Love and Life Architects’ Worldwide Billionaire Bachelor Search at Blast Blow Dry Bar

As part of a national search, 300 women recently converged at Blast Blow Dry Bar's ALoft location for Round 1 auditions in the Love and Life Architects’ Worldwide Billionaire Bachelor Search. 

Below, Kailen Rosenberg of Love and Life Architects, Dez from KS95, and Kristen Neafus of Blast Blow Dry Bar conduct an interview.

The Bachelor is described as "32 years old, an extreme sports enthusiast who loves the ocean and the mountains, a world traveler, a trained culinary hobby chef and a philanthropist from one of the most prominent and respected families in the world."

This event was co-sponsored by KS95, who raised $10K for their KS95 For Kids fund, helping children in this community who are living with cancer or a complex disability.

During the Round 2 auditions, scheduled for March 6 at Blast's West End location, 50 women chosen from Round 1 will compete for 5 Finalist spots.  Then, on March 9, the finalists will meet at Love and Life Architects Wayzata.  Finalists selected to meet the Bachelor will receive complimentary blowouts and makeup touch ups from Blast Blow Dry Bar.

Nominations Now Open for The McKnight Foundation 2013 Virginia McKnight Binger Awards in Human Service

The McKnight Foundation invites nominations for the 2013 Virginia McKnight Binger Awards in Human Service.

Click here to submit your nomination.

Each year The McKnight Foundation recognizes up to six Minnesotans who have demonstrated an exceptional personal commitment to helping others in their communities but who have received little or no public recognition.

In alignment with McKnight's mission, the Foundation seeks individuals who attend, unite, and empower others in communities throughout Minnesota. Here, we define individuals who "attend" as those who serve people or organizations directly; who "unite" as those who bring people together around a shared goal; and who "empower" as those who enable people to help themselves and others.

Each awardee receives $10,000 and is honored at a ceremony in late summer.

The awards, which were first presented in 1985, are named for Virginia McKnight Binger, the Foundation's first board chair and the daughter of the founders. Although she passed away in December 2002, these awards help us remember Virginia's enduring spirit of compassion, humility, and generosity.

Last year’s recipients include community activists, youth mentors, healers, and advocates for the immigrant population.
