Just in case you haven’t heard – and I had not - this is the month of Movember. It’s a time for men to grow moustaches and to raise world-wide awareness of men’s health issues.
If you’re feeling smug because you already sport a fine handlebar or Fu Manchu, don’t be. Rules of the competition say all men should start clean shaven on November 1st, and grow their ‘stache for a month.
Originally an Australian idea, Movember is now truly world wide. According to their website, moustaches are cropping up all over – places like Big Ben in London, the New York Stock Exchange, and on the front of Qantas airliners.
In addition to raising money for organizations like Livestrong and the Prostate Cancer Foundation, the Movember movement hosts about a dozen parties around the US. There’s one in Austin on November 30 – it starts at 8 p.m. at Emo’s on East Riverside Drive.
