 One
year ago, the Dowbrigade
proposed a virtual Miss Universe contest. Well,
somebody was listening…
Kaya (below) is ravishing. She has full lips,
long lashes, and a slightly upturned
nose.
Her expression
radiates
confidence
and
power,
and her
smooth skin
is well scrubbed and dotted with freckles. But she doesn’t have much
of a body. At all. In fact, she exists only from the neck up. Kaya
is a CG model, a 48,200-polygon beauty created by an artist in S?o Paulo,
Brazil. And she’s sure to be a finalist in the Miss Digital World beauty
pageant.
Miss Digital World will be chosen in classic reality-TV
fashion – people can vote for their favorite contender until December
at missdigitalworld.com or
via SMS. The winning creator gets five grand and a deal with Cerami’s
agency to receive a cut of the proceeds from
placement or licensing of the model. Alas, no tiara. Lets take a closer
look at a couple of the prime candidates.

to change now.
