As you Stachist followers already know, November 1st marked the beginning of what is world-widely known as “Movember.” Where men put down their razors to let all visibly be known what it is to be Man, while raising money and awareness for prostate cancer. This year I’ve decided to join a team and participate in the only way I know how; to beg for money. For sadly, I myself cannot grow a mustache, nor can I even directly benefit from the donations of this cause, for I also lack a prostate. But hey… it’s just nice to be a part of something.

So here comes the fun interactive part for you, the readers. You will give our team money. At least that’s my hope. And in exchange I’ll be posting periodic updates throughout the month of our team member’s “growth.” A pictorial diary if you will. Sweet deal huh? Before you say no, meet the team.

The Team: Labii superioris pili eximus

translation: Excellent upper lip hair

Ryan, the Captain

Ryan cannot be satisfied with a mere still photo of himself, so he created this little charming vignette. That is why he is our captain.

See the rest of the team after the jump.

Jared aka. Jared Selleck

Self nicknamed for obvious ironic reasons, he is by far our team’s most follically challenged for reasons twofold: he doesn’t grow much hair and what he does manage is almost invisible to the naked eye due to his pigment deficiency. We even gave him a weeks head start, and this is what he looks like.

Erik

Originally Erik gave me a more recent photo of himself. Unfortunately for him, I have about 8 yearbooks worth of pictures and found this one to be more suiting. Quite frankly he looks the same… maybe even a little taller back then.

Phil aka. Jesus

He’s in a band. Therefore cannot start with a blank slate and risk losing his cool musician edge. He will just be getting harrier. If you’re in the SF area you should go check them out. (plug)

Andrew

Andrew clearly the only one out of all of us that follows the rules… as here is a true “before” shot. Not to worry, he’ll be looking like the video store creepster in no time.

Stacy & Lina, The Jock Straps.

Not really much to say here. We can’t really play, but our purpose is for athletic support.

So that’s our team. A donation would be greatly appreciated and can be done by clicking here. Either way, enjoy the show.
