Derek Zappa

Derek’s doing the whole Tache Back thing, his target style being “Frank Zappa Jr“.  That’s a classic ‘tache and monster soul chip thing Frank’s got going on.  Question is, is Derek’s chin a match for the poly-rhythmic prog rock prickliness that’ll be unleashed?  He needs your cash to help him (and cancer research) find out.

I’ve always thought it was a brilliant ‘tache style. Thing is, doing this has prompted me to get into FZ’s music and I’m loving it!

Apparently the Zappa ‘tache is copyrighted. Does this mean my face will be breaking the law if I get it too accurate?

What the… ? I would say you’re kidding, but this article in the Spiegel says, “the event, also sells merchandise complete with the unmistakable logo depicting Zappa’s unique facial hair, the moustache-soul patch combo. And that, says Gail Zappa, Frank’s widow and head of the Zappa Family Trust, violates the Zappa trademark.”

So yes, you will have your face sued off by Gail Zappa.

Awesome! I guess you could always claim to be Nightlife.

Gail also seems to have a potty mouth. Fab. My face is entirely not-for-profit, I’ll have you know.

On this week’s b3ta newsletter. Aptly.

Most apposite! I can’t believe the Zappa is a recognised beard type. I think the best I can hope for from his list is the Federation, as I sport facial hair wispier than a light mist on a summer’s morn.
On a different note, I thought the Hollywoodian was something else entirely.
