What is it with Mini and its Life Ball cars? Much as we applaud Mini’s selfless support of Europe’s biggest AIDS charity event, why do they have to be so hideous?
Last year we saw the S&M-tastic Agent Provocateur Mini, and this year it’s the turn of renowned (so we’re told) ‘creative double act’ The Blonds. They’ve created this eye-molesting monstrosity for Katy Perry (she of the girl-kissing fame) who, we’re told, will escort her Mini down the Blue Carpet at the Life Ball before performing her mildly lesbian hit single.
Yes, we understand that the Blond Mini is ‘making a statement’ and all that, but jeez, it truly is hideous, isn’t it? If you disagree, you’ll be happy to hear that the Mini will go into a prize draw after the ball, with tickets costing a mere 10 Euros and, naturally, all profits going to charity. They’re available here.
But would it be charitable to refuse your prize if you won? Let’s get some ethical debate started.
Shocking pink
American designers created Katy Perry-themed Mini for charity. Don’t stare at it for too long…
