MISS ZAG TOP 6 UPDATE

For those of you that don’t know yet, I have made it to the Top 6 of Miss Zag. I am still in shock and am so excited that I have gotten this far in this journey of mine. 

 

This has been an ongoing competition for the past four months or so, and all of the girls are exhausted. We have been constantly asking for votes, likes, comments, etc. But, for the top 6 it has all paid off because we get to shoot the Zigzag calendar for 2014. The girls from out of Cape Town fly in on the 6th of December, and we shoot from the 6th – 8th. It will be mind blowing. (So don’t forget to buy your Zigzag magazine at the end of December/start of January to get your calendar for 2014.) 😉

 

I have worked my BUTT off to get this far, and it is so rewarding to be apart of this years Top 6, but the winner still needs to be crowned. It is extremely tough competition this year as all of these girls are incredibly stunning and all match what Miss Zag is looking for to the T! I do, however, really need every single vote, every tweet and every comment I can possibly get. So if you would be able to help me out by doing one, two or ALL of the above, I would really appreciate it. The winner is announced on the 11th of December and I am beyond nervous and excited.

The prizes are: 

One of these finalists will then win the coveted title of Miss Zag, along with an *all expenses paid trip to Mauritius for two, made possible by All Aboard Surf Travel – including 7 nights, flights from JHB and standard airport transfers, plus loads of amazing loot from Rip Curl and Reef Brazil and the opportunity to be selected for a modelling contract from Boss Models.

Oh, and we’re throwing in a quiver of new surfboards for the winner too, just for good measure.

 

So, let’s just say that the prizes are life changing. Seriously massive! 

Now, this is what you can do to help: So our top 6 finalists will be shooting the 2014 online calendar in Cape Town on the 7 December. Send them some love by tweeting @MissZag with your message followed by #Misszag2014calendar … or, leave them a message here! The Miss Zag 2013 winner will be announced on the 11 December, so stay tuned. Exciting times!

Top 10 Miss Zag – What the competition means to me!

Many people have asked me about this Miss Zag competition. I’m not surprised why! Over the past 4 months I have been posting non-stop statuses asking you to vote for me, to support me, to comment on things, to like things. I’ve been inboxing you, wallposting you..and absolutely harassing you. All of you. Truth is, that seems to be the only way that these competitions work these days.
At first, I know people were hesitant to vote, and it was such a mission for people to stop what they were doing in their busy life to gave to vote for something they ‘aren’t part of’. But, eventually I learnt that just simply posting statuses on my wall had far more of an effect. There are some people that literally just scrolled over to my profile every time it crossed their mind to vote for me without me even having to say anything.

In the start, my votes went up excrutiatingly slowly! Snail pace. But over time, within a day sometime, my votes went up by over 50-100 votes. I wish you all knew just how much it meant to me! The butterflies that flew around my stomach numerous times when logging onto my profile and seeing all of the love and support through all of the votes. I don’t think I will ever know who all voted, how many times, and who did what..but at the end of the day, each and every one of you who voted for me, no matter how many times, has played such a gigantic role in this competition for me.

Although the prize is MASSIVE for the winner – a ‘sponsor’ by RipCurl and Reef Brazil, surf boards, surf attire, a contract with Boss Models, and a trip for two (ALL INCLUSIVE) holiday for two in Mauritius as well as shooting the Zigzag 2014 calender with the rest of the Top 6 which is just absolutely mind blowing.. this competition has meant so much more to me than just the overall prize. To me, I have already won. And, I do not mean that in the way you think I do.. Let me explain. Last year, I entered. I didn’t make top 10. This year I have already beaten myself. I have accomplished what I didn’t manage to accomplish last year. If I don’t make it to Top 6.. It isn’t the end of the World. Because I am already one step further than what I was. And being apart of Top 10 has already proved to me that I am capable of fulfilling my dreams, pushing myself, and really becoming a great ambassador to a brand that may need me someday.

Of course, tomorrow is the BIG DAY, where the Top 6 will be announced, and possibly even the WINNER of Miss Zag 2013. But, we are all winners so far. Each and every beautiful lady who entered put in so much effort, so much passion and really pushed themselves to their own limits. Lots of excitement is flying around South Africa right now. This year, what a lovely, beautiful group of contestants. Although, it is a contest, and we all kind of secluded ourselves from eachother, I am sure that once the Top 6 has been chosen, we or they will all finally get a chance to get to know eachother, have fun shooting the Zigzag calender- lots of giggles, laughs and memories of each individual journey these past few months.
Good luck to every one of the beautiful girls in the Top 10. We all deserve to win. Fingers Crossed.

Until tomorrow… x

PS A massive thank you to all of the photographers, stylists, designers, makeup artists and supporters ! Without you all, this would have been impossible.
