UMD student in Playboy contest!

I received an unexpected (to say the least) e-mail from Playboy today:

LOCAL DULUTH BEAUTY WANTS YOUR TEXT:

TOP-10 FINALIST SELECTED TO COMPETE

FOR “MISS PLAYBOY MOBILE 2008” CROWN

-- Miss Playboy Mobile Winner to Receive Crown, Sexy Photo-shoot

at World-famous Playboy Mansion, $5,000 Cash-prize --

Last month, Playboy launched a nationwide search for Miss Playboy Mobile 2008, and now Alexandra Fowler wants your text. America’s sexiest beauties had the opportunity to submit their prettiest non-nude pin-ups via MSPBM.com. After the first round of voting, 19 year-old Duluth stunner Alexandra Fowler received an overwhelming amount of texted votes, ultimately naming the petite 5’ bombshell as 1 of 10 finalists from almost 1,000 submissions nationwide. Now, Alexandra -- along with 9 other finalists -- will compete in a second round of text-based voting from March 16 through March 31; the winner will be crowned Miss Playboy Mobile 2008 during an exclusive VIP event at the Hugh Hefner Sky Villa at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas on April 2, 2008. The prize will include the inaugural Miss Playboy Mobile crown, a professional photo-shoot at the world-renowned Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles, and $5,000 cash-prize. To vote for Alexandra Fowler, text "PBF182" to 67000. There is no fee for voting, but normal text-messaging rates may apply. For official rules, please visit www.mspbm.com.
