Undecided about growing this year?

For all of you undecided growers out there. There is a website that I found that may show you how good you will look with a mustache by the end of the month. I hope this may convince a couple more growers. So all of you unsure growers Check it out. And if you are a female and you ever wondered how you would look with a stache, this will show you how good it would look.

We just went all Presidential on you!

Thanks to Chad at Harris Fire and his skill and savvy at Photo Shop we have updated The Whisker Report to more of a Patriotic theme this year.  Riding the Obama wave of HOPE we have updated our favorite mustaches to resemble the now well known Obama HOPE poster.

T-Shirts and Mugs are on the way, and don't worry you Obama-haters, we are planning on putting a more mustache-friendly icon on the back of our shirts....

TOM SELLECK!

So it begins...

The 2nd Annual Mustache Bash is Here!!!

After a successful event last year we are back again for the Second Annual Mustache Bash!!!

We are a group made up largely of area firefighters from Clay, Harris Twp., Notre Dame, South Bend, and Elkhart.  In an effort to raise some money and create awareness for a worthly cause last year we had a month long mustache growing contest.  We had nearly 50 growers and together we raised $1,500 to dontate to our cause to the Hoosier Burn Camp.

You can check out what when down in the archived posts on the right, and here is the link to the photo album.

In fact, we are even officially endored by The American Mustache Institute!

Well, this year we are back at it, only much bigger and better!!!

We are attempting to get as many growers as we can and raise as much money possible for our charities this year.  They will be the Hoosier Burn Camp again and Safe Kids of St. Joseph County here locally.  

The growing begins on February 1st and we will finish the month of growing again with the Mustache Bash.  This year however, we are going to be hosting the Mustache Bash at Corby's Irish Pub in South Bend.  We are also having Chicago's own The Dirty Rooks playing all night long.  

Here is the official scoop:

THE DETAILS:

There is a $20 entrance fee...

For that $20:

We will be making a generous DONATION to The Hoosier Burn Camp and Safe Kids of St. Joseph County.  

You will get a wrist band that will get you free beer at Corby's for a good portion of the night.

and if your mustache is good (or bad) enough to impress the judges you just might get some very special prizes!  (don't worry there are several categories)

Additionally we will be having a voluntary cover charge at the door, tip boards, and some great raffle prizes all night to raise some additional cash.

THE RULES:

Mustaches only!!!  No mid-life crisis goatees, soul patches, or George Michaels Beards!!!

We will have a "Shave In" February 1st which also happens to be Super Bowl Sunday this year --- that is what I call two birds with one stone!  We are going to do our best to make the rounds and ensure that all participants are cleanly shaven, and then probably meet up at a local drinking establishment.  (details to follow)

THE FINE PRINT:

If you commit....then back out, you must double the entrance fee to buy your way out.  A whopping $40 for charity, as well as the personal shame and public ridicule that you will incur.

If you already have a mustache???  Shave it and start over!  Chances are that it will come thicker, and look twice as sweet.  
 
If you are in, well then send us an email to info@themustachebash.com and tell us so.  We also need a before photo of you cleanly shaven.

On a side note, you might be asking yourself...."I am a girl!! I can't grow a mustache!  Or at least not a good one, so what am I supposed to do at a Mustache Growing Contest?"  Well, please don't take it as a personal insult.  We know that you made it to our site because we know that you like to party, and we are going to need your support for this 28 day long mustache ride!  You should feel honored and we expect to see you at The Mustache Bash.  Additionally we also accept donations for our charities, so you can still pay the $20 for the wristband to drink.

This site is your official home for all things Mustache Bash related.  Please check back regularly for Mustache of the Day posts, party updates and details, and our progress along the way.

Hold on to the handlebars, it is gonna be a fun ride!!!

The Categories

Here are the official categories that we will be judging on at The Mustache Bash. There is one for everybody, so don't worry about that peach fuzz...we have got you covered.  Thanks to Corbys we will have even more sweet prizes this year!  (Like a Crown Royal Jacket, Neon Beer Signs, etc...photos to be posted soon!)

OUTSTANDING MUSTACHE AWARDS

Award #1:

MOST STRIKING MUSTACHE



Most striking? Yeah, basically the best! You are rocking that stache and making it your own. The judges will be grading fullness, dander level, all-around shape, and grooming. If you win this award you will disappoint the entire community by getting rid of it. See the picture of Burt? That is called rocking a mustache!



Award #2:

BEST ATTEMPT AT A MUSTACHE


Best attempt? Yeah, basically The WORST! This is like a bad hair day...for 29 days...on your face! Judges will be looking for discoloration, patches of hair, and the possibility of lice. If you win this award you will make the entire community VERY VERY happy by getting rid of it. See Officer Rod Farvra to the left...sometimes, even though everyone else has one, it is still just not a good idea.


Award #3:

THE FREE-STYLE AWARD

Confucius once said, "A man without a mustache, is a man without a soul." I could not agree with him more. Check out that 'stache! It is the Asian sensation of mustaches, full bodied and free flowing like a mountain waterfall from the corner of each mouth. Just like Confucius did, in the free style category you must think outside the box. Free styling can be a little dangerous, but the risk is always worth the reward. The main thing that judges will be looking for is creativity. We encourage heavy amounts of wax, hair dye, or the always difficult to pull off: the mustache weave.

Award #4:


THE CELEBRITY LOOK-A-LIKE AWARD

Do people always tell you that you look like someone famous? How about someone famous with a mustache? Well than this award is for you! If you are gunning for this award, we encourage you to bring in a picture of the celebrity that you think you look like. The judges will be looking for similarity and the likelihood of you getting asked for an autograph. Keep checking the Whisker Report's MUSTACHE OF THE DAY for inspiration.




Award #5:


THE RETRO 'STACHE AWARD

No explanation really needed. For you lucky ones out there, this is your chance to act, or at least look like a retro guy for the month. The judges will be grading on sleaziness and general attitude. I mean, not everyone can pull this one off!

Check Presentation

Presenting the check for 1,500 clams to Mark Koopman from the Hoosier Burn Camp.  I tried for one of the big Price is Right style checks, maybe this year...
