Riga, Latvia - Decked out in pink, their locks glinting in the sunshine, hundreds of blondes marched arm in arm through the Latvian capital Riga on Saturday, in an attempt to raise spirits in the slump-stricken Baltic state.

Tourists and locals marvelled as more than 800 blondes wove their way through the streets for the second edition of what organisers say they hope will become a regular annual event.

"I feel very good to be surrounded by so many beautiful women. It's great to be blonde," local student Linda told AFP.

For the 19 year-old, who turned out with her dog Sniffs, the event is mostly a fun day out with friends.



"It is just great to do something positive in Latvia and at the same time promote blondes as being fun, positive, intelligent people," said Ilze, a blonde helping out at the parade.

Started last year by a group of like-minded local blondes, the march aims to bring some cheer to Latvians, who have had little cause to smile recently. ...

Whatever floats their boat, I guess.  It made me laugh.  *shrug*

We have a community organizer running the show here and they have a pageant princess, maybe.

I'm sure the organizer of that event has at least as much managerial experience as Obama.

Round trip flight from Boston to Riga, $1500.  Stopover in Frankfurt.

I could see this--if I won the Powerball.

Don't see no ugly in that pic.  Nice legs.  Could not have been a Latvian DU fest.
