Remember back in April when I co-sponsored the VAIN Hot Hair giveaway for Seattle-area brides? Well, I wanted to share this awesome photo of the winner, Shayla, rocking her wedding day hair and custom Hair Poison fascinator alongside VAIN stylist, Kelly. LOOK AT THE HOTNESS!

For more info about hot wedding hair in Seattle and those badass fascinators, get in touch with my ladies at VAIN. They've taken care of my offbeat hair since 2001, so obviously I love them.

Attention Seattle ladies! I'm cosponsoring a hot hair give-away with my beloved hair salon, VAIN.

Yes, I'm a total whore for them: they've been doing my hair since 2001 when I cut off my dreadlocks with a pair of fingernail scissors and went limping in afterwards looking like an escapee from the Home For Mentally Deranged Pixies. They produce the best hair blog in Seattle. They invented my pink braids.

Anyway, enough about me. VAIN of course rocks the wedding hair, and if you're in Seattle, you definitely want to win this bridal package.

WIN THIS STUFF FROM VAIN & OFFBEAT BRIDE:

1. Bridal updo at VAIN downtown ($75 value)
2. Wedding waxing (brows, bikini, whatever you want) with VAIN's waxing queen Belinda in the private waxing studio above VAIN downtown ($75 value)
3. Custom "Hair Poison" bridal headpiece by Sweet Revenge, aka VAIN stylist Kelly (pictured above!), who donates a portion of Sweet Revenge proceeds to the National Cervical Cancer Coalition — she's a survivor. ($100 value)
4. Awesome "Altar your thinking" Offbeat Bride tshirt.

For rules, how to enter, and pictures of Hair Poison headpieces from my hot ladyfriends at VAIN, keep reading.
