How-To: Make Dad (or Teacher) a Doodled Mustache Mug

Angelica Marden — Thu, 02 Jun 2011 08:05:02 PDT

Some days nothing says I love you - or I like you a lot - like a hot cup of coffee or tea. Particularly when that sweet caffeine fix is served in a custom doodled mug. As we prepare for the season of dads and kindergarten grads consider brewing up a simple arts and crafts project aimed at making a favorite teacher - or father's every morning. Younger children may need you to play art director, but if your child is old enough to wield a Sharpie without tattooing himself, he can do this project on his own. Here's a guide to making a goofy personalized mug gift for less than $3!

The 2011 Moustache Calendar Is Here

Miriam Lacey — Thu, 23 Dec 2010 05:00:51 PST

If you, like Ke$ha, enjoy men with facial hair, then boy do I have the calendar for you. Most Wanted: The Moustache Calendar 2011 ($15) is 12 months of fancily hirsute hotties all framed up like old-timey "Most Wanted" posters (everyone loves a theme party). Mustaches may not be your cup of tea, but for steampunks, hipsters, and fans of vintage styling, they can be quite the aphrodisiac. Plus, the calendar has all the important Movember dates marked, so you or your giftee will know when to break out the 'stache wax.

And the Award For Most Famous Mustache Goes to . . .

Marilyn Monroe may have been named the greatest blonde of all time, but according to a recent British survey, Salvador Dali wins the title of most famous mustache. The surrealist painter (and unexpected fragrance maker) was chosen for the top spot by 24 percent of the voters, and seeing that it's Movember, the news couldn't come at a better time. To find out who else made the British-centric list (I guess Tom Selleck's not too popular across the pond), just keep reading.

Movember: When Men Grow Mustaches For a Good Cause

Jaime Richards — Wed, 03 Nov 2010 08:00:16 PDT

For dudes, November is not just the eleventh month of the year, it's Movember (as in "Mo" being Australian slang for mustache). Participating men start at the beginning of the month clean-shaven and grow in mustaches over the course of the next 30 days.

While most of you said you don't love a man in a mustache, maybe you'll change your mind when you hear the whole Movember movement is for a good cause. The Movember Foundation is a nonprofit that helps raise funds and raise awareness of men's health issues, specifically cancer. Last year, over 255,000 people raised $40 million across the world. Impressed? Check out these photos of guys from Movember's past rocking some pretty impressive 'staches:

Love It or Hate It? The Mustache Accessories Trend

BellaSugar — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 04:00:03 PDT

From hats to headbands to rings, retailers can't seem to get enough of offering up mustache-themed accessories. A visit to Fred Flare or Etsy - where you can find the mustache necklace ($10), dangling earrings ($14), and colorful headband ($10) - proves my point. While Magnum, P.I. sure would be proud of this hairy fad, are you ready for the mustache madness to end? Or does this quirky trend provide you with just the perfect amount of kitsch?

PhotoPaddle Lets You Give Your Friends an Instant Makeover

In the annals of wacky inventions, few are as simple, or as brilliant, as the humble PhotoPaddle. It's just a hand-mirror-shaped piece of clear plastic with glasses or a mustache drawn on it, but the possibilities for using it are limitless. Putting a mustache on someone or something that doesn't have one is always inexplicably hilarious, and the PhotoPaddle lets you go around doing it discreetly 24/7.

Want your best friend to look like Snively Whiplash from Rocky & Bullwinkle? PhotoPaddle! Think that picture of Marilyn Monroe needs some Lady Gaga sunglasses? PhotoPaddle! I obviously think this thing is funny, but what about you? Is it a cute idea, or am I just being juvenile?

Mustache Gets Cop Suspended

Oh my, how ironic. An Ohio police officer was suspended for not trimming his "General Custer" 'stache. I thought cops and mustaches were like . . . cops and donuts. Maybe they're trying to shake their stereotype in favor of a more clean-cut image, who knows? Though I've gotta say, I've seen some mustaches in my day, but never one that required disciplinary action! Read more about it here.

Product of the Day: Mustache With a Mustache

GiggleSugar — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 16:00:00 PDT

Imagine how much cuter There Will Be Blood would have been if Daniel Day-Lewis had sported one of these bad boys. The Son of Moustachio pillow/toy/handy disguise has the machismo of not one, but two glorious handlebar beauties, all in one snuggly-soft package.

If he can pull a halftime show out of that wasp nest, then he's got the job.
