Bearded Lady


Here at Beard Revue, we celebrate the wild, wonderful beard. We don't discriminate, nor do we judge. (OK, I suppose we do judge.) What I’m trying to say is that we respect the beard, in whatever size, shape, form, color, denomination, creed, race, or nationality it comes. And let me add to that: gender.

Female facial hair has a long and varied history. Probably most popular as part of the carnival freak-show, the bearded lady has a much more noble (and respectable) history. Many contemporary feminists view facial hair as a political statement… to which I say rubbish. It’s not political, it’s just good fashion.

Vivian Wheeler of Wood River, Illinois holds the Guiness World Record for the longest beard for a female — with hairs measuring up to 11 inches long:


The bearded lady is an interesting subject that pops up in numerous places throughout recorded history…

This is a commercial for Venus razors, starring my dear friend Abbe Meryl (and some really tall, freaky dude — and no he’s not a freak because he’s tall, he’s a freak because he’s beardless). While she doesn’t sport a beard most days of the year, I do have to say that Abbe looks quite stunning in a full beard, as would many ladies.

So take this as a tip, ladies. Real men will appreciate you for who you are, beard and all.
