Coco For Beards
Original: Build-A-Beard
With Conan O'Brien finally announcing the name of his new show (properly titled, Conan) on TBS, we wanted to make sure real fans were ready for October 8th. Not only are we hoping he debuts with a full beard, but that each member of the viewing audience has with them their very own bearded Coco Doll.
Yes, that's right, thanks to the wonderful world of Etsy, a few lucky buyers who were fast enough to click "Add to Cart" purchased their very own king of late night.
BaB was slow on the draw, unfortunately. Did you buy one? If so, how much do you want for it?

Jennifer Miller, the lady with the beard, will also be in attendance cheering on the contestants and scratching her own facial fuzz. In past interviews, Jennifer has been quoted as saying:
"You’ve got Hair Club for Men: they all want it! It goes all the way back to Samson and his big mane of power. That’s why men don’t want women to have too much of it in too many places. So, here I am, a gal with a beard, prancing around the streets of New York.”
Rock on...

U.S. Open - $7.75 Isn't Worth A Shave
Original: Build-A-Beard
Embrace the beard.
That's the cry of R. A. Dickey of the Mets in response to Tina Taps, the U.S. Open’s director of ball persons (yes, you a) read that correctly b) this job exists) when she told him that in order to be a ball boy for Nikolay Davydenko’s misses, he would need to shave.
According to The New York Times, Dickey was asked if he would be willing to shave for the opportunity to crouch by a net, sweat, and field balls. As of now, he is unsure.
“I would prefer that they ...

Trying Harder To Score Chicks & The Mustache
Original: Build-A-Beard
Ever since Rushmore, I have adored Jason Schwartzman, but this adoration increased ten fold when I caught him on Jimmy Kimmel Live! rocking a sweet 'stache.
The reasoning for it?
"I have this mustache, and the reason I have this mustache is, when I was young, my father had a mustache. Growing up, it embarrassed me. I'm expecting a child in December... I decided to grow out this mustache, so when we take photos…my boy or girl, whatever it is ... they will be embarrassed. So I am now thinking of ways to embarrass my unborn child."
Whatever the reasoning, Jason, you look sophisticated & saucy.

The Hair Behind The Great Food Truck Race
Original: Build-A-Beard
"Hey! That truck has a mustache!"
It takes a lot to get my attention, but when someone yells that a truck is sporting a mustache, you bet that my head is turning to see it. If you're late to the game, The Food Network has a new show called The Great Food Truck Race (GFTR for the savvy readers), which premiered two weeks ago.
Let's sum this up quickly - the competing food trucks are eliminated based on which one makes the least amount of money each week. Each week, a new city, a new challenge, and some bizarre twist to keep it interesting with the hopes of winning $50K.
Here's our favorite food trucks (ranked in order of appeal):
