The elusive pictures

[kigs]

The deed is done.
I've shaved my entire beard.

Rumors of my beardless appearance have spread far and wide.
But, for the strong of heart,

Watch as I shave seven years worth of appearance off of my face.




If you look closely, you'd notice that the second to last one is a Hitler mustache. I couldn't help myself.

Feeling rather like a Marx brother, I proceeded to take the following two pictures of unadulterated goofiness. Go Go Gadget Photoshop!





Meg's Bathroom was extremely hot, so I get progressively sweaty and icky in those last couple pictures.

That made an interesting facial study on how facial hair affects apparent facial structure and appearance.

Which one do you like the most?
I was getting a bit tired of my full beard, but I don't know how I feel about being entirely clean shaven.

PS:
100+ replies. Christ, people. My beard isn't THAT interesting. XD

wow..
I think I like you with all your facial hair the best. :3 #3 is also cool.

you look like me with no facial hair at all!

[kigeni.livejournal.com]

I do not look like you. :-p

Though, pac has teased me about my "woman ass" on several occassions.

[areitu.livejournal.com]

There is no Kigeni.

Only PACO.

The truth is revealed!

#5.

[stahi.livejournal.com]

You just had to take a snapshot of Hitler-stache, didn't you?

Re: #5.

[kigeni.livejournal.com]

How could I possibly resist?

I seriously debated showing up to Califur WITH IT.

[pshaw-raven.livejournal.com]

I'm a tad biased. I like clean-shaven guys. But the Marx Bros. pics make me giggle.

[kigeni.livejournal.com]

I asked for an opinion. Bias counts as an opinion :-p

[armaina.livejournal.com]

wow, you look so different without the beard! o_o
I think the goatee looks good..
Mustash.. no.. heh.

hehe those last two pictures are fun though ^^

[kigeni.livejournal.com]

My face shapeshifts. True story.

[kiohl.livejournal.com]

:O

I personally like #3, but I also like the very last pic (with you and the hat, of course). XD

[kigeni.livejournal.com]

I need to try and get a pic of me dressed normally without facial hair.

[thornwolf.livejournal.com]

You should have left it at the Hitler moustache.

[kigeni.livejournal.com]

How did I know that you would say that?

I AM the history of classic rock! *Flex*

[buttfacemakani.livejournal.com]

I still like the Sayid beard, but I must say clean shaven is quite handsome as well :o and lmfao @ the groucho.

[kigeni.livejournal.com]

I'm seriously considering dressing as Sayid for halloween, but I don't think anyone will get it. :(

[wiltekirra.livejournal.com]

Somehow, it seems that your nose mutates in every one of those pictures! Anyhow, thanks for doing that so extensively, this'll come in handy as reference!

[wiltekirra.livejournal.com]

And this is the first time ever that this icon is actually RELEVANT.

[reiji.livejournal.com]

OMG you look like a jorge now XD i like the goatee best!

[kigeni.livejournal.com]

Less facial hair = More Mexican?

[digitalis.livejournal.com]

Madness, MADNESS I say!
But looks rad both ways, and heck when you want to switch just wait a few weeks. XD

[kigeni.livejournal.com]

I actually STOPPED my philosophy class yesterday.

I came in late. The professor turned to comment, stoped mid-sentance, and just gasped. It was amazing. :)

[cass-rising.livejournal.com]

Now, Ms. Rising, I know this may be difficult, but can you point out the man who accosted you with tea-bags?

[kigeni.livejournal.com]

Out of (morbid) curiosity, how often are you accousted by tea bags-weilding ne'er-do-wells?

[selasphorus.livejournal.com]

I also like #3 best. :)

[kigeni.livejournal.com]

Perhaps I should make a pole?

[spazfox.livejournal.com]

Is that a biscotti?

[kigeni.livejournal.com]

YES!!

5 Kigs points to Spaz for acute perception!

[stokerbramwell.livejournal.com]

ARR, YE NEED YER BEARD TO BE A PROPER PIRATE.

[kigeni.livejournal.com]

Can I still be an improper pirate?

[kilojara.livejournal.com]

:| *brain explodes*

[kigeni.livejournal.com]

Just wait until you see me in person. *Cackles*

[painteddog.livejournal.com]

You look so much younger without it.

Josh did the same thing a few years ago (he's had his 'stache since he was 14 or so). You both look weird without facial hair! (not bad weird just different weird) XD

[kigeni.livejournal.com]

I estimate that I love about five years with the removal of my facial hair.

[mauricia.livejournal.com]

NUMERO TRES

Gives you a real piratey look :D

[kigeni.livejournal.com]

Pirates are in, apparently.

[hvincent.livejournal.com]

:(

i miss it. i'm used to the beardthing.

oh well. i suppose i'll have to get used to it.

i might be at anthrocon this year by the way..

[kigeni.livejournal.com]

Feel free to drop by and say hi.

Bob (iguanaartgirl's boyfriend and I are supposed to run a "$1 Bad Sketches" booth in the Artist Alley.

[lizbeast.livejournal.com]

Goatee = love forever. Cleanshaven is still hot, though :O Your nose pleases me.

[kigeni.livejournal.com]

I don't think I've ever have so many people comment on the nature of my nose!

I never really thought it was very pleasing. This is most peculiar.

[borderpilot.livejournal.com]

But you didn't tell us the FUN part. What you did with the hairs!

[kigeni.livejournal.com]

Meg wouldn't let me take a picture of her sink post-facial hair amputation. The sheer quantity of black hairs was awe inspiring.

[acrothdragon.livejournal.com]

Aww the manly beard is no more now the silky smooth Kigs saga begins.

What could of happen if Kigs grew more of Lethal weapons of the facial hair

I see you sporting the dagger beard hehee

[kigeni.livejournal.com]

The second one from right on the bottom row looks like it's made of sharp, pointy tentacles.

[corellian-ninja.livejournal.com]

you look like an entirely diffrent person without your facehair, but still just as cute. X3

WITH hair I like one or two best.. probably one, because I'm a sucker for those beards that connect with sideburns like abe lincon. XD

[kigeni.livejournal.com]

As opposed to without hair? o.0

[moltenglowstick.livejournal.com]

What an odd coincidence, 'cause I shaved my head day before yesterday. Big change from the MOUNTAIN of hair I had. :D

Never realised how much trouble hair actually is. I can only imagine the toils of having facial hair though. I bet you can't stop touching your face now, right? 'Cause I know I spent the whole day going "humdedum *rubs head* OMG WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL MY HAIR--oh yeah..."

[kigeni.livejournal.com]

YOU SHAVED YOUR HEAD?!?!?
