Bearded & Tschorn: Show us your charity ‘stache

The Movember mustaches are now barely 3 weeks old, so we thought it was high time to provide some visual updates -- and encourage others to send in photographic evidence of their hirsute pursuits so we can all have a good chuckle over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.

Mine has finally emerged from its lip smudge dormancy and become something I find myself referring to in the third person (things like: ‘Adam’s mustache wants to go to Palm Springs,’ or ‘Adam’s mustache wants to buy the band a drink.’)

At this point, the men behind the 3-week-old badges of follicular courage will find themselves having to make some serious decisions about what kind of mustache they want to cultivate. I’ve chosen a conservative, somewhat corporate Eric Holderesque bat-wing ‘stache because it seems so against type. It’s actually turned out creepier than I imagined.

Oh, and I almost forgot to mention that a few week back, the guys over at KTLA had a good-natured response to my earlier call to Southland celebs to let it grow, which I’ve embedded at the bottom of this post. (But I still expect real ones next year, guys!)

So submit photographic evidence of your facial forestry to our Your Scene site, or Tweet them to our attention @LATimesImage and we’ll put together a gallery.
