Teisha Mechetti, a nationally recognized entrepreneur and founder of the immersive design firm TH💡NK, is calling for transparency from the organizers of the Inked Originals Cover Girl contest after advancing to the penultimate round and discovering disturbing signs of manipulation.
ROGUE RIVER, Ore. & SAN FRANCISCO & LOS ANGELES & DALLAS - Californer -- Mechetti, who leveraged her participation in the contest to drive awareness for social impact initiatives across Oregon and Northern California, reports that she was outbid by a contestant with no verifiable online presence—a repeat image from the 2023 competition, raising serious concerns of integrity.
"I pushed forward with the support of a strong donor base and a verified campaign strategy. But when I noticed the same image from a previous year—and zero digital footprint—I questioned their vetting process," said Mechetti.
When she requested information about candidate verification and fundraising totals, Inked's response failed to satisfy basic standards of transparency:
"We do not provide donation amounts raised by individual competitors. However, voters can reach out to us at any time and we'd be happy to provide them with receipts of all purchases they have made."

Mechetti believes this points to a systemic issue, questioning how much of the funds truly go to the B+ Foundation and how much is funneled back into Inked's operations. "I support the mission, but not at the cost of integrity," she said. "Donors, competitors, and the public deserve better."
As the founder of TH💡NK (https://thnkntnk.com), Mechetti leads a nationally scaling firm that bridges immersive design, compliance, creative development, and workforce training. Her mission-driven approach blends cutting-edge software with cultural impact to uplift underserved communities and emerging talent.
She is calling on Inked Originals to disclose their candidate vetting process and release a verified financial report of funds raised and distributed to the B+ Foundation by candidate, and rebuild trust through ethical standards.
