On June 30, 2003, in celebration of National Blonde Day and in conjunction with the highly anticipated release of MGM Pictures' "Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde," MGM and Vidal Sassoon have joined forces to show that blondes really do have more fun. Vidal Sassoon salons in 10 cities across the country will open their doors to the public to give free "Flash of Blonde" hair color treatments. In keeping with "Makeover America" (this year's National Blonde Day theme), Sephora will also be in the salons sponsoring makeovers with stila cosmetics' "Legally Blonde 2"-inspired color palettes, and O.P.I. will be on hand to offer manicures with their LB2-inspired polishes. Starring Reese Witherspoon, "Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde" opens in theaters on July 2, 2003.

"We're thrilled to be working with Vidal Sassoon again to celebrate National Blonde Day," says Eric Kops, the naturally dark-haired but blonde-at-heart senior vice president of publicity at MGM. "We worked with them to promote the first film and it was a huge success. With their help, this National Blonde Day celebration will be even bigger and better than before."

"We are pleased to introduce 'Flash of Blonde' in celebration of National Blonde Day. 'Flash of Blonde' is a personalized hair color process that reveals an individual's blondeness at heart," says Andrea Jean, the very blonde marketing manager for Vidal Sassoon salons.

On June 30, Vidal Sassoon salons in Los Angeles, New York, Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Miami, San Francisco, Scottsdale, Toronto, and McLean, VA, will be available to help people make "blonde transformations." Interested blondes-to-be should contact the Vidal Sassoon in their area to get more information and make an appointment.

Reese Witherspoon is back as Elle Woods in "Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde." Directed by Charles Herman-Wurmfeld, the film also stars Sally Field, Regina King, Jennifer Coolidge, and Bruce McGill, with Bob Newhart and Luke Wilson. Produced by Marc Platt and David Nicksay, the screenplay is by Kate Kondell from a story by Eve Ahlert & Dennis Drake and Kate Kondell, based on the characters created by Amanda Brown.
