Greetings and salutations to all! Are we all ready for another mega-excellent Movember week? Yes, of course we are.
I have many updates and announcements for you. The first of which is, after my hurricane-imposed hiatus, which I feared would be much longer, I’m back. Many big sloppy kisses, and some inappropriate groping, to everyone who posted kind thoughts for me.
Additional big sloppy kisses and inappropriate groping to the Bloggers for Movember crew: Becca, misslisted, Emily, Roller Giraffe, and I guess Le Clown deserves some props too.
Big sloppy kisses, inappropriate groping, and maybe a flash or two, to everyone who has already posted for Movember—we’re so lucky to have so many moving, inspiring, and/or entertaining posts, and contests too! If you’ve missed any of them, visit our Facebook page here, where you can find links and updates.
Be sure to visit Doggy’s Style and comment on this post-–for each comment he receives (except for lazy emoticon comments), he will donate 50 cents to Movember.
Also, The Middlest Sister is holding a contest where you can win one of her amazing fine art prints if you donate to the Bloggers for Movember team. The winner also gets to make a guest appearance in a comic in December! Go and check her out now if you haven’t already.
As a reminder, you can donate directly to the Bloggers for Movember Canada team here, or the USA team here. There’s still plenty of time! There’s no minimum donation amount; every penny counts. You don’t have to register to join as a team member to donate, but if you plan to participate in contests, you may need to join the appropriate team to qualify for blogger prizes. And there’s still plenty of time to put up Movember posts!
In other news, we’ve been extremely blessed to have The Bloggess tweet on our behalf. Thank you so much, Jenny!
We also received a message of thanks from Mr. Movember himself, Adam Garone, the Founder of Movember, on our Bloggers for Movember Facebook page. Thank YOU, Adam!
And if you haven’t done so already, please click on the image below to join us on Facebook:
To all of you gentlemen who are growing mustaches for Movember, we invite and encourage you to post photos of your lovely, furry upper lips on our Facebook page. We have created a Facebook album for your ‘staches, and Le Clown posted his:
Le Clown with a 10-day mustache.
Thanks to all of you—have a great week, my fellow Mo Bros and Sistas!
What about the Italian ladies growing a mustache? But not on purpose….so…never mind. We missed you! Heading over to the FB page right now.
Posted by La La | November 12, 2012, 07:26I can only speak for my half-Sicilian self, but my upper lip growth is already more impressive than Le Clown’s. How’s yours, La La?
Posted by Madame Weebles | November 12, 2012, 08:50Impressive. I am getting it waxed on Thursday because skype dates.
Posted by La La | November 12, 2012, 09:43Nice. Whatever you do, do NOT ever get your upper lip threaded. I cried like a little bitch.
Posted by Madame Weebles | November 12, 2012, 09:44Um that sounds awful. Noted.
Posted by La La | November 12, 2012, 09:55I donated to my friend kudos to him for giving it a go
Posted by Bruce Ruston | November 12, 2012, 07:34Right on, Bruce!
Posted by Madame Weebles | November 12, 2012, 08:50Oh dear, Doggy’s definitely going to go broke now.
Posted by Long Life Cats and Dogs | November 12, 2012, 08:12Poor guy. He’ll have to teach that dog some new tricks to earn some extra cash.
Posted by Madame Weebles | November 12, 2012, 08:51I’m on it, he either learns new tricks or looks for a place where he’ll get a free meal.
Thanks for the push, this is looking very promising.
Posted by Doggy's Style | November 12, 2012, 09:11I didn’t realize that you had been impacted by the hurricane. Hope all is well.
Posted by javaj240 | November 12, 2012, 08:16All is well as I sit in my warm, toasty, well-lit house now. Thanks, javaj!
Posted by Madame Weebles | November 12, 2012, 08:52Updating machine you are! I can’t wait to see everyone’s lip brows.
Posted by becca3416 | November 12, 2012, 08:43I know, I want to see all the men strut their stuff. And I’d like to see their mustaches, too.
Posted by Madame Weebles | November 12, 2012, 08:53I don’t know if I will be able to handle all the hairy goodness.
Posted by becca3416 | November 12, 2012, 09:29My mustache rivals Le Clown’s, and it’s only a three-day growth. I had to shave for school picture day.
Posted by speaker7 | November 12, 2012, 08:48I hated school picture day for just that reason.
Posted by Madame Weebles | November 12, 2012, 08:54Le Clown,
I’m not a gentleman, as you know.
