Title: [POLL] Choose the Bit-Pay spokesmodel for Los Angeles
Post by: BitPay Business Solutions on January 27, 2012, 12:35:58 AM
Ok guys we can use your help!

We recently held auditions for more Bit-Pay spokesmodels.  We want to do more local events in cities across America.  We would also like to produce a series of short videos for each city showcasing the bitcoin-accepting businesses in that area.

For example, Los Angeles is a city we will target first.  Once we get a good group of retail businesses using Bit-Pay in L.A., we will invest in producing the video.

We have narrowed down the L.A. candidates to two finalists, and now we need your votes to determine the winner.  

Watch the video auditions here:  http://youtu.be/PoZmhAf0GKA (http://youtu.be/PoZmhAf0GKA)

Stephanie has an accounting background and she is a licensed attorney in California.  

Magda is from Colombia and she currently works for a major Spanish television network in the US.

We can't decide!  Help!

Look for more polls and videos in the near future, with candidates from Chicago, New York, Texas, and more.  We interviewed 80 models!

NEW:  Here's a quick peek at "Bitcoin Idol" with all 80 contestants  http://youtu.be/eaJwiXN-8cI (http://youtu.be/eaJwiXN-8cI)

Both gorgeous women, although I dislike fake breasts.

Before I vote I would like to know why Magda is speaking Spanish?

Spanish is her native language (Colombia) and she auditioned in English also, but her English was not as good.

I can just imagine that sexy accent :P

However, I have an even better idea! Use both xD

edit:
So yea... I just saw the video and she doesn't speak English, but if she's capable of doing so and can speak Spanish as well? That's ++ :D

Sex sells! That said, I would have voted for a housewife/mom type. Your average soccer mom promoting Bitcoin oppose to some model. A woman that other women can relate to, not one that only some inspire to look like. But I do like the pepper-belly with the small...

Whichever one of understands the ins and outs of your company and can most clearly communicate the advantages of BitPay & Bitcoin.

Agreed with the above 2 posters. Id rather have someone who looks like a real person and is convincing and authentic rather than  someone who looks (and acts) like a hired swimsuit model.  In that sense I found Magda far more convincing in the video.

You have video of 80 sexy girls saying "bitcoin"? I don't think you need to hire any of them, whenever you need more girl-factor just pick a random clip of girl saying "bitcoin" and splice it in.

Agreed!

If I had to pick just one though, I'd say Magda. I just wish her English was a little stronger.

Let each model ask for their opinion on BIP16/BIP17, so we can make erudite decision.

You should hear her talk in Estonian.  It will melt your heart.  Now if we can get a handful of Bit-Pay merchants in Estonia I will hire her to give us a little tour of these businesses!

if anyone has some video editing skills, and time, and would be interested in playing around and making a little "Bitcoin Idol" youtube competition out of these videos, let me know.  

I can narrow the girls down to 4 categories:

Europe
USA
Asia
Latin America

but I would like some help to make the graphics and the polling to actually make this something entertaining that people will watch and follow, like a miniseries.  If you are interested, let me know.  We don't have any money for this, but if you wanted to edit footage of hot girls saying "bitcoin" well then this is the job for you.  And I would let you keep all of the YouTube ad revenues, if they amount to anything.

I suggest bitcoin-idol combined with march madness. Top 64 in a bracket system, and we vote with bitcoin. Have voting proceeds either go to bit-pay, the girls, charity, or into a black hole.
