Each week, the coaches on Team One are alternately choosing the challenge topics for team members. This week, it's Bev's turn. She has chosen "celebrity lens." Here is what she has to say about it:
Celebrity Lens. This week's challenge is to write a lens about a celebrity. You can write about your favorite movie star, singer, songwriter, comedian, or musician. Perhaps you would rather write about a Politician (they have a celebrity status). The celebrity can be living or deceased and they can be an international celebrity or a local star. Authors have celebrity as do historians and scientists. If you could spend an evening with one celebrity (living or dead) who would it be and why? There are so many ways to approach this topic and you should be able to find good reference material and photos of your celeb. You can use the SquidWho template or use the regular Squidoo with themes. It is up to you.
The SquidWho template can be found here.
At the end of the week, the coaches will choose the winning lens for the Coaches Choice Award, and it will receive high honor here on this lens.
Below, find help links, and the lenses made by teammates — added as they are made.
Go Team!
This challenge is now over; the winner is listed directly below. Check it out; check out all of the submissions if you get the time.
