I put together a montage of media reaction from all over the country for fun. I love some of banter this Mohawk thing caused with some of these anchors! Hope ya like it:
CNN Headline News LIVE INTERVIEW with Wayne Brekke and me!
The record for world’s tallest Mohawk according to Guinness is 53 centimeters, held by a man in Boston. A guy in Germany broke it in August at 61 centimeters, but the Boston man's record is officially still holding with Guinness. My length of 68.5 centimeters has been sent to Guinness, so the record sould be officially brought home to Omaha soon.
One of the requirements is to get the record-breaking attempt in the media, and I have definately done that. The Mohawk conformed to all other Guinness regulations, which state that it will be held up by hairspray, gel, or mousse.
I got the idea when I saw the former record holder on The Ellen Show. When he said how long it was, I knew I could beat it.
I happen to know from working at Universal Press Clipping Bureau that Guinness record attempts are picked up by the media all over the country all the time. I gave it some thought, and decided to use this opportunity to raise money and awareness for charity, and bring together as many people and business as I could to get involved.
The day came together so well and was a complete success, thanks to all the help from the sponsors and everyone involved.
Thank you so much, this has been a great learning experience, and a lot of fun!
Friday morning, November 14th, 10:00 A.M., at Capitol School of Hair Styling, Eric Hahn of The Filthy Few dawned a Mohawk that stood 27 inches tall, destroying the former record of 24 inches!
