The Romancer

May 5th, 2008 by Mike Nelson · 19 Comments

RiffTrax own Josh Gemma is a beard/hairstyle chameleon, an artist working constantly in an underutilized medium (that is, hair.) In fact, though he seems resistant, but we are softening his resolve, hoping we can send him as our delegate to the World Beard and Mustache Championships in Anchorage. The competition is stiff, but he’s made a good start in the Full Beard category.

This style of beard, so I’m told, is known as “The Romancer” and as you can see, what with the pipe, the gerbera daisy, and the jacket over bare chest, he is ready for romance…

    For some reason these images remind me of this.

    Hmm. Without the shirt, I see this look as “Early French Hobo” meeting maybe “Pantless Neighborhood Unregistered Sex Offender.”An instant classic. j/k

    He should also register at http://www.beards.org/

    They take their mission of getting beards the respect they deserve very seriously. I would encourage Josh to also enter his beard(s) into the gallery for posterity’s sake. I’m partial to the success stories. Not every man has the fortitude to free his follicles. Be inspired!!

    With That look I’m sure he’d be welcomed at many Gay Pride gatherings.

    God…. what is that in the background? A painting in Hell’s waiting room?

    And Bill comes in and says he (or his kid) painted it in 3… 2… 1…

    That is nice and all but shouldn’t he be wearing a shirt with that jacket?

    I think we need to give props for the hat – I mean, it’s no Joey Pants special or anything, but the young man is clearly trying…

    to quote dr. kelso-”hello there, sweetheart!”

    Haha, I thought the same thing.

    Is Josh wearing the hairshirt as penance for his crime of fashion?

    Between this and Bill’s Collon Chocolate… I have a bad feeling about what Kevin is cooking up for a post…

  • 12 Tim S. Turner on May 5, 2008 at 4:06 pm

    I think Kevin could give him a run for his money!

    If he were dead you could call the style the Necromancer.

    I get error messages every time I come to this blog. The error messages complain about two lines. The first says ‘_gat’ is undefined, and the second is ten line later: object expected. You guys have errors in your coding, and it’s driving me crazy!

    EEeeeeeee-he-he-heeewwwwwwwwwwww!

    It sounds like you have JavaScript disabled. The _gat line is for Google Analytics. Not our code, it’s your browser :)

    Does Joey Pants know Josh is wearing his hat?

    What’s more, he’s got it turned the wrong way around.
