Movember - are beards back in?

Now all around me for the past month I’ve seen friends and acquaintances strolling around as if everything’s normal, seemingly unaware that they have what can only be described as a faint suggestion of a slug on their upper lip.

Yes, moveber has come and gone, and with it many differing styles of facial experimentation. And it does beg the question: are beards and moustaches coming back into fashion. After scoffing for a few days, I began to envy these facial adornments, sorry that I myself had not one. And I have to say, when the time came to shave, they all looked like naked, un-manly specimens.

I think beards are cool, I don’t care who knows it, and I think 2009 should be the year of the beard, with everyone growing their hair to warm them up and thus save on heating bills. Maybe next November we can all shave for a month. Nudember? It’s got interesting possibilities . . .
