This has been a really hard month for me. First I get crazy in the middle of the night in a hotel in Austin. I haven’t slept in days, I’m alone, it’s 30 degrees out, I’m starving and I’m out of change for the vending machines. I started to think about how I haven’t been traveling at all over the past year. I’ve noted that falling in love has this affect on me. I stop being the person that’s only home one weekend out of the month because I’m at conventions, BBQ’s, suspension events, learning/teaching conferences and I focus on being home so that I can be a supportive, attentive and caring partner at home.
I was suddenly back on the road and realizing how much I miss it and how BME suffers when I can’t be out on the road. I decided though after a lot of thought that my passport is full because I’ve traveled around the globe but that for one reason or another all of my travels were alone. The last time I went on any kind of extended trip was in 2008 when I went to the Oslo Suscon, then to BMXnet and finally to a tattoo convention in England (which I ended bailing out on!). That was 3 weeks in Europe SOLO. I submitted around 1000 photos from that trip alone and had a great time meeting people in person.
Now I’m doing it a little differently and I’m extending the amount of time that I’ll be on the road and bringing 4 people with me. I’m sure that you want to know who they are but you HAVE to understand how difficult the selection process was. First it started out with watching hundreds of videos, browsing portolios, reading blogs and writing samples and with Jen‘s help, I narrowed it down to 17 finalists. Everyone has so much to offer and all of the finalists are multi-talented. While some people shine at one particular talent more than others, they are still fully capable of doing everything else that will be required on the road.
The hardest part about choosing the 4 winners is that there are some people who aren’t getting chosen that have been helping out a ton behind the scenes. When they volunteered to help out, I told them it wouldn’t be scoring them any extra points and I had to go with my gut. The other thing that was really hard is that one of my closest friends applied for the video. Thad is an awesome photographer and a great friend but ultimately I feel like I would lean on him too much during this tour. Plus he’d let me get away with being like “I’m too tired to cope today” and I can’t have that.
Click through to find out who won!
In no particular order, the four interns that will be accompanying me on this tour are Chez, Richard, Darah and Megan.
This was a very hard decision and I have my reasons as well as where I just needed to “go with my gut”. If you are a contestant and you want more feedback on why I didn’t pick you, feel free to contact me. I wish I could have brought everyone or I could split it up into two teams so that I could bring more people but I simply can’t due to the costs involved.
Thank you go everyone who applied and for all of the hard work that everyone put in. It means a lot to me and I appreciate your support as always.

MissMess – Rachel stated from the get-go that the results of the votes did NOT mean the person was going to be picked so if people ignored her and decided it meant they’d get to go anyway, well… While I totally get the disappointment, I think every single one was well aware that Rachel was not going to choose based on the poll results. I won’t presume to know what people are thinking but it looks like some people just convinced themselves that if they got the most votes they were in, even though Rachel had clearly told them that wasn’t going to be the case.
Ultimately she’s the one stuck with these people for 3 months. She needs to pick people she thinks will both do the job well and be a cohesive group. I’m also pretty sure she’s joking around about the mini-girl crush but no one seems to have a sense of humour these days. :/ Heaven forbid we try to lighten the mood somewhat.
I’m not sure how you can still say this is a popularity contest when the source of everyone’s anger is that Rachel chose to go with the people she felt were best for the job rather than those who got the most votes.

@Joshua – I don’t know what Rachel meant by that but my guess would be that she meant she was going to take people who weren’t necessarily known on BME already. Of the people she chose to go with her, the only one I actually know is Chez and even then Chez isn’t someone who people are looking at and saying “Oh I know you from BME”. They aren’t faces you see over and over and I actually think that’s a really good thing because in the past, people have complained that things were “cliquish” or that you had to be heavily modded to be a part of anything and while that isn’t true, it definitely ended up being the perception some people had. So in this case, we have folks who are modified but not necessarily know (I hate this word with a passion) “in the scene”. I think it really helps to bring in those folks who aren’t as heavily modified and maybe intimidated by that and feel they don’t belong here.
That’s just my take on the comment because, like I said, I don’t know what she actually meant.

