An army of 500 blondes will try to put a smile back on the face of recession-weary Latvians by staging a festival this weekend designed to show that they really do have more fun.
The Blonde Weekend will include a parade by a bevvy of blondes through the streets of the capital Riga, to the accompaniment of music from a blonde orchestra, a fashion show and an evening ball.

There will even be a golf tournament only open to blonde women, say the organisers.

"The economic situation is such that society needs these types of events," Marika Gidere, head of Latvia's Blondes' Association, told AFP.

"People are depressed, they don't have enough positive emotions. And this is something very positive and fun. And we know that blondes have more fun," she said, adding she expected at least 500 women to attend the event.

I still prefer the unemployed Olympics.

I'm amazed that in these dire economic troubles, Latvia can afford to pay the travel expenses for 500 blonde Russians to parade around the capital, Riga.

If you ever saw the "Legally Blonde" films these girls all look like Elle Woods wannabees!

Ah! The main difference though, these Latvian ones are real, natural blondes. A rare sight these days.

So how difficult a language is Latvian?

I think the Latvian government brought them in from Russia though.

Economic crisis, my ass! Let's see the Finnish government importing gorgeous blondes from Russia! Are you listening, Little Matti?

Most of them look like they've bleached their hairs in addition to reach that "platinium" blond colour, popular among silicone supporters All of them seem natural blondes and I'm sure their real hair colours are ways more beautiful.
Such actions establish more the not so positive image of the blondes like not quite intelligent dolls dressed in pink, not like beautiful women with not only physical qualities.
