Movember - Women can grow their moustaches too to promote Prostate Cancer Awareness?

Hello Members,

What do you think of this campaign by US-based company Billie to get women to grow out their moustaches to promote prostate cancer awareness? And what do you think we can all do to raise awareness of prostate cancer and the need to get tested for this Movember?

For info: November is Prostate Cancer Awareness month and many men (and some women apparently) grow out their moustaches to show their solidarity with the cause, hence "Movember".

Ladies, put down the wax, the thread, the razor, or whatever godforsaken way you remove upper lip hair.

Most of us try to hide our peach fuzz by dyeing it blonde or getting rid of it altogether, but razor brand Billie wants us to put a halt to that and take part in Movember. Each November men ditch shaving and Billie wants women to join them. The brand hopes to be the first female-first company to start raising money for Movember. The global charity challenges men to grow a moustache to raise money and bring awareness to prostate cancer. The Team Billie Movember campaign hopes to do the same by encouraging women to grow out their moustaches and to donate to the cause. So, are you willing to grow out your facial hair?

Hoping to put their money where the mouth is, Billie is also vowing to match donations made. The Billie website says: ‘Newsflash: women have moustaches. We’ve been trained to hide them – wax them, bleach them, shave them – but that doesn’t make them any less real. ‘Fuzzy and faint or dark and dazzling, they’re there. So this Movember, we’re growing out our (formerly) top-secret upper lip hair. ‘We’re a brand built for womankind. But we’re thrilled to support the men in our lives – we’re matching 100% of contributions made to our team, up to $50,000.’
