Mo’tastrophe – Day 18
Grovember / Movember / BJRvember marches on, and my mo’ looks worse every day.
I was clearly not born to grow one of these things. The cause is great, and I’m really happy to be a part of this team effort at the company – just walking through the office and seeing all the mo’s is awesome – it makes you proud that so many people are a part of the effort. My mo’ simply shows that I’ve evolved faster than my colleagues, as my genes longer require facial hair above my lip to keep me warm in the cave after hunting brontosaurs all day.
What does it look like?
- Whiskers, not hair – my upper lip looks more like a trimmed cat’s face that a rich soft mo’
- Growing in waves – the first week, all the hair that grew out was black. Over the last two weeks, blond hair has dominated, so that at a distance, you see patchy sections of small black hair, and then as you get close, you notice these white blonde hairs jutting out at all angles. It’s not a pretty sight. Each time I catch myself in a mirror, it scares me.
- Missing hair follicles - apparently I don’t have hair follicles in several places above my lip. I don’t know, if like my legs, my hair never grew back after chemo, or if I was born without these follicles, or if Lisa pulled them out one night while I was sleeping.
Yes, this is really it after 18 days
-
- Trying to make the mo’ look tough. A little facial stubble after a couple days almost dominates the 18 days of blondish mo.
-
- A little closer. Smiling wider to try and make the mo’ look bigger. Looks more like an unwashed face.
-
- Extreme mo’ close-up. Do not try this at home. Do not let this man approach your children.
