The Moustache Collective

Because lip sweaters make it better. Victoria, B.C.

My dad ended up raising nearly $4000 for Movember this year, and I couldn't be more proud. Cancer can suck it. Here are my favourite shots from our shoot together, we just had so much fun goofing around, and I think it really shows. Photography is my passion, and I'm so excited my dad got to be a part of this project! This man is my everything, my inspiration to do what I love and follow my dreams, and does nothing short of support me no matter what. Family first, forever.  Love, Dee xx

BEARDVEMBER - it's a thing. We scoped out this beard Chris earlier in the day, but he was regretfully walking on the wrong side of the road - luckily, as fate would have it, we ended up crossing paths about 10 minutes later. Keeping unshaven dream alive. -B&D xx

Man bun + facial hair - the ultimate combination.

Because my dad has such a way with words - I'm just going to quote him word for word:  "Well it's down to the last week as Beau and I compete for 'best Mo 2014'. I definitively have the upper hand!!

1. Handlebars are manly 2. The 'frosty' tips are looking good. 3. Beau's Mo is looking weak this year 4. Dog breath 5. His one bent ear looks ridiculous  6. He NEVER shows up with wine!!! 7. Did I say; dog breath!?! Vote for Peter!!  If you have been thinking of donating, weekend is a great time go to;http://mobro.co/vintagemos Feel free to share on your FB page. Guys over 40 go get checked!! It did the world for me and my family!!" WHO WILL WIN? I will keep you posted. And dad, you're KILLING the handlebars. Beau looks embarrassed. Love, Deezy

You gotta love the Mo + beard combo. TBH the more facial hair, the better.

Now we don't want to alarm you or anything, but we spotted your all-too-respectable Stache and legitimately ran to catch up...  just swooped in on either side. Bet you didn't even know what hitchya! But just LOOK at that fantastic Lip Sweater (and Stephen, you're not too bad on the eyes either).   Stephen has been rocking a Moustache for over a decade, not just one measly month a year - for LIFE, like any honourable man would! And we hope you follow suit... no, we urge you to follow suit. Love,  B&D

This rad roadside busker was just oozing bohemia as he serenaded all who passed him by. Of course, we stopped to take in the tunes and snap a quick pic. And with a surname like Forest, you know he's got that west coast mo'tential. -B&D

I'll leave this here, just in case...

Mr. Pat "the Burt" O'Neil everyone.

Pat walked into his living room unsuspecting of what was about to happen. Eyeing up the moustache that was already part of his facial attire we suggested (okay, maybe demanded) that he partake in Movember since he was already half way there. It really only took about 5 minutes before the sound of running water could be heard coming from the bathroom. Next thing you know, Pat is sporting a solid stache and is definitely in the running for the lip sweater of the month! 

Thanks Pat for doing us a solid by joining the cause... and for putting up with me while I practiced my newly learned flash skills. ;)

Love,

Breezy & Deezy

Can a moustache change your life?

Here is a useful diagram to show the varying effects growing a Mo can have on your life. My personal fave would be the transformation between geriatric and genious. What's yours?

Don't you hate it when your upper lip gets cold?

You know what they say! You always remember your first. Tomas was our first willing Stache laden lad to pose for a quick pic! He told us he had participated in Movember a few years ago and has been rocking a Moustace ever since! Power to you Tom, power to you. To be honest, we hope more men follow in your facial hair'd footsteps. Tom doesn't have a Mo space this year, as far as we know - but was kind enough to pose for us anyways. How could we pass that lip sweater by without snapping a photo? Impossible.  Thank you so much for participating, and please share! If you're interested in donating to to cause, us mo sista's have a page here: http://ca.movember.com/mospace  Love, Breezy & Deezy

Who is this stone-cold silver fox, Mo laden, handsome man you ask? Welp, he is my dad. As of April 2015 he will be seven (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) years prostate cancer free. He is my inspiration behind this blog. He is a survivor, and he kicked cancer right in the teeth - where it counts. The bottom photo is him and his bestie Les Jung just KILLING it, Movember of 2011 (*photographer currently unknown).  You can check out his Mo Space here to donate: http://ca.movember.com/mospace/1121994 Papa Pete is a No Shave November veteran; I will continue to post his Mogress throughout the month as him and my dog Beau battle it out for the title of best Lip Sweater. Beau is currently undefeated, for obvious reasons. Stay tuned! Love, D.

We hit the streets of Victoria yesterday, in a glorious search for all the babely men rocking their moustaches and beards alike. While we are rooting for Lip Sweaters this month, we decided to feature No Shave November beard laden men as well. Regardless of whether you honour your beautiful & bountiful facial hair just for the month, or the preferable alternative - 12 MONTHS A YEAR - we are happy to have you featured on our blog. Our goal is to raise awareness, so the more men we have on here, the more people will see our blog - and ideally, the more people will donate to the cause. And in a perfect world you'll inspire other, lesser men, to grow  sexy Staches and bodacious beards of their own ;)  Thank you to our willing participants yesterday, we commend you, and we are rooting for you. Photos to be posted very soon! It's ALL happening!!! Love, Breezy & Deezy

Endless possibilities.
