Dancing with the stars

Double mo-time on the airplano!

The 3 y/o, Drew, who wanted to grow up. So i helped him out with a fancy upside-down mo of his own :)

Mom & moustache dad. This is the more than the most most facial hair he has ever had, his whole life, stored up and glued together.

We can clearly see who the manliest of the Paat children are.

Brian is not as scared of my face after getting used to it for a whole month.

Grandma did NOT want my facial hair by her. But I prevailed!

This is Bob. He is awesome. AND from Chicago. go Bob!

I'm taking the moustache out to a play tonight.

Don't be fooled... my family IS very embarrassed to be associated with me.

Mom & molauren

The 3 manly Paat kids... I AM the oldest, my moustache just accentuates my elderly status.

I've been looking for a moustache to braid all month.

Madison & Mo

The priest on the island. I embarrassed my grandma by wearing a mo to church. sorry grandma...

My dad is very supportive of the facial hair growing.

My stache seems to be getting bigger...

2009-11-21T00:41:00.003-06:00

This is the killer moustache.

I was sitting at my desk, when my moustache practically jumped down my throat.

..making me choke for ages.

stupid moustache.

what a few extra hairs can do.

2009-11-20T00:28:00.004-06:00

Natalia decided that wearing a moustache for a month will help you meet more people in a new city than you would in a year without a mo. hence, "what a few extra hairs can do"

Woman in store:
"(your moustache) makes my skin crawl!"
"itsn't it kinnda gross?"
Natalia: "yeah, i'm growing my armpit hair, but you can't see it"
woman: "where do you get fake moustaches?"
Natalia: "at a fake moustache store!" ..duh

They have candy moustaches at Candyality. you'll want to eat it right off this random woman's face :p

The woman at the hair straightening stand in the mall, couldn't keep her hands off my moustache. she even asked if she can curl it for me. hehe
hair woman: "YOU LOOK LIKE BORAT!"

The turkish people in the lego store were very intrigued.

and lego store man loooooooved it. go lego man!

Natalia created lego-molauren and lego-stella

This is Tyson. he is a mobro from rockit!!!!!

The lego family. :)

the licorice pipe family! :D

John's caption.. "come hither and give me a kiss"

more comments: "whoa! too much testosterone?"
bus driver: "thank you señor"

people can be mean.

I was in the elevator, watching the doors close... then some guy walked by and pointed at me, laughed, and called me 'aunt bunny' I didn't know what that was in reference to, but Matt thought it was hilarious. Apparently it's an Eddie Murphy thing.

Then as i was waiting for another elevator, a guy says to me, "WOW! THAT'S NOT RIGHT!!!"
It was so sad!!! :'(

it's a Mo morning

2009-11-18T10:55:00.003-06:00

Random woman on the train before i explained about movember. how rude.

Random woman on train after i explained movember. Now we're friends!

Devin's moustache has rubbed off on the women of the house. GO GIRLS!!!

Some people LOVE moustache kisses!!!

2009-11-16T21:05:00.003-06:00

Question.. Is it weird to kiss a girl with a moustache?
..Sirius says no!

Time for a mo trim.

2009-11-15T22:23:00.003-06:00

At brunch today, everyone kept looking at me, but only a teeny tiny few ppl said anything or even smiled. what a bummer. It made me feel like i need to wear a movember shirt or something. So as i was waiting to be seated, i was thinking that 7/8 of all ppl who see me, just think i'm some funny and weird girl with facial hair. What else should i do to make the moustache make a connection with movember for ppl who don't actually get to speak with me? I will think on this. Let me know if you have any ideas other than just wearing it on my shirt.
On the brighter side, today I gave out Movember sticker moustaches to so many ppl who asked about my stache!! It seemed like this sunday was filled with more curious ppl than most other days. Jessa and I counted the cars of ppl who stared at the stache while walking down the street... about 15 in a row. If i cause a car accident, this project's over.

The waiters at Nookies Tree restaraunt were very supporters of movember.

My FIRST moustache trim!!!!!!!!!!!!!! scary.....

Sweet Movember supporter on the train.

Kevin's moustache photoshoot. Maybe more pics of this to come. let's hope :D

ppl with moustaches have all the fun

2009-11-14T23:33:00.006-06:00

The woman at Floyds has an AWESOME mo tattoo on her finger!!! - thanks for your donation!!!

All the dogs love the moustache :D What a beautiful day.

The first thing ppl notice is the cute dog. Then they see the caterpillar on my face.

The Adidas store on Rush were all mo supporters!! YOU GUYS ROCK!

And in the Adidas store... i found the FIRST person outside of Burnett who knew about MOVEMBER! Go random person!!
Ms. Thompson is sporting a stylish MOVEMBER stache. :)
Jessa joined me for the day with a fuzzy face too! The funniest thing happened.. At the Adidas store, Jessa and I were talking to the staff about Movember. Then another guy comes up behind us and was so relieved to hear that jessas stache was fake. Apparently, from the second floor, it looked overly real. HA!

