All this can be yours.

Movember is almost here. It’s my third year participating and my third year as team captain of The Movemberists. Last year we raised $6900 for prostate cancer research—that’s awesome. This year I’ve been training hard and you can see the fruits of my efforts in the picture above.

Movember rules mandate that I start Movember 1st clean shaven. That seems like a waste of a lot of awesome curly moustachery. So to kick Movember off I’m giving everyone a chance to own this fine piece of tonsorial work and do what you want with my mug: call it Fantasy Barber.

That’s right: you control the destiny of my moustache and choose how I shave on October 31st.

Here’s what you need to do:

1.  Make a Movember donation before noon (12pmEST) on October 31st.
2. Note the style or pattern you’d like me to shave my moustache into in your donation comment. The sky is the limit. Be creative.
3. If you’re the largest donation I will shave my moustache in the manner of your choosing, photograph it, and wear it as such as I conduct my daily business until Movember 1st when I shear everything off.
4. In the event of a tie bid: Moustache Thunderdome!!

Have fun and happy bidding!

Your humble moustache servant I remain,

Dave
Team Captain
The Movemberists

ps. There’s still time to join the team!

UPDATE!

12pm has arrived  and after a final tally Kim Horne is my moustache benefactor. Much to my relief she has requested the curly, Belgian stylings of Hercule Poirot rather than a more embarrassing Hitler or Passed-out-at-a-party-and-had-half-his-moustache-shaved-off-guy. I’ll will do my best to make both Kim and the esteemed detective proud. Off to shave. Pics to follow!

A big thanks to everybody who helped spread the word and donated—we raised $180 to get Movember started with style. The best part: we’ve got a whole month to raise even more.

AFTER PICS

I did my best with what I had and frankly, I am lacking in Mr. Suchet’s tonsorial prowess. The amount of moustache wax holding this together is truly terrifying and I can’t say I’m looking forward to picking up my son while done up as such.

Thanks again to Kim and everyone else who donated! Olde timey photoeffect to disguise lo-res camera phone snap.
