La Moustache Merveilleuse at the Hotel Foster twirls it tightly

The Hotel Foster bar saw a packed house for the first event of its kind in a mighty partnership between Stag Barbershop (from Milwaukee’s southern edge of Bay View) and this new entrant on the North Avenue scene (near the heart of Milwaukee’s East Side). Proceeds went to the American Diabetes Association, with sponsoring support and prizes from Great Lakes Distillery, The Brass Rooster, Old Milwaukee, Pabst and Lakefront Brewery.

Men from far and wide were invited to showcase their prized upper lip folicular stylings.  “La Moustache Merveilleuse” — the Marvelous Mustache — certainly lived up to the hype, with a cavalcade of young studs styled by haberdashers from the Brass Rooster to highlight their facial hair.

The night was highlighted by Stag proprietor Jess Stern, emcee Jon Adler from FM 102.1, photographer Jessica Kaminski, and musical acts Hugh Bob and The Hustle‚ Brett Detar and DJ Tom Julio.
