Beard Alarm – Gilbert & George 2016 at White Cube .. it’s okay you missed it.. but beards .. I’ve never had a full blown beard though I could grow one in a week I reckon .. it would be a salt and pepper beard .. if I kept it trimmed (as with all body hair) I might look distinguished or maybe just older if that’s possible .. the only beards I really liked were those toys.. a picture of a bald and shaved man in a package that contains iron filings then you use a magnet to put the filings on his head as hair beard moustache etc.. I remember it being called ‘Willy Whiskas’ or something similar.
