Out and about....Movember Monday

From Fashionistable

I have decided to start a Monday Man series. And what a better way to kick off than speaking about a month dedicated to the health of men - Movember.

In their own words Movember (the month formerly known as November) is a moustache growing charity event held during November each year that raises funds and awareness for men's health. Movember - a global movement
Since its humble beginnings in Melbourne, Australia Movember has grown to become a truly global movement inspiring more than 1.9 Million Mo Bros and Mo Sistas to participate with formal campaigns in Australia, New Zealand, the US, Canada, the UK, South Africa, Ireland, Finland, the Netherlands, Spain, Denmark, Norway, Belgium and the Czech Republic. In addition, Movember is aware of Mo Bros and Mo Sistas supporting the campaign and men’s health causes across the globe, from Russia to Dubai, Hong Kong to Antarctica, Rio de Janeiro to Mumbai, and everywhere in between.

When I met James he was out promoting Movember and Gillette with their "The best a Mo can get campaign". They have a pop up shop at 10 Newburgh Street, London, W1F 7RN Visitors will be given tips on how to style their moustache, and a luxury shaving experience, plus lots of other events happening during Movember. So guys if you fancy a bit of pampering and styling tips as you grow your Mo pop along and say hello. (This is not a sponsored post, just being a MoSister).

James is a model, his surprise for us is that he is a fully licensed racing driver. His favourite place in London is Brick Lane. Here he is wearing a Barbour jacket, Jaxon hat, everything else is Topman.

As this is the last day of Movember for this year, here are my MOustaches. A few weeks ago I put out a call for guys to come forward who were growing their tashes for Movember. I got an email straight away from the lovely Debs from MHP telling me that 10 of the guys from the agency were growing Movember MOustashes. On the day of the shoot only 3 could make it. It was great to meet Greg. Guy and Mike sporting their Movember tashes. You can donate all year. Here is the link again so you can to show your support too.

Movember - Raising awareness

From Fashionistable

While at a press day recently I was chatting to one of the lovely ladies from Iris Nation. When she told me they look after the PR for Movember I immediately asked how I could help. 5 years ago I was involved in a project for Breast Cancer. Since then however I have personally known a lot of men, uncles, in-laws, neighbours and friends who have fought the battle with prostrate cancer. Out of 8 only 2 are still alive. I have been wanting to do something in their honor for quite some time and it was wonderful to be sitting beside someone I could offer my services to.
It is great that the guys have a month dedicated to them now, like breast cancer the statistics are difficult reading
