The Houston chapter of Mustaches for Kids was able to raise $7805.25 in its inaugural year for Texas Children’s Hospital Cancer Center! Thanks to all the growers, donators and volunteers who made our first annual event the success that it was.
For more pictures of the hilarious hi-jinks please visit our Flickr page. If you have photos of the night please add them to the group and tag them m4khouston.
It was a hard fought night. We had early, mid and late round bribing which resulted in a final round tie-breaker. Crowd favorite ‘Boots Electric’ was paired against Stache the ‘big bank’ Kid. In the end it was attitude not money that made Boots the true winner. Sure he may have not had the hairiest or the longest stache but he nailed every round of competition to be deemed the Sweetest Stache.
Ladies and Gentlemen I give you Mustaches for Kids Houston’s first Sweetest Stache winner Adam ‘Boots Electric’ Sandoval.
Adam simply outclassed every other competitor. He outshone them in the introduction, beer foam retention, touch test, Q & A, mustache sonnet reading and the dance-off/pose down and he did it all with a touch of class that makes Houston proud that he was our first.
Stache the Kid, who made it into the final round on a Benjamin, almost did not go home empty handed; he donated his trophy to the Stag’s Head Pub and arguably the best mustache of the night B-Rad.
The night was filled with lots of hi-jinks; Zorro, clearly the least hairiest also bribed his way into farther rounds. Indiana Jones started off the night with a dozen roses for each judge. My personal favorite, for Burt Reynolds reasons alone, was Ryan who came as the ‘Bandit’. Bandit entered the room for his introduction with something to appease the gods and the judges - a PUPPY!
Sadly Bandit couldn’t deliver in the Q & A section and was voted out by the judges.
All and all everyone competing and in the crowd had a blast and together we made a difference!
Mustaches for Kids would like to thanks Imageset Houston for donating the large check you see above. You have a big heart Imageset, thank you very much!
Stay tuned for the video and complete run down of competitors
p.s. please, don’t ever let me wear this again

Who will be the winner? Will it be you? Tonight is going to be a blast, I can’t wait to see how much money we raised for Texas Children’s Hospital Cancer Center.
If you aren’t growing come on out and have a great time at the expense of several selfless men who went the distance, looking extremely ridiculous along the way. We have lost some, including one JUST YESTERDAY, but we have raised some money for a good cause. Cancer is a horrible disease and most of these kids do not even get a chance to do any of the things we take for granted. Lets show them that there are people in this city who care about them; dig real deep into your pockets and give to a great cause, they deserve it.

Oh sure you’re probably thinking that Tom Selleck has the greatest mustache in history but I beg to differ. Burt ‘Bandit’ Reynolds appealed to all sexes. He’s had ladies swooning and gay men dreaming all with the manliest of staches! As I stated in the Houstonist story on Mustaches for Kids that the lovely Katie Laird wrote;
Favorite celebrity mustache? The obvious choice is Tom Selleck but I’m going to have to go with Burt Reynolds. That stache may hold the secrets of the known world. When Burt passes, god bless his soul, his stache should go on display at all the major museums. First the Louvre, then perhaps the Sistine Chapel. It should meet with heads of state, dine with royalty, drive for one NASCAR season and eventually become secretary of the defense.
I really hope some of this happens, especially Secretary of Defense. How cool would that be?
Burt, M4K Houston salutes you and your unwavering dedication to the stache. Tonight is dedicated to you

My mustache and I had a conversation last night and it said it can’t wait to dance along with all the other staches on Saturday night. ‘I know’ I said, it was a magical time.

Although this video is 8 minutes long it captures probably the best mustache party ever had. Filmed in Lake Tahoe on New Years Eve it features some of the finest staches ever committed
There have been many mustaches in rock but only one rises above all alse
Frank Zappa lived a short and very productive life, releasing 57 main albums and 18 subsequent ones. For those playing along at home that makes 75!

I’ve been told throughout this journey that, especially when I wear a baseball hat, I look like a relief picture so in honour of this I decided to point out the best mustache in relief pitcher history.
Goose was quite simply the ‘heat.’ As a relief pitcher he employed one pitch - the fastball. He could throw a couple other pitches but Goose was a power thrower and as accurate as a bullet. Throwing in the 98-102 mph range Goose would routinely bean a hitter if he crowded the plate too much. Manning the mound for the great Yankee teams of the late 70’s - early 80’s Goose also holds the distinction of being the last pitcher to strike out Pete Rose, his last at bat. One thing that remained constant in Gooses’ 22 year career was his stache and for that - We Salute You Goose Gossage, well played.
