MO-VEMBER....
So there's this fundraiser that 's held every year in Australia that lets us guys be the daggy, white trash, unkept slovenly excuses for primates that we are. It's called "Mo-vember", and it's a fund raiser for prostate cancer research and also now male depression. The idea is this: start November clean shaven and grow your gnarliest moustache over the course of the month. You collect donations that go towards prostate cancer research and the organisation Beyond Blue which deals with treatment and education of male depression, especially in rural areas of Australia. The rule is that it must be a proper moustache that does not connect to either the sideburns, or under the chin.
It's a worthy cause, and a national "competition" as a "Mo Bro" is crowned the best tache in each major sponsorship area of Oz. I have several mates that are participating, so I figured I'd give it a go as moral support for those fighting the good fight. I'm always doing crazy things with my facial hair anyways, so this was a perfect excuse to cultivate a gnarly moustache that would make porn stars from the 70's and highway patrolmen the world over jealous. With more time, I'm sure I could come up with something infinitely better, but a month is a relatively short "growing season"
Before I show you the creation, I would like to express my gratitude to all of those who have donated to Mo-vember, and those who have given to any charity that goes towards promoting men's health. Men don't like to seek help or go to the doctor, and that culture needs to change. Without further adue, here is the gnarly mo...I call it the modified mutton chop with a half twist!!
