In case you haven’t noticed, it’s Movember; the awesomest thing to happen to November, ever! And this also marks the 3rd time I’ve grown a moustache and the 2nd time I’m officially raising funds! So to celebrate I’m posting my photos and journey of 2012. I dare you not to smile!

Rantings of a Moustache – Movember 2012
Day: 1 – How the face itches… it’s screaming for my upper lip shadow to form! Where are you moustache??? Soon, be patient young fuzz philanthropist!
Post 2: One week in… I never fully realized the full effects of the moustache; cotton mouth, queasy stomach, random fits of turrets… yet, I feel a sense of power overcoming me, deep within the timber like bristles of my Fu Manchu! I’ve decided to wait it out, and maybe discover it’s true Power! – DD The Fuzz Philanthropist
Post 3: Week Two, the looks have started and I can’t help but feel segregated from my fellow man despite my desire to help them. I take refuge in knowing my upper lip is slightly warmer than most, but it’s little consolation. Then it hits me, MY GOAL, I must Help Men Everywhere… despite all odds I will prevail! Hopefully… Thanks for all the donations! DD – The Fuzz Philanthropist
Post 4: I thought I was alone in this battle…. and no one supported this invaluable cause towards men’s health…. it could be because I haven’t been looking hard enough, or because I haven’t left my apartment in 3 years BUT today as I stepped into work, I was graced by a gift. A gift or fortitude and determination! Ashley Hodgson and Alex Giunta gave me this beautiful shirt….. I Moustache you a question, have you donated to men’s health recently??

Post 5: I’m approaching the final week and as I looked in the mirror this morning I’d swear it’s as if it’s always been there: my upper lip shadow. It’s become a piece of me, a shadow of integrity; the moustache has grown on me… as if all these years I was naked but now I’m complete. But I still find sleepless nights… we’re are my team donations in this time of need? Where are the other’s? I must challenge all of Selleck’s Studs to unite, and get a photo of a bro with a Mo and make some Do, Pho Sho! – The fuzz philanthropist
Post 6: It’s done… After 4 grueling weeks of intense mental hair channeling towards the development of fuzz on southern slopes of both my nasal passages, named Miguël and Xian Li Sum, I am complete! Some people questioned the legitimacy of the Fu Man Chu as a proper moustache… But I say Few Men Chus such an honourable moustache! There’s a company vote coming up… THAT will determine the honour I have bestowed upon myself with this great MO! Thanks again for all the great support, with over 11 donations, we have raised $260.

Post 7: PostMO Appendices: 3:57 a.m., woke up in a sweat, my left hand released its grip on the sheets and grazed across my face, but found nothing. Nothing but the smooth, baby like skin of a recently shaven Movember veteran. It’s been 10 days since I’ve completed my task But I’ve never felt so detached, so alone, so un-creepy! What has terrified my mirrors for many a day has now become my Bill Clinton; easy to make fun of but in the end not soo bad! I find little consolation in knowing that that I won most popular Mo amongst my colleagues, but it’s a sign. I was recognized, AND there’s always next year. Until then every time I see a goatee, or facial stubble, or the thick classic beard, I’ll only hear the whispers of a moustache. Cookie dusters prevail and help save men everywhere! – DD TFP
