This mo’tograph looks like something you would see on the news in regards to a smarmy individual abusing himself in the bushes outside zoos. If you see this man, please call the SPCA…

Ok, it’s not really that bad, but I hate the way it feels on my face. I am so looking forward to December 1st when I can rid myself of this grim thing. It actually looks like it needs a trim.

Here’s today’s video. I whipped it up over at xtranormal.com. Meet Dirty Dave Sanchez, here he gives his take on Movember:

Thanks Dave!

This thing on my face is starting to itch and feels quite dirty. It took every ounce of my resolve not to hack the thing off my face this morning while shaving. I did have a job interview too, but, as they were forewarned about my creepy school teacher look, I could not use that as a valid excuse. Here we have today’s yuckiness:

And I am listening to Volaré in Italian (of course).

#Movember 15: Halfway Through

It has been 15 days since I started growing the mo’ for Movember. We’re halfway through the month and my face is itchy and feels dirty. I have an interview for a gig tomorrow and have already warned them that what they are going to see is not my typical presentation. Meaning, ignore the fact that I seemingly have forgotten to wash under my nose.

Looks rather ethereal tonight. My official mo’tographer, Carol, cannot restrict herself to the plain old forensic looking straight on moustache shot and has to get creative. Although nice it doesn’t really show of the mo’. At least I don’t look fat.

The real reason for all the fuzz:

I was kind of hoping to be hairier by now. Maybe a little Freddy Fender, like in the stalker-esque toon, Wasted Days and Wasted Nights:

Jeepers! What’s with that helmet of hair?

Don’t for get to enter the contest for a pair of Official Movember Cuff Links. You know you want ’em.

BB Gabor – Soviet Jewelry (audio only)

Audio only of BB Gabor’s – Soviet Jewelry (Nyet Nyet Soviet) from July 1980. It was one of my favorite tunes on the Canadian LP version of K-Tel’s “Rock 80”, the only other place I have ever heard it.

#Movember 14th: A Hairy European

Today I look like some kind of hairy European. You know, the kind who smell of cigarettes and sardines. Yeah, that kind. Blech…

There is actually a reason I am growing a mo’ and posting pictures of it:

Trillions

This is a short film (a fast paced preview of a larger effort) by MAYA Design created to put some perspective on the invisible but fast approaching challenges and opportunities in the pervasive computing age.

#Movember 13: A Contest and a Finger

My cat just had his belly shaved two days ago and seems to have more hair on it than my upper lip after 13 days:

movember-13th

My nose hairs are longer. At least my finger is not in there.

Speaking of fingers. My friend, film and television director Ron Oliver, pointed out to me today that early detection via a prostate exam goes a long way toward saving lives. He went on to say that I should let my readers know that a finger up the ass does not make you gay.

Ron is gay.

I’m just sayin’.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Just get the exam. Doctors are gentle. At least the one who did mine was.

Speaking of  Movember, I am going to be running a little contest! Thanks to Arbitrage Clothing in New York one lucky person will be sporting a pair of official Movember Cuff Links designed by Movember founder, Adam Garone (on twitter), and Arbitrage Clothing founder and designer, Alan Chan (on twitter and who I will be interviewing here on this blog within the next week or so). There are four beautiful designs to choose from on the Arbitrage web store each costing $65 USD, $20 of which goes directly to the Movember charity. Shipping and returns are free. Yes, they do ship internationally to Australia, Canada, UK, New Zealand, Ireland, etc.

Here’s what a pair of these bad boys looks like:

And they look pretty smart when performing their intended function as well:

Movember Cuff Links by Arbitrage - look sharp

Nice huh? You know you want ’em.

If you really do want these links send an email to movember@mikebrowne.com with the subject line ‘Movember Cuff Links’ with your name, email and full mailing address (I promise not to spam you) and send me a picture of you with a mo’ along with your permission to post it with your first name, last initial, town/city and state/province. If you have a web site, send me the link to that too, but is not required. I will post the most creative mo’ pictures I get. ONE (1) entry per person.

I don’t care if you Photoshop a mo’ on your face because the ladies are going to have to as this contest is open to them too. At least I would hope they would have to. Yeesh.

All entries must be received by midnight of Friday, November 27, 2009 and I will draw and make the announcement on this blog on Saturday, November 28th, 2009. I will ship these anywhere in the world, just make sure you give me your proper address so you can be sure to get them.

Good luck!
