Movember-A Collection of Vintage Mustache Images

It’s November which means it’s Movember, a global campaign that encourages men to grow Mustaches in November to support the fight against prostate and testicular cancer. I support this campaign every year (among other ones as well) and thought it would be fun for my blog to do a “Vintage” edition of moustaches and help out the cause this way 🙂

On Thursday I will be heading to NYC for the weekend with my husband for a big German event called the “Steuben Parade” that we happen to be participates in. It’s going to be an amazing experience and I cannot wait and I also cannot wait to go back to one of my favorite cities in the world, NYC. I love this city so very much and every time I set foot in it, I feel like I’m at home.

So while I pack for the city that never sleeps I thought I would share some cool vintage photos I found online of NYC. Enjoy!
