Blondes vs. Brunettes Gallery Night June 24, 2010

The ultimate question of “Who’s hotter?” is finally settled on June 24th, 2010 at the Rik Rak Salon, Boutique & Bar as international artist Elisabetta Fantone puts it to a vote with an interactive exhibit entitled “Blondes vs. Brunettes”. Not to worry, no arduous registration process required for this election, as crossing the Rik Rak threshold completes the task, making every guest an eligible voter.

“Blondes vs. Brunettes” is a compilation of pieces from Fantone’s most recent pop-art collections: “Blonde Icons” and “Iconic Brunettes”. This collective series of portraits features icons like Sophia Lauren, Marilyn Monroe, Linda Evangelista, Kate Moss, and Elizabeth Taylor, among others. Fantone even showcases beauties from the ever-popular reality TV genre like starlet Gretchen Rossi. Fantone’s fascination with high-profile women who wear their hair color with such confidence and panache that it becomes their signature is what inspired her to paint Rossi, Bravo’s The Real House Wives of Orange County’s most controversial blonde, and invite her to participate in the event. Rossi, who has recently launched Gretchen Christine Beaute, a line of stunning beauty products, will share the night with Fantone by unveiling the line to the women of Miami, while celebrating her insatiable portrait by the artist.

These ladies may be easy on the eyes but they are also no slouches in the social media department. This event will be streamed live from the Rik Rak Salon, Boutique & Bar. As if being able to view this fete as it happens live is not enough, the online audience will also be invited to Tweet with the blonde & brunette guests of honor -Fantone, Rossi, Tessa and Raquel Watters (owner of Rik Rak)- throughout the event. These lucky interactive participants will also be able to cast their vote for their favorite painting and participate in other live give-aways right from the comfort of their home, globally! Not only will this be the party of the year combining beauty, art, fashion, and fun with some of the finest women stateside but it will also be a social media soiree for the ages – the first of it’s kind- NOT to be missed.
