What do they have in common?

Look carefully at the following characters....


Captain Hook - 1 handed pirate antagonist of Peter Pan.


Ned Flanders - Sickenly cheerful fundamentalist Christian, next door neighbor to Homer Simpson.


Sgt. Floyd Pepper - Bass player in the Muppet band 'Dr Teeth and the Electric Mayhem', a laid back character based on Pink Floyd and the Beatle's Sgt. Pepper.


Yosemite Sam - More moustache than face, longer than his arms, the only thing bigger would be his cowboy hat.


Mr Potato Head - the most popular vegetable toy in the world.


Husband



What do they all have in common? Lip Sweaters!

This is husband's second go at Movember, the month-long celebration of the moustache, highlighting men’s health issues - specifically prostate and testicular cancer. A Mo Bro starts Movember – the month formerly known as November – clean shaven, and grows a moustache all month long, garnering support from friends and family.

I can't wait until shaving day!

Baygirl presents..... the porn stache

Its the last day for husband's face catapiller, and I can honestly say that I won't be sad to see it go. In honor of his month long dedication, I have gathered some info on the mouthbrow...

There is a whole line of products designed for the care of one's mustache, including mustache wax, mustache nets (snoods), mustache brushes, mustache combs, mustache condoms, mustache curb-feelers, mustache scissors AND a mustache cup. (The is a drinking cup with a partial cover to protect the upper lip from froth)

There are many thick, rich and delicious mustache styles





The Dali - narrow, long points bent or curved steeply upward; areas past the corner of the mouth must be shaved. Artificial styling aids needed.

The English - narrow, beginning at the middle of the upper lip the whiskers are very long and pulled to the side, slightly curled; the ends are pointed slightly upward; areas past the corner of the mouth usually shaved. Artificial styling may be needed, especially if you are, actually, English.

The Fu Manchu - long, downward pointing ends, generally beyond the chin.

The Pancho Villa - similar to the Fu Manchu but thicker; also known as a "droopy mustache"

The Handlebar - bushy, with small upward pointing ends.

The Horseshoe - Often confused with the Fu Manchu style, the horseshoe was possibly popularized by modern cowboys and consists of a full mustache with vertical extensions from the corners of the lips down to the jawline and resembling an upside-down horseshoe.

The Imperial - whiskers growing from both the upper lip and cheeks, curled upward

The Moustachio - bushy mustache, with hair sometimes growing down the sides of the mouth.

The Taylor- a thin row of fine dark hairs along the upper lip.

The Pencil mustache - narrow, straight and thin like a pencil, closely clipped, outlining the upper lip, with a wide shaven gap between the nose and mustache.
Office model – favored by middle managers who live in fear of doing anything unusual.

The Toothbrush or Dictator - thick, but shaved except for about an inch (2.5 cm) in the center; associated with Adolf Hitler and Charlie Chaplin.

The Walrus - bushy, hanging down over the lips, often entirely covering the mouth.

The GG - bushy hair grown only over the corners of the mouth, shaved in the middle.

Without further delay, I present husband's nose foilage... the 1970`s porn stache

Is it December yet?

Movember(a portmanteau of the words 'moustache' and 'November') is an annual month-long event involving the growing of moustaches to promote awareness on men's health. Since I can't grow a proper moustache of my own, I donated husband's face to Movember.

For the past 28 days, I've been watching husband grow his lip sweater. Every time I catch him stoking his misplaced eyebrow, the only thing I can think about is how fun it would be to shave off that upper lip plumage while he's sleeping! {insert evil laughter here}

I don't know if the soup saver bothers him, but it's driving me nuts, he looks like a 1970's porn star, and not in a good way. AND it itches!
