Sex Awareness 2

In a follow up piece, The Calgary Herald agreed not to reveal the real name of Honey Houston (see Sex Awareness), but published that she was the Reigning (2005) Queen of Miss Nude Canada (MNC). At the MNC site, we read:

Congratulations to DAMANDA MOORE for winning the title Miss Nude Canada 2004/05 at the National Finals held in CALGARY, ALBERTA November 29 to December 04 at THE SPEAKEASY.

The current Miss Nude Canada also has a Fan Club Page (registration required). Is Honey Damanda?

My guess is that IF Honey Houston is in fact this year's Miss Nude Canada Queen, she must be under contractual restrictions not to appear photographed (much less in the nude) in publications not sanctioned by the organization. This may in fact be the key to the threat of a lawsuit against the Gaunlet. It is interesting that some of the uproar in this controversy has been centered about the exploitation of the female body.

If there were such a contractual restriction, and this type of pageants normally do have them, Houston and the organizers will have lost the advantage of exclusivity for deals with publications such as Playboy. In short, both Houston and Miss Nude Canada possibly stand to lose revenue as a result of the Gaunlet's picture.

The Calgary Herald reported that Houston would have to finish her semester by correspondence due to the embarrassment the Gaunlet picture caused her:

"I don't do photos that I can't show my mom and dad. And I can't show my mom and dad this." The student will finish the semester by correspondence, with help from her professors and classmates.

If Honey Houston were Miss Nude Canada, she would have had trouble keeping her professional and her academic schedules at the same time. Damanda Moore's Fan Club page says she is booked solid for the remainder of the month of March (pdf file) and early April (pfd file) in a few strip Clubs in Quebec. The correspondence option seems practical for one who has business engagements at the other end of the country. The embarrassment and humiliation thing sounds like a convenient cover, and it will likely strike a cord in Quebec.

However, I am not convinced that Honey Houston is the alias for Damanda Moore (Demand More or it is Demand Amour? Does that sound like anyone's real name to you? It sounds as real as Honey Houston). If Honey Houston were the winner of Miss Nude Canada this year, as the Calgary Herald says, why would she have entered the contest as two different people, using her alias and her real name at once? That does not make sense. On the MNC contest page, Damanda Moore (pictured above) and Honey Houston appear as two separate contestants. One cannot be the alias for the other as The Calgary Herald's story and others suggest.
