Olivia and Jason are the ‘‘dudes’’

Olivia Spurling and Jason Camerino won the 2011 Victorian Cosmopolitan model search and DOB in a Dude model search at Harbour Town last month.

Jason said he was “very surprised” to be announced the winner of the search.

An electrician by trade, the 23-year-old competed against five others in the final to be named Victoria’s DOB in a Dude winner.

The DOB in a Dude model search was launched this year by Cosmopolitan.

This is not the first time Jason has been involved in modelling. He came second in the Blush Photography Hottest Hunk competition earlier this year and has modelled for Natural Bodz magazine and fitness clothing company Black and Blue.

“I’d like to continue modelling if the opportunity comes up,” Jason said.

16-year-old Olivia was also surprised when she was announced the female winner of the model search. “I was quite shocked but also happy,” she said.

The Presentation College student had never modelled before the competition and entered it in the hope of gaining some experience.

Olivia put her success over her five competitors in the final down to her performance experience as a dancer and her attitude on the day. “I was really happy and had a big smile on my face,” she said.

Around 100 spectators turned up to watch Olivia and Jason win the model search.

Both Olivia and Jason will compete at the national final of the Cosmopolitan model search in Melbourne this November.
