Ah the moustache. It doesn’t get much of a look in as a fashion item anymore – except in Movember. That’s when men all over Australia start sprouting facial hair to support men’s health, particularly prostate cancer research. For some reason, the blokes here have absolutely taken to Movember. It’s like it gives them an excuse to finally let loose and go all Magnum P.I.
I was inspired to put up the pic of the above gorgeous specimen of mohood by this great article in the SMH.

The mo gets so much attention I’m jealous. Reactions range from fear, to laughter, to macho, to gay, to sexy. The mo has almost become an entity in its own right.
I visited a client’s office recently and was greeted by a young man with, “Wow, that’s awesome! Is this for Movember or are you … like … serious?” Before I could answer he screamed over his shoulder, “Hey, guys! Come and check out this mo!” People forget that there’s a man behind the mo.
What I thought would be a bit of fun is fast becoming a borderline identity crisis. The mo has given birth to my alter-ego, Dwayne, a redneck long-haul trucker with uncontrollable sex appeal. He’s popular with the ladies and has influenced facial fashion from Bondi to Penrith. I see Dwayne clones everywhere. The mo is larger than life.
I think a mo can be quite sexy to be honest. And it takes a bit of bravado to get away with one, so it shows strength of character.
The other cool thing about Movember is it gives guys an excuse to get cheeky with their own appearance. To explore new territory – or to get dressed up as a bandido, Village person, Merv Hughes or… Magnum P.I. Having seen the fun photos from the various charity galas, I’m starting to feel a little bit of Mo Envy.
So Movember is nearly over, but sometimes I wish it was a year-round event.
