Movember

It happens once a year... you tend to recognize it gradually... they're obtrustive, they're nasty, they're crude... they're mustaches.

The 11th month of the year in Sydney is Movember. Everywhere you look, men from 18 -40 grow thick, filthy moustaches "to raise awareness of prostate cancer." Men in expensive business suits; men in polos; men with attractive girlfriends - they all do it.

I messed up royally this month by failing to photograph the random "mos". This celebration of mos is city-wide. But thankfully, as of 1 December, it's all over.

Hilarious side note: Last November, when Josh and I visited Sydney (land of hipsters, I should add), Josh swore to me that this moustache trend was going to blow up in the States.

It's been nearly a year since I did away with my mustache, and I have yet to miss it.

I never saw any moustaches next door! Was is a freedom mo?

It was a regular mo, and you did see it, you probably just don't remember. I know I still had it when you guys got locked out of your apartment and we first got acquainted. I think that shaving it was sort of a freedom shave, though - no more itchy upper lip.
