Mooch LOVE

It's November already! The greatest month of the year - the month in which I was born, so how could it not be awesome - just got WAY MORE AWESOME with the invention of a new blogosphere theme, the brainchild of the divine Dolce And Namak.


This month is MOuchoPrema!


You guys: the month known around the world as MOvember, a month in which normally baby-faced guys actively try and rock the facial fuzz (usually for a good cause), has been adopted by us Bolly-bloggers as a celebration of ALL THINGS MOOCH in a filmi industry that tends to view facial adornment as a symbol of the ULTIMATE IN VIRILITY and MASCULINITY. (Isn't there in fact a saying about how if you don't have a mustache, you're not really a man, or something? Someone must know this?)


So - just to get this mooch party started right, I present to you my own list of my TOP TEN HOTTEST MOOCHES (in no particular order). (Obviously I am not picky about pesky stubble. OBVIOUSLY. My list, my flagrant disregard for "rules"). 

1. Abhishek Bachchan as Rikki Thukral in Jhoom Barabar Jhoom. I know I said no particular order but this is undoubtedly Mooch #1. In fact, I never really saw the appeal of Abhi until I saw him with a mo as skeezy Taj seller Bunty in Bunty aur Babli. I would have bought anything off that man. 

2. Emraan can rock The Walrus, which in my head, I have renamed "The Hashmi".

3. I couldn't find a pic of it but pair this mooch with the white suit Tusshar wears in The Dirty Picture and OOH LA LA. Here, LOOK at his hotness! The mooch is such an improvement:

4. SHATRUUUUUUU! The man, as they say, was BORN to have a mustache. THE ORIGINAL MOOCH FACE!  Don't believe me? Look at him without one. 

5. HOTNESS. Jnr NTR can bring his mooch to any of my lists.

6. Sallu just looked good full-stop in Dabangg, but the pencil mooch (Shatru-inspired?) certainly didn't hurt.

7. To completely second Dolce and Namak's sentiments: I DO NOT KNOW WHY AJAY DEVGN WOULD EVER BOTHER TO SHAVE. 

8. Confession time: I THINK AKKI IS SUPER HOT WITH THIS MO. Shut up haters, I love CC2C too. I crack up EVERY TIME I SEE HIM SLIP ON THE BANANA PEEL.

9. No comment necessary, except to say Hot Papa Khanna is known as HOT Papa Khanna for a reason. MOOCH ADDS POWER.

10. Is it too weird that I just think Ram Charan Teja's mustache is really nicely manicured? Have I spent too much time thinking about mustaches today? Possibly. 

And one that breaks all the rules because it's really part of a full beard BUT HE CAN BREAK ALL THE RULES HE WANTS:

AMJAD KHAN I LOVE YOU AND YOUR FACIAL HAIR FOREVER.


Not all mooch power is positive though. Next post: the movie that made me see my favourite star in the creepiest of lights, thanks to his...horrific facial hair.
