brotherly love

On  a lighter note there is a series of photos making the rounds on the webs; charming idea of a couple of brothers reenacting pictures from their childhood and youth. Both are now adults.
A lovely idea as it goes but if you scrutinize it a little closer there are flaws.  As I said these guys are now mature young men portraying their much younger and much less inhibited selves.  
I cannot but note that they, the guys of today, have felt that they must sport big and macho beards for no reason that I can see other than that many of the poses of the much younger guys of yesteryear were loving and cuddly and very intimate.
What better way to shush any nasty thoughts about the masculinity of these guys but for them to sport big and wild beards when taking the poses of the loving children they once were.
Cynical ?   You bet.
