Movember 2020: celebrating 20 years of dodgy tashes.

 This year there was a big Movember push at my school, and naturally, I was an enthusiastic participant:


Tom Selleck, did I hear you say? :-)

Slightly shocked by the amount of "salt" in my moustache, I was inspired to look back through my photo archives for pictures of my younger, darker-bearded self. And, given that my beard art article is still the most-read post on my blog, I figured it was time for another facial hair post. 

So, without further ado, let's pay tribute to 20 years' worth of manly facial hair:

2001 - late university/High-Density Beagles era:


"I have come to clean zee pool"

2002-2004 - RAAF era:


A tash was the only facial hair allowed in the RAAF, so I made the most of it.


"Demolition Man" - taken in 2002, but looks like it could be 1982...or even 1942

2008-2009 - Shanghai Second Polytechnic University era:

Poolside in Tarragona. "Como estan, ladies?"

It's amazing she married me really.

Channeling Stephen Wallace circa 1982

2015-2016 - Zhuhai International School era:

"We are the world..."

Movember 2020 Champion?

So there you have it. A tour through 20 years' worth (almost) of dodgy tashes. 

Last week at school, the students voted for their favourite moustaches. The winner will be revealed on Monday. 

Take a look at the entries below. Which mo would you vote for? Can you tell which one is mine?
