Movember

After noticing that every guy at Milk Studios had a beard last November, I was alerted to something called Movember.  Each November, men grow mustaches to "raise vital awareness and funds for men's health issues, specifically prostate and testicular cancer initiatives." Friends and family make donations in exchange for them not shaving for the month of Novembner.  The only problem is that growing a mustache can make some men look like they are the creepy sort who drive a windowless van if you know what I mean.  I think that’s why many end up growing a full beard which becomes the winter fixture for the downtown dudes. In honor of Movember, I’ve put together a group of my favorite hirsute hipsters and celebs.  If you’d like to make a donation, you can do so here.

Very Vogue

I wish someone would sneak into Vogue and steal that short dark wig that they love using but other than that, I'm excited for the November 2011 issue.  It's nice that they put a relatively unknown actress, Rooney Mara, on the cover.  I'm sure that won't be the case for long since she's starring in the upcoming American version of Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Probably helps that she's heiress to two major football dynasties.  Another heiress featured in the magazine is Aerin Lauder, although, I'm not sure she would ever use that word to describe herself.  I can't wait to hear more about her new solo venture, Aerin, which should debut in fall 2012.  Happy Reading!

On Vogue

One of the highlights of every month is sitting down to read the new Vogue.  Anne Hathawway is the November issue cover girl and she looks amazing.  But then again, who doesn't amazing when shot by Mario Testino?!  There is also something about it that reminds me of the Aman & Carson room that I just posted so I thought it made a perfect follow up.  Too bad I can't camp out in their room to read it!  Bon Weekend!

Nine in November

I'm still undecided if I want to see the movie Nine when it debuts in November but I am looking forward to seeing the photos of the cast shot by Annie Leibovitz in the November 2009 issue of Vogue. More importantly, I'm dying to see what the Urban Apartment Makeover that is highlighted on the cover is all about! Hope it's good!
