It´s Shadoween, Men!

Tonight's the night to bring out your razors or shavers to remove all your facial hair and make your face as smooth as a baby's ass in preparation for taking part in Movember.

The Movember movement has the ambition to contribute to improving the lives of men around the world.

To achieve this, men grow mustaches during Movember (the month formerly known as November) to spark conversation and raise funds for prostate cancer, testicular cancer and mental health problems. 

We see success as moving the dial on progress towards:

• Reduced mortality from prostate, testicular cancer and men’s suicide 
• Men living with prostate or testicular cancer being physically and mentally well
• Men and boys understanding how to be mentally healthy and taking action when they experience mental health problems
• Men and boys with mental health problems not being discriminated against

Movember Photo Shoot

I got a request relayed through my friend Kahvy Sands that I must share with you.

All you guys out there! Kimly is looking for you!

MOVEMBER is an annual, month-long event involving the growing of moustaches during the month of November to raise awareness of prostate cancer and other male cancers.  I am looking for 20 men, who want to participate in the Kimly Crystal Visions Movember photoshoot. Please spread the word and let Kimly Crystal know if you're interested. Participation is Free of charge, no nudity, Mustache can be photoshopped in if you don't have one.

So what are you waiting for men? 

I am going to contact Kimly a.s.a.p. and you should too. Of course, unlike some of you young men, I will not need to have a mustache photoshopped in.

So you will know what it will look like, here is an example of Kimly's shoot for Breast Cancer Awareness last month. I would say that it looks like we get to take our shirts off...

How To Kill a Mustache

(Tipped by Guyke Lundquist)

Mustache - Mouth Brow - Lip Rug - Flavor Savor - Soup Strainer - Face Caterpillar - Lip Blanket - Cookie Duster - Booger Broom - Dirt Squirrel - Nose Neighbor

The deed is done, my lip is yet again smooth as a baby´s ass and liberated, until next Movember...

The Dead Hamster

As some of you may remember I have been growing a mustache during the month of Movember. Well, above you see a picture of the dead hamster I have on my upper lip at the moment.

Although some kind people tell me that the mustache suits me I am so looking forward to tomorrow, when I can shave it off with good conscience. I have changed the blade in my razor and gotten a new shaving cream in preparation for the wonderful event.

Shadoween

Today is the last day before the monthlong celebration of Movember, we call it "shadoween"

On this day we prepare ourselves for the coming month by shaving the complete mustache region, including the entire upper lip and the handlebar zones. All must be completely shaved.

During the next month those of us taking part will let the mustaches grow and only those. For the entire duration of Movember (the months that by lesser men and by women is called November), no hair is allowed to grow in the goatee zone - being any facial area below the bottom lip. Nor is there to be any joining of the mustache to sideburns.

Shaving Day

I have been taking part in "Movember" which is an annual, month-long event involving the growing of mustaches during the month of November.

The aim of Movember is to raise awareness and funds for men's health issues, such as prostate or testicular cancer and depression. By encouraging men to go to the doctor, Movember also wishes to increase early cancer detection, diagnosis and effective treatments, and ultimately reduce the number of preventable deaths.

Some say the mustache suits me, others say it makes me look older, younger or more distinguished. I don´t care what they say because I totally dislike it, so tonight it is coming off.

To me it looks - and feels - like I have a blond dead mouse covering my upper lip, disgusting!

Movember

Movember is an annual, month-long event involving the growing of mustaches during the month of November. The event was conceived in 1999 by a group of Australian men from Adelaide.

Since 2004, the Movember Foundation charity has run Movember events to raise awareness and funds for men's health issues, such as prostate or testicular cancer and depression.

Rules
1. On "Shadowe'en" (October 31), the complete moustache region, including the entire upper lip and handlebar zones, must be completely shaved.
2. For the entire duration of Movember [November 1–30], no hair shall be allowed to grow in the goatee zone (any facial area below the bottom lip).
3. There is to be no joining of the moustache to sideburns.

So start growing them mo´s now, boys and girls, it´s for a good cause!

I don´t mind facial hair on other men, but I really. really hate it on myself, so this will be a big sacrifice. My facial hair is a light ratty blond like the rest of my hair. The first couple of days I will just look unshaven in a disgusting sort of way, after that the scratching and itching will start...
