BioGamer Girl Invades ConNooga 2012

Con Nooga is a multi-fandom convention featuring many famous guests from various forms of entertainment fields— including actors, artists, authors, musicians and paranormal investigators—that took place at the legendary Chattanooga Choo Choo over the weekend of February 17-19, 2012. Of course, the convention also hosted numerous special events including fashion shows, a parade, Q&A panels and, Ms. BioGamer Girl.

Ms. BioGamer Girl replaced the former Ms. Con Nooga beauty pageant, and the new event was sponsored and hosted by BioGamer Girl Magazine. Ms. BioGamer Girl not only judged its participants based on beauty, but the girls also needed to possess unique skills, addictive personalities and be knowledgeable about horror and gaming—the two genres that define what BioGamer Girl is all about.

Contestants were tasked with completing speed and interview rounds that asked various questions ("What horror movie villain are you most like when you're angry and why?", "What do you feel is the biggest challenge that horror movie victims must overcome if they want to continue living in their movies today?", "Have you ever teabagged another player?”) that allowed the girls to showcase their knowledge of all things terror and gaming related. There was also a talent competition where the girls showcased some of their special skills to win over the audience and judges. The last and most unique portion of the pageant asked the girls to act out different skits as classic video game characters in strange scenarios.

Over a dozen lovely women entered the Ms. BioGamer Girl beauty pageant, but only one could walk away with the grand prize that included a spread in the March 2012 issue of the magazine. Unfortunately for Amber Teachey, she didn't win Ms. BioGamer Girl, but she impressed the judges and earned the title of runner-up. She skillfully played Jill Valentine of RESIDENT EVIL in recovering a lost cat during the zombie apocalypse as her skit during the event. Amber is obviously a talented actress, and her acting abilities can be also be seen in many films, such as A FISTFUL OF BRAINS and A FEW BRAINS MORE: SUMMER OF BLOOD.

Ms. BioGamer Girl 2012 officially went to Emlee Vassilos. Emlee enticed the judges with both her beautiful rendition of the song “Woman” and with her enchanting acting skills she displayed in her skit—the death of Princess Zelda of THE LEGEND OF ZELDA game franchise. In addition to an amazing singing voice, Emlee also possesses amazing acting skills that can be seen in her starring role in the film A FEW BRAINS MORE: SUMMER OF BLOOD among numerous other films and television shows she has starred in over the years. She will also be attending Con Nooga in 2013 as a special co-host and judge for the next Ms. BioGamer Girl pageant. The event is sure to be bigger and better next year, so make sure you make plans to attend the weekend of March 1-3, 2013!
