Mid-Movember update

November 15, 2011 · by Anna Rohleder

Time flies - but what do moustaches do?

Since it's already the middle of the month, we decided to check in with the Movember Mo Bros group on My Opera to see how the 'staches are shaping up.

Hey Internet, my moustache looks bigger if I do this with my mouth.

Fearless leader of Mo Bros, seaempty, reports on what the experience has been like for him so far:

On going for the ultimate moustache look

Before I started Movember, I think I had my eye on a cavalier-type moustache, with accompanying chin growth. It appears, however, that I'm not going to be able to groom such a fine effort, so I may go for a thin Errol Flynn.

On the reactions of others

I've had some strange looks from people who know me, and it often takes me a few moments to realise why. I think people are often too polite to mention it! At home, however, my wife refuses to kiss me, and my kids say I look silly.

How it feels on the inside

The moustache is now past the itchy stage, which is a relief as it was getting a bit uncomfortable. It's not as bad as I thought it would be, but I just don't think I suit a moustache. I will say, however, that having a moustache has given me a bit more confidence - there's no hiding it, so you've just got to go out with your head held high and accept you look a bit foolish.

Check out more photo updates from other members of Movember Mo Bros - including some very styling "girlstaches" - and don't forget to add your own... even if you have to draw it on !

I strongly believe he sprung from the womb with a full 'stache.
