Sofia to stage international 'blonde convention'
An international 'blonde convention' would be held in Sofia in the autumn of 2010. Bulgaria's capital will host this unprecedented and unique gathering, which is set to draw as many as 5000 participants from 20 different countries, Bulgarian media reported.
"
We are a privileged part of the female race, and many humorous jokes are being told about us. We even tell blonde jokes to ourselves,"
Olga Uskova from the International Association of Blondes told private Bulgarian television channel bTV.
"
We expect more than 5000 blondes to descend on the Sofia parade. The blonde will be radiating so much it will be seen from the Mir space station. Everyone will see how in Sofia there are so many blondes in one place,"
Uskova was quoted as saying.
Meanwhile, the event itself will also have an anthem – which will be sung by a Bulgarian brunette. "
I just want to demonstrate to everyone that there is peace between us brunettes and blondes and that we understand each-other"
the singer, known by her stage-name as Klavdia, said.
