Scottsdale, Arizona - (Cheap Web Hosting Directory) - March 12, 2007 -
Domain registrar and web hosting firm, GoDaddy.com, recently appointed a new Executive Assistant, after holding auditions at Daytona’s Bike Week Celebration, for the new ''Go Daddy Girl.''
Bob Parsons, GoDaddy.com CEO and Founder, remarked about Lara Haworth, of Cleveland, Ohio, “She’s hot. She’s edgy. She’s a great fit for sure,” in terms of the definition of GoDaddy-esque, which has often been described as being edgy, racy and a touch inappropriate.
Mr. Parsons rode his Harley-Davidson 2,200 miles from Scottsdale to Daytona to conduct the auditions, explaining “We had the idea that Bike Week would be a great place to hold try-outs. The crowd here at Daytona’s legendary Broken Spoke Saloon was tremendous.”
The crowd favorite and Parsons’ winner is an executive assistant for Hawaiian Tropics. She beat out others who auditioned to become a new “Go Daddy Girl” during Parsons’ weekly satellite radio show, www.lifeonline.com, which he hosted live from Daytona, Florida last night. To compete, the women donned the infamous Go Daddy tank tops, posed for photos and answered questions about their own GoDaddy-esque experiences.
GoDaddy.com is known for domain name registrations and has gained notoriety for its risqué commercials. The first Go Daddy Girl, Candice Michelle, was selected by Parsons in a national talent search in 2004. He defied advisers who recommended a blonde for the job. The brunette, then a virtual unknown, received massive media attention after being featured in what has been called the most controversial and successful Super Bowl ad in television history. Ms. Michelle, also a WWE Raw Wrestling entertainer, has since acted in several productions, including a display on the cover of Playboy magazine.
As last night’s winner, Ms. Haworth won $1500 cash and the chance to officially join Candice, IndyCar driver, Danica Patrick and motorcycle drag-racing star Valerie Thompson, as a spokeswoman for the company. GoDaddy.com is planning to hold auditions during Bike Week celebrations later this month in Arizona and in Sturgis, South Dakota in August.
