Movember


A few people in work are thinking about taking part. Sounds like fun, but I not sure if I will. Definitly wouldn't suit me..... would look way too sleazy

Is anything like this done in Ireland? First time I have heard of it.

Movember - Changing the face of Men's Health
Movember (the month formally known as November) is a charity event held during November each year.

At the start of Movember guys register with a clean shaven face. The Movember participants known as Mo Bros then have the remainder of the month to grow and groom their moustache and along the way raise as much money and awareness about male health issues as possible.

If I do it, then it will a full beard or a goatee. No 'mo' for me.

Aren't they always...?

Was in Australia last year for 'Movember' and it was class.. It looked so sleazy seeing 3 or 4 lads in fancy suits with sleazy mo's hanging round bars. I was actually in the middle of a beard growing process at the time so i couldn't participate.
The Pornstarhandlebars were the Mo of choice for a lot of participants. In Australia this was also called a 'Milat', after Ivan Milat. He was an Australian serial killer who murdered a number of Backpackers and was also a fan of growing mo's. Just do a google images search and you'll see what i mean..

Just out of our management meeting. First topic of conversation was Movember.
They want to get all male staff from the four bars to take part. It is for charity after all.

No beards or goaties allowed There goes my plan.

I'm gonna look very very sleazy with a mo.

Better have fun over the next 2 weeks, 'cos I won't be getting any lovin' until it gets shaved off

Right, it's the 1st of Movember today.
We all got mug shots taken. First prize is a limited edition magnum size bottle of 42 Below Vodka. Only 100 bottles were made and we have 3 of them.

Due to an unfortunate affliction (gingervitis), I am unable to rapidly grow facial hair.
As such, I will not be taking part.

Slow Motion

Already hirsuit, would be like a busmans holliday for me.

Rabies

Not that it matters too much to you guys on this side of the world, but every thursday we have a Mo Bro meeting. Gonna be a laugh. Prizes will be offered to the best styled. The Hitler, Mr T, Magnum etc...

Don't grow facial hair that quickly but ironically i shaved just earlier this evening so might be a sign!

yeah we had this discussion last night in the bar, myself and a few mates are getting some taches going on, should be funny. Also at work, Trust Power, there'll be a moustache party too in Papamoa at the end of November for us, should be awesome!

Rabies

We have managed to get a good few of our corporate regulars to do it. Nice few sign ups so far.
We have a few big functions on the this months, we're all gonna look really sleazy.
Feck it, it's for charity.

What part of NZ are you in Brazilia?

BraziliaNZ

Mount Maunganui - it's kind of a suburb of Tauranga, if you know it. I spent winter in Wellington (bad idea) and moved up here in September. Awesome place. Where are you?

Caliden

A 4 day growth is too much for me. Best of luck though

That is the plan. New pictures will be taken at each Mo Bro meeting.
The girl I'm seeing now has said not to expect much until the Mo is gone.... I hope she was joking

ScumLord

I'm already in the process of growing a new kick ass bready type thing and can't clean shave as it will ruin months of preparation and research.

WindSock

Yeah It's a good idea, I've only seen it in Oz/Nz, be nice to bring it over here. You can draw some inspiration from these guys...http://www.worldbeardchampionships.com/

You'd have to be a fast grower though

Dave!

wish I could grow a mo......

I sponsored a mate of mine, seemingly this thing is running in Australia too.

Rabies

Its finally over.

I shaved on the nov 1st. 4 days later I just had my mo and strong growth.

Then came the bombshell. My g/f said I'm getting no lovin' for the month. I think she was joking, but could be sure, so I went with the beard option. Just shaved my cheeks dow to my jaw line and under my neck.

For the final week I was pestered by senior management so get rid of the beard and go for the mo. They all did, so I had to

Decided to go for extra long handle bars. They ran from almost the corner of my jaw, up the side of my chin and joined with the mo. I kept a little bit of hair under my bottom lip.

Woke up this morning and shaved the monster off.

After all that, now my g/f wants me to go back to the beard. Even though she wasn't a huge fan of it at the begining. Women!!!!!

Hey there was some fellas on the news a few days ago talking about this while sitting around drinking pints in a freezing beer garden pretending not to notice the cameras during the linky bits. They kinda seemed like boardsies* Anybody from here?

*I dunno either, they just did

Rabies

I won the competition between all of our staff.... Yeah me

The prize was a Wild Turkey Poker set (with Wild Turkey of course) and a big L'oreal for Men bag full of manly products....
