Movember!!! by Justin

IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEEAARRR!!!! That's right, Movember is back!!! Fall is here, time to keep your upper lip warm with a beautiful and elegant mustache! I started growing in the rest of my goatee back in September. I normally have just the chin. Last year, I started growing Nov. 1st and I had to wait till the end of the month to finally have a really nice stache, only to have to shave it off for the end of the month. Now thanks to pregrowing and shaving off the chin bits, I have a spectacular handlebar mustache, that I will be making smaller every week of the month, leaving me with something similar to what Charlie Chaplin donned on his face oh so many years ago!!!



Movember is not only about looking bad ass, it's about spreading awareness about men's health issues. The most predominant being Prostate cancer. Which takes way too many lives, every day. I'm not about to get a flow chart going, or post some statistics or anything. But it's super serial. Mustache's have been given a bad rap over the last 12 years or so. It seem's that they are solely for Hockey players during playoff season and porn stars, in porno season. I think if we all look back at photo albums, our father's rocked some pretty sweet mustaches as a day to day look. I know for at least for me, whenever my dad, or my late Uncle Roy, when they were clean shaven it was difficult to recognize them!!! Obviously now, in my mid twenties, I don't find it hard to recognize who my father is, but I still pester him from time to time to grow it again, for me lol Have you ever seen Sam Elliott without his face snuggler? He is still very handsome, but I can't help but stare at the void under his nose! There's just an empty space where a mustache should be!!! It doesn't look right! It is something that definitely suits him, like other mustache enthusiasts, such as Tom Selleck and Burt Reynolds. These men are cinematic icons... as well as icons for epic bad assery! Can you imagine what Hulk Hogan would look like clean shaven? I don't even want to live in that world! Hell even Ben Affleck, who is one of people magazine's sexiest man of the year award winners, rocked a full on handlebar stache in Smokin' Aces.He looked fucking awesome as shit! He was also killed off in said film, but that is beside the point XD So come on my fellow Y chromosomers, get that stache growing, the ladies will thank you for it, your upper lip will thank you for it, and in December when you look back at the previous month you will not regret it!!! -Justin
