Maxim Bumper Crop

It's the 10th week of the Maxim Hometown Hotties competition, which is the last week of the first round. The top vote getters will move on to semi-finals, which may involve more public voting, but I'm not sure. Another model I've worked with is in this week's competition, so be sure to stop by and vote for Sheena early and often before next monday. She submitted one of my shots and two from Andrew Nicholson. Andrew's look great, as always, but I'm a little confused about mine. The original image was the full-body shot (at top) and someone decided to crop it for a thumnail (at left), which is OK, but when you click the thumbnail, you just get a somewhat enlarged version of the thumnail, with an extended black background at the top and right. I don't really know what she submitted, or why they did it this way, but don't hold it against her and please take a minute to vote for her. She's good people.
Here's one of my favorite shots of Sheena with Destiny. Destiny is still in the running over at the FHM Digital Darlings competition which goes on for almost 3 more weeks, so please stop by and vote for her whenever you're surfing around online. The voting is a 1-10 scale, but it's structured so that not only can you vote Destiny as a "10" but you can go through and vote everyone else a "1" if you have that kind of time on your hands. I'm not suggesting it, but as far as these kinds of contests go, it doesn't seem like a very fair system. Maybe FHM just figures that if someone is going to go through and vote against people, that still increases the traffic for the purposes of calculating their advertising rates, which is really the name of the game. Sort of like "American Idol" voting where the big winner is... the phone companies. Nevertheless, with your help, maybe Sheena and Destiny will win big.
