Who Is Salt? The winners!

July 27, 2010 By: jessicazafra Category: Contest, Movies 2 Comments →

Here are the winners of our Who Is Salt? Channeling Angelina Jolie as Evelyn Salt contest. We rustled up two more caps so we picked five winners.


Monique


Sam


Abby


Resty S


And Rogue. All the cats have the Jolie/Salt look, but Rogue is the right color.

Congratulations! Please post your Philippine mailing address in Comments (The addresses will not be published) and we’ll send you your Salt cap pronto.

Salt, the movie, opens in Metro Manila theatres tomorrow. See you at the movies.

Who is Salt? The deadline-beaters

Rogue, submitted by human Deepa. “My cat has the slanty-eyed fuck-me stare, the sultry pout AND the lustrous black hair. Rogue is Salt!”

(Photo removed because we received an email from someone who says she’s the person in the photo and she did not send it in.)

Looks more pensive than vicious. Has to work on the motivation. Tip: Before snapping the photo, think: “Napapaligiran ako ng mga bobo.” There’s your motivation. Click!


Kristel. If that’s a ruthless assassin I’m assigning a bunny rabbit to black-ops.

The winners will be announced tonight.

Who is Salt? The clock is ticking.

Do Not Disturb Sam, aged 5, submitted by her mom brother. “Sorry the pic is a little blurry but you’d be trembling too if a five-year-old who reads Jessica Zafra pointed a gun at you.”

Aha, flattery! A time-tested tactic.

Nubbin, submitted by his human Dave. “The look says, I will kill to clear my name but I need to groom myself first. I’ll get back to you later.”


Take two from Monique: “I showed my mom my Salt photo in your website, then she and I ended up having too much fun doing it again.”


Here’s another shot of Monique, whose mom gets a special citation for coolness.


Quiapo fish vendor, submitted by Banahawtext. Now that’s Method.


Psylocke (from X-Men/Marvel Legends) channelling Angelina Jolie/Salt, submitted by John David.


NOT A Contestant unless you need someone to play the Navigator in Dune. Just showing off glasses that look like the comic book graphic representation of Psylocke’s power. (The camera on the Samsung Galaxy S phone has a self-shot feature but still requires some contortion.)

You have until 11.59pm to email your photos to urban.matthias@gmail.com. Hurry!

Who is Salt? Now we’re kicking.

Once again I spoke too soon. Here are the latest entries to our Who Is Salt? Channeling Angelina Jolie/Salt contest.

We’re going to need more caps.


iamstoned. Expression courtesy of Germany’s defeat to Spain in the World Cup.


Irvin’s sister Abby. That pout! With my worst allergic reaction to lipstick the lippiest I can hope for is Manilyn Reynes.


Janus does not need the wig to kick your ass.


Lulu does not appreciate having her photo snapped while she’s internalizing the character.


Monique as Salt: Zuma-Zhang Ziyi!


Rina: “Put those hors d’oeuvres down. I won’t say it again.”

Brava! Keep sending your photos to urban.matthias@gmail.com. We’re accepting submissions until Monday.

Who is Salt? You’re not even trying.

It’s been six days since we launched our Who Is Salt? contest and I’m beginning to despair of finding the right Saltines.


Sylvester has potential, but he’s not even trying. Where’s the wig, the pout?


At least Melody scares us, but she’s in the wrong movie. I’m thinking The Grudge.


Even out of focus Dinky has the fierce look, probably to compensate for being called Dinky, but once again we see no effort.


Resty S made a fab effort—the wrong kind. You’re a wanted fugitive, your whole life has fallen apart, you’re being shot at, your own colleagues are calling you a traitor to your country—and you’re smiling! The look should say, “I will kill to clear my name,” not “I have boobies.”

Thanks to Melody and Resty S for being great sports. You’re in the lead and we’re waiting for your challengers.

Email your Salt-ish photos to urban.matthias@gmail.com. We’re accepting entries until Monday the 26th. Remember to look like this:

Salt opens in movie theatres on Wednesday, July 28.

Who is Salt? You are!

You are a sleeper agent, in such a deep sleep you didn’t even know it.

Now a Russian defector has blown your cover (if it is your cover), you’re on the run and your own colleagues are after you. You’ve changed your look, you’ve dyed your hair, you’re living by your wits…and we want a picture!

Send us a photograph of yourself dressed up as Angelina Jolie as Salt—long black hair, cheekbones, those lips, and the fierce expression. In other words, the way you look when you go to the supermarket. Email the photo/s to my cat, urban.matthias@gmail.com. We will post all your entries. The three Salt-iest entries will receive the official Salt movie trucker cap.

Yes, you only get a trucker cap for all your trouble, but you’re not in this for the prize. You’re in this because you want to unleash your inner Angelina Jolie/Salt right here. Get your wardrobe together, find that wig, pucker up and Paaak!

This contest is open to all our readers—female, male, homosexual, heterosexual, bisexual, pansexual, transsexual, asexual, as well as their cats, dogs, ferrets, octopi and other animal companions.


Saffy demonstrates the fierce. Put on the long black wig and she’s ready. My cats are not eligible to join this contest, but yours are.

Entries will be accepted until 26 July. The winners will be announced on 27 July. Salt opens in theatres on 28 July.

Most of the entries we’ve received are photos of cats, and they’re adorable but not in costume. You have to have the straight black hair and bangs. It doesn’t have to be a wig, could be paper or a garbage bag. . .
