The International World Beard and Moustache Championships are underway in the little village of Leogang in Austria. More than 350 contestants from 20 countries are there to vy for an international placing.

Sexual gratuity reigns supreme in the music video world. Some would say that its all to just grab attention as women show flesh for publicity. But Rose McGowan, the latest woman to go naked in a clip says that there’s more to it… “I believe in civil disruption,” she told online magazine Nowness.

A new study by scientists at Queens University Belfast studied these traits anew and found that they don’t matter on their own but how well the features of attractiveness fit together.
