Big hair, beer can earrings
The city of Lynnwood is holding a Big Hair Photo Contest to create art for a traffic signal box. The theme is modeled after the sketch comedy TV show “Almost Live” which made the phrase “Big Hair and Blue Eye Shadow” popular about Lynnwood.
Entrants — women and men — who lived in the Lynnwood area or south Snohomish County in the 1980s or ’90s can enter up to two images.
The winner’s photo will appear large on the box. Others will appear in smaller form in a collage.
No entry fee. Deadline is May 31.
