Grow it, Show it, Stroke it, Mo' it

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."
