I received word late last night that the Dalai Lama's peeps are looking for hazel-eyed babes. Here is what they say:

"This is His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama's ‘Year of Children and Peace'. His campaign is called, "Seeds of Compassion" (seedsofcompassion.org ).

BABIES: Boys and Girls, 3-6 MONTHS only...NO OLDER! Only hazel, greenish hazel, or green eyed babies... NO BROWN, as we need to see the iris of their eyes for a close-up. We can see any ethnicity as long as the eyes are hazel, greenish hazel or green.

All kids will need to bring a very recent picture they don't need back. Please register on WorldPerc.com to print your contact information

Please reply by telephone ONLY. Call between 10am and 4pm ONLY on 1/30, 1/31 or 2/1. Spaces are limited. We shall screen for auditions times only on the phone: 206-448-0927"

When she isn't writing about kids and families, Lilium Pierson can be found adventuring in Seattle with her young daughter, "Gub." Their favorite activities include library visits, Sundays at the West Seattle farmers market and exploring their neighborhood. Pierson's work has appeared in Seattle Business Monthly.
