ANDROGYNE-ELECT

This one's for my friend, you know who you are, who loves the androgyne, who needs to shave more than her husband does. I'm not averse to smoothness, however I like a little scratch where I itch. Those lips though--we know what that's all about--purple!

"On Wednesday, Barack Obama addressed Bill Richardson's shaven beard, stating "It was a mistake for him to get rid of it. I thought that whole Western rugged look was really working for him....we're deeply disappointed with the loss."

But perhaps the disappointment was more personal than the president-elect let on. In a September 20, 2006 article in The Hill about how voters prefer politicians to be clean-shaven, Obama told reporter Betsy Rothstein "I can't grow facial hair... I get whiskers."
