A feminine Movember

Movember is a typically masculine way of fighting fear with laughter. Here are a few ways to wear your own mustache to support them and have a laugh.

Fingerstache

Did you know that the oldest representation of a man wearing a mustache dates back to 300 B.C. and was found near the southern Russian border? The depicted man also had tattoos… meaning that fashions were coming and going long before the seventies! Although our mustaches will not become history, here is a very temporary way of wearing one: the fingerstache! The idea is simple (and free!). Draw a mustache on your finger and put it on and off at will! Our ancestors could have never guessed what would be the mustache of the future!

You can also buy a set from Indigo for $2.
