Aquaman could totally rock a moustache
I personally think that Aquaman could completely rock a moustache.
Granted that’s a random statement but these are the things I wonder in the wee hours of the morning when I can’t sleep (which there have been plenty of lately).
Aquaman doesn’t have a mask to make the moustache look stupid and now Tony Stark has abandoned his mo in favour of the goatee style worn by Robert Downey Jr the superhero moustache field is completely open. I mean …

It has been a ridiculous 19 days of growing a Magnum PI moustache as I have spent at least half of it with a cold and let me tell you, no amount of awesomeness helps when you have a moustache and a runny nose.
But I have persevered.
It’s for a good cause.
The Magnum PI Mo brings riches and fame and glory and general awesomeness:
Ummm, I’m not even really sure what to do with that., do they even still have Playgirl? Should I ring someone and ask? You know, just in case?
Moving along, you may remember this mo-less wonder:
Well behold the glory of the rough un-shaped raw glory of the Magnum PI Mo!!!!
All it needs is some shaping and a little more volume and I can already hear Higgins whining about something (I barely remember the show to be honest, I do expect to be taken around in helicopters though).
Now as much fun as all this is I am doing this for a great cause, Movember (read the original post -Bringing back the Magnum PI Mo for men’s health!)

So far the support has been brilliant and awesome and humbling, and if you haven’t had the chance to donate yet please remember every little bit helps!! Check out all my updates on MoSpace.
With this being the first day in Movember I thought it might be cool to have a look a five truly great moustaches from popular culture.
5. The Stranger – The Big Lebowski
The mysterious cowboy narrator played by Sam Elliot who has pretty much one of the most impressive moustaches in Hollywood. I mean really has a man’s face ever demanded a moustache more? I suspect it has it’s own trailer on set and a separate contract for appearances.
4. Doctor Strange
I keep intending on reading the original Doctor Strange comics, it’s on my list because apart from the impressive handle bar moustache I don’t quite get the character yet he’s been going strong for years. He’s a master of the occult, or is that ‘the’ master of the occult? And for mighty Marvel magic cross overs he is the go-to guy.
When he first started out (technically a villain named Dr Strange was the first appearance… oh sorry forgot the comic book geek alert) he had the pencil moustache like Tony Stark or Clark Gable’s but it developed into either a full handle bar moustache or a hybrid pencil handle bar moustache depending upon the artist. Of course today he has succumb to public pressure and grown the goatee despite the handle bar moustache being sported quite proudly by men such as Nick Cave.
3. Lando Calrissian
I have no idea why Lando is so damn cool, it must be something to do with the moustache. I mean the guy betrays everyone’s favourite character yet still doesn’t get his arms ripped off by a Wookie and is given the chance to redeem himself. I know that they were thinking ‘Damn he could have tipped us off but sheesh that moustache is neat so lets trust him’.
Of course his costume is pretty sweet too, it serves to enhance the moustache and not overwhelm it… OK I’m going to stop staring at Lando’s picture now and grow my manly moustache.
2. Tony Stark
You want to know what slowed up the production of the Mark II Iron Man armour, Stark was trying to work out a way so people could still see his impressive Clark Gable pencil moustache and protect his identity as well. Obviously even his brilliant mind couldn’t work out the problems and ultimately he let the idea go. Safe in the knowledge that when he did remove the helmet that his rocking moustache would still be there.
Of course being a trend setter Stark adapted his moustache throughout the years to reflect the times but unlike Dr Strange (who secretly was copying Stark’s facial hair) Tony didn’t go the handle bar, knowing it was more manly to go the Magnum PI.
Then something horrible happened.
Tony abandoned the moustache and grew it into a goatee?!? (which of course Strange copied…)
1. Magnum PI
The gold class of moustaches, untouched by changes in style, a consistent winner.
So remember that I’m growing a Magnum PI Mo for Movember and I’m looking for donations to go to really great cause, men’s health which often gets overlooked.
You can follow my progress over at http://au.movember.com/mospace/204841/ or go directly to the donation page and throw my mo growing endeavour some cash!
