WantedList.com and VCA Pictures have announced that Maria E. Menendez is the winner of their Misty Beethoven: The Musical Contest.
On Sept. 2, Menendez will be flown from Los Angeles to Reno, Nev., where Sunset Thomas will pick up her up in a limo and take her on a fantasy night at the famous Kit Kat Ranch in Carson City. Thomas will give Menendez a private tour of the Kit Kat before she will have her own hot tub party with Thomas and fellow adult star Rebecca Love.
Menendez will also receive a copy of the Special Edition three-disc set of Misty Beethoven: The Musical and a three-month membership to WantedList.com.
Twenty-five runners-up will receive a copy of the movie as well as a free, one-month membership to WantedList.com.
Menendez, coincidentally, works in the adult industry as a talent agent for Monarch Models. She saw the original contest announcement on AVN.com and decided to enter with no expectations of actually winning.
The contest was a big hit with customers who visited WantedList.com.
“The Misty Beethoven: The Musical contest was a huge success for all of us, Ahn Tran, founder of WantedList.com, said. "We got tons of entries and praise from our customers, but best of all we were able to shed some light on a really pioneering movie. It’s fun and innovative projects like these that make porn what it is today."
Tran will be celebrating his birthday on Saturday night with a party at the Hollywood Canteen.
There were over 3,000 entries for the contest.
“We had originally picked another winner and were set to send this person out to Carson City, but due to social circumstance around this person’s life, they had to bow out. Upon doing another drawing, we were able to choose another winner," Tran said.
Peter Reynolds, vice president of sales and marketing for VCA, said; “This cross promotion between VCA and WantedList.com is ideal because it helps brand the VCA name and it reaches the ideal consumer that we are trying to hit with the Misty DVD and soundtrack. Plus, the buzz factor that this contest generated is priceless!”
Veronica Hart directed Misty Beethoven: The Musical based on the characters created by Henry Paris in the 70s classic The Opening of Misty Beethoven.
The new musical re-telling stars Sunset Thomas, Randy Spears, Chloe, Julie Meadows and Evan Stone, among others. The CD Soundtrack is also available and has enjoyed a wide-market release by Reality Entertainment and Caroline Distribution.
