As if You Needed Another Reason for a Holiday ‘Stache: Movember
So, you missed your opportunity to grow your ticket into St. Louis’s “Stache Bash;” Your better part wont let you sport facial hair for 3 months; or, you just need to put that magnificent asset to work, here is another reason to nurture that holiday ‘stache. ‘Movemeber’ an English speaking movement across that world that translates mustaches into charitable donations and partying. Men of ‘Movemeber’ are encouraged to grow the best 1 month mustache possible to raise funds and awareness for mens’ health (specifically cancer) and to compete in (and enjoy) one of the end of the month super gala held around the world. Best mustache earns “Man of Movember” title and anyone who supports the Live Strong foundation is obviously already a winner (I mean seriously, Lance started it, Lance wins).
This is only pseudo travel related. If you weren’t interested in traveling to St. Louis, you may not be interested in the ‘Movember’ gala, but I thought it was worth mentioning because a) it promoted the growth of mustaches (the greatest things on the planet) and because b) the galas, held at multiple international locations, offered travel destinations of their own in a much larger and potentially more accessible array of places. Anyone who has yet to plan an entire trip around a party is missing out. So, shave the face, pull out the sweaters, and proudly flaunt your masterpiece in progress as you benefit charity in the month of November; you manly men you. Remember, the most interesting man in the world sported facial hair, so should you.

The “Xmas 2009” ‘stache continues to grow.

Hobnobbing with the Elite
December is quickly approaching and that means preparations are beginning to be made: gifts are gotten, the house is decorated, Christmas DVDs are brought out, David Sedaris’ holiday classic “Holidays on Ice” is dusted off and placed bedside, a sweater is procured, and facial hair is grown. Yes, it truly is the most wonderful time of the year.
Next year, take the holidays to another level. Adopt my perfected routine and start growing your Christmas ‘stache in October. Thanks to the American Mustache Institute, aficionados of life have a reason to start the holiday season with Halloween, not Thanksgiving. Every year, St. Louis hosts a party for the elite- the Mustache Bash- at Lumiere Place casino. So next year, forget your neighbor’s “costume party” or a haunted hey ride and head to the Bash, facial hair at the ready and have a blast knowing that you will wake up the next day feeling great to have gotten a jump on your holidays stache.
Yours truly is featured circa 1:40 in the commemorate video for the 1st Annual Mustache Bash, enjoy. I look forward to posting posting some holiday video that features a much improved and far more dashing crumb catcher, but until then, rejoice in the knowledge that it’s growing. It’s growing.
