Lake Charles, LA (1888PressRelease) June 03, 2013 - Long Beach resident and business owner Wendy Manasse, 53, was selected the Readers' Choice in the MORE Magazine Beauty Search Contest. With 1,137 votes received on the Internet, Manasse got the official news by phone on May 29th. As the Readers' Choice winner, Manasse will receive a $1,000 cash prize.

"I am thrilled and grateful for every single vote," says Manasse, who founded the lifestyle brand Quenchwear to help all women look and feel fabulous. "I had never entered a "beauty" contest before, but the topic of the MORE Beauty Search resonated strongly with my purpose." The contest asked participants to answer the question "Why Makes You More Beautiful Now Than Ever Before?"

"More importantly than my win, I am glad that women all over the country will get to read my "real beauty" story. My own definition of beauty has changed dramatically since my days in the fashion industry, and I hope that my story inspires more women to see beauty the way I now do: Beauty is about seeing, feeling and recognizing goodness. And that's what Quenchwear is all about."
