And the Best Beard Award for Beerdfest 2013 goes to...

This is Michael O'Brien and his winning moves at Beerdfest last night... I am sure it took everyone by surprise that he beat the HUGE length brought by our No.2 Runner-up Michael Legge but you see there was just one point in it and Crowd Pleaser was part of the make-up on the score sheet... this cheeky little tinker took to our catwalk and then posed for a #selfie!!! Priceless! And the extra point to take the title for this year... so remember boys, size ISN'T everything after all ;)

And a special video acceptance speech from Brian Blessed too? Oh me oh my as the cool kids say around here ;) What a gent to accept his Lifetime Achievement Award in such great spirits... (if I can figure out how to share this I will do asap! haha #techphobe)

Thanks to all who came along to compete, to watch, to help make it go so smoothly! I for one am exhausted but thankyou thankyou thankyou for such an awesome night, I may have recovered just in time to do it all again next winter ;)

Grapes Find

This is John from Bootle

He was hesitant to let me pap this beard because he says usually the sides are trimmed right down so tis more of an epic goatee style.. but here it is as is, he says it takes him around 6 months and he's been beardy for as long as he can remember...

The Grapes on Roscoe St is not only one of the finest drinking holes in Liverpuddle,

 but a rich seam of great beards and general facial furriness!

Premier Beardy Opinion

This is me with a faux moustache posing for the photographer for the local rag #silliness

The Liverpool Echo contacted me after hearing about The Liverbeards and ran this piece about my 'abnormal love of beards' !

Abnormal in whose opinion please? haha never trust a journalist!

I defo never said half the stuff they creatively put in quotations but I always knew it was gonna be a stitch up, why else feature me at all... 

Having said that tis fun being in the local paper regardless, imagine being the go-to girl for beardy opinion, that's a #win people haha

The Liverbeards

These are The Liverbeards 

A small sociable gathering of bearded ones and beardy appreciators 

who meet in The Baltic Fleet once a month 

The group was a spin-off from my Beerdfest, 

another of which is coming in November stay tuned...

Lovely chaps :)

Norwegian Jungle

This is Eric from Norway... 

I met him at Studio2 on Parr St during the Korean Rock party at Liverpool Sound City... 

He told me he was from the only Norwegian jungle! 

I know nothing of Norway and it's forestry 

but I DO know that this is one of the most EPIC beards I have ever had the pleasure to meet 

and together with his long blonde hair quite the winning Viking look! 

Epic Eric was a little tipsy, but I hope this picture does the greatness of his beard justice!

You Can Run...

This fine bearded fellow tried to escape me! haha 

He didn't give me his name once I caught up with him outside Tavern on the Green 

but did give good face I think you'll agree...

You can run fellas, but you cannot hide from the beardy blogger ;)
