Mo joke

It's coming to something when the girls have a better mo than me!

Good effort Farimah.

Mo-mania has begun and there's some brilliant marketing goodies kicking about.

Some of the ones spotted so far have been mo shaped stickers (which you can stick on mirrors and posters of people), beer mats and my personal favourite - the Movember drinks cooler pictured here with a pint of milk, but apparently it keeps beer cool too :)

Happy mo'ing, Samwell (bum fluff) Childs.

Preparation

Unaccustomed as I am to shaving twice a week - it's time to go and prepare for Day One of Movember.

Tomorrow, all the LEWIS Lads will have their photo taken on the first day of the rest of their lives.

Apart from Head of Corporate Affairs Clive Booth, who already looks like this:










His excuse is that he's openly cheating. Fair enough.

Men: in need of as-SISTA-nce

"Sexism!", I hear you cry!

I know. It's just so not fair that we women can't have itchy faces and look like tramps for the next month.

But before you start burning your bras – take heart! We Mo Sistas can get involved in a fundraising capacity. So please stand by our men and register your asSISTAnce here.

We'll be doing a variety of FUNdraising activities throughout Movember. First of all, we will be given cress trays (cast your minds back to primary school) to grow the most outlandish 'tache shapes we can – with prizes for the best and worst.

Alternatively, you can grow your own mo (see picture). Best stick to cress, no?

As good as it gets

For some reason, nobody has yet mentioned the man who invented the moustache.

Please. put your hands together and say a warm Hawaii welcome to...

Mo Pressure

So with a week to go until Movember commences the pressure is starting to build.

Last night I sent out a begging mail to friends asking them to sponsor my efforts and I've already had a couple of pledges. There really is 'mo way out'.

I will now spend the weekend trimming my one-week-old beard into various styles until a winner is decided upon.

The current pre-shave favourite is the mo sported by infamous Aussie psycho - Chopper.

Movember Launch Party

I became a fully-fledged citizen of Movember last Thursday at the official launch party where I pledged my allegiance to the mo.

The night also involved speeches and videos from the main organisers, explaining what Movember is all about and how it is helping to ‘change the face of men’s health’.

We were then given a few words from a senior member of the Prostate Cancer Charity before seeing his mo of 35yrs shaved off on stage in preparation for next month.

Then we all got drunk.

Mo rules - the official rules

Here's an update of the Mo rules - this time, it's official... From Jim BBQ himself.

01: You don’t talk about Movember outside of the month.

02: Movember runs for 30 days. No more.

03: There is to be no joining of the Mo to side burns—That’s a beard.

04: There is to be no joining of the handlebars—That’s a goatie.

05: A small complimentary growth under the bottom lip is allowed (aka a tickler).

06: You must remain clean shaven apart from your Mo for the entire 30 days.

The Movember Committee accepts no responsibility for lost jobs, lost girlfriends/boyfriends, rashes to you or your partner or any other such mishaps caused by a Movember Mo.

Thoughts on a style

So as not to look like Tosh Lines off the Bill:










Many of us will be attempting to grow a 70s-style 'Superfly' mo:










On the surface it appears to be an easy choice, and close enough to a goatee to pass as normal.

But will we end up looking like the fellow off Movember.com:









Or will we all just turn into this?











We shall see.
