Last week, we asked our readers to blingee the crap out of a picture that surfaced on the Internet of teen idol Justin Bieber walking with his main squeeze Selena Gomez and wearing a Hoyas hat. First off, big thanks to everybody who submitted their artwork, and for those of you who didn’t, we assume it’s because you were too intimidated by the other blingee masterpieces that we’ve posted on Vox in the past.

Anyway, without further ado, here are the winners! That’s right, winners, because we received two that were just so blingee-tastic and Bieber-sational that we couldn’t pick just one. The first comes from reader Sara Eshleman (COL ’13), who apparently wanted our team’s name to be in the forefront of her artwork:

We think Snoop Dogg is a particularly nice touch.

Earlier today, the Internet gave a gift to the Georgetown community. Teenage sensation Justin Bieber was photographer trouncing around Brazil with girlfriend Selena Gomez, and guess what team’s hat he used to cover his famed blonde locks? Can it be that the Hoyas have received the endorsement of The Biebs?

And just like that, Georgetown’s application rate for girls ages 10-15 skyrocketed.

Of course, the first thing we thought when we saw this picture (big thanks to Georgetown Athletics, by the way), was to open it up to the public for a Photoshop and/or Blingee contest. By no means are you confined to this particular picture, as there are plenty of others to choose from of Bieber showing his Hoya love. Be as creative, ridiculous, and Blingee’d out as you see fit—and if you can make one that somehow doubles for an advertisement/banner for something Georgetown related, all the better. Link your pictures in the comments, or email them to blog@georgetownvoice.com, and we’ll pick our favorites and post them.

Happy Blingeeing!

Vox knows that it missed wishing you a Happy Hanukkah and all of the other holidays that have happened over the past few weeks (except for Festivus), but we actually remembered that it’s Christmas Eve, so a Merry Christmas to all of our readers who celebrate Christmas.

Season’s Greetings from your friends at Vox (but not Happy Holidays).

GUSA election results are in, people. Time to get excited!

After a long week of election previews—and thankfully, plenty of excuses to bring out our favorite blingee—the GUSA Election Commission announced the winners of the elections.

Vox congratulates all of the winners. (And for those of you who ran failed write-in campaigns, take solace in the fact that your comments entertained us.)

To help foster a (hopefully) more informed student body for this year’s Georgetown University Student Association Senate Elections, Vox invited all candidates to complete a short questionnaire regarding their candidacies. And, to our surprise, some of them even responded!

Voting began last night and will close shortly after midnight. Students are allowed to vote in their respective districts and for the at-large positions. If your district is sans a candidate, or you don’t want to vote for those listed, write-ins are allowed. (And write-in campaigns do exist.)

Earlier this week, we covered the freshmen candidates and the candidates in the other dorms, and now we’ve got the rest.

[Editor’s note: The questions for transfers differ slightly from the questions for students who were at Georgetown students.]

Vox has chosen Sam Ungar’s creation as the winner of our “Blingee a Georgetown personality” reader contest. Using a photo of the statue of Jan Karski, Ungar produced a true work of art:

Ungar has won two tickets to the E Street Theater in downtown D.C. Check out the runners-up after the jump!

A while back, a friend of the Voice shared with us this work of art:

Provost Jim O’Donnell

Stunned by the creator’s breathtaking use of hotpants, we’re dying to see more. So from now until Wednesday at midnight, Vox is calling all artists to Blingee a Georgetown personality for a chance to win two tickets to the E Street Cinema, a great theater that screens limited-release films, documentaries, and cult classics (read: indie stuff).

Any well-known Hoya is fair game. Will Jack the Bulldog speak to you? Vice President for Student Affairs Todd Olson? Jennifer Altemus?

E-mail the link whatever masterful creation you come up with on Blingee to blog@georgetownvoice.com. Include your name, e-mail (not for publication), school, and year, and if you want, a blurb about what inspired you. You must be a current Georgetown student to enter. We’ll announce the winner and show off the submissions later in the week.

If you need another muse, Jack Stuef (COL ’10), the most influential Blingee artist ever to have graduated from Georgetown, created a wonderful collection of Blingee art to accompany his screed about the Voice profile of President John DeGioia in October. The exhibit is still on display at the Georgetown Heckler blog.

Don’t forget, the Georgetown Voice is celebrating photography, a lesser art form, in the week’s feature. Enter our 2010 Photo Contest by midnight tonight!
