Beard Art Instagram: The Gay Beards Decorate Facial Hair With Glitter, Flowers And Food

To beard or not to beard - not since the dawn of the Brazilian has hair been such a headline subject, and no one at all can seem to agree on whether they're in or out of fashion.

But with over 32,000 Instagram followers, Portland-based Brian DeLaurenti and Johnathan Dahl aka The Gay Beards are making their case for the lumberjack look.

The two best friends have been decorating their facial hair and posting the results since last year, and in the process showed us all the amazing things beards can be used for.

For a hands-free way to carry a bouquet...

Or just to help incorporate those ubiquitous summer florals...

For making sure you never go unnoticed...

Seriously....

For celebrating your birthday in the best way...

And Christmas...

And the Fourth of July...

For making an important political statement...

Or just ensuring you're well hydrated...

But maybe don't try this one at home...
