Beard of Love

If you’re looking for love and you're in the market for an overweight bald man with a foot-long beard, you’re going to have to fight for your chance. Jon Skonieczny AKA “Jonny Promo” is holding a contest at WCCC-FM, the rock station where he works as a promotions manager for ladies to compete for a chance to date him. The 35-year-old from Middletown Connecticut holds a bachelors degree in psychology from the University of Connecticut and counts mooning a crowd of 10,000 concert goers as a fond memory.

So far the contestants have had to create homemade bathing suits and will likely participate in the kind of crazy antics that have make rock radio such a lucrative enterprise. Skonieczny will choose the lucky winner on June 27 and she will be awarded with lots of quality time with Jonny Promo and his beard, including a hot-air balloon ride, a sky dive for two and a stay at the MGM Grand at Foxwoods. Good luck, Jonny! [Hartford Courant]
