Most dudes have probably sported some facial foliage at one time or another, or they’ve considered it.
Some favour a carefully-timmed goatee or ‘stash while others go for the free-range ‘ZZ Top’ sagebrush effect.
Some will recognize the name “Hercule Poirot” and be familiar with the fastidiously-groomed nose-mat of the fictional character.
But this month the moustache truly comes into it’s own – a time when the moustache is the message!
Craig Lindsay and Jim Sinclair of the Castlegar News are using the “Movember” occasion to sign up for the 30-day moustache plan. It doesn’t seem too taxing... and just think of the money and physical energy they’ll save letting those upper lips cover up.
It’s a lighthearted way to channel some attention and cash toward the goal of prostate-cancer research.
The stats tell a story of how much that research is needed.
About one in seven men will find out about prostate cancer first hand.
So if you feel inclined to support Craig and Jim in their month-long quest to come to terms with new grooming challenges... they’ll be most grateful.
Everything raised will go to where it’s intended.
Will they see or hear from you in Movember? They hope so!