Although I’m willing to help raise awareness + funds.
That’s why this is what I’ll do: http://mimickingourselves.wordpress.com/2012/11/12/because-i-cant-grow-a-mo/
Posted by mmkng | November 12, 2012, 08:53Hello, Mimicking! Le Clown will be extremely pleased by your getting the ex to grow a mo. I think that’s a very clever way of putting an ex to good use.
Posted by Madame Weebles | November 12, 2012, 09:00I’m very pleased to read this now.
Thank you, Madame Weebles
Posted by mmkng | November 12, 2012, 11:20Donated to friends–and, what is that growth on the right side of LeClown’s head?
Posted by Addie | November 12, 2012, 10:22I had to look at the pic again to see the “growth”.
I lolled.
Thanks
Posted by TAE | November 12, 2012, 10:41Glad I could make you lol–cause it made me giggle.
Posted by Addie | November 12, 2012, 12:28Addie,
That is an institution here in Montreal called the Orange Julep. Here’s a better picture.
Le Clown
Posted by Le Clown | November 12, 2012, 11:22Whew.
Posted by Addie | November 12, 2012, 12:27That looks like a fun place to go. And it’s shaped like a giant orange!
Posted by Madame Weebles | November 12, 2012, 21:34I’d like to inform everyone that the Gmail (G+) image modification toolbox has some mustaches that you can put on an avatar pic. Maybe it would be nice to do that for the rest of the month.
Posted by TAE | November 12, 2012, 10:22I thought I should do it myself and write an unhelpful post about it:

Posted by TAE | November 12, 2012, 10:35Au contraire, TAE—your post is very helpful indeed. Thank you!!
Posted by Madame Weebles | November 12, 2012, 21:35I am in awe of the sheer greatness of The Middlest Sister’s prize. That print may actually be worth something someday!
Posted by The Waiting | November 12, 2012, 11:45Right?? That’s a real legit prize for sure, Emily!
Posted by Madame Weebles | November 12, 2012, 21:36My feather-light ladystache salutes you!
Posted by Lyssapants | November 12, 2012, 15:52Yours is feather-light? Man, you’re lucky. I already look like a 15-year-old Italian boy after just a few days.
Posted by Madame Weebles | November 12, 2012, 21:37Bleach and wax, my friend. Bleach and wax.
Posted by Lyssapants | November 12, 2012, 23:02Thanks for all the updates,Madame! I need to get cracking on my Movember post.
Posted by The Bumble Files | November 12, 2012, 16:11I have to get cracking on mine too, Bumble!
Posted by Madame Weebles | November 12, 2012, 21:38Ongoing praise for your Movember effort.
Posted by aFrankAngle | November 12, 2012, 18:50Ongoing thanks, Frank!
Posted by Madame Weebles | November 12, 2012, 21:40I have been the laziest Movemberer around.. I need to get doing shit. Although, can I ask why you have to run a thousand miles for breast cancer and you only have to grow a mustache for Movember? Dudes have this stuff really worked out.
Posted by rollergiraffe | November 12, 2012, 21:02Seriously, what’s that about? It’s discrimination, that’s what it is. DISCRIMINATION. UNFAIR. SEXISM. It’s also BULLSHIT.
Posted by Madame Weebles | November 12, 2012, 21:42Totally. Next year I am just going to grow out my boob hair in October.
Posted by rollergiraffe | November 12, 2012, 21:52Stop it, you’re killing me.
Posted by Madame Weebles | November 12, 2012, 21:55Are we not supposed to talk about boob hair in public? I never know what is too much.
Posted by rollergiraffe | November 12, 2012, 21:58Well, maybe on blogs it’s okay, but I’ve learned the hard way that it’s a real turnoff on first dates.
Posted by Madame Weebles | November 12, 2012, 22:00It’s a damn good thing I don’t have to date anymore. I would totally just read out my blog comments to people to showcase my sparkling personality.
Posted by rollergiraffe | November 12, 2012, 22:03I still read my blog comments out loud to people anyway. It’s the only way I can convince people that I have a sense of humor.
Posted by Madame Weebles | November 12, 2012, 22:10Great to have you back Weebly. I donated directly to the Canadian team at the beginning of the month.
Posted by writerwendyreid | November 13, 2012, 15:39You’re the tops, Mistress Wendy.
Posted by Madame Weebles | November 13, 2012, 19:46I actually prefer to be the bottom….hehehe
Posted by writerwendyreid | November 13, 2012, 20:35I *knew* you would say something like that.