There were so many Mo supporters tonight!! Look at those enthusiastic ppl at Trader Joes!

And to top off the night, I got to meet Elvis. wow i'm lucky! So it seems, the moral of today is that ppl with moustaches have all the fun.

2009-11-14T00:44:00.002-06:00

"very nice. how much?" ... just one of many things ppl yelled at me tonight. It was hilarious.

The youngest mo-man

2009-11-13T11:00:00.003-06:00

HE DID IT! And i'm so proud of him!!!!
He even made his own shirt!!!
Also, he is SOOOOOOOO ADORABLE!!!
GO KYLE!!!!!

John, this is the greatest donation i've received yet... your son :)

2009-11-13T00:12:00.002-06:00

2009-11-12T23:56:00.003-06:00

They are the smartest, cutest family... and they all happen to wear moustaches!

..dad wears one :)

the cute 9 year old wears one (and he has borrowed one to wear it to school tomorrow!!! He said, "if anyone asks why, i'm going to tell them it's for movember" HOW COOL!!)

...The smart videographer sports a lego stache...

..even the lego men have them!!!!

and the pinnacle of the night, not only does the lady of the house sport a nice thick mo... BUT HER HUSBAND STILL KISSES HER WITH IT ON!!! That is commitment there!!! (ahem... brian...)

wow.

Dan the man has been growing a blonde moustache. "black haired ppl are so lucky" says dan the man. So today is MASCARA DAY... we turned Dan's bondie into a blackie :)

As a parent, you know you're doing a good job raising your kids when they start to imitate the awesome things you try to do yourself. As a movember fundraiser person, you know you're doing good, not by the money you raise, but by how many other girls you can get to wear moustaches in public. THANK YOU FOR THE GRAPE FLAVORED WAX MOUSTACHE!!! It's the best gift i could ask for in this month :)

There was a giant dog on state street who was really interested in my moustache. Looking back at it, i should have given him one to complete his ensemble. drat. next time.

Waiting for the train, a little boy said to me, "you're rockin that moustache!" ..thank you young man. :D Also while waiting for the train, i turned around and there was a teenage girls face in my face. Then she said (rather loudly) to her friend, "that's not real!!!" It was really funny, and i didn't mind. But what if it had been real???

A night out

2009-11-11T23:01:00.009-06:00

Pics with the supportive ppl around me at work!!

It is so hard to eat garlic pasta... and keep it clean.

at the end of each day, Stella loves to lick lunch and dinner off my 'flavor saver'. ewwww.

Outside of the bar, 2 girls walked by and one gave me a 'hell yeah' sign with her hand.
I just thought she was like all the other ppl doing the same thing, but as she walked closer and passed me, i realized that she had a REAL baby moustache!!! I felt bad... like i was mocking her. I don't think she gave it a second thought though.

At La Nueva Mexicana, my moustache scared a little girl. what a sad day for me... i LOVE kids!!! I can usually make them smile, not shy away.

We thought that i would fit in well at a mexican restaraunt, but i had the biggest moustache of anyone eating or working there!
I went to use the restroom, and the women's room was full. One of the waiters let me in the mens bathroom, saying 'you're a man tonight, so its ok' haha! nice.

Hey Wink, thanks for the biggest laugh ever :)

a moustache brings a thousand smiles

2009-11-10T21:38:00.004-06:00

as a girl wearing a moustache, i have many things to say...

Mustaches are sooooo itchy!

Older women keep staring at me and not laughing or smiling, their stare basically says "why are you disrupting society?"

People keep pointing to their own upper lip as we pass. Many of them even add the caption "do you know you have something here?" duh.

People on the street have replaced asking me for money, with a giant grin :)

When a gym says that they don't judge you... IT'S SO TRUE!! while taking a class at the gym today, nobody stared, laughed or even flinched that i was wearing a big furry pink thing on my face. awesome.

Wearing this thing makes me eat differently. I had an apple this evening, and i had to eat it with my bottom teeth b/c eating it normally interfered with my moustache. and on that note... moustaches are so dirty!! every time i eat, i have to wipe off the bottom of my 'stache. i know it has the nickname 'flavor savor' but i vote EEEEWWWW.
The nurses at the doctors office loved the pink moustache :)

I was ordering a bagel, and the woman waited until i was paying to say, "do you know you have something on your face?" wow. maybe b/c it's pink. Yesterday i was a little sad after so many ppl pointed and laughed at me, but now i'm ok. I counteract their pointing with a smile and a wave. works great.
see you tomorrow! and don't forget to support the cause and donate! http://us.movember.com/mospace/304780
thank you.
