SkyMall Monday: Beard Cap
I've been a bit cranky in this space recently. I've railed against the Nuddle Blanket and the Ponchillow in the last few weeks. Many of you, I'm sure, have begun to worry that I've lost my zest for SkyMall. Rest assured that I remain optimistic about our favorite in-flight catalog and that there are still countless products that leave me engorged with excitement. In fact, SkyMall Monday headquarters is abuzz over this week's featured invention. As you might know, I typically sport a beard. I'm a bit of a follicle aficionado and, as such, appreciate all things whisker-related. I understand, however, that not everyone can grow out their facial hair. Women, pre-pubescent boys and many Asians lack the ability to cultivate a thick, luxurious face garden. Thankfully, there is now an alternative. As winter clutches us in her icy grip, stay warm and sport the chin mane of your dreams with the Beard Cap.Think that a cap with a beard is a waste of fabric? Believe that there are better ways to protect your face from the cold? Well, while you figure out how to put on a balaclava, we'll be reading the product description:
It is what is says it is. Isn't that the mark of any good beard - real or otherwise? Beards lack pretense. They're the working man's facial hair. They're not for everyone (one size fits "most" but not all) but everyone is for them. Think about it.Gray and black cap has attached mustache and beard.
1 size fits most adults.
Don't let your lack of testosterone or ethnic makeup keep you from sporting the beard that you so richly deserve. Ignore the aspersions cast by those who would rather see you "clean shaven." There is nothing dirty about beards (except for when you cupcakes and chili dogs) and you have every right to grow or buy your own. Even if the one you buy makes you look like an atomic ginger.

This year I got the best deals ever on the gifts I bought. I got everything from this amazing penny auction site, ( http://tinyurl.com/TopBargains ) I didn't have to waste any time on lines at a mall, I didn't have to pay for shipping, I didn't have to pay for gas to go shopping, and I got prices so low that you wouldn't believe them. I got my son an 16GB iPad for less than $100, my husband a $250 gift card for Home Depot for $63, and in general got better gifts for everyone than I could ordinarily afford. I'll never pay retail again when I can easily save over 50% from my penny auction site.

Better check on availability before you get your hopes up.....I placed an order with SkyMall for Christmas, was informed yesterday that the item is no longer manufactured. OOPS!

It's not weird. It's fun. My teenagers would love wearing that when they go sledding.

Have you ever seen a man's beard that is full of ice and snot during a cold spell? That is gross. This is a great idea.

Cheap copy of the original Beardo from beardowear.ca

Your so-called "invention" is infringing several design patents from beardowear.com ... I wonder where you got this brilliant idea? Hmmm I smell a lawsuit!

John...it is not my or Gadling's invention nor do I make any claims in this post stating that it is my or Gadling's invention. This post is about a product that is available in the SkyMall catalog and other online retailers.
