‘Blonde’ winner named
Toy Wong of Waimanalo was made to feel like a princess for a day as the winner of Neiman Marcus's "Legally Blonde 2" makeover contest sponsored by the store and MGM Pictures.
Wong was making a purchase at the Frederic Fekkai counter when the salesperson encouraged her to enter.
"I wasn't going to enter because I never win anything," she said. "In fact, when she called me to tell me I'd won, I didn't believe it. My first thought was, 'Uh oh, something happened with my credit. Maybe I didn't pay my bill or something.'
"But I told her I'd take her to lunch if I win so I'm keeping my word."
The winning entry was pulled by NM boss Al Tomonori. Wong won a makeover, $1,000 shopping spree -- she quickly settled on a silver and onyx bracelet from David Yurman -- and gift boxes full of cosmetics and hair care products from Laura Mercier and Frederic Fekkai, respectively. Those who see the movie may spot Fekkai in a cameo role as "Legally Blonde 2" star Reese Witherspoon's hair stylist in a beauty salon.
Although Wong hadn't seen the film before picking up her prize yesterday, she said the experience was similar to another Witherspoon film, "Sweet Home Alabama," in which the Tiffany store was opened to Witherspoon and her boyfriend alone for his proposal.
"I felt like that today," Wong said. "The store was closed and they opened early just for me."
