The Yoga Journal talent search for the yogi-cover-model of their September issue is on. People can now vote.
I am surprised already right at the home page of it because I can only see 8 participants out of... 2532!
The Twitter conversation is happening and people are trying to help their friends, which is a great idea because the first 8 are definitely getting a lot more exposure than, say, the 100th 8.
Also, there is no filter capability. It would have been nice perhaps to narrow participants by style, get your hatha people, your Vinyasa flow, Bikram, Power, Hot, Ashtanga. OK, OK, I get it, maybe there are just as many styles as participants!
From the conversation on twitter (you can search by #yoga #contest) I found out these bits of trivia:
One participant went "negative" as in photography negative
One went sideways and makes me tilt my head
One participant forgot to put clothes on. He is naked. Oops!
There are some beautiful pictures in the contest and I wish every one that wants to win good luck!
Cannot wait for the September issue!

That is a lot of browsing! which if my math serves me right, comes to 312.5 pages.

Interesting, Claudia. You said, "I wish every one that wants to win good luck!"
ReplyDeleteAre there people in the contest who actually don't want to win? Just wondering...
I just think some may want it more than others...
ReplyDeleteAh...
ReplyDelete:-)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy Kino by the way!
ReplyDeleteI definitely will. And I will try not to get overwhelmed by her siddhis (she might have some new ones)...
ReplyDeleteI found it funny browsing through a few that a couple of people seemed to have interpreted the "style" question differently. Instead of mentioning their chosen school of yoga, one had written "flowing white yoga clothes" and another wrote "focusing on people".Funny!
ReplyDeleteDaydreamingmel, yes, you are quite right, that was funny, they went totally free-style! hee hee, that is when I realized that they probably had a hard time trying to put a filter... oh well, something to know for next time they run the talent search... Good to hear from you! :-)
ReplyDelete@Nobel, she might indeed....
