Women Using the Internet to Seek Fame

Women Using the Internet to Seek Fame

Christine Phillips, 23 year old Receptionist, Winner of GameToFame

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif., Dec. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Women value fame and popularity more than men. That's the conclusion being drawn after Christine Phillips, a 23 year old receptionist from Ontario, Canada emerged victorious as the 3rd winner of the GameToFame (www.gametofame.net). Phillips endured seven months of online competition against thousands of contestants, a noticeable majority (55 percent) of which were women, to become one of ten finalists. Of the ten, seven were women. "In this round, we found that the women contestants were much more aggressive than their male counterparts when the prize is for visibility, exposure and an opportunity to display their talents," says David Ho, President of Game to Fame, Inc.

Phillips had a dream of becoming a well known fashion model. Instead of packing her bags and moving to New York or Los Angeles, Phillips entered the GameToFame, a new kind of web site in which people compete to become famous. As a new application of social networking, GameToFame has found a formula to use the interconnectivity of personal relationships in a social network to propel someone from obscurity to near-stardom in front of an Internet audience of millions.

As winner, Phillips receives a Grand Prize package which includes an all-expense paid trip to Hollywood and a banquet meeting where talent agents, casting directors, photographers and current Reality TV stars will be in attendance; all of whom might be able to help Phillips further her dream to becoming a model. "I hope this will give my dream a push. I've been trying for years and waiting for my 'big break'. I am thrilled that now I will get that chance," says Phillips on winning.
