The Invasion is Coming and It Is Not What The Movies Have Prepared Me For

I have never been very fond of a mustache, even a "good" mustache. Now people will immediately retort with something like "what about Tom Selleck?" To which I would say, "yeah, I don't know... I guess..." What I really guess is that maybe, just maybe, a mustache is ok if you started it in the 80s, after all I was started in the 80s and while I hope I am nowhere near as confusing as a mustache I do have some sympathies for that decade. So ok, I will let people have their 80's originated mustaches without a fight.

But, what is with mustaches being so in style right now? I didn't get it when dudes would show up at church with mustaches (and often no socks with their nice church shoes and suits. WHAT?). I didn't get it when guys at school would grow mustaches just because they could. I don't really understand having a mustache image on a pillow or a t-shirt. I almost get have a mustache on a stick for silly pictures, because sure sometimes you might want to be silly. I totally get wanting to be a little quirky; I love to be quirky. But, are mustaches and mustache paraphernalia really that quirky? If they were quirky they sure aren't anymore, right? Something can't be considered all that quirky when everyone and their dog is doing, literally you can find fake mustaches on stuffed animals and I am sure people have or are just about to put them on their real animals. All of this is very confusing to me. You can get a leather copper mustache necklace or crocheted mustaches (who whats to take the time to crochet a mustache); there are mustaches everywhere. They are littering Pintrest and Etsy and everything else internet related. People are even having mustache themed parties, what does that mean?

 I have continually been confused and stunned to hear of all this mustaching, but today things got worse. I was just browsing along and saw it, a mustache ice tray. I don't know what to say, I feel a little... well uncomfortable really. I guess it is possible that I am just not hip enough to get this super awesome trend. but, I feel like any minute the mustaches are going to take over everything. It is like my biggest nightmare. Some kind of creepy invasion but instead of allies or transformers (which if a lot of Hollywood history is to be trusted is bad enough) it will be mustaches.

Is it just me or is anyone else feeling a little uneasy?
