Sega picks America's next top Bayonetta model in Maxim competition

by Justin McElroy on Nov 23rd 2009 1:30PM

Sega and Maxim.com have selected a winner in their search for a model that best captures the lead character from forthcoming action title Bayonetta. The young lady, Andrea Bonaccorso, walks away (slowly, considering she has guns for shoes) with an Xbox 360, a copy of the game and a 50-inch Panasonic TC-P50X1 HDTV Plasma TV. She'll also appear on Maxim.com, in a sensible, dignified outfit, we're sure.

So how did she qualify for such an honor? This is really what it says in the press release: "While some entrants perfectly mirrored the outfit of the character and others simply donned librarian glasses, Andrea married both elements to come out on top."

So, there you have it. We're rewarding this girl for wearing both clothes and glasses.

Meanwhile, Joystiq and Joystiq.com selected a loser in Sega and Maxim.com's Bayonetta Model Search and it's all of us.

"Hey my boobs are down here" is actually the new "Hey my eyes are up here".

As long as my girlfriend never "takes off her boobs" when we're being intimate.... then I'm fine with that.

You need a cap in yo ass, "dawg".

I married a real-life Bayonetta... too bad I had no idea about this contest.

So now you have to find a place to store all of her shoes, her guns *and* her shoe-guns?

I feel for you, man, I do.

...and don't forget her suit of hair. That thing drives me crazy... hairballs everywhere!

Not to encourage a stereotype, but I'm guessing that she's not going to ever play Bayonetta (unless Sega makes her). Or any game besides some casual Wii title at a friend's house, for that matter.

any girl would look hot next to the shrunken head girl in the game. i can't get past the size of the head.

Why didn't they just use the model in the Japanese ad? That brunette was hot.

Must have been a handful of entries if she got chosen. She's good-looking but falls far from the Bayonetta tree.

lame

I get the feeling this is a different user who just got bored, and thats that.

She isn't bad looking, but then again you guys have to keep in mind that not every female gamer is attractive... congrats to her and hopefully she is a real gamer and didn't do it for her boyfriend.

Hawt!

Would do.

Ehhh...

tmac, before you ask let me clarify.

That picure at the front of this article is that of a "woman". We men enteract with them socially and professionally from time to time. Some of us even court these women for more than friendship. Experience it.
