    My dearest, sweetest, hottest dudes of the world: WHERE DID YOU ALL GO? Where are your beautiful, chiseled faces?! Where are those jawlines and cheekbones that make cut glass look soft? Is that you, Jon Hamm, hiding behind that foot-deep beard? And Chris Evans, when did you steal my dad’s wedding mustache?

    Come back, my boys; I miss you fiercely. And though I support your right to grow your hair on your face like a Chia Pet, I also humbly request that you shave off these 25 facial disguises immediately. (Oh, and call your mom—she misses seeing your face, too).
