We’re not sure who or what Riva Starr is. We think he might be a London-based DJ and music producer, but who’s to say.
Either way, according to his label, Positiva Records,he has a “club smash” called ‘I Was Drunk’ which is available for purchase on iTunes. The title track is featured in this video, which you will have trouble turning off….for some reason.
Dusted off this ABC News chestnut from 2006, which features American Mustache Institute chairman emeritus Jay Della Valle, which reminded us about our successful efforts to reintroduce the lip sweater into the American consciousness.
After both of his parents were diagnosed with cancer, Dr. Lou Jacobs decided to fight cancer with his mustache.
The Portland, Maine-based chiropractic acupuncturist’s mother had passed away in May 2010 after battling inflammatory breast cancer and his father is scheduled for a bone marrow transplant for leukemia on August 25.
So Dr. Lou is working to raise upwards of $10,000 for cancer research and education by January 1, 2011, for which he will shave off his luxurious lip sweater — if the voters want him to do so.
With each donation, Dr. Lou will take votes — save or shave.
Dr. Jacobs has partnered with Roger Inhorn, M.D., Ph.D., medical director of oncology and hematology at Mercy Hospital in Portland, who will help fundraise and the two are working to secure a monthly spot on local news to discuss cancer detection, prevention and treatment.
For more information, contact Dr. Lou Jacobs in his office at (207) 774-6251, mobile at (207) 807-1119, or email drj@drloujacobs.com.
While 100 percent agave tequila brand Corazon Tequila is currently the official tequila of the Mustached American people, Jose Cuervo is making a run at the title.
Cuervo is challenging Mexicans to grow large, fruitful mustaches that are full of rich flavor in honor of their country’s bicentennial next month, which is admirable to say the least.
Contestants upload pictures of themselves and their Labia Sebuculas (Latin for “lip sweater”) to Jose Cuervo’s bigotes.mx site. Bigote is Spanish for mustache, and the site has even invented a Spanish word bigotizar to describe the act of mustache growing. For those who suffer from Bare Upper Lip Disorder (BULD) and cannot raise a mustache, Cuervo encourages fake lower nose gardens.
Regardless, the American Mustache Institute approves.
The American Mustache Institute South Florida Chapter has awarded its 2nd annual American Mustache Institute Scholarship to Curtis Berger, a senior at Jensen Beach High School in Jensen Beach, Fla.
The annual scholarship, created by AMI South Florida Bureau Chief & President Hans Heinz, is given each year to a deserving senior who can grow a thick and luxurious lip cabana, and vows to uphold all things that are, as the Dutch say, “mustachey.”
The scholarship contest is open to men and women who will graduate in the calendar year, and judged by AMI’s Heinz and a blue ribbon panel of Mustached American culture experts.
The winner of the honor is given a certificate of achievement, a photograph with AMI’s Heinz, a copy of Hall & Oates’ Greatest Hits, and of course, the scholarship totaling $5 which can be used toward tuition, room and board, books, or to purchase films featuring midgets.
“Never has there been a more deserving recipient of this award,” said Heinz, who’s panel chose the winner among a field of twenty seniors this year. “The scholarship keeps gaining speed and popularity and I hope to see this thing go national in the future.”
Berger, as expected, was humbled by the experience and honor.
“It is really icing on the cake,” he said. “I had already received a full ride to Tusculum University on a soccer scholarship, which was due partially to me growing a mustache for my junior and senior years. The stache greatly enhanced my athleticism and my overall manliness. Besides that, it got me lot’s of chicks.”
When asked what he planned to do with his scholarship money, Berger added, “I plan to use the money to get myself a Double Down from KFC!”
Well played Curtis… well played.
Carry on.
Tyler Dewitt is like any other American young man. He is a 21-year-old history and finance major at the University of Georgia, working his way through school as a waiter at the Inoko Japanese Steakhouse in Athens, Georgia; as well as being a robust ping pong player with a penchant for Hardee’s Monster Thickburgers and disabled horses.
Most important, however, Mr. Dewitt is a proud, unflinching Mustached American, and it is because of that heritage that his employers at Inoko have chosen to discriminate against him and his heritage.
“For the past few months, Tyler has been working at Inoko while cultivating a handlebar mustache,” said his Senior Mustache Advocate, Stephen Hancock. “Until recently the two have coexisted peacefully. Now management has decided they want him to get rid of his mustache.”
According to Mssrs. Dewitt and Hancock, an incident recently occurred involving a hair in a salad, which was then used as leverage to demand Mr. Dewitt shave his mustache. He was told that if he did not comply, he would be terminated.
Clearly, internment camps for Japanese Americans following the Pearl Harbor attack has done nothing to teach the owners of Inoko about the terrors of discrimination.
Mr. Dewitt works his next shift is Saturday, August 7, and intends to arrive and work with his mustache held high. The American Mustache Institute asks that you support Mr. Dewitt by joining him at the restaurant with signs protesting these discriminatory practices, as well as visiting Inoko’s Facebook page and leaving comments voicing your displeasure.
You can also reach Mr. Dewitt at (404) 717-3041

As part of the American Mustache Institute’s ‘Stache Scale Analysis series — which as you may recall is part of AMI’s effort to sample products developed for people of Mustached American hertiage — Dr. Aaron Perlut recently stopped by a Hardee’s location in downtown St. Louis to analyze the restaurant chain’s new hand breaded chicken tenders.
One of the top choices for Mustached American mammals when seeking out casual dining establishments, Hardee’s has traditionally provided a variety of thick, meaty, and delicious fare fit for the voracious appetite of the lip sweater community, and the new offering did not disappoint Dr. Perlut.
The official sexiness correspondents of the American Mustache Institute — musical group The Flavor Savers — are set to play a special show at the House of Blues in Chicago on August 28th and all Mustached Americans and their ladies are requested to flock to see them.