Honestly, nae came off as a know it all, and i had to make myself sit there to get through half of her video. also, she’s not as fun to look at as darah or megan.
Darah had the most personality and her video was intriguing to watch, i actually wished it was longer!

it sounds, from the explination (41) that there was some decision bias based on people being openly and visibly modified. Almost as if a commuinty based on Modification used contestant’s modifications as a negative factor in the selection process.
” If I wanted to keep doing exactly what BME does, then I would have picked the people that are 100% of what BME currently is. ”
What, visibly modified? Outstanding members of the BodMod community?
I have no objections to the outcome of the contest, but the explination of the selection process smells an awful lot like the same bias modified folks face everyday when buying coffee , interviewing for a job or simply trying to catch a taxi cab.
Say it ain’t so…

What a joke. I didn’t select contestants because they’re “too visibly modified”? That’s hilarious. I am heavily modified and I have giant tattoos on my neck and have my hands tattooed.
Miss Mess: Do you not get it at all? If I’m someone who spends my entire life online and there is something so attractive about someone, not just their looks but their personality, that draws me to them, that would mean that other people who are no where near as jaded as I am, may pick up on their almost magically appealing qualities.
God forbid I say someone is attractive and that over the course I developed a non-sexual crush on them. I hope that as they’re going to be a face of BME for a period of BME that the majority of people feel the same way.
As far as the votes, the people who got the most votes are people who were able to get people to vote for them because they are popular online or they have a lot of frriends who are wiling to vote for them. How does that do BME any good to go strictly by votes? Since people don’t realize it, I know where their votes are coming from and I can tell who gamed the system and basically fraudulently upped their own vote counts. Should people be rewarded for being tech savvy or having friends are that basically helped them to cheat?
It’s a damn shame because I have a sponsorship meeting this week that could end up with me being able to take two teams out on the road but now I know that I can’t take the second team out because of the way they’re reacting to not being selected as team #1.
As far as being “stereotypically BME” I mean exactly what I said. They’re popular members of the BME community or another online community. The tour is a new concept and it’s meant to basically go out and create content as well as broaden BME’s horizons in the world at large. If people don’t want BME to last for the next 10 years or far past our own lifetimes then I can just keep going with the status quo and only serve the most devote of body modification community and watch BME suffer and die. That’s not what I want and I would hope it isn’t what you want either. As one Body Modification community after the next pops up, this is no longer a niche community and BME has to continue to evolve with it or it will not survive.
Maybe BME should just go back to being a news group email list and get back to it’s roots. Does that make sense? No, it doesn’t.
So much for a possible team #2. It just means now that team #1 will have more resources and we’ll be able to do more on the road. I doubt anybody has any clue as to the costs of doing something like this and the resources that are being devoted to it.

I’m looking forward to seeing something new on BME and possibly having the team swing by my hometown. I think this is a good change for BME that has been necessary after the decline in interest over the years. However, from my objective point of view (I know absolutely none of the candidates, did not apply and didn’t pick/vote for any favourites), I can see where some of this controversy is being generated from.
1. IAM/BME does have a clique-ish community, thus voting may have been skewed towards those who were more connected within BME. And those rejected candidates who used that to their advantage, and then complained afterwards, are going to have an interesting time later when employers have no interest in your popularity.
2. That being said, I think Rachel could have foreseen something like this and not promoted voting (especially when she had no intention on counting the votes towards the judging process). That was a set-up for controversy.
3. The comment about Darah’s attractiveness was obviously said as a joke but, in light of the current tension, it was in poor taste.
I do appreciate the work Rachel puts into this site and I think this tour will be excellent at breathing some new life into BME. But let this be a lesson to everyone involved….

The contest winners all look solid. I expect that the tour and reports/photos/interviews/blogs that follow will be superb and will continue to fill the pages of BME with content worth reading. I eagerly look forward to the “go get em” approach to modblogging!
“What a joke”- Hence the concern… However, I like the choices o-so-much!. The winners are solid and will be fun to tour with, im sure. I can’t wait to read about the adventures…

I’m wondering if the people who are saying Rachel picked non-visibly modified peole actually looked at any of the internship winners’ iam pages. I am visibly modified and while I don’t have implants or scarifications, I do have many very visible modifications including larger guage facial piercings, hand and head tattoos. to say that Rachel was discriminating against more modified intern applicants is just laughable and completely contray to what bme supports!
