No.1 spot. Kanye West's latest internship and praise of the gay lifestyle has done him the world of good - West proved he is 'the shit' taking out No.5. The list also featured our favourite indie star Jason Schwartzman who scraped in at No.9

It Was Only a Matter of Time... the Moustache Mask

A few years back pirates were all the rage - no doubt thanks to Johnny Depp and 'Talk Like a Pirate Day'. Penguins soon found stardom... we'll blame it on Happy Feet. Ice Cream soon took centre stage thanks to artists like Muscles and labels like Vanguard. Then last year things got even funnier when the moustache reigned as the king of cool.

People tattooed them on their fingers, girls drew on fake ones and ponytails doubled as them in indie-style photos.

So it comes as no surprise that American Apparel has released the Moustache Mask - this winter's ultimate fashion accessory.

High Five

For Color Me Katie's (blog) Improv Everywhere mission, their friend Rob gave out over 2,000 high fives by standing next to a subway escalator during the morning rush.

Five additional people spread out along the adjacent stairs, holding signs to prepare commuters for high five fun!
