" These past few weeks I&amp;#039;ve been keeping a MAJOR secret from you...the winner of the Pretty Amazing contest! It was so hard! But, after MTV&amp;#039;s suspenseful Pretty Amazing TV special, I am so proud to introduce Zoe Damacela as the winner and the October Seventeen cover girl! Zoe is so much more than a fashionable face and mega-watt smile. She won this competition for her poise, her patience (did you see how much our hair stylists put her through during her cover shoot?!), her passion for entrepreneurship, and her spirit for giving back. When you pick up the October issue, you will see how all the glamour in Zoe&amp;#039;s life now is actually opposite of her childhood years. She was raised by a single mom; at times, they were homeless.  Zoe started her custom-design fashion business to put herself through college (now she&amp;#039;s starting sophomore year at Northwestern)... She reminds us all that any skill, sewing included, can make you #PrettyAmazing if you put your heart and soul into it and keep dreaming bigger! Fun fact about Zoe: She made this top that she wore for our MTV screening party the night before! She&amp;#039;s also making a custom dress for one of her new Seventeen reader fans, from one of you who tweeted in during the fun Twitter party last night. I can&amp;#039;t wait for the day when we&amp;#039;ll all be wearing her collection! What was your favorite part of last night&amp;#039;s show? Tell me all about it! XOXO  -A P.S. If you missed the show, catch the encores!  Wednesday 8/31 - 9 AM  Thursday 9/1 - 1 PM  Friday 9/2 - 11 AM  Saturday 9/3 - 7:30 AM  Sunday 9/4 - 10 AM "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
