'Small-town girl' dreams big

A Kelowna woman is vying for the opportunity to become Maxim Magazine's next cover girl.

Chloe Smeltzer describes herself as, "just a small-town Canadian girl, chasing big city dreams, one photo shoot at a time."

Chloe's grandmother, Evelyn Dillabough, is looking to help her granddaughter reach her goal.

"Can you give her a hand? She needs exposure and votes. This girl could win it all!" Dillabough said, signing, "A proud gramma ."

On Maxim's website Chloe describes herself as empathetic. 

"I put myself in people's shoes, and relate with them on a personal level, making it easier to help them. I’d say I’m not just empathetic with only people, but animals as well. There’s nothing better than being able to deeply feel, understand, and love to help make this world a better place."

If Chloe wins the cover girl contest she'll grab a cool $25,000 plus a lavish photo shoot with legendary photographer Gilles Bensimon which will go along with worldwide recognition as a Maxim Cover Girl.

Another Kelowna woman, Krista Kemp, was also in the running for one of Maxim's cover girl contests earlier this summer.
