I had my lovely ginger moustache "threaded" at the weekend, which involved an Indian woman ripping the hairs off my upper lip with two bits of string. I know, I don't understand it either, but it worked. Although now my cheeks seem alarmingly furry in comparison. Will this never end?
I feel it was bad timing though, as I now have no moustache to speak of for Movember. It's not fair! Why can't women have an equally entertaining fundraising equivalent to growing outrageous facial hair? This year, we were encouraged to "raise awareness to breast cancer" by updating our Facebook statii with a line about where we keep our handbags. "I like it at the end of the bed," said one friend. "I like it hanging on the back of the door," said another. The idea was to trick men into thinking we were dropping hints at where we liked to have sex, and the joke would be on them.
Needless to say, it didn't work. "I want to try that game the ladies are playing on Facebook," said one guy on Twitter. "I'm not sure I've got the hang of it, but... I like mine in a vagina."

I was so absorbedly following your driving adventures, pleased that at last there was someone else out there as useless as me at cars, and then all of a sudden you get so competent and blasé that you don't even talk about driving any more. AND my little roundy picture is gone. A dark, dark day.
ReplyDeleteSorry, but those roundy pictures were bloody hard work to maintain you know!
ReplyDeleteAnd there are more frightening adventures in car ownership in my drafts folder, don't worry. I drove to your neck of the woods last week! On the motorway. Was terrifying. And great.
But you don't actually HAVE a moustache....oh
ReplyDeleteYou found my blog! Now you'll see "the real me" :(
ReplyDeletePerhaps you could start up Furbruary, which would involve creative sheering in the lady nether regions, or some sort of vajazzling.
ReplyDeleteCan we have something that ISN'T to do with vaginas?
ReplyDeleteMaybe don’t cut your toenails for a month. By December 1, you should be able to shred a sofa barefoot.
ReplyDelete(I had the ladynethers idea too, but I didn’t like to say it.)
i find myself trying to picture your face, excessive facial hair? i don't think so but then again, not any more...
ReplyDeletei think women having moustaches are as normal as men having them, yet, when you see them you kinda cringe.
ReplyDeleteFurbruary - inspired.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, don't call it a moustache, call it a kahlo.
Hello there,
ReplyDeleteI have a message for the webmaster/admin here at annierhiannon.blogspot.com.
Can I use part of the information from this blog post above if I provide a link back to your website?
Thanks,
Harry
Oh dear, boys will be boys eh? They always have to work in something rude. Personally I keep my handbag in the lounge, but then it's not full of vital grooming necessities like Touche Eclat and nail varnish.
ReplyDeleteYou can remove unwanted hair with bits of string? That's a new one on me. I can't imagine how it works either. Are you sure the string isn't waxed?
Furbuary is brilliant. That may be a keeper.
ReplyDeleteDon't have babies Annie, the unwanted facial hair situation grows worse after... stupid hormones...
PS. Don't be silly, the real you is delightful and enchanting. Why is he only finding the blog now??
ReplyDeleteI would just like to say i love your writing it is fun and quirky and I had to pull away from it otherwise I would never put it down, or turn it off, or... Anyway great work. My blog has just begun but you have just given me some hope of sanity. Now back to the grindstone... :0)
ReplyDeleteHi smpgill, ye of entirely unpronounceable name. Yes it is a bit of a grindstone isn't it. Already!
ReplyDeleteAh, I'm only joking about him just finding the blog now. He'd actually read my blog before we even met. Horror! Delete delete!
Che un bel post. Adoro leggere questi tipi o articoli. Posso? T aspettare di vedere ciò che altri hanno da dire.
ReplyDeleteFacial hair, my bane. I might be weighing in a bit late here, but don't you know it's Decembrow? http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/dec/12/feminists-unibrow-monobrow-decembrow
