicity this week in OSU's The Oddessy. Check out the article here.

I mean, who wouldn't want to romantically lean in for a smoochy smooch from this face??

 

 

Kenneth White

PRETTY GNARLY BEARD INDEED KEN, INDEED.

 

Tom "Le Tigre" Paradiso

Don't forget to go down to the Oklahoma River this weekend and check out the Regatta! Le Tigre is probably intimidating all the other cockwains, skullers, and strokers with his wicked beardage. GIVE HER TEN LE TIGRE!

 

Dusty Gilpin

Don't get me started on this guy.

 

Tony "T-Storm" Boersma

T-STORM DIDN'T DO IT!!! HIP HIP HOORAY!!

Yes, lobster hats are coming back in style, and kittens are greater than or equal to symbolic heart icons.

 

John Metcalf

Last week, Metcalf was the cooky deputy. This week he's switched over to the dark side. Let me introduce you to John's alter ego, SNIDELY WHIPLASH.

Craig Delano

Craigers is back in it. I don't know where last weeks picture is. Don't frown, Craiger's still down.

 

That's it! See you next week! Have a great weekend, there is a ton of stuff going.

TREE & LEAF WILL BE CLOSED TOMORROW SINCE WE'LL HAVE A BOOTH AT THE PLAZA DISTRICT FESTIVAL! COME VISIT US AND HAVE A GREAT TIME!

Buy one of the shirts we printed for the festival too!
