HowdA All.
I was curious to get your feedback on this issue.
FIbreglass cometitors (here in the UK) usually get shafted at the majority of the industry competitions. Why? Because they will almost always get lumped in with L&P competitors at the very last minute as the Fibreglass competitors are usually a smaller group.
Well, lets face it... with the vast majority of systems, L&P competitors can have a pretty big advantage as the Fibreglass results are compared to wining L&P results. That doesnt mean the FG doesnt look better, or thinner, or more natural... it just means that the ruler used to measure the 'winningness' of the FG set is based on L&P results.
(and you wonder why the FG competitor group is usually smaller)
So, you can understand my happiness when I hear that FG will get it's own category at the NEC in Birmingham next month. Hurray I say.
Now here is where I start to get a little curious.
FG competitors have been told that they may not use French Tips or 'Paint on' white products (i.e. More Than White by Fabric#).
In other words, no FG results can have a French look to them.
Why? I am assuming that it is because some FG users can not get decent results using French Tips, etc...
Therefore, to make it fairer to those that can not acheive a French look with FG, they make a rule that means no one can go for the French Look.
Isnt that like saying at the NBA (National Basketball Association) playoffs, no one can slam dunk because only some players are good at it?
I was just curious on your opinion on the issue... is it fair? is it not? is there another solution that works for everyone?
