do the mos have it?

It's Movember month and I'm sure your workplace, like mine, has been overrun with Mo Bros and Sistas donning mustaches for a very good cause.

Having seen dozens of handlebars, many naturals and even the odd Fu Manchu during my daily November activities, it started me thinking about men's facial hair in general.

Beards, moustaches and what have you seem to have made a startling comeback, especially on men under the age of 35. Now, personally, I think a beard makes a man look a lot older than he really is. I prefer a fresh face, or just a hint of stubble, but that's beside the point. What I'm wondering is why this latest trend? Is it that men want to look older than they are? They're too lazy to shave? Or do they think a mustache gives them an air of wisdom and gentleman-ness? Well, good luck to them. Movember is the perfect time for the mens to grow their facial hair and swan around looking like 70s porn stars. (But, fellas, if Brad can't pull it off then you may want to rethink things.)

However, I expect that the 40 degree days we've got coming our way will sort out the men from the boys. Maybe facial hair should just stick to coming out for one special month a year.

Here's to seeing some clean-shaven faces in summer. (Oh, but this guy can pull off manly facial hair.)
