As the month of Movember draws to a close, I would like to honour a few of the more unique mustaches to have ever graced this fair city. Exhibit A: real estate agent and singer, John Yuzyk.

I know what you're thinking. It's nearing the holidays and all of these men have everything they could ever want already: a fantastic mouth brow. Well, do not despair. You could always be like Professor Victor Leathers here and purchase a collection of mustache cups. Their stache no longer has to be a tea strainer. Happy Holidays to the mustachioed set and a Merry Movember to everyone!
