Don’t Leave A Mustache Behind

”I’ve never grown a mustache before, I’m probably going to look ridiculous – but Movember is a great campaign and I’m proud to be involved.”       – Joe Hart

Right, we all know it’s that month of the year, November, year-round mustache-wearers. For Movember, mustaches should be taken at face value.

Movember, moustache’s ”mo” and ”November”, immediately following Halloween should be wonderful. With the costumes packed up, the leaves lettering the ground, and the chill growing, November features the slow days of the fall that roll into the mad dash of the holiday season. There are pumpkin spice lattes, cashmere throws and, if you’re lucky, a fire in the fireplace to make you nice and cozy. November is a dream — unless you have mustache. B1iFkF7IcAEoHjj

Movember is a charitable event where men grow mustaches for the month of November to raise awareness and hopefully money for male cancers, like prostate cancer. It is like the Ice Bucket Challenge for the face, except not nearly as many celebrities do it and certainly not Anna Wintour. Movember is also a scourge-well, at least for those who are proud Mustached Americans the whole year round. B1hMcU-CcAEA3T5

It started already, and raising money for cancer is great, but there is something about Movember that just feeds into the worst aspects of how mustaches are regarded. A beard wouldn’t suffice because they are now so mainstream and connected with virility as to prove indistinguishable, but mustaches, on the other hand, are a punch line. Movember says, ”Look at me, I have a mustache. Aren’t I wacky!”

But I want to say that all mustaches do not look alike.

In Movember, so many guys think they are cute and clever for 30 days while they get a little fuzziness around the philtrum. But they don’t wear them to look good or express themselves, but to try to look cool by looking bad and maybe to push more jars of our hipster artisanal aioli spread.

djq-self-portrait-12302013bwMovember’s not just for men. Women who support men’s health, known as Mo Sistas, are an important part of Movember’s success, although they don’t grow a Mo. They rally the men in their lives to join the movement, grow moustaches and have important conversations about men’s health.

Everyone can participate the Movember and we also expect to receive some handsome photos with sexy mustaches.  Men’ health matters!!!
