A Belgian student has sold the foreheads of himself and his friends to pay for his 20th Birthday Party.

Kris Dries put up their foreheads as advertising space as he had no money to buy food or drinks for the bash.

The eBay auction was won by a marketing firm in Waregem which will foot the bill for all party goers who have the firms logo painted on their fore heads for the night.

Any who do not want their foreheads used for advertising can still go to the party but they have to pay their own way.

Kris said he was delighted the winning bidder had agreed to pay for up to £1,750 worth of food and drink.

He said '' I was hoping to make 200€''. Thanks to the sponsor I will be able to have an unforgettable 20th birthday.                                            

 I'm looking for a suitable location, as I will now be able to invite many more friends than the 50 that I had in mind.

INTERVIEW WITH KRIS DRIES

Hello Kris! Hope you will enjoy your party tonight. Please tell us at HaS why you decided to use your head for a sale in eBay?!

Well, I was rather tight for cash, because after all, I am a student! I have lots of foreign friends, so they would become a help to when it was sold and we had to advertise the logos. I was only expecting to raise 200!

How long was your head on auction for?

Well I would probably say a week, I had a reserve price for 200 but that flew off the market within ten minutes, I was very, very surprised! I mean a head?

What was the final selling price?

2257.35 (£1750)!

What logo will you be wearing tonight?

I will be wearing  - .!

Thank you Kris. Enjoy your luxurious party tonight!

Cheers!

STATEMENT FROM MYSTERY BIDDER

''I am grateful for Mr. Dries to sell his head on eBay. I am a new company at the moment and I am looking for advertising at the moment, and, lets just say that isn't very cheap these days! I have supplied Kris with the logos and although I am now £1750 out of pocket, I feel that my companies that are all new have benefited from the advertising so I am very Grateful!''
