Sepia Saturday 116 – Facial Hair – no, not mine

Posted on 10/03/2012 by Jo Graham

The theme for this week’s Sepia Saturday post is Facial Hair.  I’m not a big fan of the old Face Fungus – a bit of designer stubble is OK, but a man sporting the full “burst mattress” look  is likely … Continue reading →
