The election season is in full swing. Please remember – your vote counts! Go now to cast your ballot for the Robert Goulet Memorial Mustached American of the Year Award that:
Recognizes the person who best-represents or contributes to the Mustached American community during the prior year, and is named in honor of the late and legendary performer Robert Goulet, whose voice, trademark mustache, sense of humor, and black leather jackets represented a quadruple-threat of talent the American Mustache Institute is proud to salute.

Many thanks to Rethoryke, who knows how much I admire a good moustache, for this wonderful slide show highlighting entrants in the recently held 2012 European Beard and Moustache Championships in Wittersdorf near Mulhouse, Eastern France.
