However, as "legit" as my costume may have been, I was clearly overshadowed by those who obviously spent in excess of $100 to get outfitted for the night. I'm on a tuna fish budget, I can't eat caviar. I lost. But it got me thinking about next year (yes, there will be a next year, and it will be bigger and badder than this year, I guarantee it). I have to start planning like, tonight. I saw a Hulk Hogan, one of my childhood heroes (I have the red Hulkamania hat to prove it) that made me want to bust a leg drop on the guy dressed as Jake the Snake Roberts with a rubber snake around his neck, a Ringo Starr that made me want to sing Yellow Submarine, a NASCAR team with a champagne celebration that made me want to purchase a 12-pack or Budweiser and sit in front of a TV all Sunday, and a Frida Kahlo that made me want to throw up. Wait, a Frida Kahlo? Yes, there was a woman dressed as Frida Kahlo, and SHE won Movember MAN OF THE YEAR! Don't get me wrong, her costume was amazing, from the uni-brow to the mustache, it all looked real. I mean, she even had a little stuffed monkey on her shoulder! But the fact that she put that costume on Friday afternoon, and the other hundreds of men who usually do not sport a mustache walked around with one for 35 days, leered at by mothers on the subway, avoided by women at the bars and harassed by family, friends and co-workers everywhere yet she still won, did not sit well with me. But we move on.
Major League Moustachers had a great run, and you still have until December 9th to donate. So, if you would like to donate $1 or $100, please see the links to the side and donate to the individual of your choice. Thanks for the all the support over the last 37, it has been tremendous.
I leave you with a small token of my appreciation, a little something I like to call my Movember Montage. Enjoy!
