A woman has sold space on her forehead for $10,000\. Golden Palace dot com bought the spot, which is now permanently inked. Even the tattooist tried to talk her out of it. It would seem that she's had a run of very bad luck and some money will make everything all right. [Link](http://deseretnews.com/dn/view/1%2C1249%2C600145187%2C00.html?ref=thedailyeudemon.com). Excerpts:

> Smith's ad is a labor of love and actually a positive in her life, something she says her life hasn't been filled with lately: a failed marriage and deaths of several family members – most recently, her sister in a car crash April 18.

> Smith said the money will give her son the education boost she believes he needs after falling behind in school since the accident.

> "For the all the sacrifices everyone makes, this is a very small one," she said. "It's a small sacrifice to build a better future for my son." . . .

> Bidding reached $999.99 before Goldenpalace.com, an Internet gambling company in the Mohawk Territory of Kahnawake, Canada, clicked "buy now," meeting Smith's $10,000 asking price and ending the auction two days early.

> Smith said she talked to several companies and received multiple offers, but she decided Goldenpalace.com would be the best choice.

> "We decided to go with these guys because they work with a lot of charities," she said. "I want this to mean something."

> Jon Wolf of the company's marketing department said skin is not an uncommon spot for the casino to advertise: It already has another forehead, more than 100 arms, legs, chests and backs.

> Smith is the first woman to have her forehead tattooed with an advertisement, and "we like having a collection of firsts," Wolf said.
