I spent my whole morning at Navotas Polytechnic College the other day, because the 'GATSBY Style Hub' bus is visiting them for the first time! The hunt is on for the next GATSBY Style Icon! The contest is open to all male between 15 to 25 yrs. old. To join just visit the Gatsby Style Hub bus and booths that will be visiting different schools and universities nationwide from October 17 to December 7, 2011.



From all the photos, there will be 'TOP 6' based on these criterias:  40% Styling, 40% Photography and 20% Public Vote. The Gatsby Style Icon Top 6 will undergo a series of workshops and trainings to help them develop their personality, appeal and style. Then they will battle it out in different challenges such as: Styling, Photography and Public Speaking.


Then one winner will get a free trip (for two person) to Tokyo Disneyland for three (3) days and two (2) nights, he will also get a special feature in Chalk Magazine and will bring home Gatsby Products worth Php5,000!







After you filled-out the form, they will give you a sheet of paper that contain your full name, age and your school. Then you must go inside The GATSBY Style Hub Bus, where you can try and use all the variants of GATSBY WAX.



GATSBY WAX is available in five (5) variants! Black is "Mat and Hard" which is the best seller of them all according to the guys at the Gatsby bus, this one reminds me of Clay Doh of Bench/. Green is "Loose and Flow,  Red is Jaggedly Trendy.

Orange is "Tough and Shine", which is the one I always use since it has the right amount of 'shine effect' and 'setting power.' I don't like those other super shiny wax that looks like gel and don't like it "too hard" that it feels icky after a few hours, and of course you have to put a lot of shampoo just to take it off :D The last color is Purple, also dubbed as Hard and Free. This is the newest variant of Gatsby and also the color of the bus and the uniform of the Gatsby girls.





After choosing the variant that you liked, style your hair, Gatsby Style! Then have your photo taken at the Photo booth inside the Style Hub Bus. All photos taken will be posted online at from October 17 to December 14, 2011.  All pictures will be posted online at www.gatsbyswagg.com by the agency representative present in the venue.




 

After the picture taking all participants will be given free six (6) samples of Gatsby Wax in sachets. Just like here in Navotas Polytechic College, they gave away three (3) green and three (3) purple variants to each participants.
