I had hoped to make very-few-further posts, but this thread/post left me quite dismayed! I am not sure how these `awards' are determined. Perhaps this has been explained elsewhere, in which case I sincerely apologise. I guess I have been much more opinion-aligned to the previous choices - so remained `silent' on the subject.
It is the disparity of my views this time that makes me question how these decisions are reached. Being a devout iStripper fan I seek to learn more of its mechanisms and its decision-making processes. This enables me to prepare for its future course (as it appears to me) as suggested by those processes.
I am extremely happy to number all of Zoe's very few shows amongst my collection. I thoroughly enjoy these shows and outlaid the credits immediately on release of these cards! So in no way do I seek to detract from the lovely Zoe. I would not surrender up those shows. But I used to analyse all sorts of stuff before retirement - performance measures, sales figures, feedback tracking, etc. So it is second nature for me to question - based upon those alternatives listed below.
I decry - as have others - the passing over of Kristina. Commercially, it must be conceded that she has been scheduled for a second tint at iStripper - as well as having already co-revitalised the Duo card (with the sensational contribution of Dianna)! Zoe can only have an extraordinary `sales' tally, with her too-few-to-date cards, to overcome Kristina's recognised continued appeal and compliment-laden fan-base.
A few candidates, for whom I cannot `understand' their not receiving more favourable consideration for the month's award - and this seemed buoyed by comments about the shows and strewn through Forum remarks - are:
Luna Corazon, who despite (the first time as far as I could find) not having the usual promo-push of a `Backstage' and/or `Fansign'). Again I refer to the first two cards. Forum threads have been lavish in praise and clamouring for her very rapid return (thank you for that, Totem). She, also, had been restricted to XXX cards the first time, which by no means appear to have wide appeal!
Hilary C - whose praise in the comments have almost been universally raptuous. Granted her smile over her last two cards seem less evident - but her performanced has never waned! Her beauty knows no peer!
My absolute personal favourite - Marilyn! Her sultry smile and seductive eye contact is unlike anyone whom I have ever seen - not just on iStripper. Her athletic and fluid moves are right up there with Kristina and Dianne - the new `guard' of iStripper models. And long may they reign!
Carolina Abril - who, of course, has already been acknowledged by this award - but has there - as far as comments are concerned - anyone received, on a return visit, more raucous approbation and adoration?
So based on my doubts - and those expressed by others - may I, please, ask for advice as to how the selection is made? We all have some `investment' in our support of the models we follow!
Is it a vote of all or some team members - or an individual's decision? Is it simply show up-take tally (`sales' totals)? Is a reflection of the new member card `purchases - they paying both the full-price and having the widest selection/choice base (with very few purchases under their belts)? If I was cynical - and just for transparency purposes simply raise it here - is it possibly a commercial/promotional choice?
I do not know about others - although I suspect others will really want to know - but if this is considered a `news' item, it would seem important to explain as to how it is determined.
In anticipation of any procedure that can be clarified - thank you.
