meom Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Makes you wonder what other creative use his beard has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donkeykong Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 (edited) Makes you wonder what other creative use his beard has. He doesn't even hold a candle to the showgirl in Top Girls A Go Go who produces remarkable works of art with a felt-tip marker pen rammed you-know-where. Her 'beard' has been well shaved off. Amazes crowds of Russians & Chinese every night! Does he have a work permit? . Edited February 1, 2006 by donkeykong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangkapiboy Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 It's an interesting gimmick he has painting with his beard. But I don't think it can make much of a good painting brush! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkkmadness Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 He was on the visa run bus with me a couple of weeks ago, very strange looking guy indeed. That answers the WP Question. Not really, still need to do visa runs with a work permit. Still doubt he has one though, good luck to him, nice gimmick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
