First of all, we would like to thank Jessica, Michele and Emme for participating in this nail biting adventure. Additionally would like to thank all of their fans and voters. Your support for them was truly inspiring. Not only that it took us and our web host by surprise too. Due to your support, it crashed our server twice. So well done! That brings us to the contest itself. Hours before the contest was supposed to end on Friday night, our website went down for the first time. At which point, Emme was in the lead. Voters were still hitting the site to cast their votes and to track how close the race was. However, they were only met by a blank screen and could do neither. After some thought, we believed postponing the deadline one more day would give those voters who were met with a blank screen another chance to cast their vote. Enter deadline number two; Saturday night. Yet again, our servers are bombarded with traffic and go down in a blaze of glory. By now Jessica is in the lead by just a few votes. Still thinking that its fair to provide everyone the chance to vote, we postpone the deadline again. Through feedback from Jessica, Michele, Emme and you, the voter, we realize that postponing the deadline only created more problems than it solved. We agree.

So where does that leave us? Simple. After a very brief deliberation and a few emails with the finalists we are pleased to announce that Jessica, Emme, and Michele will ALL receive a free custom logo from Studio Rhoad! To us, it is the only way to show our appreciation to not only them but their fans as well. So over the next few weeks/months each of these ladies will help us develop a new mark for their brand and it is our pleasure to do so. Again, we can’t thank them and their fans enough for the support, feedback, cooperation, and of course, patience.

If you haven’t done so already, be sure to show the ladies some love on Facebook and Twitter:
