RKH get set to pay hair-raising homage to hirsute heroes in aid of Rainbows charity appeal
15th November 2007
Staff at Leicester Communications Agency Rock Kitchen Harris are in for a hair-raising time during the next month as they take up a moustache growing challenge in aid of a Leicester charity appeal.
Directors designers, creatives and account managers are all set to get in on the act during the next four weeks as they 'tache up' to raise cash for the Rainbows Appeal. Hirsute inspiration has already come to the fore with Mexican bandit style droopy taches, Thomas Magnum inspired bushy soup strainers and Gomez Adams pencil moustaches among the weird and wonderful styles staff are committed to cultivating.
The hairy horror show was kicked off on Friday with a facial follicle amnesty involving all competitors reporting to the starting line with a final shave before the big tache-off fully swings into action - culminating in an agency Christmas party in Hamburg at the beginning of December. All competitors have pledged a £10 individual competition entrance fee with each fee matched to the tune of £40 from the agency with all funds donated to the Rainbows Foundation appeal.
John Harris, RKH Director said: “We are anticipating some hair-raising sights over the next four weeks. It's going to be a real homage to hirsute heroes everywhere with Lee Van Cleef, Groucho Marx and Terry Thomas, all names that have been mentioned by staff as styles they are seeking to create. On a more serious note we are hoping to raise a substantial amount for the Rainbows Foundation, a really worthwhile local charity that is very close to the heart of the agency.”
