Tache comments

I'm getting some comments back from the photo on the St.Ann's Hospice site
(http://www.sah.org.uk/tache4cash/photogallery.htm) ...

>>...not if I see you first, I'd be too frightened ;)

>>Oh Lord, you look like you should be wearing pantaloons & pledging
allegiance to Queeny!

>>You look quite sexy with a tache...trailer trash, but sexy!

>>You look like f***ing Deputy Dog!!! - but still gorgeous

nicest comments from 'da ladies' so I'm happy. :)

News from Tache Central

As I type this on the laptop I'm conscious of a gingery fuzz in my lower peripheral vision .. it's The Tache!
Photos of my facial decor are being sent to Marie Claire (yes really) as they are covering the story... I'm sure better looking boys than me will get in though :)

The beard area has come on nicely - white hairs and all. Bit of a talking point in the coffee queue also, mostly me apologising for The Tache to people I vaguely know here at work. Justify, Justify etc.

Raising quite a bit of charidy dosh though which is good.

service interuption

I'm messing about with the site at the moment - the design is all wrong - ugh - I'll fix it soon -
badly designed like the moustache I'm currently sporting for charity :)
Photos of that mighty hair happening coming soon.

Tache for Cash

I am growing a moustache, it may be a handlebar, a chaplin or maybe a latino - it's day 3 so I don't have a fixed idea yet.
I do know though, that it will not be a red as it once could have been - more a brown with patches of white industrial grade hair sprouting out.
The Tache is explained then. The Cash comes from Sponsors who want me to look verrry silly over the coming 23 days and are willing to pay for the pleasure of watching the progress of my facial hair growth ..All money raised goes to St.Anns Hospice in Manchester.

So, 3 days in and I already feel the need to explain to colleagues that the proto-goatee/tache combo is all for charidy mate.
My Reticular Activation System is already zooming in on moustache-iod chaps whilst I'm out and about. None seem to be wearing theirs with any degree of irony.
