No-Shave Movember Ender - The Clark

This here mustache, nicknamed 'The Clark', was designed in the Mountains for outdoor enthusiast and adventurer explorer Sir Oliver Cunningham.  A fitting end to an incredible month of un-shaving, filthy beards, peach fuzz, and sexy mustaches. Well done everyone. See y'all next year.

Scowl and a Duster

So I'm chatting with a friend outside this coffee shop in a small town in Northern California and she introduces me to this dude.... and all I can say is something along the lines of: "That's some duster you got there".  Then, through a series of coincidences he ends up coming to stay at my place with a crew a few days later---what are the chances? Turns out he's a real bro, he's Canadian, and [of course] has a sick mustache!

Let me tell YOU..

           Now, this is the story all about how, my fashion sense got flipped right upside down, and I'd like to take a minute, so just sit right there, I'll tell you what the heck I am wearing though you probably don't care.  Its been approximately -5 degrees all week.  Today I looked out the window and there was white stuff everywhere and coming down in huge flakes.  All this talk about what fashion means, has been tossed quickly out the window with regards to what it looks like.  The fashionulla Queen of the Universe is currently a walking Super Model candidate for what NOT to wear, best part being, I'm thoroughly enjoying it.  My short pink sport socks, my men's large grey sweatpants (with a logo of a University I never attended on the left leg), three tank tops of differing colors, a Matix hoody, old Face to Face Zip up hoody, complete with a dressy scarf, cute toque and bright green coat, all of different colors and styles, are keeping me warm from this blizzard outside (layer upon layer).  Fashion really gets thrown out the window when the word "survival" has anything to do with things.  A few months back when it was sunny I took this photo appalled that they were created, now I'm ready to owe them an apology and go buy a pair in every color!! Water-proof and insulated up to -40 degrees?? BRING IT ON! See you later fashion, I'll give you a call when I wish to be a lot less comfortable.

shaggy backhair is back

minding my own business at the best breakfast joint in town and this guy with the craziest back hair strolls up to the register to pay for his food. i get it----it's been a bit cold lately, so i guess having a ton of back [and arm] hair is probably pretty helpful for staying warm.

Take off your masks.

Have you ever noticed the increased confidence that comes when wearing a mask?


Why is that? What is it about covering one's head and face that causes a swell in liberty?  It's like the mask presents an alternate reality in which we experiment with who we are or would like to be.


This gentlemen strikes me as a man who does not need to wear a mask to express himself (even though he is wearing some sexy ski goggles). I love that he is not only rocking Michael Bolton-esque goldilocks from the 90's with a screamin' digitized ultra-pixelated one-piecer ski suit of many colors---but he's added in the horns on the helmet to make sure we won't ever forget him.

Masks are intriguing..... and in other news, I'm looking forward to this upcoming season.

shoes of the week - 89 air pegasus

This is a classic: Nike Air Pegasus '89. One of the first Nike's I remember wanting back in the day. Now they make a 90% all-black and wicked pink? Nike-haters [that's right---I'm calling you out thunderpants], its gonna be tough to find something wrong with this shoe.... your only chance is to a) be a snob b) claim a sliver of pink is too _________. c) not like radd shoes d) be wrong. What's it gonna be?

sasqswatch

some friends of ours over at Swatch headquarters were so stoked on our local coverage of no-shave novembeard that they sent over a pre-release teaser from their upcoming holiday 2010 catalogue featuring the lovely Sasqswatch modeling the all new Purple Rebel. this watch keeps your time and your beard grooming calendar--so you won't miss a trim! thanks for sending it over guys--we owe you one!

Short Shorts Sighting in November

Tons of complaints have been pouring into customer service about how we've become a mustache-exclusive blog. We certainly lovvvvvvvvvve not-shaving, growing and honoring beards, and Movember. But you're mightily wrong if you think we've gone mustache purist. To prove it, here's a snapshot from this past week taken by a close friend with an amazing eye for what truly matters: Short White Shorts in November! [100% mustache free] Comeonnow!

Tombstone II

Is Tombstone the greatest mustache film of all time? As previously noted, Val Kilmer's huckleberry stache is incredible, but Kurt Russell as Wyatt Earp is a decent opponent. This one has been growing for 30+ years straight---and is just one cowboy hat away from winning this years Wyatt Earp look-alike contest.

MOUSTACHIE!!

ZA MOUSTACHE!!

No-Shave Ned Flanders

Bumping into old friends is great---especially when they have both a sense of style + a sense of humor. Take this old friend for example. He's been rocking the Nedward 'Ned' Flanders duster for real as of late.  His mother and I both agree: this could be the best mustache since the last most incredible mustache.

Tombstone

Doesn't he remind you of Doc Holiday in the movie Tombstone, [played by Val Kilmer]? This incredible 'stache is even more incredible in person.  The best part is--he's not rocking it for Movember (no disrespect to the cause and all), he's just rocking it because he felt like it. I respect that. It takes a certain type of man to a) grow something in this category of spectacular, and b) shred something in this spectacular in public. I tip my cowboy hat to you sir!

Handlebars

One word will suffice:  Handlebars.

Actually, I have to mention that his sideburns were equally as impressive....but this photo doesn't provide the angle required to adequately share them with the world. My apologies. In the meanwhile.....enjoy the bars!

banana mannequin

The Karate Kid dressed as the Man with the Yellow Hat (from Curious George) this year for Halloween, and he loved the costume so much he decided to keep it rolling into November. A dear friend captured this magical moment [and his side-fanny pack] and sent it my way,  I showed it to The Murse and he said, 'he looks like a mannequin'. Thus we dub thee: The Banana Mannequin. 

Movember Ladies, Movember!!

Like I said in September ladies, mustaches are the next big thing... time to shine on like our talented accent-er friend Patty Allen Stott.  Patty's taken her commitment to Movember a few notches beyond where most are willing to go.     

Fear the Beard

The Feared Beard of Brian Wilson has completed the assassination of the Texas Rangers, bringing the San Francisco Giants their first World Series title in over 50yrs. No-Shave Novembeard and Polyester Plaid and Haute Couture would like to honor the San Francisco Giants for crushing the 'we think everything's better + bigger cause we're from Texas' Rangers, and for allowing their closing pitcher extraordinaire to rock the most commanding facial forest in this year's World Series.
