[Holy big pix, sorry for that! ahahah click the link if you wanna see the pix. ROFLz!]
http://12avatars.com is sponsoring a contest for two lucky winners to get voted into a calendar that will be available both in-world and out of world. This is a chance and opportunity to be able to not only share that avatar you've worked so hard on creating and maintaining, but to give the rest of the physical world a chance to really see into the life of an SL girl. Sure, not everyone comes to live on the Grid for fashion, or prestige, or to be out there mingling and socializing with the who's who, but still we all represent a personality of who we are represented in a digital world. Its an amazing phenomena that continues to just advance more and more.
When I first came to second life, two years ago (prior char yep, no dramaz, just wanted a change) there were no prim skirts, prim hair was still a rather new thing, no sculpties, no voice chat, when there were 13,000 people on the grid it was like omg holy crowd! Yet, I had a dream like a lot of others, to experience this world for all that its worth and to be a part of a new type of life, a virtual life that emulates real life in all sense, this isn't a hack n'slash, Ub3rl33tz, raiding style MMO.
Whether we're designers, DJs, models, scripters, consumers, builders, land barons, own a company, shopper, clubber, etc, we all have a purpose to fulfill in our second lives, otherwise we wouldn't spend all our time in this world (we all know what we loathe about SL lolz). This calendar is sparking competitiveness that the fashion industry (rl/sl) really encourages, to find out who wants the title, the job, the climb to the top the most. Women from all areas, all professions, all SL pursuits have put their entry in to be part of this venture. That in itself makes it an unique opportunity for every digital female!
The Grand Winner and First Runner Up win by popular votes =o! So that evens the playing field a little, because anyone could win, if they have enough votes. Which also means that anyone with enough friends, persuasiveness and creativeness could obtain enough votes to win, whether they are really beautiful in the publics fashion eyes or not. This is an interesting conflict, do we want to vote in someone who is seen by the SL fashion industry as "gorgeous, sexy, high style?" or do we find that in the end, someone less than stellar has won due to a better campaign for votes?
"12Avatars is the best printed calendar of Second Life’s top beauties. With stunning women from cover to cover, it showcases the heights of virtual world beauty and fashion."
This statement from 12avatars contest entry form seems to want the best of the best for the calendar. Everyone is beautiful in their own right, but we all know ruthed, default linden lab characters are not what we want to be seen as. Its up to you, the public, to vote for your friends, your family, and those who want to be impartial, to find the one woman you think would bring the description of what 12avatars is looking for.
We'll see next Monday who wins! Good luck to everyone. Last count there were over 380+ entries, and I am sure this week will prove who really wants the opportunity to represent a Second Life woman and to show the world what we are made of!
Yes, I entered :P
