This year, my roommates and some friends of ours got interested in the idea of Mustache March. For those of you who haven’t heard of it before, it’s pretty simple; when it’s March you grow a mustache or rather, you don’t shave your upper lip and whatever happens, happens. Knowing that my fair facial hair grows at an exceptionally slow rate I shaved for the last time on February 14th. When the next month began the others followed suit and quickly caught up to me. Half way though the month competitors shared pictures from as far away as Germany to see how everyone was making out. As the end of the month neared I was considering alternatives including “Just for Men” that would help bring out my fair hair on the last day. Desperately wanting to avoid spending money on dye I resorted to, when pictures were due, borrowed mascara. Finally, after 6 weeks, my glorious mustache could be seen from farther then 3 feet away. Appreciating my efforts the other contenders awarded me the first, and maybe the last, mustache March trophy for which I am very grateful. One of the reasons people got excited about the idea is because we are all graduating and not shaving seems to be less acceptable in the working world. It is also for that reason that I am currently preparing for pony-tail Europe and, depending on the day, speedo and pony-tail Europe. Coming soon to a Europe near you.
