Because it takes balls to grow a sweet mustache.: New York Out of Fashion?

Grow the long, wear them proud, and for god's sake keep them waxed.

Maybe its the start of football season, the changing leaves or even just the chill in the air but there's just something about Fall that makes a man want to grow a mustache. But why grow one alone when you can do so with a group of friends and some strangers?

September 1st marks the start of the Rainier Group and Friends' 3rd annual "Month o' Mustache". Details can be found in the posts below but basically grow a mustache for a month, revel in it, and then get together with other mustachioed friends at the end of the month to celebrate your accomplishment

New York Out of Fashion?

New York, the city notorious for its trendsetters and fashionistas, major fashion publications, the most gorgeous models and the wealthiest social elite is often heralded as the fashion capital of the world. So how can it be that the entire area seems to be devoid of September's hottest fashion item - The Stache?

In an effort to keep New York one step ahead of Paris and Milan, Ryan A. selflessly took his Mustache on a grass roots fashion crusade through all the buroughs of New York. Said Ryan, "Upon arriving I couldn't believe the complete and utter lack of mustaches. Even the usual suspects - cops, firemen, and the creepy guys hanging out in the playgrounds seemed to be missing the stache. So I used that entire city like a runway. Expect to see the mustache popping up as the next must-have fashion item soon."
