Movember, the month-long moustache-growing event to raise awareness for prostate cancer, is not just for men.
That’s according to Calgary resident and fan of the furry upper lip Kelly Innes. She and a friend have donned fake facial hair of varying styles throughout November.
“We have been spreading the awareness and frowning at people who weren’t growing moustaches,” the 30-year-old said with a laugh.
Innes said that next year she plans to raise money for the cause and that she recently ordered 36 more fake moustaches from Hong Kong.
“It’s a lot easier to promote if you’re a girl with a moustache because it’s not as normal,” she said.
Troy Steinke, meanwhile, has gone the more traditional route, growing out his facial hair with some co-workers. They have raised nearly $8,000.
“Some guys have done pretty well, some guys look a little creepier with a moustache,” the 33-year-old said.
