RIGA, June 1 (RIA Novosti) - A blonde parade will be held annually in the Latvian capital at the end of May, the country's Chas news website reported on Monday.
Some 1,000 people participated in the first blonde parade held on Sunday under the motto: Make the world a brighter place.
"People need positive emotions, especially in hard times. We held this event for the first time and will make it a tradition and hold it annually at the end of May," the website quoted Marika Gederte, the head of the Latvian Blondes Association, as saying.
Sunday's parade was followed by a ball and a competition to find the best "blonde lawyer," "blonde journalist," and others.
Latvia has been one of the hardest hit of all EU states by the global financial crisis. The ex-Soviet republic's government resigned in February after a wave of street protests against a planned increase in VAT and other unpopular measures to curb the economic decline.
International financial organizations are due to grant Latvia 7.5 billion euros in a rescue package before 2011.
I’M MOVING TO LATVIA!
What a great idea! I say have Carrie Prejean lead the parade. Follow it up w/ Monica Crowley, Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham and Meghan Kelly.
No dumb blondes here!
packing my bags and joining ya...good lord....
Spent a year there back in ‘03...odd bunch, but the women look great (as you can see).
Is there a judge to determine if they are REAL blondes?
Said one blonde, “I’ve never done annual before, but I guess I can try.”
hmmm... now how would you check that??
The one with the dog is very pretty. Probably high maintenance though if she always dresses her pet in like garments. And, she more than likely insist that the dog goes with her everywhere.
—raising my hand to volunteer—
Scratch prev post. The pretty girl isn’t walking the dog, (I see after scrolling down to next image) - she is the one with the long(er) dress on.
I love this idea however if this was held in the USA:
1) the media would call it a white supremest rally
2) NOW would protest against the exploitation of women.
3) Academia would demand quotas for brunettes and redheads
Oh hell yes! Though they haven’t been charged of anything, NOT GUILTY, all of them!!
Carrie Prejean was discriminated against in a terrible way. But she IS a dumb blonde. Don’t lump her in Ingraham, Coulter, etc.
THANK YOU.
And Perez Hilton would demand to be crowned queen and ride on a float.
One can trick a dumb blonde into going “Dutch” on a date. Latvian blondes aren’t dumb.
