Cheerio, 'Dynamos!' - Winners of POND'S 'Search for the Dynamos' Contest Head to London for the Star-Studded World Premiere of the Musical Romantic Comedy MAMMA MIA!
ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., June 26 PRNewswire — Three real-life "Dynamos" are preparing to walk the red carpet with Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan and Christine Baranski at the world premiere of MAMMA MIA! in London on Monday, June 30. The sexy, sassy, confident 40+ winning trio in POND'S "Search for the Dynamos" singing contest, Janet Moland, Chris Drake and Michele Garel, will enjoy a long weekend of glitz and glamour with their all-expenses-paid trip to London to attend the red carpet event.
Recently, POND'S, the No. 1 wet towelette brand that gives women the beauty "edge," celebrated the "Dynamo" in 40+ women by hosting the "Search for the Dynamos" singing contest. POND'S, the official skincare sponsor of Universal Pictures' upcoming musical romantic comedy MAMMA MIA!, searched coast to coast for trios of sexy, sassy, confident 40+ women to sing — just like the "Donna & the Dynamos" from the film — for the chance to win a trip to the world premiere of MAMMA MIA!
Christine Baranski, Emmy and two-time Tony Award Winner and one of the stars of MAMMA MIA!, helped in the search. "I am so glad to have worked with POND'S on such a motivating program that celebrates women," said Baranski. "The winning trio — as well as all of the ladies who participated — represent all 40+ ladies who know what their assets are and how to play them up because when women look good, they feel good, and that confidence shows."
The winning trio from Dayton, OH, includes a mother, a rocker and an insurance agent who have been friends for more than 15 years. Bound together by experiences of loss and hardship, the group known as the "Survivors," showed-off its "Dynamo" by singing "Mamma Mia." They were crowned winners of the national contest by a panel of expert judges and by people's votes from across the nation.
"We have loved being a part of this exciting contest," said winner Janet Moland. "Chris, Michele and I have overcome unfortunate circumstances in our lives, so it was important to prove to ourselves and to all 40+ women that you can be a 'Dynamo' at any age, no matter your life experiences."
The four runners-up trios, who will each receive a pink iPod(R) nano,* include:
— Cecelia Wilson, Angie Stevens and Denise Johnston of Cabot City, AR — Dawn Doherty, Kerry Hedley and Karen Perdoza of Orange County, CA — JoAnn Robertozzi, Lorraine Ferro and Theresa Sareo of New York, NY — Darlene Mahon, Goldie Ingersoll and Lynn Schatz of Kennewick, WA
