Movember Memories

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.

Exhibit B: economist and natural resource consultant David A. Young

Exhibit C: Rob Kitching, flanked by his employees Coral McKendrick and Arlene Scherbain.  Bonus points for displaying his handlebar in such an affectionate manner.

Exhibit D: Dr. Charles Faiman.  The mustache/pipe combo is killer.

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!
