Cinco de Mustache

Some call it a Holiday, some call it an awakening, I call it a movement. A movement to bring the lost art of the mustache, back to its glory. I speak of the hallowed Cinco de Mustache. I did not create this movement, I simply got on a fast moving man train.

The pioneers of our movement; Tom Selleck, Cliff Claven, The Village People, Yosemite Sam. They have called and demanded our respect. Therefore in an effort to sanctify all that have paved the way, we grow...

The rules are simple:

1. Growing season begins April 1st.
2. Your face is your canvas; you do with it what you wish. Whether it be a beard, a goatee or the pure mustache. You grow until May 5, Cinco de Mustache.
3. On Cinco de Mustache, for the entire day, you must wear some form of mustache: the Handlebar, the Molester, the Moustachio (affectionately known as the Selleck), the Pornstache, the Walrus. It is your lip undergrowth, you decide. But for one day, May 5, you wear a mustache.
4. Take a before and after picture, to mark your momentous transformation into manliness.

It is that simple. Join the movement. Join the last beacon of pure masculinity. It’s time to shed the shackles of the naked upper lip and tell the world “I am Man”. Put on your magnificent lip warmer friend, and join Cinco de Mustache!

Cinco de Mustache

The day was filled with horrible Mexican food, frightened mothers, and man hair. In other words, it was perfect.

To all those who grew (and grew into a man) congratulations. 2008 Cinco de Mustache was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. Thank you.


Until next year...

A New Day...

Today is the first day of your life...HAPPY CINCO DE MUSTACHE! Let the party begin! I have a few different engagements that I will post about soon.

To all those that participated...welcome to manhood friend.

Week 4

Alright men, listen up. 5 days to man glory. I just want to clarify a few of the particulars concerning Cinco de Mustache.

1. A goatee is not a mustache.

2. No after work mustaches. You wear the mouth brow from sun up to sun down. No exceptions.

3. Stay away from the Hitler stache...it won't be as funny as you think it will.

Just remember the words of an ancient Chinese proverb, "A man does not make a mustache, but it is the mustache that makes a man."

5 days till glory - grow strong!

-Estebon

Week 3

At this point, you have committed. There is no turning back. You have smelled the man inside and now only one thing consumes your mind...what will Cinco de Mustache bring? Will it bring the sensual Tom Selleck type mustache, or a more subtle Mr. Belvedere. Will you show the world your cantaloupes through a handlebar mustache or will you opt for the ever so popular molester. These are good days friends, good days in deed.

Keep growing...11 days to glory.

Week 2

We are nearly half way there men. I can almost smell the testosterone emanating from your upper lip. You are probably thinking you are quite the big tamale with your newly grown 'stache...well simmer down hot-shot. Meet some real mustache men of honor...

Only one thing more manly than weights, a mustache and a tanktop...



...and that's a mustache, a snake, and the name Jake.

Week 1

You are past the 5 o'clock shadow and are starting to feel the sweet weight of your mouth-brow. You have gone this long without shaving before, but you are starting to have second thoughts. You will make up excuses like it itches or my wife hates it. In fact I can hear your wife/mother/girlfriend now, "Okay, you've had your fun, now shave!"...

Snap out of it! You call yourself a man? It is for this purpose Cinco de Mustache was created. To celebrate the last beacon of pure masculinity. Stay strong to your mustache. Stay strong to your manliness. And know this...you are not alone.

Keep up the good growing.
