So we've had Movember which was a charity event featuring sponsored moustache growing to raise awareness for prostate cancer. (Take note, Facebook, and your weekend of having a different profile picture.)
And now, the Guardian tells me that Decembrow is upon us, in which women stop plucking their eyebrows and sport a unibrow to raise aware for... well, feminism, I guess.
Both are good ideas.
But not being a woman I am unable to raise awareness for feminism. So, feeling left out, I have decided to begin Decembreativity in which I raise awareness for creativity by creatively coming up with some more possible month-name-change-to-raise-worthy-cause-awareness ideas.
Let's see:
So, instead of January we'll have Brandnewary - a month in which everyone must listen only to Brand New songs: to raise awareness that Brand New are the best band in the world
Instead of February, Debruary - in which everyone named Deborah must spell their name Debra: to raise awareness that my mum's name is spelt Debra and not Deborah.
OK, admitedly, these first two have been a little centred around me. Let's try to see the bigger picture.
Instead of March, Starch to raise awareness for starch. Because, you know, we'll all like a bit of starch?
Instead of April, Gaypril, a month of enforced homosexuality, to raise awareness for John Barrowman.
Instead of May, Gay, ... another month of enforced homosexuality... to raise awareness for... err...
OK.
These are all awful.
I declare Decembreativity a failure.
Talk amongst yourselves whilst I think of something else...
