Movember (http://uk.movember.com) is a foundation designed to raise awareness for men's health issues. The Mo, slang for moustache, and November come together each year for Movember. Movember challenges men to change their appearance and the face of men’s health by growing a moustache. The rules are simple, start Movember 1st clean shaven and then grow a moustache for the entire month. The moustache becomes the ribbon for men’s health, the means by which awareness and funds are raised for cancers that affect men. Much like the commitment to run or walk for charity, the men of Movember commit to growing a moustache for 30 days.
The male MSP Staff on my floor at the Parliament are all taking part in the charity event and raising money for the Prostate Cancer Charity. I appreciate their involvement and their fundraising efforts, but lets face it... Tom is really the only guy who can pull off the moustache. Every time one of the guys on the floor asks me how he is looking with the moustache, I have to fight back the response, "you look like a pedophile and I am getting the urge to hide all the children in a five mile radius." Instead I opt for the slightly less offensive 70s police officer reference. I cannot wait for December to come and clean shaven faces to return.
Really we all know that Tom should have been the spokesperson for this month:
Just SOOOOOOO Good Looking!
(For you Mom)
Much love,
Alyson
