Movember - Please Help Our Mos Grow!

Movember – Please Help Our Mos Grow!

By no means a bland accessory, moustaches (or “mustaches” per the AMI) have defined the faces of history. They’re not exactly the mark of a refined gentleman, but rather the mark of a man with something to say, and the gall to say it. Einstein, Dali and Ron Burgundy — need I say more?

Movember – The Moustache Grow-a-thon

Over the past 10 years, The Movember Foundation has reinvigorated the art of moustache growing, and — as if creating hundreds of thousands of spontaneous moustache growers wasn’t enough — has aligned the effort with the great causes like LIVEstrong and the Prostate Cancer Foundation. The effort raised over $100 Million dollars last year by turning men’s faces into “walking, talking billboards for the 30 days of November.”

Just look at the Google Trend for “moustache” searches over the past five years:

Our team decided to join the mo-growing this year, and we are proud to bring to you our one-week old ‘staches! Today I took a quick tour around the office to see what I could find, and was delighted by the Mo-growing going on.

Here’s what team #PINTstache looks like as of Movember 8th:
