The Mustachio Bashio and the End of Movember

Movember +1

Last night my Movember team celebrated a month of successful moustache growing at the NYC Movember Gala Party, which was essentially a bizarre costume-cocktail party MC’ed by ... Randy Jones, also known as the cowboy from the Village People.

Racing to drink themselves unconscious were hundreds of newly moustachio’d men and their supporters. These whiskered faces hid normal, clean-cut guys who have nothing to do with the porn industry, and whose only folly was to band together for the sake of men’s health.

While some ‘staches were true pieces of art - well-preened and beautifully sculptured creations that Michelangelo himself would be proud to have chiseled – most looked quite horrible.

It can’t be denied that the moustache instills new confidence in its wearer. So I’m sure there are many who, at this moment, are saying to themselves, “This bad boy doesn’t look too bad. Maybe I’ll keep it til Christmas.” Fortunately, I do not count myself among their delusional ranks. I have a date with my Gillette Mach III.

Many thanks to all who donated.
