For those new to this blog, once upon a time, around a few months ago we had a very popular Friday post called ‘Babe of the Week’ where we would profile people that we had crushes on and wanted to tell the world just how awesome we thought they were. We were young and naïve, full of love and laughter and our main innocent aim, apart from having an excuse to talk to said crushes, was to brighten up a few people’s days. Give ‘em a wink and tell them we thought they were a bit of alright. Never did it actually occur to us that some people weren’t too keen on being winked at, nor did we fathom that those we didn’t wink at would end up resenting us and writing off, what intended to be a bit of fun, as some big scenster wank fest. After a few cruel words, we caved, our spirits easily broken, and babe of the week was abandoned like the toy you get with a happy meal. Seriously – where do they all end up?

A few months have past since and we’ve now had the time to build up our courage again, we’ve practice our winking and like a new divorcee, we’re ready to get back into the babe game. But this time we’ve decided to give it a hairy twist. In homage of one of the biggest babes that ever lived – Cat Stevens, we’re on the look out for glorious beards.

This week’s bearded beauty is Sydney stunner Mikey. Utterly impressed by his knack for not shaving and his slight resemblance to fellow beard Zach Galifianakis, Mikey’s impressive thick facial growth makes him the ideal first beard of the week. The urge to curl up and take a nap in this here chin carpet is strong. Mmmmm luscious.Mikey works at the Ksubi store in Paddington and was snapped by our southern correspondent Rachel of I want what she’s wearing. Mikey has been growing his beard for a while now because his friend, the designer for Graz sunglasses, wants him to be bearded when he models in the upcoming lookbook for Graz. We’ll keep our eyes peeled for you Mikey, but in the mean time keep up the good growing effort.
