December: Day 1
Originally uploaded by Tony Ruscoe
Movember is over so the moustache has gone now. And there will be no more daily photos, sorry! Quite a few people have asked for an animation of the whole progress, so I’ll try to get one knocked together over the next few days. In the meantime, here’s a nice close-up photo of my rather ginger moustache:
The donations are still coming in at the moment but it’s looking like our team will have raised around £1500 by the time we’ve finished, so many thanks on behalf of The Prostate Cancer Charity to everyone who generously donated. Your donations will help create awareness, fund research, increase support resources and networks for those men who suffer from prostate cancer.
And finally, here’s a late entry to the photoshopping task by Mai, even though she cheated and used that dreadful FaceInHole.com website:

Here’s some more Movember-inspired photoshop fun courtesy of Chris Ayton. Chris is going to be my best man at our wedding next year. I hope he takes a little more time, care and attention organising my stag do and writing his speech than he did on these pieces of art...
What I would look like if it wasn’t for the accursed ginger gene
What I would look like with a better, thicker moustache (and some weird skin graft on my chin and neck apparently...)
Can you do any better? Grab one of my Movember photos from Flickr and do your worst!

I’m interrupting the broadcast of my daily Movember progress photos to bring you this picture, created by Google Blogoscoped’s Philipp Lenssen:
Heh. I thought it was pretty damn funny before I even realised it was based on this, which was the title card used for an American TV show featuring Hulk Hogan:
And just last night, Dave spent probably no more than ten minutes creating this in Photoshop:
Cheers Philipp and Dave!
Does anyone else wants to create a Movember-inspired picture of me and my mo’?

Apparently, with this mo' I look like:
- Hulk Hogan
- Morgan Spurlock (Supersize Me)
- Someone from a Tarantino movie
- A German porn star
Any more suggestions?

No, it's not the same photo as yesterday. Yes, I'm wearing the same t-shirt. No point shaving at all today really. This is like watching grass grow...

Nice clean shave. Ready for the mo' to grow!
Labels: movember, personal
I hate shaving but I’ve got a clean shaven face today because during Movember (the month formerly known as November) I will be growing and grooming a moustache – also known as a mo’ or a ‘tache – to raise money and awareness about male health issues. I’ve also somehow managed to convince around twelve other men from work to do the same thing.
I’ll be trying to post a photo to my blog every day so that you can keep track of my progress. Ironically, I’m actually going to try and shave more often than my usual once-per-week so that my ‘tache is more prominent but we’ll have to see how much that rips my face and neck to shreds.
If you want to donate, there are a few different ways to do it:
Donate to me – Your donation will be registered against my name [View my Mo Space]
Donate to Team SDL – Your donation will be divided equally between everyone in my team
Email me – If you want to make an offline donation, I’ll let you know how you can do that
All donations are made directly to the The Prostate Cancer Charity who are using the funds to create awareness, fund research, increase support resources and networks for those men who suffer from prostate cancer.
Sadly, a lot of men at work apparently aren’t allowed to help raise awareness of male health issues because their wives and girlfriends are so selfish that they refuse to be kissed by a man with a moustache for just one month, even though it would help raise money and increase awareness of prostate and testicular cancer. Pathetic. I wonder if those same wives and girlfriends would still kiss their men if they had testicular cancer.
Others are too worried about what they’ll look like or how they might get a bit embarrassed walking around with a bit of facial hair. I wonder if these men would get embarrassed when the doctor has to shove his finger up their arse because they need their prostate gland examining in case they’ve got prostate cancer.

Otherwise, watch this space for photos of my mo’ – and please donate some money!
