It’s that time of year again, where I seem to be met by an unusually high number of scraggly looking men with scruffy facial hair and fu manchu moustaches.

If you don’t know what I am talking out – it’s Movember. Each year, Movember is the excuse used by men around the world to grow facial hair – much to the general disgust of their wives or girlfriends who have to walk around with him whilst he proudly struts his Mo.

A Mo for a cause

Luckily, it’s all in the name of a good charity and secretly I think the ladies like a little bit of facial hair (if only a little bit). Those partaking in the facial-hair-fun are encouraged to seek donations from friends and family to help raise funds for mens health. In New Zealand, the money goes to mental health and prostate cancer awareness, amongst other men’s health related things.

I have been a part of Movember in the past, but this year I have not let my facial hair run wild; however, a group of people that I work with have been hard at work growing some fancy Mo’s.

Today is the last day for Movember, so I gathered the team together to take some portraits of the finished moustaches.
