Costa Rica Don’t Shave for Charity Competition
Written by Claire
In a valiant effort to support their favorite charities, select employees from the offices of Costa Rican Vacations and Costa Rica Holiday have been doing what they do best: growing moustaches.
Costa Rica News — Moustache Competition
The moustaches are being judged today after 30 grueling days of growth in preparation for the first annual “Selleck-like” Moustache Competition. On the first day of the competition, which is supposedly being considered for an Olympic sport, the participants were ordered to arrive to work cleanly shaven.
Around the second week of competition, things started getting hairy. Tony let his fast growing moustache powers get to his head and started taking in a Midwest drawl and wearing cowboy hats. Long lost participant Casey showed up, taking the other five competitors by surprise, while Tom’s upper lip still shined soft like a baby’s bottom.
In the wake of several complaints of office rivalry and favoritism, the official voting will be opened up to YOU, the viewing public. A series of “progress photos” have been posted at the official Moustache Competition 2007 website for your consideration. The finish line moustache photos and measurements have been posted below.
Please remember that the competitors are to be judged by the thickness, bushiness and Tom Selleck likeness of their moustaches. Some of the additional rules include: no stick-ons allowed, no sticking on of other bodily hair, the moustache must stand alone (no beard) for the entire duration of 30 days, dopping with artificial hormones is not allowed, and anyone who backs out must hence forth grow a Hitler moustache if they want to be forgiven.
With that all in mind, please check out the moustache photos and then vote HERE. The competitors’ are as follows, in no particular order:
Richard
Tom
Tony
Alan
Casey
The winner will have an unnamed sum of money donated to their favorite charity.

I vote for Tony. Others are not quite there but Richard and Alan are a close race for 2nd. Tom should get credit for sticking it out!
Mine looks like a Mexican selleck, if any mexicans are out there please vote!!
Yes, the mexican railworker is a good look, I sported that one a couple years ago…. Tony, should I say “Luigi”, you’re not allowed to vote for yourself!
