E 15/8/07 Win a VIP trip to Paris (You need a willing hairy man to enter)

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/competitions/2007/07/13/win-a-luxury-weekend-in-paris-89520-19429768/

Is your man the hairiest in the UK?
Enter him now for a Veet for men ‘smooth-over’ and the chance to win a fantastic holiday.

It’s bad news for full–on furry men like Sean Connery and Simon Cowell, according to new research by male hair removal expert, Veet for Men, more than half of women (56%) list a hairy back as the biggest turn-off in a man!
To save the UK from this Summer’s biggest crime – unsightly ‘bear’ backs, Veet for Men has teamed up with https://www.mirror.co.uk to launch a nationwide search to find Britain’s hairiest man! And once we’ve found him we’re going to have his hairy, overgrown pecs and delts "manscaped” in a glamorous Veet for Men ‘smooth-over’ with Veet Beauty Panellist, Sarah Bunkell.
Once smoothed and groomed to perfection, our lucky winner will be whisked away for an amazing luxury weekend break for two in Paris. The romantic city break includes return Eurostar travel from Waterloo to Paris, 2 nights accommodation at a 4 star hotel, breakfast and a 3-day Metro Paris pass to whiz you around the city of love!

To enter, simply fill in the form below, remembering to upload a recent photograph showing your man’s hairy torso in all its glory. Only entries accompanied with recent photographs will be accepted.
Plus, ten runners up are in with a chance of winning Veet for Men goody bags, including Veet for Men Gel Cream - a quick and effective formula that gently dissolves the hair within minutes and Veet for Men Wax Strips - a great option for men who want results that last.
