I have sideburns.
Not really bushy ones, well not yet… I only grew my beard for a week then shaved off the bits that weren’t sideburn, but give it a few weeks more and I think we’ll be talking wooly muttonchops.
I’m playing that part of a fictional Victorian engineer/inventor at a theme weekend at the end of September. I’m going for the Brunel style sideburn.
You beauty!
I have good muttonchops. I was even compared to Noddy Holder recently.
Mmmm, Cup-a-Soup.
I have sideburns.
You know, I actually missed sideburns when they went out of style. Very nice now that sideburn-ectomies aren’t so extreme.
You should be quite dashing with your cheek fuzzies, Mangetout. Anybody commented yet?
I had semi-muttons once, they weren’t as “fat” as real ones, but they were kinda long. Now, I have reverted back to my normal sideburns, simply an extension of my hair, normal width, ending just below my ear lobes. I love 'em. Since having them, I have only shaved them off three times, two of those times were by accident (I have since decided never to try and “trim” them so that the right and left sides are equal length.) The third time was because my GF had never seen me without them and wanted to see what I would look liek without them…she agreed for me to grow them back.
They define me. Many people have actually commented on them, and how I always have them (as oppossed to those guys who might change their facial hair look every moth or so.)
No, but they are still growing in; they certainly will generate comment when they are a bit more noticeable because they are not done to a half measure (they stop about 1/2 inch short of the corners of my mouth).
Say the what now?
Bugger’s grips not fashionable any more?
Sod it, i’m very attached to my sideburns. They stay.
Everything’s cyclical, soon i will be modishly at the vanguard of the sideburn revival.
We want photos when they’re all grown out 
Please.
OK; I’ll take some in full costume, posing next to my invention (a fictional machine called the Patent Reliable Photo-Automato-Graph)
BUGGERY-GRIPS!!!
no, no, Twisty you are my Wolvie! heee!
(still got a little way to go though!) 
A)It is taking longer than I thought, but I still think we’ll get there, unfortunately, the cheeks are taking the longest to grow in.
B)I chickened out of just growing sideburns and I’m going for a full beard which I will shave back to sideburns for the victorian event.
C)I don’t have a decent digital camera, so here’s a picture of my face smooshed up against the scanner glass. (BTW, I don’t really have a huge gleaming bulbous face, it’s just the way it is squashed against the glass, but see what I mean about the cheeks being a bit thin?)
They say I am starting to look a lot like Tsar Nicholas II Romanov now. (warning: cheesy midi music on the second link)
I’ve scrapped the sideburns idea altogether now and I’ll be keeping the full beard, maybe even after the Victorian event.
There’s an ‘evening do’ for the Vicrtorian weekend and I’m really tempted to hire the Tsar Nicholas costume and go as him - the era is just about perfect.
Mangetout, I tell you this for no other reason than bafflement, my own, as it happens. For some inexplicable reason I see your name on this board and I think of Derek Nimmo. I believe he’s now dead, which is unfortunate.
Didn’t Derek Nimmo play a ‘man of the cloth’ at some stage . . .I wonder if that’s it . . .
btw, congratulations on the SB’s - I favour the Jason King look, myself.
