More mo. Less mullet

Movember 2025 — Not 1985

Back in October, for our 40th, I shared that photo from 1985 — yes, the full mullet–mo combo. Judging by the comments, that image is now permanently etched into more than a few retinas. Appreciate the enthusiasm… I think.

So, for Movember 2025, let’s set the record straight:
Yes, that was real hair.
Yes, that was a real moustache.
No, none of it was ironic. It was 1985. We were all just doing our best.

This month, the mo is making a comeback — but the mullet is staying safely in the archives where it belongs. Times change. Causes don’t.

Movember remains one of the best reasons to have a laugh, raise awareness and actually talk about men’s health, mental health and what it means to show up for your mates. If a photo of me looking like an extra from an INXS video clip helps start that conversation, I’ll take the hit.

If you can, please throw a donation towards Movember and check in on someone who might need a mate today.
