"I love mustaches" tee shirt - does this suggest oral sex or am I being paranoid?

11:18 here. I think you guys are a little paranoid. Mustaches are awesome. It's an acknowledged fact.

How else would one explain the career of Tom Selleck?

No one under 35 has ever gotten oral sex from anybody with a moustache. It's a t shirt about hipsters. Moustaches are very hipster these days.

Ah, no-- it is about oral sex. Specifically a girl sitting on a guys face while he give her oral sex.

If it were specifically about oral sex it would say mustache RIDES. PP is right it's very hipster to embrace crap like that.

It Means I am Ugly and Stupid...It has two sides to rep both...Ugly and Stupid... I love being Ugly and Stupid!!!! These kids today smoking on baby powder!!!!

It is a tween thing, they are everywhere even in Charlottesville where a friend lives with her tween.I have NO IDEA what it means but I doubt the schools would allow the selling of mustache erasers etc. at book fairs if it were to imply oral anything?

Looks like the Natty Boh stache!

OP, it's cute BUT probably going to get the boys to heckle your daughter due to the well known innuendo.

I'd say no to the shirt.

Mustaches are popular for whatever reason. I teach dance and have gotten texts from my older girls that day "I mustache you a question." It's also a drinking game to cut out mustaches, tape them to your tv, and drink anytime they line up with an actors mouth. Claire's uses to have a whole collection of mustache jewelry...mustache earrings, rubber bracelets, necklaces, etc.

Your daughters shirt is fine!

Haha well known innuendo? I am 26 and never called that a mustache ride because kids don't have mustaches these days! The Tweens and teens I work with have learned things like "the square root of 69 is ate something" thanks to Rihanna. They don't know what "eating carpet" or "carpet munching" is either.

The very fact that people are debating whether there is more than one interpretation to the tee shirts would be enough for me to not put it on my tween in public. Fwiw I see both sides. Maybe as a sleep shirt in the house, but not outside. But I'm also the most uncool, pearl wearing mom inside the beltway.

"Justice" (used to be Limited Too) also has a bunch of mustache jewelry. My DD (age 8) loves the mustache necklace she got there. Katy Perry (and I'm sure others) have also been playing around with mustaches. I'm someone can always find something sexual about attire but that doesn't mean most people do.

I wouldn't let my kids wear it. But I do agree with the posters who suggest it's more of a hipster fad thing than an oral sex reference.

Yep! Check out thinkgeek.com, urbanoutfitters, probably even forever 21 and you'll see evidence of this- moustaches are cool at the moment. No innuendoes implied.

Katy Perry isn't a role model I'd want my daughter idolizing.

Even if it isn't perceived as an oral sex joke, a tween wearing a shirt expressing affection for a type of male is inappropriate. I'd get rid of it, just because of how it could be perceived.
