Manuary—a monthlong celebration by men, for men

[bijou]

In December, men gritted their teeth and were nice to their in-laws. They held purses while their women tried on 20 dresses. And they donned a tie for New Year's Eve.

And now they are rebelling: It's Manuary.

In January, as part of the Manuary movement, men across the country will bypass the razor and grow their beards with abandon. (No trimming allowed!) The truly devoted will boost their red meat and whiskey intake.

Chicago resident Bill Housewright, 31, a filmmaker-turned-science teacher, claims he created Manuary in 2005 to get in touch with his "redneck, ex-country past." He grew up in La Harpe, which he describes as a John Cougar Mellencamp-esque town in west central Illinois.

Housewright is also a 155-pound vegetarian whose friends are more like skinny, punk-rock dudes than buff, calendar-quality firefighters.

"We kind of make fun of what is supposed to be manly," he said. "It's kind of manly, somewhat homoerotic, somewhere in between."

Nope, not at all. What this guy and his group is doing should called "effeminate men act like men" Month.

I quit shaving when it gets cold in the winter and don't shave till it warms up in the spring.

Yeah, but its only for one day.  

I like the idea of an entire month.
