Well, there are firsts for everything.
This past November (which has been renamed Movember by many men), I embarked on a journey of self discovery, joy, anguish, woe, heartbreak and most of all, swag.
I let my natural overly-manly tendancies have their sway over my face and proceeded to produce a fine luminous coat of silky man-fur.
Basically, I grew an itchy caterpillar on my upper lip and let it have free reign as it pupated into a ....no, it did not turn into a butterfly unfortunately.
But, ok, enough teasing. I grew a 'Mo' as they say in Australia to benefit a good cause: to help increase men's awareness about their health, especially men's cancer related items.
Men are notorious at trying to act cool and not see a doctor ('real' men, that is...) but perhaps that is why there are so few 'real' men these days; maybe they died out when the original moustaches died out in the early 80's.
As shown in the talk below (which I highly encourage you to watch), Adam Garone helped bring this tradition to life based on a much healthier attitude towards charity: have fun while doing it.
Movember
Thus, I will try to participate each year in this manly ritual of caterpillar harvesting to help promote better health, better awareness and better facial hair.
This is what I suppose would happen if i go full beard....
Go ahead, tease away!
It comes off in a few days!
