Tash-ra




So I have recently re-found my love for watching cartoons. At the moment that means I have been watching rather a lot of 'thundercats' and 'she-ra'. I have found that my lusting after 'the man with facial hair' crosses over into the realm of the cartoon world as well as the real world.

I find myself unable to stop myself having a crush on any character that that sports either a beard or a moustache. Thus this week I found myself, somewhat un-naturally, gravitating towards the tash tastic charm of 'Bow' from 'she-ra'.

When we are first introduced to 'Bow' he is sitting in a disguise in the middle of a bar in a small village that is being terrorised by the hordes troopers. He quietly observes as the Horde enter and start to antagonise the local villagers. He-man who has entered Etheria in search of She-ra quickly comes to the aid of the villagers and Bow then comes to the aid of He-man introducing himself as being part of the great rebellion.

As soon as this 'man' takes off his caped disguise I was instantly mesmerised by this cartoon man. I am not afraid to say that it is more than likely that the reason I felt this instant spark was because he is sporting a rather fetching moustache.

The rest of Etheria of course is blown over by Prince Adam/ He-man, more full them. For me the true eye candy of Etheria had to be without a doubt Bow. This fighter of the rebellion running Etheria with his manly facial hair single handedly taking down the horde with no powers, unlike the females that he is surrounded by, just his sheer manliness.


I instantly want to follow him in his rebellion and quickly see why the rest of the team are all females. It would seem that they have gravitated towards him and join the rebellion, in my opinion, because this gentle man/ warrior has extended an invitation to them and without realising it themselves it is because they have been drawn towards the gentle charms of the moustache.

Who could refuse the gentlemanly charms of a gentleman disguised as a warrior. As apart from when he is fighting he is a true gentleman to all he encounters, a true ambassador of the moustache. He is gracious and kind to He-man as well as the ladies of Etheria. His moustache seems to give him confidence in which he seems to be un threatened by all who he comes in contact with. His moustache defines his character, it is the very essence of him. Giving him both the qualities of a gentleman and a manly warrior.

Bow you are Bow Tastic and I have to say you leave me a little disappointed that you are not a real tash wearing man, but I can fantasise about you nonetheless and fantasise I will.
