Duranium - the Element We Created

Image
 As some of you know, Duran Duran Worldwide created a new element called Duranium.  We even had a contest and invited some of you to write about where Duranium can be found in high concentrations.  Here's a lookback on some of that... The number 12,500, if you recall, is the amount of signatures we were hoping to get on our petition.  We never made it to that, but we did get the attention of over 12,500 with our blog and effort.

Some of you were a part of this when it first happened.  It was, as I witnessed it, a successful prank on the Duran Duran Worldwide and DDTTRH fans at the time.  We had told you we would have a special guest...and we even got Katy to announce it.  Many of you showed up on the Live Facebook post, anxiously awaiting the special guest.  By the announcement, you thought it might have been a band member.  Little did you know it would be a 'member' of the band.  LOL  Read on and find out who it really was... Original post 3/10/2013 Edited and written by Kirk Harrington, with questions from various fans. Special Thanks to Emily Vernon As some of you know, DDWW had a special guest with us yesterday at 10:30 EST (when Simon was sleeping)  and we had a LIVE interview with that guest on our Facebook page.  We noticed our guest out partying with Simon this week and we just had to make our move to induct that guest to a special honor...a place in the Hair of Fame.  This 'Hair of Fame
