Bauer-Griffin
online, a pair of first-rate paparazzi photographers pegging themselves as “The
Hollywood Hunt Club,” request the patronage of the mustache nation.
The celebrity
photo site run by Frank Griffin and Randy Bauer is running a well done vote for
your “Mustachioed Idol.” You can check out the site and vote for your idol here, and it seems these guys are
pretty legit with an interesting back-story.
A bit about Frank and Randy: After
nearly three decades of rock and roll photography, Frank Griffin landed in Los
Angeles fourteen years ago with only a scarf he’d gotten at an Air Supply show
in Reno. Three weeks later – drunk, stoned, and due to the fact that his long
mustache was blowing in his eyes – he broke his neck in a motorcycle accident. People,
that is a real man. People who break necks in bike accidents and live to tell
about it – those are mustache people.
Frank’s partner Randy Bauer started snapping pro pics in New York young – real young. He published his
first pic at 16, and then about 10 years ago, jumped a Greyhound bus for California where he made
sweet love with three homeless men en route. That’s commitment.
These guys have stalked the lies of Reese Witherspoon, Renee Zellweger, the
jugular Pamela Anderson, Meg Ryan, Russell Crowe, Britney Spears, Matt LeBlanc,
J. Lo and Ben Affleck. We only wish they had gone after the dirt-bag Dave
Navarro.
Here’s what we really dig about these guys. They say, "Paps are the
only real journalists in Hollywood."
Arguable, but a reasonable point to raise. And Griffin added this gem, which clearly
indoctrinates them into the mustached Americans hearts of hearts, “We don't
have to worry about who we piss off. Everyone's already pissed at us."
Welcome to the club.
