ANCHORAGE – "‘Stache-thletes" from Los Angeles swept the Imperial (handlebar) mustache category at last night’s World Beard and Moustache Championships here, an early victory in what would prove to be the strongest-ever showing by the Americans since the games began in 1990.
The reigning champ, musician Alexander Antebi, preened and vamped his way to third place in what he dubbed his "Ziggy Czar Dust' getup, professional skateboarder (and Bristly Chap) Patrick Melcher took second place, and Benjamin Juergens came out of nowhere to take first place in his first-ever competition.
