The search is on to find the next girl to win $5,000 and represent San Francisco’s FM radio station 107.7 The Bone at events for the next year as the Bone Rock Girl!

Brittany Cervantes, a 21-year-old Antioch native, is a finalist. The 2008 Antioch High graduate, and a receptionist at Antioch’s Wild Orchids – The Salon, submitted photos of herself plus a brief write-up of why she wanted be the Bone Rock Girl.

On April 4, the station narrowed it down to 32 contestants. Each girl had to promote herself and try and to encourage people to vote by going to the station’s website.

After one week, the “Sweet 16” were announced and Brittany had made the cut.

“We each got to have a special photo-shoot with professional photographer Pat Johnson of San Francisco,” Brittany stated. “He’s a photographer in the rock industry.”

Then after two more weeks of voting, the final four were announced and Brittany made the cut, again!

Each of the four ladies was a guest DJ on 107.7 with Steven Seaweed and played their own 1 hour playlist on “Hey Mom, I’m on the Bone!”. Brittany time on the radio station was last Thursday, April 28 from Noon to 1 p.m.

“It was nerve-wracking, but such an adrenaline rush,” Brittany said. “But he [Seaweed] comforted me by saying ‘don’t think of it as talking to thousands of people who are listening right now, just think of it as a one-on-one conversation with me.’”

Then the final four contestants were given another shoot with Pat Johnson.

Voting ends for the final decision, Bone Rock Girl on Wednesday, May 4^th at Midnight (that’s TONIGHT!) and the winner will be announced May 5th, tomorrow, at The Bone Rock Girl Coronation Party at Jillian’s In San Fransisco, starting at 7:30pm.
