Hey, did you know it’s National beard Month?
Wikipedia says…
It is quite common for some males in Australia (especially in the city of Melbourne), and New Zealand to sport a moustache during the month of November. The custom being known as Movember (Movember is a portmanteau of the words ‘Moustache’ and ‘November’.), and being a fundraising event for men’s health issues. One’s fashionable appearance often comes second to the calling of Movember. A similar observance in the United States and Canada, called Novembeard or No Shave November, involves a full beard as opposed to a mustache.
Emily Temple at FavorWire has a a piece called “The 15 Scariest (and Most Culturally Relevant) Beards of All Time”.
My favorite: Brigham Young…
hmmm…scary and culturally relevant, I reckon.
By the way, according to Wiki, November is also Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month, National Novel Writing Month, Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month, Transgender Awareness Month, American Diabetes Month, Lung Cancer Awareness Month, National Homeless Youth Awareness Month, Crohn’s & Ulcerative Colitis Awareness Month, and the month dedicated to the Holy Souls in Purgatory in the Roman Catholic Church and…..National Pomegranate Month!
