The Stache Pag is held to honor the tradition of men growing moustaches simply because they can. The contestants take the month of March to grow their facial hair into all sorts of sizes and shapes. One young fellow came all the way from Connecticut to strut his stuff.
The category descriptions for this years pageant were as follows:
The Magnum P.I. - The natural or common moustache… this moustache is a full, well-integrated, friend of your face… not too flamboyant, but certainly stating something in bold print.
The Thigh Tickler- Where the moustache makes magic. These staches leap from the face, a la Handlebar, Fu Manchu, Pancho Villa and other fantastic pleasing pleasures. Judges tend to favor three-dimensional aspects and creative styling.
The Uncle Rico- this category refers to moustaches belonging to men, for reasons unclear, not able to grow enough hair on their upper lip to enter either of the other two categories. No ringers: this category is for the guys who obviously let it grow for a while to look that way.
The five judges based their votes on the following:
Exemplification of Category
Fullness
Grooming
Touch
Full Ensemble
There were about 30 contestants that strutted their stuff down the catwalk for a crowd that was packed into the bar like sardines in a can. What was up for grabs for the lucky winners? One of these stellar trophies and bragging rights.
Don't feel bad if you missed out...vote below for your favorite Stache!

This event (and these category descriptions listed on this site with no attributions!) was created by No Umbrella Media: http://www.noumbrella.com/moustache
Thanks for the recognition (small amount of implied sarcasm due to lack of attribution on this post, but mostly in good faith)
Just so you know, Anonymous, we couldn't find a contact information on your web page to call or email with questions. The connection between No Umbrella and the Moustache Madness was confusing and there was no updated list of events on the No Umbrella homepage. It might be a good idea to put some of this info on your sites so that next time you can be properly attributed. Sorry you felt under-appreciated (no amount of implied sarcasm due to the lack of information afforded to us).

moustache madness! what a great concept! thanks maine buzz for this post- i know a couple guys who were in the running and it was great to see a bangor based blog/mag post on it! as for giving no umbrella props... i searched around for info on it too- but it was hard to find! i did finally find a page, but it had some 'interesting' pictures on it (ahem ahem) thank you for not posting a link to those :) it wouldn't be appropriate- in my humble opinion- for your audience. as to anonymous (nick maybe?) where the heck has no umbrella gone?! i haven't seen anything since 2007! i miss your off-beat paper.
thanks again for the 'coverage' of M.M 2009!
