NAMPA, IDAHO -- Sarah B., an 18-year-old honor roll high school student and regular visitor of the ColoradoGuy forums, has announced her candidacy for Hair Consultant in the upcoming mid-April 2006 election. The Idaho resident is known affectionately as "God's Chosen Angel" on the discussion forums.

Sarah originally found the Poetry Forum on this web site three years ago, after searching for a place to share her poetry and receive feedback from her writings. Since then, Sarah has become a personal friend of Steve and even attended the 2004 ColoradoGuy Festival in Manitou Springs, Colorado, where it became clear to all that she is loads of fun to be around.

"I'm not afraid to laugh at myself ... I do it all the time." wrote Sarah, "Vote for me. Not Pedro."

In her campaign announcement printed below, Sarah outlined some of her experience and passion for hair as reasons she is the best candidate for Hair Consultant. Presently, Sarah is finishing up her last year of high school, works a part-time job and plans to go to college in the fall. She also serves as a moderator on the Poetry Forum.

"Sarah definitely has pretty hair and I'm sure she would make a great Hair Consultant if she wins." said Steve, "It would be nice to have someone knowledgeable to talk to about my hair which is very high maintenance of course."

Although campaign rules do not allow official running mates and only Sarah's name will be placed on the ballot, Sarah is promoting a cute brunette from Norway nicknamed "Bloom" as her so-called running mate. Bloom visits the discussion forums on a regular basis and has even talked to Steve on the phone (from Norway!) on a few occasions.

Sarah's Official Press Release

"I am officially and formally announcing that I am running for the 2006 Hair Constultant position.

I am more than qualified for the position.

1. I have my own beautiful hair, which has at many points in my life been long. Bloom also has amazing hair.

2. We know how to take care of hair. Even when colored, highlighted, and sometimes damaged, we manage to keep very soft, shiny, beautiful hair, and we will keep your hair just as healthy.

3. I've cared about your hair for years, and even tried to run in the past.

4. We know what we're doing when it comes to hair. You can't go wrong with two women who are hair experts.

5. I've been at CG festivals in the past, and will be at this festival, unlike most of the previous consultants.

There's no way around it, Bloom and I are the perfect candidates.

Plus, we're cute. Pete can't beat that." -Sarah

The position of Hair Consultant was created in October 1998 so that one person could be a coach, advice-giver and encourager for Steve in growing his long, naturally curly hair as long as possible. Since then, the position has changed with the times and now includes the Hair Consultant being a "public figure" on this web site. There have been 14 Hair Consultants in the history of Steve's hair.

The Hair Consultant election will be held on April 13-16, 2006, and all are encouraged to vote. Visit the 2006 Hair Consultant election page for more details.
