Movember has come and gone and so has Jim’s moustache. We had a great time reading everyone’s comments. In fact, we enjoyed it so much that we threw everyone’s caption into the mix and picked a random winner from over 60 captions. And the winner of a free 1 hour on-location photo session (worth $200) is…. (cue drum roll please)….

Peter Hernandez!

Below is a recap of the images as well as some hand-picked favorite captions to go with it. Enjoy!

“ I once knew a guy named Jim, 
Who could grow a moustache on a whim,
with each one he does grow,
all children certainly know,
that they should flee from him!”

“Lost Moustache. Please do not feed. If found, contact Jim Schwaller’s mouth”
“Maybe if I cover my mouth, they will think that is where the sound came from.”
” I didn’t drink the last of the milk…prove it!”

“Medium rare please…”
“Rudolph, the Red Grilled Reindeer ”
“Maria, bring the raccoon and corn. The reindeer’s almost ready.”
“mmmmm, smells like Christmas!”

“not everyone with a mustache is a pedophile, but every pedophile has a mustache, Rosebud”
“Like the delicate grooming of a bonzai or a orchid, Jim’s mustache has been carefully crafted into the shape of the brontosaurus shadow that Little Foot mistook for his lost mother in The Land Before Time. Many have cried at the site of this most sincere mustache as a result.”
“Is that Pungent Smell of the Monkey Orchid or is it Just Jim?”

” If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball.”
“Nobody makes me bleed my own blood – nobody!”
“Mama gonna knock you out! Uh!”

“Look at me, I have a Mostach too”
“If you can’t beat him, join him.”
“Hmm, you’re cute but mine is better…”
“Find your mustache buddy today, I found mine”

“hmmm, still wondering if this suit was a good idea”
“This schwallerstache is the real deal “killerstache”…I will make you an offer you cannot refuse….Donate or else!!”
“Have you ever…killed a man?”

“Puff’s Daddy”
“I dream of dragon”
“The Man with the Dragon (scratch out Tattoo) Stuffed Animal”

“Jimria expecting their first, read more to see how they are preparing for parenthood”

“Your moustache smile fills up my otherwise blank space (substitute “world”, “heart”, “life”)!

“Hey BRO 4m the ‘hood,
C U doin’ sum’ GOOD,
stackin’ up the cash,
by growin’ UR MOUSTACHE,
ain’t no balderdash, (everyone pay attention)
THIS IS SCHWALLERSTACHE!!

Last year, my husband, Jim decided to participate in Movember. I decided to capitalize on his growing moustache by holding a contest to give away a free portrait session. You can see a recap of all the photos from last year here and here.

We had so much fun that this year, we’re going to do it again!

“What’s Movember?”
It’s an awesome event to raise funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and other cancers that affect men. Men who participate grow moustaches for the month of November (hence, the name MOvember… get it? get it?) and become walking billboards, promoting conversations in men’s health that are often ignored. Women can also participate in raising funds and promoting awareness — although I imagine the moustache-growing part will be a bit harder to do.

The funds raised are directed to programs run directly by Movember and their men’s health partners, the Prostate Cancer Foundation and LIVESTRONG, the Lance Armstrong Foundation. Last year, Jim’s team was able to raise over $1,000 in donations. If you would like to donate to this great cause, please visit Jim’s Mospace here.

“What’s the contest?”
Every 3 days (starting November 1st) for the month of November, I will post a picture of Jim’s Movember progress on Facebook. Day one starts from scratch (clean shaven by Movember’s rules). All you have to do is post a caption (up to 3 per photo) that best fits the image. A winner will be selected for each photo and entered into a raffle at the end of the contest. There will be 10 Movember photos total so the more captions you post, the more chances you have at winning!

“What do I win?”
We’re giving away a FREE 1-hr on-location photo session in the Los Angeles/Orange County (even Cincinnati!) area for up to 4 people. With this session, you will receive a set of fully processed, hi-resolution digital images. This session is worth $200 (and can be ‘gifted’ to someone else if you choose).

2 WAYS TO ENTER! (you can choose to do one or the other — or both for more chances to win!)

OPTION 1

One photo session winner will be chosen at random from the entries and will be announced on or before December 5th. Are you ready? Here’s the first picture!

Good luck! We can’t wait to see what captions everyone comes up with!
