What is Reverse Movember?



I’ve had facial hair for close to 2 decades.  Sometimes it’s a goatee, sometimes it’s a full beard, but it’s been a long time since my chin has seen the light of day.  Well, now I’ve found a great reason to show off my chin again!!!

November is Movember!  It’s the month where we draw attention to Men’s health issues.
In the past, it’s focused on testicular cancer.  But now the Movember Foundation is also addressing prostate cancer and mental health / suicide prevention. 

All of these causes deserve our attention and our funds.  Since I’m fully bearded, growing a moustache is a little anticlimactic.  Then it hit me….

WHY NOT DO A REVERSE MOVEMBER????

What this means is that as I reach certain fundraising goals, I will shave my facial hair into new and unique styles until it’s all gone.  You and you alone will determine how many follicles are trimmed and how cold my face will be during the holidays.  To donate, click on this link and donate ANY amount you’d like.  Be it $5 to $1000, every little bit helps the cause.  You can monitor my progress at my personal Movember link here to see where we are and an updated photo of the hairstyle.

So….

What are the goals and what style will I sport as we reach each goal?

$400 – The Union General - The center of the chin is shaved and the hair beneath is removed.  So the lush sideburns grow down and merge with an extended moustache

$600 – The Old School Biker - Two clear-cut ranges are created, separating the mutton chops from the horseshoe moustache

$800 – The Wild West Sheriff – The classic bushy Western moustache.  Shaggy, slightly shorter than the Horseshoe, think Sam Elliott in the Big Lebowski, Tombstone and… well almost anything Sam Elliott has been in over the past 25 years

$1,000 – The Ron Swanson / Magnum P.I. -  The classic substantial stache, reined in by the cheekbones

$1,200 – The Snidley Whiplash – A slightly thinner moustache, but curled up at the end with a sneer

$1,500 – The Vincent Price / John Waters – I will whittle down the facial hair to a pencil-thin wisp of a stache.  Dear GOD, don’t leave me here long

$1750 – The New Born Baby / Jason Bateman -  We’ll remove all facial hair for the first time in 20 years! I’ll be smooth and clean-shaven like Jason Bateman.  I kind of look like Jason Bateman, with an extra 60-70 pounds.

$2,500 – The Mohawk – If we reach the $1750 goal, why stop there!!!  Since there will be no more facial hair, we’ll move north and we’ll remove some locks on the sides.  We’ll leave a mohawk in place and if we have an impressive donor, I may allow you to choose a color.

$3,500 – The Lex Luthor –  If you all thoroughly impress me and we reach this goal, I’m going cueball bald.  That way the beard and hair can be the same length as they grow out again.

So force me to shave every hair off my head by donating whatever you can at the link below.  Thanks so much for any support you can give!
