In case you wanted more from our previous round-up of the moustaches from the Ladies Shipway.

Like what they’re doing? Give to their Mini Movember campaign!

Moustaches: Fun for the whole family

Is purple Amelie’s best mo-colour? Very possibly. We wouldn’t be surprised if she started a new trend where hipster dudes with real grown moustaches dye them with Manic Panic.

The Lorax might be our favourite.

Naturally resourceful.

This one’s all about the good deeds.

Hello Mo.

Got Mo?

The Ned Flanders + oversize sunglasses are an inspired combination. Nice use of the Mini Movember app!

What have our Mini Movember ambassadors been up to?

So far Nici and Amelie have taken their mo’s to the movies, Ikea, raking leaves and even out to a pumpkin parade. They’re posting a new image for every day of Movember and we think that’s pretty great. Apparently we’re not the only ones who think they’re great, as their Movember fundraising is up to $224. See for yourself:

Remember, fake moustaches are a lot of fun, but Amelie and Nici are doing it to raise money for prostate cancer research. You can donate to them and the whole Mini Movember team here! Better yet, join us!

‘Stache crafts rule

Mo’ mug:

November is a month for toasty drinks in oversized mugs. Why not slap a mo’ on that mug and make it festive for Movember? For a simple mo’ mug, buy any ceramic mug or cup from the dollar store. Cut out a mo from our style guide, and trace it onto the outside of the mug with permanent marker. Paint in with porcelain paint. Let dry. Or, trace a template over the underside of a piece of craft fur or felt. Cut out the mo’ and hot glue it to the glass or mug. Now raise your goblet and toast to Movember!

Mo’ that fam!:

Movies that show great mo’

How will you celebrate Movember? We urge you to let your mo’ grow, but there are other ways to honour this month-long event for prostate cancer awareness. You can make some ‘stache mask crafts for one thing. But when it’s time to unwind, we suggest you brush up on these family classics that showcase praiseworthy mo’s.

1. Three Men and a Little Lady (1990)

Tom Selleck’s ‘stache was perhaps the most iconic of the late 80’s. It is literally right in the very middle of this movie poster. For good reason, we say. This heart-warming comedy portrays an unconventional family dynamic with lots of adventure and a cute-as-a-button little leading lady.

2. The Addams Family (1991)

Even after Halloween, this cult classic retains its charm. Gomez Addams’ thin, French-ish little ‘stache is an integral part of his mysterious style. With Angelica Houston as Morticia, the pair is totally hilarious and heart warming.  Read more...

What better way to celebrate Movember than by crafting your own mini mo’ shaped treats?

Sweet and sticky substances that can be sculpted into different shapes are ideal for creating ‘stache shaped pops. Here are 3 options:

Tootsie Roll Stache Pops:

Tootsie rolls are totally malleable when heated, so they’re great for molding into a swirly ‘stache. First, print some cardboard templates of ‘staches you’d like to carve your pops around.

Unwrap a package of long tootsies rolls and melt them in a microwaveable bowl for about 3 minutes or until they’ve lost their shape completely. Wait till the mixture isn’t too hot to handle. Roll out onto a flat surface and shape into a ball. Using a rolling pin spread the ”dough” to a ½ inch thickness. Using a template, cut stache shapes out of the tootsie roll dough with a pairing knife. Stick a lollipop stick (available at most kitchen supply / dollar stores) onto one side of the stache, and fasten it with more of the melted tootsies roll. Let cool on a flat surface till hard. To see the process in action, check out this video.  Read more...

They’re doing a new fake moustache everyday for Movember

Nici Shipway and her daughter Amelie have signed up for Movember, despite their inability to grow their own ‘staches. Instead, they’re posting a new picture every day this month with a faux-mo. They’re also our Mini Movember ambassadors.

Why did you two sign up for Movember?

A few months ago, we were sitting around and I asked Amelie what she wanted to do. She said “Do you want to draw moustaches on eachother?” and I realized that she was into moustaches. I think moustaches are a lot of fun so this is a great way to bring awareness and raise some money for men’s health. It’s just a fun thing to do together, especially now when she’s young and has no problem having her picture taken with a fake moustache.  Read more...
