Thousands of fantastic entries for our cover star competition have flooded into Bizarre Towers over the past few months, and choosing a winner has been an unenviable task. But undeterred, our team of experts – led by Bizarre’s art director and evil genius, Dave Kelsall – gathered in a subterranean bunker deep beneath the earth’s crust to pick a winner.

But slowly, like a geriatric hamster turning a wheel, an idea came to our judges: two cover stars are better than one! So we’ve crowned a Search For A Cover Star competition duo – the astounding Vivi Sterling and Fae Raven.

Allow us to introduce you to the two newest superstars on the alt.girl block, as we delve behind the scenes at the biggest modelling gig of their lives to date. Despite having to deal with numerous latex costumes changes and a horny dog called Foxy attempting to chow down on cover girl fanny, the winning pair came through admirably and look amazing as we’re sure you’ll agree. All hail Bizarre’s newest stars.

Vivi
It’s hard to believe, but just a few months ago the stunning Vivi Sterling was about to quit modelling forever. Fed-up with dead-end shoots, the 25-year-old almost missed the deadline for the Search For A Cover Star competition. “This brilliant shoot has jump-started a career I was going to give up,” she grins. “I think the judges liked me because I can put my whole fist in my mouth. Or because I’m badass in platforms.”

The pocket dynamo with a giant personality grew up in an impoverished, single-parent family in Houston, Texas. Aged 10, she was placed in foster care where she began to receive the encouragement she needed. “It was amazing, my foster parents pushed me to do better,” she says.

Vivi went to university to study palaeontology, but dropped out in 2004 to concentrate on modelling. Her most tumultuous year so far has been 2008, when she tracked down her biological father. “I found his telephone number online and called him,” she explains. “It was overwhelming – we were both crying – but it felt so good to reconnect with someone I lost long ago.”

In the same year Vivi married boyfriend Jonny Scott after a whirlwind romance. Their love is immortalised in her favourite tattoo: “It’s a portrait of our first kiss. Anything on my left side means the most to me because it’s close to my heart.” She moved to Glasgow and now has a striking half-Yank, half-Glaswegian accent.

Outside of modelling, Vivi has a fixation with art and taxidermy: “I like taking animals and turning them into a memento of their time on earth – it’s like a funeral for the little critters.” She also has some life-and-death kinks in the bedroom: “I like asphyxiation – but my husband won’t do it because he’s afraid he’ll kill me.”

Having attained her lifelong dream of gracing the cover of Bizarre, Vivi now wants to stay in front of the lens. “It would be nice to inspire people not to give up, to do what they want and to stick to their guns,” she says.

Fae
The key to Fae’s success is in her honest approach to modelling. “I was chosen because I’m myself: weird,” she says. “I don’t put on expressions and I bring real life to the shots.”
Born in Reading to a large family, the 24-year-old admits she’s taken a circuitous route to success. “I was an angsty teenager. I was miserable and thought everyone was against me,” she laughs. “I went down the wrong path and it took me a while to sort myself out.”

At 19, Fae gave birth to her son, Draco, and began modelling soon afterwards. “I didn’t have much confidence, especially after having a kid, but my friends encouraged me,” she explains. Being accepted for Suicide Girls gave Fae a boost, and by 2006, she was arranging her own shoots. “But for an alternative model, Bizarre is the fantasy, the ultimate shoot,” she says.

Draco, now four, is the focal point of Fae’s life. But he’s not named after the blond-haired brat from Harry Potter. “When I was pregnant I spent a lot of time reading about dragons,” she reveals. ‘Draco’ is the Latin word for them and her son inspired her favourite tattoo – a dragon on her back. “It’s my ode to my baby dragon,” she says.

Aside from modelling and mothering, Fae is an amateur tribal belly dancer and a budding artist. “My favourite thing to draw is alt.models – only curvaceous ones, though.”

Ethereal, kooky Fae loves feeling and looking hot, and corsets are her favourite bedroom attire. “It’s sexy when a women goes to extreme levels to be attractive,” says Fae. And what does she find attractive in men? “I have a thing for hot rod cars and guys with thick necks. I don’t know why.”
