Throughout the month of November, Salazar Kia is offering customers the chance to win a free oil change and mini detail service at its Avondale car dealership.  For a chance to win this service prize, local residents need to look out for Susanne Salazar’s green Kia Sorento around town.

When customers spot the green Sorento, all they need to do is take a picture of the SUV and post it on the Salazar Kia Facebook page.  At the end of the month, Susanne will choose her favorite photo and the winner will be awarded the prize.

Only pictures of the green Sorento with the Salazar Kia side decals will count as entries.  Multiple entries will be accepted by the dealership, so anytime customers spot the car and snap a picture, they can enter for more chances to win.

However, as Salazar Kia encourages everyone to drive safely and follow all traffic laws, participants should not attempt to take a picture while driving.  Contestants who spot the Sorento on the road should flash their headlights, after which Susanne will pull over and allow the customer to take the photo.

To enter the contest or see a photo of Susanne’s green Sorento, become a fan of Salazar Kia on Facebook at http://facebook.com/SalazarKia.  Terms and conditions for the contest can be found at https://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=251149038266225.

Fur-Free Competition Sponsored by The Humane Society of the United States in Collaboration with The Art Institutes

[SAN DIEGO, NOVEMBER 23, 2009] – Local student Tatiana Zaykovskaya will represent The Art Institute of California – San Diego in The Humane Society of the United States’ fifth annual Cool vs. Cruel Fashion Design Competition. Cool vs. Cruel challenges students enrolled in The Art Institutes’ Fashion Design programs throughout North America to improve a runway look by Burberry, Thakoon, Michael Kors or Alexander McQueen, by finding creative ways to replace and reinterpret the use of animal fur.

Zaykovskaya was born and raised in Novosibirsk, Russia. She made the long journey to San Diego to pursue her degree in fashion design. Her “Fashion Soldier” design, inspired by a Michael Kors creation, represents hope for change. The dress highlights a palette of pure cream satin and white vinyl trim, coupled with the epaulettes made of synthetic hair and clear glass jewels sewn on by hand. The uniqueness of Zaykovskaya’s garment can be found in her creative use of long, platinum hair extensions, which she trimmed into shorter pieces to fit her original vision of a feminine, yet edgy, military-inspired design.

“Fashion is my passion,” said Zaykovskaya. “I enjoy doing everything connected to fashion, whether it’s drawing, sewing or daydreaming. I also enjoy taking care of my greyhound Niki, who I rescued two and a half years ago. I’m thankful for the opportunity to rescue Niki, and I hope people around the world feel the same compassion when they realize the extreme level of cruelty within the fur-manufacturing industry.”

Zaykovskaya is among the 16 local finalists who were chosen out of more than 100 entries to compete for the top prize nationally. Their entries will be judged by a panel of fashion industry judges including designers Marc Bouwer, Charlotte Ronson, Victoria Bartlett, Nick Friedberg and Elizabeth Olsen; magazine editors Dana Wood, Mickey Boardman and Shelly Vella; and renowned fashion photographer Nigel Barker. The grand-prize winner will receive a trip to New York City for the award presentation on Nov. 11, as well as an expense-paid, weeklong internship during New York Fashion Week with celebrated fur-free designer Victoria Bartlett.

“This contest allows future professional designers to show major designers like Michael Kors or Alexander McQueen that not only is fur unnecessary, but that there are more creative and aesthetically pleasing design options on the table for those with an innovative eye and a compassionate fashion philosophy,” said Sarika Reuben, deputy manager of The HSUS’ fur-free campaign.
