Men! Gather your face crawlers, your handle bars and your soup strainers – Movember is almost upon us! For an entire month razors can be temporarily shelved in exchange for contemplative face-stroking and frightening small children – all in the name of charity!
Movember, now a global charity event, raises awareness and funds for men’s health – specifically prostate cancer (for the Prostate Cancer Foundation Australia) and depression (for Beyond Blue). Two terrific causes to spruik because both carry a stigma amongst men in Australia (i.e. prostate cancer because of the finger up the butt at the doctor; and depression because gents don’t want people to think they’re a “poofter” if they cry sometimes).
And thus raising awareness and educating people can literally save lives. If YOU want to save lives (or just have a good excuse to walk around looking like a late-Seventies cricket player without getting a drink thrown on you) get involved in Movember.
This year Movember is all about the ‘Country Gentleman’ – the craft and the pride, Mo’s that are face grown and hand brushed. Dudes can get a little inspiration from the handsome hirsute devils in the video below.
Register now and start tending your own fanny ticklers.
And remember: growing a novelty ‘mo during Movember without registering and raising money is a greater social faux pas than lighting an orphanage on fire using a burning puppy as a torch.
