Moustache Movember! 

New Toys, Books & DVDs 

November is prostate cancer awareness month. Renamed Movember by some friends in 2003, dudes grow moustaches to make a statement - to say we care about this and we can make a difference - donning the upper-lip hair as a badge or ribbon of sorts. Starting clean-shaven on the first of the month, participants don’t touch that razor till the end of the month and collect donations and sponsorships throughout. So partake if you wish in growing a moustache, or, donate if you wish to Prostate Cancer Canada. 

Let’s all take a moment to think about our prostates, or the prostates of those we love, and how we can keep them healthy. Here are some helpful hints: we’ve got in store – the Aneros, Rude Boy, Pandora, etc… Just ask! DVDs that can make you an expert in no time. www.prostatecancer.ca to donate or participate! On another note, the holidays are coming, and Come As You Are is all stocked up with everything you need for that special someone, or those special people, in your life. Or maybe you just wanna treat yourself, which is a-ok too! We’ve got some suggestions here, but feel free to give us a call, email, or drop by our Queen Street store for advice on how to be the hit of your holiday celebrations!

Art: Famous Men and Naked Women by Lisa Moses 

“We are inundated with images, so much so that we take them for granted. I draw images from popular media in order to relocate them. I enlarge, rearrange, and reinterpret mass produced images as portraits and figure drawings. I engage with politicians, Playboy models, and celebrities, the famous men and naked women of popular culture.”
