In an inspiring initiative, a group of bearded men known as the Merb’ys have created a ‘dudeoir’ calendar to support a commendable cause. The project, spearheaded by the Newfoundland and Labrador Beard and Moustache Club’s leader, Jake Turner, was inspired by a friend’s playful merman-themed post on social media. Instead of the usual floral or landscape calendar designs, this unique collection showcases these bearded gentlemen in whimsical poses, channeling the spirit of mermen.
A Heartwarming Mission
The Merb’ys calendar not only promises to bring joy to its viewers but also contributes to a noble mission. Proceeds from the calendar sales are directed to Spirit Horse NL, an organization dedicated to enhancing mental health and life skills through therapeutic interactions with horses for individuals and families. It’s a heartwarming blend of creativity and compassion.
Unexpected Support
Despite the undeniable charm of the calendar, Turner expressed surprise at the overwhelming support. “We anticipated some local media coverage and hoped for a bit of national attention,” he remarked. “However, the international reach and interest we’ve garnered has truly exceeded our expectations.” The playful and sensitive nature of the calendar appears to resonate with audiences far and wide.
Something for Everyone
With over 300 calendars sold and interest from various countries, there’s certainly a Merb’y for everyone. From the hipster Merb’y to the laid-back “basic” Merb’y and even those celebrating a night out away from the kids, this calendar has something for every taste.
