Facial Hair Famosos: After Erik created two goos in a row out of celebrities who happened to have distinctive beards, he asked if he could turn it into an entire theme. Scott scheduled it for "Movember," the annual event where men grow facial hair to raise awareness of men's health issues. These seven goos are Erik's only creations for the Fall 2019 season, but look for a bonus beard in December.
