...are you ready for Mustache March, gentlemen?
Last year I posted about this glorious time when our friend David rallies the gentlemen of Greenville together to raise money for a good cause, all while engaging in a once trendy, now hilarious facial hair display - the mustache. David has been traveling out of the country for a few months with no official return date, so imagine my excitement when my facebook account alerted me of the invite to the "3rd Annual Darty Stache Bash", thus securing his return, as well as marking another historic milestone in day party ridiculousness on Swanson Court. As I started reading, I couldn't help but laugh at the rules and this years awards. Though March officially starts Friday, facial hair of any variety is allowed until March 15th, after which point only a mustache is allowed. David defined a mustache as an island of hair that is at least 1cm (root to root) from the nearest body of facial hair. As we saw in last years competition, the possibilities are endless with your design. The invite also encourages all ladies to please come bare witness to what fine men our community will represent at the Darty (Day Party) on the 30th - the finale of Mustache March.
This Years New Award Categories (per the invite):
Best of Show
The name basically sums it up. This award is reserved for the most spectacular specimen produced over the course of the month. This is utterly subjective to the judge's personal opinion, no matter how revealing that may be.
Most Disturbing
When you look at this mustache, goosebumps will appear in places you didn't know you had follicles. If you saw a layman on the street with this mustache, you'd warn other peoples children about this man.
Most Fitting
Sometimes the stars align and a man becomes something... more, with a mustache. This award is given to the mustache that makes a man greater than the sum of his otherwise wholly inadequate parts.
Dirtlip Award
The little follicles that couldn't. The recipient of this award can only take solace in the fact that this is all for charity.
Besides raging for a day and possibly laughing at our friends for the majority of the month, the main goal of it all is to raise money for charity. All the fine faces that show up to Davids at the end of the month donate at least $20 to have a good time and this year portions of the proceeds will help provide fresh produce to needy children of our community with Project Host Soup Kitchen. Ellen Hines Smith Girl's Home will also be included in this years donations (www.spgirlshome.com), as well as The Children Shelter of the Upstate (www.childrenshelterupstate.org). So you see, it's all in legitimate good fun. Looking forward to see what some of these guys come up with.... and possibly with what they don't.
