Today we saw our first winner of the new format Answer of the Day, out of ten competitors today’s winner was @nickunderscore after being nominated from @buddawiggi.

The answer was to a question from @duenhsiyen who asked “Would anyone care to critique my first attempt at fashion modeling at the 2009 Hawaii’s Most Beautiful Man contest?” What was most interesting about @duenhsiyen’s question was how he mentioned in the description that it was with the help from Mahalo answers that he was able to prepare for his modeling experience. 24 days ago he asked, “How do I choose clothes that fit me and how would I alter them to fit better?” and 22 days ago he asked “How do fashion models walk down a runway?” –

Interesting Mahalo Mini-sode – Here is the winning critique provided by @nickunderscore.

Two parts about this question fascinate me, firstly the way you prepared for the contest, by asking Mahalo questions and using Mahalo as a direct resource to help you succeed. Secondly the fact that even at your age you show no fear of competing with guys half your age as you mentioned. To me that shows that you are beaming with self-confidence and not ashamed of who you are. This does not mean you are dillusional about yourself image but you are not afraid of being in the body you are, I admire that.

For the competition results I have to be quite frank that judges will look for usual good bodies aside from personality and other skills, younger men will just have an advantage. However might I quickly add, I think you look great for your age, I hope I look half that good when I’m 60.

Your performance showed self confidence as I have mentioned and also some playfulness, it seemed as though you were comfortable and you looked like you were enjoying the event. Congratulations on your efforts and on succeeding to make a good figure in such a contest. I think using Mahalo to get tips for such a venue is a great idea, even though it cannot replace years of experience. I dont know much about cat walks and how models or most beautiful men should walk but I do know those people work very hard to get were they are, even if some say its an easy job.

I hope the fact that you didnt make the top 6 will not discourage you and that you will walk confidentaly on many more runways
