Wow! Is it already November.... I mean Movember?

As you may be well aware it is November now, however; you may not be aware that it is actually Movember, and that means, walking around Australia you might think you stepped back in time to the 70's. For those of you that are confused my by misspelling of the month November, let me explain. November is the month, and in Australia it is a month where they try to raise money for men's health research and bring awareness to men's health issues. They do this by having men raise money by collecting pledges for them to grow a moustache in the month of November. Hence: moustache+November=Movember

This month has many consequences:
1. With the combination of Australia's male style of tight pants and low cut shirts and the addition of the moustache= The 70's.
2. Guys decide to grow the most appalling shapes of moustaches, just because they would not otherwise-ie-handle bar, mini, extra long....
3. Some guys who are too young sport patchy and pathetic moustaches.
4. I keep thinking Burt Reynolds is walking around everywhere.

I guess that I am just lucky in the fact that James was too busy to collect pledges and therefore, he is still moustachless.

  1. Guess what I learned!! I HATE Movember and I didn't understand why it would be called that. I do not think Moustache and November = Movember. Then on the radio someone said that Movember originated there in Australia and they call them Mo's and that's why it's Movember. I thought of you!
    I HATE moustaches....soooooo much
