CONTEST

Moustachio Bashio
Tues., Nov. 20, 8pm. Free. Ten Stone, 21st and South sts. 215.735.9939. www.tenstone.com

The question on everybody’s upper lips: What, exactly, is the Moustachio Bashio? The brainchild of resident Ten Stone pranksters Brenna McGinnis and Papaya, the Bashio is a good old-fashioned mustache contest.

Roll up and put your tickler to the test. Does your soup strainer make the rest of the field look like peach fuzz? Got a cookie duster that’s more of a muffin mopper? Come on down, then, ’cause it’s straight Mo-vember (as the month has been renamed by antipodean face fungus fanatics) at the Stone.

A celebrity panel of judges including Markos Kapes (and his horseshoe Manchu) along with Skull (seriously, is it even possible to hold a proper mustache contest without a guy named Skull?) will adhere to a strictly nonsensical point system to determine the winners.

The always-popular “various prizes” will be awarded to the most diabolical (think Snidely Whiplash and Dick Dastardly) and the high-handlebar holy of holies, the “Tom Selleck Would Be Proud” ’stashe.

In a stunning display of largesse, the organizers have even instituted categories covering fake mustaches—opening wide the windows of opportunity so the glory of grooming greatness can be grasped by all. (Joshua Valocchi)
