Shaving Time

As shown by the above photo, taken just moments ago, I have not been shaving of late. One might even say, I've been growing a beard. It's been two month since I last dragged a sharp metal blade over my face. I went to hot yoga this afternoon. It was hot in there. Really hot. Do you see where I'm going with this? It's time to shave.

AKA: Moustache May Redux.

The Merry Month of May has come and gone again. You may recall two years back I participated in Moustache May at work. Well, we did it again this year. On the last working day of the month there was an awards ceremony. I won a prize.

The moustache:

The Category/Award:


I'm not sure what that means, but everyone seems to think it's dirty.

The prize:

The reaction:

"Congratulations! Your efforts paid off...nice work. As for the prize: use it."

It's June now so I probably should shave it off, but I'm just not sure. I saw a poster for a concert in two weeks that I get in at a reduced rate if I'm moustached...

Movember 2-Claudio Grows a Moustache

I don't know if it had anything to do with me writing about Movember, but Claudio Lopez, in spite of being follicly challenged in the facial hair department, has taken up the gauntlet and is growing a moustache to raise money for prostate and testicular cancer research at Princess Margaret Hospital throughout November. So if you see him this month with a caterpillar on his upper lip, slip him a twenty. Now, I have no idea what a moustache on Claudio will look like, what type of moustache he intends to grow, nor what type of moustache he is even capable of growing. But I'm hoping it ends up looking a little something like this:


Good work, muchacho!

Movember

May used to be my favourite month because I got to celebrate Moustache May. But now November is my favourite month. Because it's Movember and it starts tomorrow. That means if I choose to, I can grow a moustache to raise awareness and money for men's health issues such as prostate and testicular cancers and male depression. And Donna, you can't say anything about it because it's for a good cause. So let the growing begin. Now, which moustache shall I grow?

Hairy Upper Lips Part 2

As I wrote earlier, it was Moustache May at work. It was truly a celebration of the moustache in all its varied and splendourous manifestations. We had Handle Bars, Fu Manchus, Cops, Walruses, Zapatas, Pirates, Pencil Lines, and one guy was even brave (read: crazy) enough to sport the Hitler/Chaplin for a few days. Here's what I wore throughout the month. I like to call it The Devolution Of A Moustache (A Drama In 5 Parts):


And that was that. Those of you who have been avoiding me, even leaving town so as not to have to see my moustache, I'm clean shaven now. You can call again. Until next May...

Hairy Upper Lips

I'm not sure who came up with the idea, but this month at work has been declared "Moustache May." I guess that means I have to grow a moustache.

It's not every day that a guy gets to use the phrase: "My moustache..."
But today is one of those days.
