So I finally committed to it and I am now growing a moustache this year for Movember. Now I’m not just growing any old moustache to help raise awareness and funds for men’s health – specifically prostate cancer and depression in men. No I am growing the ultimate in manly man moustaches:
The Magnum PI Mo
That’s right I am taking on the challenge for one month to go from:
to this:
So why is this so important that I would take my usual Miami Vice Stubble to Magnum PI Mo?*
You see what a lot of people don’t realise is that close to 3,000 men die of prostate cancer each year in Australia alone and one in eight men will experience depression in their lifetime – many of whom don’t seek help. I’ve had my own brushes with men’s health issues, so that and those facts have convinced me that I should get involved and I am hoping that you will support me.

* I have no idea why 80′s television rules my facial hair!!??
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!)
