Let it prickle
Almost a Mustache
A few weeks ago I read on A Clown on Fire a post called “Bloggers for Movember”, so I’m joining the movement and will let my practically non-existent mustache grow, it’ll look ridiculous but who cares?
We all know someone struggling with the damn cancer. I lost a really good friend of mine a year ago, she was too young and the way she went was too drastic and unexpected.
My grandpa (father’s side) also died of cancer, luckily nobody else in the family has suffered from it but since I was a little kid I’ve been aware of it. I didn’t have the chance to know my grandpa, he died when my dad was 18. All I know is that he was a bright man, he was mayor of his city and was a hell of a funny man. He kept a diary with practical jokes he would play on people. Growing up aware of what cancer was, once I reached my teens I let my ratty hair grow and believe me, my hair is a mess, it’s sorta curly and as thick as the hair of a pig, just picture a wavy haired pig and that’s me. The mess was worth it though, it was for the children (for real, not like when I ask for votes). They say they could make 2 wigs with my rat nest of hair.
If I could cope with years of long, messy hair a month with a nasty mustache is nothing. It’s all for a good cause and to raise awareness.
So ladies, gentlemen, let your mustache grow, even if it prickles when you kiss, is all for a good cause.

You can also add this badge to your blog.
Well done you. Hope we get to see the moustache at the end of the month!
You will.
Good luck with the tash!
Thanks!
Good for you. I think I’ll have to pass on having a mustache
but I to have lost too many people due to cancer, so I’m right there with you for Movember. Looking forward to seeing the end result.
Good for you!
I think it’s a rather respectable looking mustache and after all, it’s in its’ “infant” stage so by the end of Movember it will fill in anyway……these things take time and nurturing – I suggest plenty of wine to keep it well-watered! Cancer is a nasty thing – I’m a survivor myself so I know. I’m sorry you’ve had to suffer the loss of family and friends from it….it seems everybody knows or has known someone with cancer. I’d grow a mustache if I could but alas I’m still dealing with hair issues from my treatments a few years ago so can barely grow hair on my HEAD much less over my lip!!!! Anyway, good for you Leo………with Doggy’s encouragement all things are possible!

Good on you Leo. My husband’s family has been ravaged by cancer and I lost my Mom to cancer way to early. Hubby sports a moustache and a goatie, baaaaaaaaa! Could that count? I will pass on the upper lip hair. It’s just wrong on an old lady!
My uncle died of cancer, and now 2 friends (although not close friends) suffer from it. If I could grow a mustache, I would. Good luck, and don’t forget to post a photo at the end of the month!
I will wait for your photo, I’ll bet it looks great….
Good on ya Pal, I better start growing mine..lol I’ve lost lost of my family to Cancer, so I salute you.. One good thing about a tash, is that you can save bits of food for later..LOL xx00xx

What a wonderful thing for you to do!! Our peep daddy is growing a mustache and a beard. He is in Afghanistan and it will keep his face warmer. Our peep mommy says she shaves her mustache and ain’t growing it for nobody. Sometimes peeps just don’t get it. Lots of love from Mattie the foxhound, Simone the collie, and Lucy and Eddie the JR’s. And their peeps.
Nice work! Allowing my mustache to grow will make for an interesting workweek.
You going handlebar? Fu manchu? What kind of mustache can we look forward to?
Cool almostache.
I think it’s great that you are participating! And I doubt you’ll look ridiculous!
Sigh…maybe I better put the tweezers away for the month in support of my sister with cancer…:o In another week you’ll look dashing in your stasche!
The mustache looks very attractive ! It might come in handy if the USA & Canada ever become one .
I think the mustache is gonna look good. These things take time. Also, I’ve found that contrary to the persistent belief that when you shave your beard or mustache it comes in more full, that after you’ve grown one for a while, the next time you shave you’ll find the hair grows a little fuller. This is based on personal observation, and not a bit of science (which I distrust and suspect may be a little bit evil).
hey Doggy, Jet here.
Thanks to Misaki, we now understand Movember and applaud your human for participating.
It’s a good initiative
Well done for participating xxx
It’s worth it
My husband has been doing Movember for the last 4 years. He’s going with the handlebar mo again this year. He has light brown hair, but lucky for me his beard grows in bright red. Coincidentally, November is also the month he doesn’t get any kisses.
