Virgin Atlantic have launched a competition to find Richard Branson lookalikes, and the prize is an invitation to their VIP 25th Birthday Party (note to self; must blag my way onto that guest list...)

I've put the press release on the homepage, but I've also had a note from Virgin themselves especially for V-Flyers. See below.

Print out their handy facial hair template, and a photo in the most amusing position, I guess. Methinks Howard should reprise his roll in the pool at the Clubhouse...

quote:
It's our 25th Anniversary this year and we have just launched a Richard
Branson 'Look-a-Like' Competition on our Facebook page, to keep the
celebrations going. Take a look:

In brief, this is how the competition works:

1) Entrants should send us a picture of themselves posing as Richard
Branson to [email protected]. You don't need to look like
Richard, or have the beard or hair, as it's all just for good fun. But if
you'd like to personalise your facial features you can print out, or
photoshop, some hair and brows here:

2) Then, when the competition closes on 24th April 2009, Richard Branson
himself will pick his top 5 look-a-likes.

3) We'll then get our Facebook fans to vote for the best photo and the
lucky winner wins:

EXCLUSIVE VIP TICKETS TO OUR 25TH BIRTHDAY PARTY IN NEW YORK CITY. (flights
and accommodation included).

We'd love to see what you guys come up with, so hope to see you enter on the
competition.

All the best and good luck Richard's look-a-likes!

Interesting to note he, himself, disavowed Virgin from this lookalike competition and siad it 'was nothing to do woth him or his staff but Mdme Tussauds quest' when interviewd on BBC News over the weekend.

Hmm interesting...I think we should support this, therefore run around your family, friends and pets, dress them in a sweater and a beard and email me the pictures, I will be more than happy to get myself on another banned list for this.
