Fashion and Beauty

I know you guys have heard about this on the news- Air New Zealand is holding a casting call in Los Angeles later this month to find 30 people who will agree to shave their heads and be a walking billboard, as part of a marketing campaign. After getting their heads shaved, they will get temporary henna tattoos that read, "Need a Change? Head Down to New Zealand. Airnewzealand.com" You can read more about it on their website at www.airnewzealand.com.

Now, naturally, you're not allowed to cheat and wear a hat the whole time it's on there. And frankly, they are giving the 30 people who agree to do this their choice of a cash prize or an economy ticket to New Zealand. I don't know how much the cash prize is, but I know that with the price of airplane tickets and having a friend in nearby Australia, I'd be more than happy to shave my head. And I'm a girl. In fact, I'm the kind of girl that wouldn't look good with a shaved head like Sigourney Weaver or Natalie Portman, and I'd STILL DO IT!! :D

But, seeing how I don't live in LA, and probably wouldn't be eligible, let me nominate someone. I found the pic below earlier this year when I was searching for tragic sideburns (apologies to the guy in the pic, but it's true). Now, tell me this guy couldn't use a haircut anyway. And he looks pretty fierce. That dude would have a REALLY cool adventure vacation! And he's probably not a stranger to tattoos. lol



You know, I envy the people who enter and win this contest, odd as it sounds. I know there are a lot of people out there giving them grief over it, as in, "Who would do such a thing just to win a contest?!" Well, these people are going to be having quite an adventure, and they have an incredible story to tell for the rest of their lives. I've actually had a life-changing vacation, strange as it sounds. My Project Runway trip led to me becoming a fashion writer, which led to me wanting to start a magazine, which led to my becoming acquainted with and working for a local artist. And that led to me showing my own artworks in a gallery. Who would have thought that something as simple as a vacation would lead to so many opportunities?
