Sideburn Art
Yes, the art of the sideburn.
Since time immemorial, men have cultivated the sideburn.
Over the millenia, sideburns have transformed and garnished male faces in many different ways.
As time marched on, More and more ways to incorporate the sideburn came to light.
But I believe the double threat of the mullet/sideburn one-two combo is just not playing fair. (Especially since my regular readers know how I feel about mullets.)
There are many famous sideburn sporting men. For example who could forget The King and his spectacular set of seventies sideburns? Muy Macho!
How about Spock's pointy ones used as a counterpoint to his pointy ears?
And how could I have a post on sideburns without a nod to the contemporary master Hugh "Wolverine" Jackman?
Now some men can go a bit far with their sideburn statements.
But, admitedly, there are a lot of different statements to be made with a well planned sideburn.
It takes a confident man to make a statement with his facial hair. So, to all my male readers out there, don't miss out on this purely masculine fashion opportunity. It's yours for the taking.
Be sure to vote in the comments for your favorite sideburns. I know it's a tough choice, but don't worry, I won't make you defend it.

Gosh, it's so hard to choose just one! I can't break the tie between Elvis and Wolverine. They both have the look, can sing, and know how to move their hips. Extreme sideburn art combined with extreme pelvic thrusts is extremely entertaining!

Sideburns - I think I would have to vote for Hugh Jackman, because he's Hugh Jackman and well, Wolverine...;)

I think Hugh Jackman looks the best in a not making my skin crawl kind of way, but Joe Dirt David Spade did make me laugh out loud!
Ava, I'm so entertained right now! Hugh Jackman, all the way!!
I'm split between Hugh Jackman and Elvis. I mean, who can pick between those two?? Ah, the glorious sideburn... (WHERE do you find these pictures??? :) )
Oh, the sideburns. I'll take the Wolverine. Hugh can make any thing look good.
Joe Dirt is a poster boy for no facial hair
I hadn't ever noticed that Spock had pointy sideburns. I'll have to keep an eye out for that next time I see a movie with him in it.
First, there is no way I'm showing this to my husband as he is always wanting to do weird things with his facial hair. And, as he is 1/4 Wookie, he could make a shocking hair statement. But Hugh Jackman is my celebrity crush and I think he makes those sideburns look good!
I think I'd have to vote for Elvis for the nostalgia, but Hugh Jackman would win the overall prize because he's still alive and...well...he's Hugh Jackman.
LOL. My hubby grows epic chops, and I love them. I think some men look great with facial hair, and others, not so much. You have to go with what works for you.
Wolverine...always...great post, awesome pics
I;m just not a fan of sideburns, but if I have to vote - it's Spock. :-)
They're horrendous and so funny. I've always been amused by the name "mutton chops." ;)
Thanks for stopping by the blog earlier. You have certainly found a wide variety of sideburns. I tend to be lazy when it comes to shaving (including the sideburns) but after a few days I get annoyed with it and shave it all off. If only there was something that kept me clean shaving that required no effort.

Hi Ava, just returning the A-Z visit - love your blog, what a really unique post!

I've never been a fan of sideburns, but Elvis' were probably the coolest.
I'm not often a big sideburn fan, but Wolverine wins - mostly 'cause he's very nice to look at anyway :).

I remember the '70s, a decade full of sideburns!
Oh my word. They're all awesomely awful! Love it! I'm going with Wolverine. Not much that man can't make sexy! lol
Ahh so wish you could add pictures but will add the link because I think you'll appreciate this man and all his glory even though it's not an actual sideburn. Just scroll a little down to pic 3 :D

Hmm, I think I've been around long enough to remember this original post... But today I must stay true to my Trekkie heritage and vote for Spock! :)
Huge definitely is the winner for me, But I'm not the biggest fan when it comes to sideburns, hence being really happy right now that I read this while hubby wasn't home haha. Don't want him getting any ideas and knowing my luck he'd go for the way over the top ones.
