Welcome to Get Fresh with
Mateo -

| He's a good guy, crazy about Elvis, loves horses, and enchiladas too. You may recognize his highly symmetrical features from his modeling turns on the Camp Cool catwalk, but you want to know more. He was born on June 26, 1978. When it rains, he organizes games of mud football. He grew up in southern california and went to college in oregon. He once tried to make refried beans from scratch. He's done the corporate thing but is now gainfully employed here at Vintage Vantage making sure you get your shirts on time and so much more. He went to New Zealand in February, and 14 other countries in the last 5 years. He's the nicest guy we know and he's the man of your dreams. |
It's simple - Winners from the first round move on to the second round. Second round winners go on to the third, and so forth. Contestants must submit material to contest@vintagevantage.com by the posted date. Winners will be notified by email, and winning entries will be posted here for all the world to see. When the field is narrowed down to two finalists, VVIP Lounge visitors will vote to decide who wins the expense-paid weekend trip (from anywhere Southwest Airlines flies) to San Diego! Now that's fun!

The Final Four is announced! Congratulations to Tawny, Bridget, Jen, and Lauren. This was an incredibly difficult decision for our jury - we were overwhelmed by all of the great entries. As consolation, all the ladies who made it this far will receive a free original t-shirt.
It's out of your hands now, ladies. The field of four will be trimmed to two finalists by THE CABINET. THE CABINET consists of three individuals - Matt's parents (Al and Joanne) and Holden. The two finalists will be announced on Monday, July 12. After that, our winner will be decided by popular vote - we'll poll the Camp Cool faithful and our victor will be crowned.
