i sincerely believe that Tillie Ariantho is right about the voting system,but there´s nothing we can do about it,i myself got a lotta times tp-d to go vote on ladies that i know.i´m sure people even created alter accounts to get extra voting,i heard people saying in general chat that they didnt have more alters or others to call and come vote for the person.so yes,this was mainly one of those “let me get my people here to vote on me” contest.
still,some pretty ones made-it,in fact i think i know some avatars that can really kick-ass near some of the winners,if not,check Innika Ferraris,or Miranda Shepherd,Rona Robertson and a whole lot more ladies that i know look so much better than 90% of the winners.and excuse-me,i havent seen those RL pics on the contest…wasnt-it for avies?

ahem. i have been contacted by several acquaintances and a couple of friends to dash over and vote for them in this “contest”. i truly think, that any time an open contest is held, it boils down to who has the most friends. or some name recognition maybe.
gather 7 friends and go around to various clubs arriving 15 min before the contest closes and have one enter and all vote for her. you win.
for years these open contests have been gamed. so your winner will be the person who has worked within the rules and rigged things in their favor.
this is not about avatar beauty or skill at all.

Did this event ever got published elsewhere? I’d really like to participate in events like this if I only knew of them. And I can’t just read all the SL newspapers in hope to maybe find something about an event I’d like.

Remember the hair expo this year? You just couldn’t miss it. It was announced in groups, there were posters in many shops. You must have been blind to not see this event happening.

If you really want to get the best for a calendar, spread info. Wide.

Thank you.

Really? That bad? Wow. I must be losing my touch. I’ll think of something better.

No Tenshi, it was just so rediculously unfunny that I grew very, very angry.

I talk to the wind…

Oh look…Callie Cline’s promoting herself again. Let’s see….she does what in SL again?”

You certainly know what she does in SL. What a self-righteous tone and pompous attitude. Pity!
I thought such things never happened in SL and that it was a world of fun, freedom and understanding. Sad!
But I’ll give you some hints anyway (and thus enlighten others who pretend to be “not aware”).
Callie Cline is one the most prominent fashion brands and personalities in SL. And she is a hundred percent SL personality who has become a celebrity in RL. In fact thats how I got curious about SL!
SL should be about tolerance… I think she should be supported for her success that she has built in-life. And has been able to carry it out to RL. And it was Maxim readers chose her! But you already know all that!

As far as Callie goes, between Maxim and the Pontiac ads, could Callie be a newer public face of SL in the manner of “Sex Sells?” On that same note, what would Robin Linden’s calendar spread look like? Maybe she should get March, seeing as its women’s history month in the US.”
If you take the virtual world so seriously why are you there? Why don’t you exist outside it? Why don’t you do something about the wars, the injustice going on… Easy to sit and criticize and write… Why don’t you come over and live where I live…
I’ll bet you have no idea what 8th of March is about. What it means to not only women in the US but also to the women of the world… Or you would not talk about these people in such a condescending manner.

My answer to these “much ado about nothing” comments is of sheer disappointment and my answer is:
“Im on the outside looking inside
What do I see
Much confusion, disillusion
All around me…”
I also congratulate the Avastar for this fun project… The name of the competition is by the way “Women of Second Life Calendar Contest” and The Avastar invites “Second Life’s most stunning women to showcase the heights of virtual world beauty and fashion”. And anyone meeting this criteria can participate!
Freedom of choice and expression… Yes, but it also means not tearing those people to pieces because they have made their choices!

Another fake “first” claim – embarrassing.
Claims still not corrected or retracted.
Looks like they specialize in stolen ideas – no respect – and no clue.
Sorry, have to tell it like it is.

I’m completely perplexed by the above commenter. Is there an anti-Brangelina campaign I don’t know about?

“Wait… where’s Brangelina?”

No, not funny. Like, at all. Knock it off.

Wow. Was it just me, or were those avatars distinctly un-hot?

I guess I’d like to see more originality and “I scanned this!” from Second Life fashion.
