Moustache – Keep or Wax? YOU DECIDE!
December, the month of extra ‘stache or a day of wax?
Hello Fine people!
As you’re all well and truly aware by now I’ve been growing my ‘stache all month. It’s actually starting to look like a moustache too!
Firstly I’d like to thank everyone that has donated money so far, I’ve raised a lot more than I was expecting and as of right now there’s $535 that has gone to a good cause. However, the end of the month hasn’t quite been reached yet and I’ve had a few requests from people in recent weeks, so as a final donation drive I’m asking for more donations and votes on my course of action!
Here are the courses of action I want votes on:
- Option One – Wax the bloody thing off! That’ll teach me for trying to grow a moustache in the first place and will make me understand some of the strange pain many women put themselves through in the name of beauty! Important lessons!
- Option Two – Keep it for another month! I’m guessing this option will have two groups of people voting for it, those that think I look silly/stupid/disgusting and think this is more amusing than having my lip waxed and those strange enough to think the ‘stache suits me. Either way the option is on the table.
Here’s what I think the two options might look like:
The catch!
I am sick of this moustache (and the flecks of orange that seem to be popping up more and more as it grows) and I fear the idea of getting it waxed off! I would much rather just shave it off over the weekend and leave it at that.
However as most of you know. I’m a good sport and I’m willing to sacrifice for the cause, so if I can raise $750 by December 2nd (that is this Friday) I’ll go with whichever option gets the most votes. I need another $215 to hit the mark.
The Rules:
- I need $750 in donations by December 2nd or I’m shaving it off over the weekend.
- Votes can either be emailed through to me, or cast with a donation. I’ll post the votes as they come in on my Movember page.
- Only people who have donated $5 or more to my Movember campaign get a vote.
- Each person that donates gets one vote, just because you donated $100 mum doesn’t mean you get extra votes.
- I’m not keeping it past December! (I’m getting married in January for gods sake!)
- If waxing it off gets the most votes I’ll get someone to come along and take some snaps for proof.
So, if you’ve already donated to the cause, email which option you want me to take! If not and you want to vote please donate through the link below:

Love story
I’m quite impressed and touched by this new ad by GetUp, even if it does steel a few elements from The Prodigy’s – Smack my Bitch Up (probably not a safe for work video…). Of course The Prodigy aren’t really pushing a positive message in the same way that GetUp are, so it’s probably worth ignoring the stolen idea.

Worried & Moustached.
As you can see below, I’m worried.
I’m worried that not many people took my last call for Movember donations seriously!
Whilst I have managed to raise $95 since starting this month, that’s come from just five willing contributors. It hass been enough to score some free Grill’d, and I’ve appreciated that, but remember, Movember isn’t about growing (or attempting to grow) a moustache and eating free hamburgers, it’s about raising money and awareness for an important cause. One in nine men are diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime, and at least one in eight men experience depression.
So whilst the moustache on my face may seem like a big joke to everyone that looks at it (and I certainly enjoyed a chuckle at some of the even more pathetic attempts witnessed at Grill’d this afternoon), remember its for an important and worthy cause!
So please donate!
You can do so by:
- Donating online at: http://mobro.co/Itsumishi
- Writing a cheque payable to ‘Movember’, referencing my Registration ID: 1490274 and mailing it to: Movember, PO Box 60, East Melbourne, VIC, 8002
If my post so far hasn’t convinced you, maybe manly man Hulk Hogan, sporting a mini Hulk Hogan below his impressive and manly moustache will help purvey the seriousness of the cause.

Moustachian
Hello Ladies & Gentlemen!
As I’m sure all of you are aware, Moustache Season has begun, and many manly men are allowing their testosterone to run rampant across their faces, pushing hairs out from above their lips. It’s all for the very important cause of mens health, and donations are being solicited in the aims to improving awareness of mens health issues, raise money for different research and above all help treat men with health complaints.
This year I’ve joined the ranks of manly men looking to help raise money for this important cause. I know that some have been skeptical of my facial hair in the past, questioning its ability to sprout evenly, but this last week I’ve concentrated extra hard and the results have been nothing short of stunning. I’ve attached a photo of my freshly shaved face dated the 1st November, alongside the very many moustache visible on my face this morning, just seven short days into Moustache Season.
As you can see, my many moustache has clearly made me look much more serious, and as this is an important range of issues, its important to remain serious.
I’ve also run my current photo through a series of very advanced image enhancement software that renders how my face will likely look at the end of the month, depending on my choice of moustache style.
Now that you can see the dazzling possibilities of my astonishing testosterone fuelled manly manliness. It’s time for the formalities.
I’d appreciate if anyone was able to help raise money for the cause by donating to my Movember campaign. You can denote through any of the following methods:
- Donating online at: http://mobro.co/Itsumishi
- Writing a cheque payable to ‘Movember’, referencing my Registration ID: 1490274 and mailing it to: Movember, PO Box 60, East Melbourne, VIC, 8002
Thank you all, if you’d like I can send you a weekly ’stache update via email, just ask!
Kind Regards,
Mr Julian Wearne

I’ve been following Jon’s work for quite a while now, however with my studies commencing I hadn’t had the chance to look at it for a while. In this time he’s really stepped things up a notch, the man works wonders in black and white and has a very keen eye for composition.
This photo is one of my favourites of his fairly recent works. The composition and the rich black tones really do it for me.

Yolke – Sunrise Eyes

A while ago I posted a video my lovely friend Hillary made for a friends band Trjaeu. She’s recently made a video for another very close friends band Yolke.
As you’ll be able to tell Hillary is very talented, she’s also a damn fine photographer.
