COAST MEN DITCH BEER FOR A BLOKEY HIGH TEA
GOLD Coast men are reportedly ditching their night of beer and banter with their mates and instead growing whiskers and suiting up to enjoy a swanky high tea and a chat about their feelings.
The ultimate hipster from Bronte in Sydney, Jimmy Niggles, called the “Million Dollar Beard Man”, will be on the Coast next Friday to talk all things emotional, healthy and hairy for Movember.
“Aussie blokes have a mentality of saying ‘she’ll be right’,” he said.
“Men shouldn’t be scared about reaching out for help or being proactive about their health.”
He hasn’t cut his beard in eight years since one of his close mates died from melanoma and he won’t until someone is prepared to pay big bucks. “I’m on this crazy mission to shave my beard for a million dollars,” Mr Niggles said.
The money would be used for a worthwhile cause, spreading the message about skin cancer and Niggles’ annual Beard Season, which educates men about melanoma.
While on the Gold Coast, the big bearded surfer hopes to catch up with a few mates, including Beard Season ambassador Mick Fanning, but might also be sporting a bold move.
“I think it would be pretty fun to put on some golden Speedos and have a gold glitter beard and get a photo with the meter maids.”
QT on the Gold Coast is hosting a men’s high tea on Noveber 30 to raise money for Movember – the annual moustache growing month to raise awareness of cancer and mental health issues.
