Mo'vember

Ooh haven't I been a bad blogger. Who's a bad blogger? Me.. me.. that's who. Been flitting about all over the place - playing music, having fun, working a bit.. and not keeping y'all informed. Sorry. Now on to the topic at hand.

Introduction

It's Mo'vember. I'm participating. It's all in a good cause; men's health. You can read about it here.

So at the beginning of the month I was clean-shaven - or at least as clean-shaven as I ever get in public (see right). That means.. about days worth of stubble - a light sprinkling - nothing too serious at all.

Design Phase

I decided at the outset that I wanted to go for a kinda "Carlos the Jackal" (assassin) combined with a "John Wayne Gacy" (serial killer):


Not that I can even find a decent picture of Carlos the Jackel with a mustache; he really was the master of disguise, I guess. I hope this one (above, left) with the well-groovy glasses will suffice.

Implementation Phase

Now, one week in, we have the beginnings of mo'. As you can see (left) I have not quite achieved the desired aesthetic effect - more of a 1970s undercover cop thing going on.

However, all is not lost; this possibly may be able to be groomed into a fully-stylish Grizz Wylie (right) - we shall see.

Stay tuned.
