The “Best Lie about Your Age” Contest going strong!

Krizia from www.myBeautyMatch.com

There have been thousands of people from across the country visiting the DefineYourself.ca site to share their best lie stories. Nothing like a cool contest to grab people’s attention.

It’s quite fascinating how much easier it is to get people to admit to lying about their age in total anonymity as opposed to getting them to admit this on camera.

A few weeks ago, I tagged along with Aimee from DefineYourself.ca to invite Torontonians to share their best lie stories. Most people were quite happy to hear about the contest and they were thrilled at the idea of being able to win $1,000 of MedSpa pampering and rejuvenation, but when it came time to actually getting them to talk on camera … that was a whole different ball game.

The truth is that most people have lied about their age at some point or another for whatever reason, but they don’t necessarily let others know of that publicly.
People lie about their age for a number of reasons:

  • Vanity
  • Industry related realities for those working in front of the camera
  • Ageism in the work place and the fear of being passed over for promotion
  • Dating a younger partner
  • Dating after a recent divorce or the break-up of a long term relationship
  • Body image issues and not feeling happy about the visible signs of aging
The Best Lie About Your Age Contest will run until August 22, 2008. The judging panel consists of women from DefineYourself.ca’s previous season casts and yours truly!

The contest is open to all Canadian men and women and will be judged based on the craftiest and most outrageous story.

To participate, simply visit www.defineyourself.ca to enter!
