My mother, who gets the majority of her pop culture education from talk radio and likes to claim she’s “hip,” recently pulled out a shocking bit of on-trend knowledge by reminding me that it’s Mo’vember–the month of mustaches!
As of late, mustaches have been gaining in popularity rank right up there with zombies and ninjas in the hipster cannon of “the now” I’m not certain how I missed this one.
And after getting a look at the official Mo’vember Web site, I can’t believe it’s not getting more press. Their Web site is FANTASTIC and obviously designed by *gasp* a graphic designer. The logo? *Swoon*
And the kicker is that it’s all for charity, prostate and testicular cancer and whatnot. Watch out pink ribbon. Mo’vember is coming for YOU.
In fact, my only real qualm is that there isn’t actually an apostrophe in the name, which without proper context I’d probably read as Mooooovember. If the AP style guide is going to force me to write Web site as two word and capitalize one of them, I’m taking liberties AND creative license with Mo’vember and there’s nothing anyone can do about it.
