First Monday in Movember |
It's the first of four Mondays in Movember and I offer this picture and my comments about the current state of my Movember Stache.
First of all, and most importantly, this moustache growing thing is for charity--to help raise awareness about men's health issues.
So with that being said, last year's effort was a fine, neatly-trimmed military standard moustache that raised a very admirable amount of awareness in the form of donations from friends and in conversations with curious co-workers.
All good, but when I went to the Movember Parte, that grand and glorious celebration of all things MO at the Rock n Roll Hotel in DC, I felt my moustache was just not MO enough. It lacked a certain finesse. I mean, I saw guys with some pretty elaborate moustaches, and yeah, I was jealous.
So this year, I am going BIG. I am going to make a statement about MO and mojo. I want to promote freedom from fear through facial follicles. I'm talking about the Audacity of BADASSITY.
Looking good Dave! By the end of the month, you will be one of Garabaldi's 1000 - like the guy in the photo!!!
ReplyDeleteYes! That's my goal and ambition, Angelo. The thing is, I have no idea how to do the curls. Ha! Since the age of 18, I have only been to military barbers. I feel my grooming skills could use some work if I am going to rock the curly handlebar 'stache and forked soul patch at the Movember Parte. I wonder what kind of moustache wax that brigadier used? ROTC Joe was a master of the burr cut, but I bet he didn't get many questions about taming a wild moustache!

ReplyDeleteHe might have used olive oil too - but certainly seems like wax is in order. What did Rollie Fingers use? That should be googleable!
ReplyDeleteQ: What do you use?
DeleteA: Just mustache wax. Pinaud Clubman Moustache Wax. It takes about 15 seconds. And I’m done. If it took any longer than that, I’d shave it off [laughs].
