My friend Andrew has been sporting this completely ridiculous porn-star moustache all month, posting occasional pics of its progress on Facebook, and his girlfriend STILL hasn’t broken up with him over it. Finally I was like “Okay. I give up. Why are you doing this? And why is she allowing it?”
Apparently it is MOvember, you guys. In the month of November, dudes grow moustaches to raise funds and awareness for men’s health issues, specifically prostate and testicular cancer. I think that’s super awesome — as long as none of them are planning to make out with me. More details in this video:
We spend a lot of time talking about and raising awareness for women’s health issues on our sister site, Zelda Lily, and also to some extent here on Evil Beet, so I thought it was only fair to give Movember a mention, too. We need to save the nutsacks along with the titties!!! You can learn more about Movember here, and you can make a donation specifically to Andrew (come on, look at him — he’s earned it) on his “mospace” page (ahhhhh ha ha ha ha ha ha!) here.
That’s bullshit. The only facial hair month that I support is MANuary, where you shave at the beginning of the month and see how much you can grow by the end of it (which proves who is clearly the most manly person out of your group of friends).
It’s cool that this raises money, though.
A couple of years ago we had a competition at work during Movember. I went out and bought a particularly hirsute WWF figurine and had it made into a trophy with the plaque that read “MO-st Improved”. I’m not big on facial hair but the guy who won actually looked pretty gorgeous with a mo.
Movember is really big here in Australia. It’s great that it raises money for men’s health but I can’t wait until everyone shaves off their gross looking mustaches.
everyone knows its “beardvember”
no shave november
My boyfriend considers himself a “facial hair shape shift.” From mutton chops to soul patches, he LOVES them all. I’ve actually threatened our relationship a NUMBER of times because I don’t like when his hair attracts attention to his double chin, or he ends up looking like a molester off the FBI’s Most Wanted List… I tell him, “I AM JUST NOT ATTRACTED TO YOU WHEN YOU LOOK LIKE FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE!” And all he does is laugh. :(
But I promised that ONLY THIS ONCE, I wouldn’t say a single word when he told me he was growing a “Franz-Joseph” for charity. (http://itodyaso.files.wordpress.com/2008/02/beards.png)
