We Wish You a Hairy Christmas…

If you’re a client or vendor, I’d like to apologize in advance: It’s not going to be a pretty month here at Off Madison Ave. Mustache Types Friday, December 12th, marked the start of the Second-Annual Off Madison Ave Mustache Contest, which runs for one month, concluding with a grand pageant on Monday, January 12th. Yes, a pageant. Like Miss America, if Miss America looked less like a model and more like Magnum PI. It’s only been five days, and things are already getting a bit woolly mammoth. Apparently, we’re a testosterone-fueled bunch. Well, the men are, that is. The ladies of Off Madison Ave are delightfully facial hair-free, thankyouverymuch. Even if we sometimes have a little “waxiddent” getting ourselves there. But I digress. Last year, we had eight mustaches in the running – and only four made it to the finish line. Not everyone is man enough to rock the ‘stache through a season of holiday parties, family photos and romantic New Year’s Eve celebrations. Not to mention all the new business pitches and client meetings. This year, seven men have thrown their hats into the ring, promising to cultivate a mustache that couples distinguished style with personal panache:

Roger Hurni, Founder/Executive Creative Director
Mike Corak, Director of Interactive
Chris Sietsema, Deputy Director of Interactive
Nick Hammond, Web Developer
Will Smith, Search Marketing Manager
Paul Peterson, Deputy Director of PR
Eric Kardesh, PR Account Executive

Please, wish them well on their journey to be crowned this year’s Mustache King. And if you see their wives/girlfriends, buy them a drink. They’ve earned it.

I personally am hoping that somebody goes for the full Dr. Arliss Loveless look. http://www.imdb.com/media/rm296392960/ch0008891

Sara forgot to mention the fabulous prizes that accompany this world-renowned competition.

Also, I am hoping this year's contest will be plagued with scandal involving banned substances. How does one check for Rogain on the face??

My money is on Chris "I'm Your Huckleberry" Sietsema

William says:

Uh Michelle? No sexy pics of me with my 'stache for your desk now. No, no don't try to apologize!

Sara says:

Apparently, we already have two mustache fatalities.

Mr. Hurni and Mr. Kardesh, you lost more than some whiskers when you shaved. You lost our respect.

How are you. Nothing has a stronger influence psychologically on their environment and especially on their children than the unlived life of the parent. Help me! I can not find sites on the: Discount car alarm systems. I found only this - commando car alarms. Car alarm articles from articlesbase. Car alarm system to sense a motion in your dream car. Thanks :confused:. Zaci from Papua.

Good evening. The moment we begin to fear the opinions of others and hesitate to tell the truth that is in us, and from motives of policy are silent when we should speak, the divine floods of light and life no longer flow into our souls. Help me! I can not find sites on the: Our davie, fl dodge dealership always has a wide selection and low prices.. I found only this - [URL=http://www.bioforenergy.eu/Members/Dodge]denver Dodge dealers[/URL].
