Wow, too bad i had to figure this out myself, Flying. Anyway, here are the answers to the questions you sent me via email earlier:
1. For the most part, voters and contestants seem satisfied with the new categories of Most Underrated and Best MILF; however, if you could select another category that you personally feel has been overlooked by FreeOnes, what would it be and why?
Nothing comes to my mind. There are already many categories which more or less cover all the industry general range of performers, without going too deep into niches. I think Petra nailed it when she resisted the temptation of adding niches cats to the contest, because when you start you never end: why best boobs and not best ass? If there is best boobs then people want best fake boobs and best real boobs; and then there is fetish; and bondage and best body and prettiest face of all and so on. I think she did great to add most underrated; so much that i’m pretty sure that we will see that cat added to other contests in the near future too. With most underrated, best adult model, best cam girl, best newcomer and the main Miss Freeones cat she got all the adult universe of females performing on camera covered; best OCSM is rightly there for the board people; then, she added best MILF as the most popular industry segment out there: yes, someone might still call this a niche, but i suspect that sponsors had a great part on that decision and if i’m right this tells you how far from a niche the MILF cat has become. So, no: i wouldn’t select another cat next year. This are not the industry awards and too much fragmentation wouldn’t do any good, in my opinion.
2. No Miss FreeOnes contest is ever the same as another: each has surprises and standout contestants. This year, what has surprised you or has there been another contestant whose posting or contest performance has impressed you?
I’m surprised about me being on top 10 on two cats without any promotion so far. I feel like i must jump in and give something back to people, in second round: it’s like having maxed a credit card out and now you feel like it’s time to start paying back. I’m really flattered and i really thank everybody for this credit they have given to me. Taking me out of the picture, instead, i’m once again impressed by Petra’s job this year; look at the top competitors in every category, so far, and you’ll see what i mean: Miss Hybrid as Miss Freeones, Julia Ann as Milf, Briana Lee as Cam Girl, Andi Land as Adult Model, Mandy Flores as OCSM; maybe with the exception of Julia Ann, which undeniably though is one of the top milfs out there since years (the best ever by a long distance, for me), all the girls leading the competition are both organic to Freeones and at the top of their jobs. This is not XBiz or AVN, this is Freeones and this year for the first time the contest is an original one which focus on electing the best girls according to the Freeones world and community and not the most sponsored industry girls. Petra has revived a contest which i suspect was on the verge of being canceled after last year edition. She has bet everything on the meaning of the word Freeones and i think so far she is winning. It’s not unnatural if some top industry highly sponsored girls are going to steal the victory at the end in some categories, but the girls i mentioned above are not going to make it easy to happen, this year. The voting system feels pretty solid, this year.
3. Due to FreeOnes' inclusion of all "active" entertainers, the question of why you decided to join this year's contest is moot. Do you feel that this inclusion makes the contest more open and drives participation or do you feel it unnecessarily floods the field with competition regardless of their level of interest?
Competition never floods the field, it helps to keep it fertile. Where the competition is reduced by burocracy or other weird things, i never see a positive outcome. This has happened with the underrated category for example, this year, where some girls have been left out at the last second because of a badly thought burocratic mechanism; i say never be afraid of giving everybody, who has a title to participate, to do so. Ultimately, you guys are those who vote for us and decide who stays in and who goes home and giving you the right to vote for your fav girl, no matter her level of interest in the contest, should be praised, not dispised.
4. Unlike the typical answers of "I like to travel, read, and listen to music," everyone has a secret interest or hidden talent- like German Expressionist film or playing the clarinet, etc. What are some of yours?
I knit a lot; and train dogs; and read a few books a week. It won’t be much of a trauma for me to be an old lady when the time will come, as you see Occhiolino
5. People grow and change. From the end of the 2013 contest to the beginning of this year's contest, can you name one thing that has happened in your life that has changed or improved your outlook on life?
I could tell you millions of things, because there is something happening every day. I’m not trying to be dismissive or cool here, but if i could name one thing in particular that would probably mean that i am as bored as hell. I think that for as long as my outlook on death does not change and improve at all, my outlook on life will unlikely decrease or deteriorate, no matter what happens in my life Occhiolino
6. Finally, though the Miss FreeOnes contest is open, there's definitely no requirement to join or participate on the boards here. What made you decide to initially join, and what keeps you coming back to deal with all of us?
Surely not Miss Freeones. I’m a member of this board since 2007 and i’m reasonably active for most part of the year, every year, whenever i have something to say and to share; and as a matter of fact, the average number of posts from me drops during MFO compared to other periods of the year. I love the contest, but showing off now and then and digressing and agreeing and fighting with the community, admiring some of the girls bodies, getting turned on by some of the girls sluttiness, seeing some good cocks and some funny ones, following Anders romance with Bieber and lots of other stuff is really what makes it feel worth staying. I have even made some real friends in the flesh over here, i have had the pleasure of tasting some members’ dick, to do business with others, to host at my place others and to be hosted at theirs by others. It’s a good place if you are open to give and get, because there are many people in here who are not afraid to get and give, either.
