Subject: [NEohioPAL]Rock Star Impersonator Look Alikes Needed
Message-ID: <29821437.1163108414667.JavaMail.root at elwamui-polski.atl.sa.earthlink.net>

I'm putting together a few impersonators for a quick hour long appearance for
a client at the Renaissance down town on March 30th from 6:30-7:30 pm. No performing needed, just
a look alike or at least a charicature of a character to be present.

We already have Elvis, Cher, Elton John, John Lennon, and possibly even an Ozzy.  But what we'd
really love is a Michael Jackson or Stevie Wonder or Tina Turner or some other black
rock star look alike who is actually black and won't have to wear black makeup.

Please send any possibilities my way, even white stars :-)

Leigh
