Movember is a moustache growing charity event held every November to raise funds for mens health. Men of all hair-growing ability let their top lip go wild for 30 days and people donate cash for their efforts.

My latest challenge saw 50% of the vote going to finding and kissing a new movember man each day. I'm risking pash-rash on a daily basis and to make things interesting I'm finding out an unusual fact about each of these mo-men.

Club1  Club2

Day 20: Rod Carter at Ocean's Sports Club in Whangamata
Rod jumped at the chance for internet fame and the chance to kiss Indiana. It was just a pity his wife wasn't quite as impressed as he tried to get a leg over!
Interesting fact: Rod's party trick involves rolling himself in a piece of carpet like a cigarette.

Shane1  Shane2

Day 19: Shane Parker in New Zealand but from Australia
Shane's mo seems to have aerodynamic powers, that's the only way I can explain how he beat me in the Shweeb in Rotorua.
Interesting fact: Shane doesn't eat cheese, he just laughs at it.

Mechanic

Day 18: Jeff the bikebuilder from Rotorua
While Jeff's ability to grow a mo was sketchy at best, his ability to fix my bike 'Meg' was legendary.
Interesting fact: Jeff dreams of being a comic book hero and often wears his undies on the outside.

Kiddo

Day 17: Simon from the Regatta in Brisbane
This kid claimed he was growing a mo but it must be nocturnal or only visible under the right light. Keep trying Simon.
Interesting fact: Simon is considering moving to Antarctica where body hair grows more rapidly.

Boxerchipsmo 

Day 16: Freddie from Fosters
This sexy Aussie bloke has been sporting a mo for longer than anyone can remember.
Interesting fact: Cartoon moustaches need no grooming.

Jake  Jake2

Day 15: Jake from the Under 20s Brisbane Broncos team
I bumped into this lad at the Courthouse in Port Douglas on his breakup party for his rugby league team. He was wearing a dress, the theme of the party was op-shop and decided to lick my cheek rather than kissing it.
Interesting fact: This isn't the only dress Jake owns.

 Mattcornish  Mattcornish2

Day 14: Matt from Hartleys Crocodile Adventures, Wangetti
You may have heard of a tree snake or a trouser snake, now meet the upper lip snake. Matt took me for a special tour around Hartleys and we got to feed 5 metre crocs and play with pythons.
Interesting fact: Matt is going to be a stunt double in a hollywood movie next month wrestling a croc.

FARLEY  FARLEY2

Day 13: Farley from Cairns
Movember men don't mind putting their upper lip on the line for a good cause but Farley didn't stop there. He got a moustache finger tattoo with a group of his mo-bros and mo-sistas in Cairns.
Interesting fact: Tattoos don't wash off

BRUCE

Day 12: Bruce from Rockhampton
While I didn't meet Bruce in the flesh I was so impressed with his man-eating crocodile moustache he had to feature.
Interesting fact: Bruce is currently trying to market a crocodile exfoliation cream to Japanese markets.

Day 11pete Day 11pete2

Day 11: P-Bird from Brisbane
Just back from a quad biking adventure P-Bird's mo is helped along by a fresh smattering of mud but his cheeky prickle was worth getting dirty for.
Interesting fact: P-bird was once a Country Road model.

Day 10goat

Day 10: Bob from Kroombit Park
As soon as I arrived at the Goat Rodeo Bob caught my eye, he wears his fringe hipster-long and pulls off the beard better than any 2-legged man I know.
Interesting fact: Bob is the only blonde in his family.

Day 9simon

Day 9: Simon from Denmark
He may have been wearing a chequered shirt on a farm but this guy was more town than country and wasn't quite pulling off the cowboy mo at day 9.
Interesting fact: Simon was evicted from the Big Brother house for sniffing a contestant's underwear.

Day 8graham

Day 8: Graham from Nottingham
This wannabe cowboy was on my dinner table at Kroombit Park Cattle Station and apparently he uses his as a flavour savour, collecting all the stray crumbs for later.
Interesting fact: Graham occasionally lets his girlfriend walk him on a leash.

Day7

Day 7: Brendon from Noosa Heads
This mo-man decided he would do something special with his beard for November. I met him at a 'Wet Jocks' competition at Nomads Hostel in Noosa, which turned out to be far more rewarding than our conversation.
Interesting fact: Brendon uses honey to twirl his moustache and it attracts flies.

Day 6matt  Day 6matt2

Day 6: Matt from West End, Brisbane
I got more than a mo from this guy, when he went in for the kiss I got a little more than I was expecting and the lady in the black coat behind us was shocked and moved seats. Note to self: Don't pick mo men who have just left a Sunday afternooon session in the beer garden.

Day 5matt

Day 5: Matt from Regatta, Brisbane
This is our bar man at the Regatta hotel in Brisbane who informed me that the guys who pre-grow are brandished with the Moctober brush. Throughout our whole conversation he creepily licked his dirty mo while telling me there's a female version of Movember called Fanuary, I'll let you come to your own conclusions on that one!

Day 4chris

Day 4: Chris from Sydney
An old mate from my London days surprised me tonight and luckily he'd been cultivating an upper lip crop for the past 4 days.
Interesting fact: Chris does DVD aerobics in his lounge before work each day.

Day 3jeff

Day 3: Jeff from Rotorua, New Zealand
I'm not sure how this nutty fella was allowed out of New Zealand but he was more than happy to be one of my hairy henchmen.
Interesting fact: Jeff still sleeps with a night light he affectionately calls 'Blinky'.

Day 2geoff

Day 2: Geoff from Eastbourne, New Zealand
After being baked in the Queensland sun all day this kiss proved to be quite perilous due to the scratchy 2 day growth from this cute kiwi lad.
Interesting fact: Geoff has a tattoo of the Pencarrow Lighthouse on his arm.

Day 1juzzy

Day 1: Juzzy from Mooloolaba
This young lad insisted that his narrow velcro lip strip was just one days growth. He'd been celebrating the Melbourne Cup for 8 hours when I met him and was more than willing to be my first mo-man.
Interesting fact: Juzzy's pinky fingernail is 8cm long
