Thanks for the Mo-mories

Yes, the Mo's of 2008 have been laid to rest and for some, the Big Mo-Off could not come soon enough. Here endeth the labour of love for our intrepid band of wandering minstrels, pirates, porn stars, dodgy used car salesmen, 70's PE teachers, Wild Hogs wannabe's and hirsuite hippies!

Thanks to the generosity of co-workers (2nd floor peeps - you rock!!), friends and family the 2008 WestOne MoBro's donated $1630.50 towards finding ways to combat male health issues such as prostate cancer and depression. And hey, the phone lines are still open.....

Mo-inspired food and flying hair was the order of the day, with Donna's Mo-cupcakes taking pride of place in Joel's Mo! Unfortunately we couldn't quite coordinate the event to get all the Mo Bro's and Sista's together and our blog-star James needs to be commended for his inspiring creation and the messages of peace, love and bristles, which have adorned this Blog. Big ups to you JT!

Enjoy the show :)

Wow, you can nearly see that Mo now it has black icing in it!

Gently does it for 'Herr' Miller

Aaah - the anticipation! Would you buy a car off this man?

Nuff said!

The 'Analyser' doin his thang

Arrrrrrrr, eat ur heart out Johnny Depp

It's a keeper - the Patriot/Trucker lives to grow another day

Some of the freshly shorn crew - great effort MoBro's!

Mo-mentous

Just like one of those flashback shows...

And so Movember has come to a close. And what epic journey, such as the one we've all just been through, would be complete without a bit of a wander down the avenues of nostalgia.

Movember brought us opportunties to bring to life some old classics (albeit terrifying ones)...



...to the more contemporary...



...to the criminally-questionable...









As well Movember providing us much laughter in the form of the many and varied photos that graced this blog, it also gave the WestOne Mo Bros a chance to raise money for a number of very good causes.

And such raising of funds would not have been possible were it not for the efforts of all you folk out there who supported the Movember movement, chipped in dollars, porn star jokes and patient looks when the moustaches started looking tragic (which was about day 2, from recollection).

Big thanks also to Dave T, who kept us amused all month with his swashbuckling Photoshoppery of Awesomeness. At this stage, he may be the only one sad that Movember is over...

Huzzah to the Mo Bros and Mo Sistas and all the supporters! Start prepping those upper lips for next year!

The Big Mo-Off Morning Tea 2008

In the words of the immortal Mr Miyagi from Karate Kid fame 'Mo on..Mo off'. Yes folks, the time has come for the W1 Mo Bro's to part with their dearly beloved Mo's that have been crafted and sculpted and loved and loathed throughout the month of Movember (formerly known as November).

When is this Mo-mentous event happening I hear you gasp?

The Big Mo-Off Morning Tea 2008
Monday 1st December 10:30 a.m
WestOne Services Canteen (Tower Block)

Bring your fancy pants, your clippers, your hungry, your tired, your poor.... and a sumptuous plate of tasty Movember inspired treats.

btw - the team tally is now nudging 1.5K Simply MOSSIVE!!

Available for weddings, parties, bar mitzvahs...

...the WestOne Mo-riachi Men.

You showed us the MO-ney :)

How can we say thank you enough? The generousity of our work colleagues at WestOne and supporters has been overwhelming.

Whilst the official count goes on (with the marginal seat of Kirill still in the balance :P) we can confidently say that at least $900 has been donated to Movember so far, with a couple of tins still to come in.

The 1K target is now well within reach. If you are aware of others who could boost this total, please send them the blog link and encourage them to go to the online donation link in the top right corner of this blog.

Watch this space for details of the Big Mo-Off morning tea. The hair will definitely fly as the clippers come out to play!!

All in a morning's work!

Thanks to all folk around the workplace who very kindly donated to our Movember Fundraising mission!

Cheers also to the Mo Bros - and Mo Sista! - who went the extra yards and dolled themselves up for the morning's venture.

Big ups to Dave who bravely followed the crew around and took the happy snaps.





More photos as they come to light! (and checked for appropriateness...)

Come on...

...it's not like you weren't thinking this when you saw the sordid collection of moustachioed cronies...
