Small furry creatures

We can't seem to get enough of Jason Giambi's mustache.

Even the Yankees, who ban facial hair below the lips, had fun with it Wednesday, when they had an impromptu promotion and gave out 20,000 replica mustaches to fans at Yankee Stadium.

"It's kind of the ultimate compliment," Giambi told The New York Times.

Then ESPN's First Take yesterday brought on Aaron Perlut of the American Mustache Institute, which was strongly backing Giambi to win the fans' vote and earn the American League's final All-Star spot.

"We see Jason as that cult hero that can really help usher the mustache back into prominence," Perlut, who has worn mustaches on-and-off since he was 7, said with a straight face.

But Giambi didn't get the All-Star nod last night. The fans went with Tampa Bay's Evan Longoria in the AL and Milwaukee's Corey Hart in the NL.



Dallasite kicked off 'Shear Genius'

Dallas stylist Matthew Tully was kicked off Shear Genius on Episode 3, but fellow North Texan Daniel Lewis of Green Peridot is still around, ending up somewhere in the middle on the challenges.

Matthew's demise was due to a poor styling job on a girl who insisted her hair wouldn't curl, but he tried to make it do so anyway. He kept mentioning his wife on the show, who works at his Dallas salon, so at least he has that and his business to go back to.



Cycle in for some free Chipotle

Plano Cycling is encouraging people to "celebrate Le Tour with Le Burrito," offering free lunch from Chipotle every Saturday at noon during the Tour de France. That's three more Saturdays to get your burrito fix before the riders make their way down the Champs Elysees.
