Lacoste Contest

The clothing brand Lacoste is having an awesome SL contest to find the most beautiful avatar. The public will vote for the top 100 and then their judges will pick the top 6 male and female. Those avatars will split 1,000,000L!!!! I think that comes to about $600 us dollars a piece, pretty sweet. And the top male and female will also get to do a SL photo shoot with Lacoste in world and of course prestige and be able to say you were named "The Most Beautiful Avatar." Voting was going to begin on the 23rd but they have moved it to the 30th.

You should all go to Lacoste.com and when you get through to see the SL contestants, do a search for "Gwyneth Whitman" and vote for me :)

These are the pictures I chose to send in:

You also have to write a little something about your avatar and this is what my RL Betty wrote about me, she did a good job, sorta sounds cutesy, so like her:

Gwyneth is down to Earth and open-minded. She loves people, their personalities, their faults, their humor and imagination. She is a dreamer who likes to believe
in the good. Gwen loves to explore and be active. She loves fashion and would be
a wonderful choice to showcase the spirit of Lacoste.

Of course I wish I would have done a little research before I submitted. First of all their picture view is set up for the dimensions of SL snapshots which I'm sure makes good sense, but since I cropped mine in photoshop they all came out screwy. In the rules it states that part of the judging will be on photo quality and lighting, do they really think everyone does all that in SL? Makes me wish I would have spent more time taking pictures, finding locations and not just using my photosphere. And you have to give your RL info. My RL Betty didn't really seem to mind, but don't those Lacoste people know SL is a different world altogether? :)
