Crisis-Mending Blondes

Latvia Uses Light-Haired Women to Help Economic Woes

500 Blonde women will be walking the streets of Latvia on Sunday in hopes of making Latvians forget about the economic crisis.

The day will continue with a fashion show, concert, and a blonde gold tournament. Apparently watching light-haired women makes you forget you don’t have a job.

Spokespeople for this movement are sure that these blonde women can bring some light into Latvia’s national financial crisis and evoke positive emotions.

Ironically, their motto is “make the world a brighter place.”
