Benetton casting is over …

March 18th, 2010

My Dear Friends,

I want to thank you with all my heart for your votes and support!

At the end, it s not about the votes, it s not about if I win or not, it s about the new friendships I made.

Ce n’est pas le chute qui compte mais l’atterrissage!
It is not the fall that counts but the landing!

Thank you again for your support!
Love & positivity!!
Friendship & happiness ..

On to the next!!!

I also want to congratulate the 100 finalists and the 20 lucky ones going to NY.

Soooo NOW, we aaall know what to do, next time, if Benetton is searching for new models for their 2011 campaign; If you want it to be your time than it’s time to cheat:

1. Don’t live your live and lock yourself up @ home 24/7 (very pathetic)

2. Act like a monkey and be very unoriginal , copy-paste is a must!

3. Don’t look at the profile, just comment (yes some of the top 100 commented me several time, and I noticed they don’t even take a look at my profile, a sad and egoistic story)

4. Ask the local newspaper to put an announce / Ask company’s /Aks your friends and Family to vote for you, the more grey votes the more chance you can win …

5. Be aggressive, stalking is accepted

6. Ask your friends/family/company/sports club/ …. to stalk other contestants and beg for votes. You can even pay them to work for you for a month (like some did) !

7. Ask your IT nerd friend to Sabotage the whole thing and generate more votes.

8. …

Personally I used point 4, Yess, I asked my friends via facebook, my family and all CYMO readers to vote for me.

1224 votes and I think 846 comments in 21 days seems normal to me.
I saw people with 4500 votes with 200 comments  and less in 2 weeks? hmmmm, Do I smell cheaters here? oOoOo Yessss I do …
I ended number 346 from the 65000 contestants without stalking people with comments such as vote for me, vote for a vote in a very aggressive way or asking my mom to beg for votes 24/7.
I am happy.

This competition is a great marketing campaign from Benetton, a great opportunity to meet new interesting people.

Some of us learned in this competition how to cheat more ,and more, and more to obtain what they want.

Hmm, is this the future?

Anyway, I live so it’s still my time!! woehoeeeee
