My Hairy Valentine 2025 launches with dual focus
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has launched its annual search for My Hairy Valentine ahead of Valentine’s Day on 14th February.
In 2025 it again includes two categories:
1 Beards that are sexy, allowing for the reality that this is in the eye of the beholder
2 Beards that are loved because they add a reassuring presence to public life and should be celebrated.
There will be a round covering each category with the winners of both contests sharing the title in 2025
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, we know that not all beards are sexy, think Jonathan Gullis, but at Valentine’s each year we celebrate those that are.
Voting for Beards that are ‘sexy’ is now open. Vote is pinned @kmflett. Because of issues with that site votes can also be made by responding to this post
