Former Pussycat Doll launches 2016 search for Southport and Formby's Specsavers
Spectacle Wearer of the Year
KIMBERLY Wyatt could easily be mistaken for a Hollywood starlet in her latest
shoot to launch Specsavers in Southport and Formby's search for the Spectacle
Wearer of the Year 2016.
The singer, dancer, MasterChef champion and mum has posed in a series of
stunning shots oozing old fashioned movie star glamour to encourage North West
specs wearers to pucker up and enter Specsavers' annual specs selfie
competition.
Proud specs wearers from every corner of UK can enter the competition to be in
with a chance of attending the star studded final in London and lifting the
overall crown, along with £10,000 in cash and an all expenses trip to global
fashion capital, New York.
Now in its 21st year, the competition raises valuable funds for anti bullying
charity Kidscape, which has totalled £300,000 to date.
Kimberly, 34, says:- "My taste in glasses is inspired by my idols Marilyn Monroe
and Brigitte Bardot who carried off that sexy cat's eye style so well. I've worn
glasses since I was teenager, I need them when I'm reading and writing my blogs,
so it's fun to be part of something that celebrates glasses and the people who
wear them."
Kimberly continues:- "Now that I'm a mum myself, I better understand how
important it is to make children feel good about themselves. Bullying, whatever
the reason, mustn't be tolerated. The fact we're raising awareness and helping
make wearing glasses cool for people of all ages is really important."
Stuart Roberts, store director at the Specsavers stores in Southport and Formby,
says:- "We want men and women of all ages to wear their specs with pride. The
Spectacle Wearer of the Year Awards offer the perfect opportunity for glasses
wearers in Southport to showcase their specs style to the whole country."
The competition has five age categories:- 16 to 24, 25 to 34, 35 to 44, 45 to 59
and over 60's, plus a Facebook favourite voted for by the public. A winner from
each category will win a VIP makeover and will mingle with celebrities at the
awards ceremony in London.
For each entry made £1 will be donated to the Kidscape, adding to the £300,000
the campaign has raised for the charity over the last 6 years. The money
raised will help to support them in providing training, support and advice for
children, parents, schools and those who may be affected by cases of bullying
and abuse in the UK.
To be in with a chance of scooping the biggest accolade in the specs wearing
world, glasses wearers can enter the competition
online.
