So, i have been accused of cheating, and maybe other people are right. My growing of the full beard made it look like i was just a dude who hadn’t shaved the night before. So now I am rocking just my moustahce and a little chin hair. So now it looks like i am early trying to grow facial hair, but failing miserably.

So it has been 14 days. People are complaining that i haven’t shaved down to a moustache yet. I will shave down to something this weekend. My plan was to grow it all out and see what my facial hair options were. I have been looking at the traffic, and not a lot of peopel are viewing the pics in their full sized awesomeness. So, just to bring hom how great i look right now. Here is a full pic
Enjoy
And ladies, call me.

There was a link posted in the kickball newslatter, so I thought I would give any new comers a quick orientation. In addition to being an obnoxiously peppy kickball captain and a mediocre karoake singer, I also belong to an amazing non-profit theater called ImprovBoston. IB is in the middle of a big fundraising push, and I am helping out by growing soem facial hair. Right now it is scratchy beard, but it will soon be a glorious (and by glorious I mean inadequate and shameful) moustache.
Poke around the blog. There are pictures of a young marcelo with a chin-strap of a beard. If you would like to donate to some worthy causes (the moustache, The Arts, my abject humiliation) send me an e-mail at marcelosmoustache@gmail.com or visit my IB Donation page linked to the right.

First: ImprovBoston is getting some moustache love. We had this shoutout in one o fmy favorite new blogs, The Bostonist. I think they meant to link to this blog when they mentioned hilarity, but linked to my donation page instead. As much as I would love to pump up this blog’s traffic into the teens, cutting out the middle man and going straight to donations is cool too.
Second: A co-worker sent me a lovely link from the Boston Globe about moustache style.

We need some more pics. I will get them up soon.

Yesterday we had a work function to bid a member of the staff farewell. At the soiree I talked to one of the partners who works on my floor. I noticed that he was sporting some recently grown facial hair. He has a moustache/goatee combination. The Mike Lowell, if you will. I had been noticing his facial hair mith much jealousy. So I walked over to him and said:
“Hey, [Guy], I noticed that you have been sporting teh facial hair too. How long have you been growing that?”
“Oh, well I always grow facial hair on and off. I don’t really like shaving.”
“No. I mean, when did you start growing that facial hair? You were clean shaven when I started working in September.”
“Oh, this. Hmm. 5 days (look of shock on my face) No. About ten days.”
“Aw man. (I pout a little) I have been growing this (as I point to the paucity of hair on my face) for a day longer than you. You’re kicking my ass.”
He consoled me for a bit with platitudes on how everyone is different and to not judge my facial hair. But deep down, I was just jealous of his amazing facial hair growing prowess. Also, yesterday my secretary made fun of me.
Yesterday was hilarious.

Tuesday Morning – Day 10
So,
I don’t think that these pictures of my new facial hair quite do it justice. I am pretty sure it does not look as pathetic as the posted picks make it seem. So do a slightly less pathetic mental adjustment when you look at the pics.
I have two biggest fears when I started this moustache-athon to raise money for ImprovBoston, the best little non-profit comedy theater around: (1) being lady-free for the duration of the whiskers (fear confirmed) and (2) ruining my new career.
You see, I work in a law firm, and it probably comes as no surprise that law firms are generally a conservative work place, and the higher ups do notice and comment upon the appearance of their co-workers, especially the recently hired junior lawyers. In my case, my office is right next to one of the Big Dogs of the firm. My friends have speculated how he will react when the facial hair becomes noticeable.
Yesterday, the Big Dog stopped me in the hall. He said, “Hey, Marcelo . . . you are looking sharp today!” I demured and politely ran away to my office. I think either he has not noticed the facial hair, is playing a mind game by letting me know that he notices my appearance so i will shave, or he was just blinded by the awesomeness of my tie.
I am going with the third option. Last night I went on e-bay to look for more dazzling ties to keep me employed throughout the duration of this charity moustache-athon.

Sunday night, 8 whole days of growing facial hair. I am posting Days 7 and 8 below. As you can see, the only thing that is awesome is how terrible and scratchy I look. I see a pretty girl while I am out, I think about talking to her, and then I remember the fact that I look like . . . well you’ll see below. My only saving grace is that it is so short that I look like I only skipped a day or two of shaving.
Oh well, 22 more days for charity. I will tough it out. I love you ImprovBoston, but right now I hate you a little.
Saturday – Day 7
Sunday Day 8
