Looking to kick-start your Movember fundraising this week? Here are some quick suggestions for getting those first donations.

Last chance to donate!

Ok, so the first few days were a bit awkward. I was basically wearing my fancy dress party outfit to work (minus the male cleavage, the sunglasses, and the hard hat; sorry ladies), and feeling so uncomfortable that I actively avoided looking into stranger's eyes. I remember walking from the coffee machine to my office, making eye contact with a colleague and seeing her friendly smile very briefly change into a giggle. Ow, and then there was that time at the mall when I walked past a guy and noticed him continuously looking at me while sporting a big, cheeky grin.
But none of that for the last week or so. Maybe the public knows about Movember, although I doubt it. Except for the ones on my team, I haven't seen any previously unmoustachioed colleagues. Only one person, unprovoked, used the word Movember to me after seeing me, and in the first week of M/November Google News listed only one Dutch article mentioning it. Such a shame. It's a good cause, but I guess when the novelty wears off...
Ultimately I'm putting it down to wearing this thing with confidence, albeit perhaps more out of habituation than out of pride. As I said to Edith Beerdsen, this thing is growing on me, and it seems to have grown on the people who see me every day too. Some even say it suits me, although one of them is still unclear whether that is a compliment or not. I'm with her :-), how about you guys?

Today was my first day at work ever wearing a moustache, and it has already had its effect on me. To get the matter out of the way, I pointed everyone I talked to straight to my lip: this was not a fashion statement, but a Movember thing! Hard to explain since it's not yet November. I also avoided eye contact with anyone that I'm not on speaking terms with, afraid of any disapproving looks. It's not yet November, and so there's also no critical mass of moustache wearing people around to ease the public into knowing that it's just that time of the year again.
While cycling to work I was wrecking my brain to remember whether I knew anyone who once had sported one of these (apart from the obvious movie stars and wrestlers), and exactly at that time I cycled past a fiftyish year old, aggressive looking bald guy, who perfectly matched the stereotype I associated with this thing. While at Halloween I was mimicking one of the gay icons of the 70's, I guess today it's obviously a biker gang thing. And secretly I love that look. The problem is, I just can't pull that look off (plus, I'm not a hard guy, don't want to be seen as a hard guy, and don't think a hard guy image is suitable for my work, but I do love it on others)!
Before work I did make my moustache more suitable for work. I cut off the Hulk Hogan protuberances that pointed dawn from my jaw, and I did make the "pipes" (ow yes, there are terms for these things!) less wide. This evening I went and bought me a new shaver, and that made matters a lot worse! Enhancing the contrast between face and moustache is NOT what you want to do if you're ashamed of your moustache and want to stop people who see you from five meters away from noticing you. This thing now stands out like a turd in cauliflower soup!
