Finally done!

I woke up this morning and Movember was over. To celebrate the event, I took this picture of myself:



Yeah, I look pretty drowsy there. I had just woken up, after all. Remember, this moustache is the result of a month of sustained growth. Think about that: a whole month of feeling self conscious because my body refuses to give me facial hair.

Needless to say, I was really looking forward to getting rid of the thing. Before shaving the full mo off, I decided to have some fun with it. Yes, I went for the Cantinflas look:



After taking a few snaps, I was finally ready to shave the full thing off. After a quick shower and the fact that my lip is no longer tickled by hair, my face has never felt cleaner.



Thanks to everyone who donated. Funds as of yesterday were at $185. If you haven't donated and you want to, there's still time. Just click the link in last week's update and follow the instructions.

How to donate

I'm going to repost some of the stuff from the first post because it's on the second page now. I'm growing what little facial hair I have for a good cause and I need sponsors.

Remember, to sponsor my Mo, go to http://www.movember.com/au/donate, enter my registration number (124038) and your credit card details.

If for whatever reason, you can't use your credit card, you can also donate by sending a cheque in the mail. Make all cheques payable to the "Movember Foundation" clearly marking the donation as being for my Registration Number: 124038 and mail them to PO Box 292, Prahran VIC 3181

Only one week to go!

I've only got a week to go before I'll be free of my scraggly facial hair and it's crunch time for donations. Those of you who've promised to donate, please do it this week and everyone else who has had a good laugh at my attempts, well, now's your chance to contribute to society.

In this update, I've had to trim away parts of my man-fluff because I attended a fancy shindig on a boat. It looks a bit neater than before, but as you can see, I've had to forgo the tickler and trimmed the edges of the top lip.



It's a bit shorter than I wanted it because when I went to trim it on one side, I went overboard and made it lopsided. To compensate, I trimmed a bit off the other side, which made it lopsided again, but the other way. This happened three or four times before I stopped. After all, I don't want to look like a dark Charlie Chaplin (or Hitler).



Here's a Blue Steel marred by unsightly facial hair. Remember, details on how to donate are in the first post.

Three weeks... pathetic.

It has now been three weeks since I began this epic quest for manly facial hair, and I have to say... I am utterly failing at this.



Not only is the hair scraggly and unsightly, it's itchy. I mean, really, really itchy. Oh yeah, if you think this picture is scary, you should check out the full size one. You can see the sunlight glinting off each individual hair. Ewwww.

Let's see what kind of damage has been dealt to the face:



Only one more week to go. Make sure you donate!

Half way in!

I am now half way into my Movember challenge and I think the results speak for themselves:

Marvel at my manliness and (in)ability to grow a thick, luxurious moustache:


Here I am zoomed out so that you don't have to look at my lips:



And just for all those doubters out there, there is no such thing as black eyes. Just very dark brown:

12 days

It has now been a week and a half since I began this incredible attempt at growing facial hair. It's looking pretty horrendous at the moment. I really should have known that my genes would be working against me.



Seriously, at this point, I don't think I could even pull off the Cantinflas look.

Also, donations have been running kind of dry. I know it's hard to part with money, but I'm putting my dashing good looks on the line here, people! You still have plenty of time to sponsor my Mo, so get to sponsoring.

One week

It has been a week since I started letting my mo grow. Admittedly, the results so far aren't that sexy. Here's a picture of my face as it is right now:


Hello there, baby...

Here's a close up of my lips. This thing is starting to take on a life of its own and it's only getting scragglier by the day.

Yeah, my lips are kinda gross when you zoom in, aren't they? I'm still annoyed about the bald patches. What will happen when it grows out more? Stay tuned to find out!

Don't forget to sponsor me!
