The Curious Case of A Mustache Runs Through It

Just great...'Stachey-come-lately Brad Pitt is getting more press for his 'Stachionista liphair...



But we guess that's OK...Some of our Growers showed the media elite what a real 'Stache looks like last night at M Bar downtown...we wonder if we could get Angeradley to grow that thing for charity...

Check out our Growers' encounter with the Washington Post's Celebritology Blog.


Pictures from last night's Checkpoint #2 will be up soon!

You're behind the curve, Bradford

Celebrities...always thinking that if they do something, they must be at the vanguard. Brad Pitt says he wants to "Bring the Mustache Back in Style."


We take offense!

In This Town, A Mustache = Power

The Reliable Source, the "defining gossip column for and about Washington," has confirmed it...If you want to get anywhere in this town these days, you better bring your mustache.

President-Elect Obama has been scouring the Beltway for appointees who will meet his agenda of change...and that agenda apparently also includes a shift in shaving sensibilities.

(Insider's note: Henry Waxman's mustache is contemplating a run for a House seat in 2010...from Waxman's own district! More to come...)

Checkpoint Numero Uno

M4KDC's first checkpoint of the Growing Season was a resounding success!

With a little over 24 hours left to go before Checkpoint #1, Reuters news agency felt they HAD to run a tribute...it was the right call to make.

Shaving Day 2008!!!

Growing Season officially kicked off for Mustaches for Kids D.C. last night at Porter's Dining Saloon!!!

Over 30 Growers had their lips shorn at the upstairs bar, and are now out amongst you, fundraising to support the kids at Children's National Medical Center! Give them some support!

Check out pics of last night's festivities here.

What If Celebrities Were Growers in 2008?

Unconfirmed rumors have Rachael Ray and Victoria Beckham (nee Posh Spice, nee Victoria Adams) participating in this years Growing Season...Or was it Conan O'Brien and Eric Estrada? We can't remember exactly.

Fortunately, you can get a preview of all the Celeb-u-'stache action at Celebrity Mustache...Just in case the impossible happens and Sylvester Stallone dressed as Rocky doesn't show up for Thursday checkpoints this fall with a well-kept handlebar in his corner.

Hall & Oates and a Supercharged 'Stache

John Oates, of Hall & Oates, and his cartoon 'stache fight a jealous Tom Selleck for interplanetary domination of lip hair...unreal.

Editor's Note: Observe the less common spelling of mustache with an "o" in the article's headline. Rolling Stone has apparently gone French.

Best...Sports...'Stache...Ever

Go ahead...try and refute that perfect pushbroom...

...yeah, we didn't think so.
