AirNZ Cranial Billboards

Well I imagine a few of you guys have heard of this promotion which I believe was run in NZ earlier this year. To cut a long story short I applied to have my hair shaven off on the 26th of October down in Melrose near Hollywood. I was one of the 30 people selected and on stage I had my head shaved and then a henna tattoo applied to the back of my head. I needed to have this redone after 5 days and had to wear this around work and anything I did for 10 days. For doing this I got free return flights to Auckland from LA which I can use anytime up will Oct 31 2009.


It was quite the experience and really being shaven for the first time was somewhat scary but in the end not too bad. having the tattoo on the back of my head was something else. Very odd looks and stares and going out to a concert in San Diego had 5 people that night taking a picture of the back of my head. So just over 3 weeks later the tattoo is long gone and the hair is coming back surprisingly fast.

On Stage being interviewed (How many recognise the kiwi doing the interview?)

Well I'm now half bald

All Shaved. Jeez what a weird feeling... Scalp was so soft.

On with the temporary Henna Tattoo

Dunno Kurt, your hair is normally so short anyway that it's not much of a step to a shiny scalp! What an awesome way to get free tickets to NZ.
