Creepy moustache rides

If the Japanese toupeé simulator pictures weren’t creepy enough, Schick has taken the uncanny valley to new depths with their moustache simulator. It also has a 3D option, but is less smart than the Japanese site, and requires you to help it out by manually adjusting the face to their simulator. And, once everything is calibrated, the simulator is actually pretty crappy, and comes up with an even scarier representation of your face, with some pretty weird moustache styles (I mean, does anyone really want a Salvador Dali moustache, even as a joke?).
Here are some of the creepy images I came up with. Maybe it’s my creepy, lifeless, anime-sized eyes, or the odd angles at which my shape-changing face keeps turning, but it really reinforces the notion that I would not look good in a moustache. Not even a little bit.
Also, they call it “manscaping”, which sounds a little gay. Which also explains some of the moustache choices.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
