As November draws to an end, so does Movember – the month-long commitment of men across the world to grow a mustache for 30 days. The mustache helps raise awareness about men’s health issues – it is the “ribbon” of the cause – and the good folks at Trinity threw a party on Nov. 27 for Seattle’s Movember participants. Prizes were given, ‘staches were flaunted, and a good time was had by all.Photos by Pablo ConradPublished on November 29, 2010
