Miss SL Universe 2008. The competition hots up

Looking good in Second Life is an art form and indeed an economy in itself with a multitude of stores and shops allowing avatars to customise their appearance.

Taking this theme to the extreme is the Miss SL Universe 2008 competition. An event organised by Frolic Mills, the CEO of the Best of SL Magazine and currently preparing for the grand final on January 19, 1pm SLT.

The final is going to be broadcasted live by the Second Life Cable Network (SLCN) showing the contestants strut their stuff and answer the obligatory questions.

Will there be prizes? Of course. There’s over L$250,000 in cash and prizes available and the winner gets to feature of the cover of the February issue of the Best in SL magazine. Who knows, they may even become a virtual celebrity.

Here’s the 12 finalists.

Miss Brazil – Willamina Fitzgerald

Miss Canada – Cherie Parker

Miss Costa Rica – Pup Witherspoon
