As our 13.5 loyal readers know, the AMI
always supports those who support the mustache, the AMI, or lunacy in general.
Kristin Otten, a former Harley-Davidson owner and all-around cutie who is
pictured on the right here, is one of these
people.
Kristin was one of the brave souls who
attended the inaugural AMI 'Stache Bash in 2006 before the mustache had begun its comeback. Kristin has actually beaten down three men in broad daylight for not pausing to salute mustached American on St. Louis street
corners. And Kristen gave the shirt off her back to a mustached American who was
down on his luck and living on the bank of the Mississippi
River wearing only a thong.
Now comes word that Kristin's father
Nick, a long-time mustached American and goat herder, has a new feature
column on the Web site of the austere St.
Louis Beacon which includes his latest film and book picks
with brief commentary about each. And while he does not include mention of
"Smokey & The Bandit," " Shaft," or any film vehicle
starring Billy Dee Williams - we bring you his column - which you can read
here
- and encourage you to visit him each week for his picks and musings.
From fine newer
non-mustached vehicles like "Juno" to "Tom Jones" to
"Where the Sidewalk Ends," Nick's column is a solid venue for
ideas on film or those bound pages people call "books."
The support of you - the
Mustacheologists - is not only requested, but expected. Besides, it'll help
Nick keep the gig. So help a brutha out.
Carry on.
