Posted by Dr. Macenstein

Welcome to Macenstein’s“Mac Chick of the Month”. Each month we feature a different die-hard, Mac-loving girl who is (almost) as well designed as the Apple products they love. This month we present you with the lovely Kandice Melonakos, a California based singer/songwriter who is a true Mac Geek.
Kandice Melonakos
“Kandice Melonakos began writing and singing her own songs in elementary school. A born entertainer, she began to explore performing as a ventriloquist and became certified as the youngest known auctioneer in the country that same year. During the next few years she performed as a ventriloquist at the Imperial Palace and Harrah’s in Las Vegas, at school assemblies, and for the Shari Lewis Memorial Tribute. Kandice was discovered by legendary dance music producer and media executive Tolga Katas who also happened to be a Mac developer. Katas saw ways to launch Kandice’s music career through Mac technology and began develop unique Mac software for this purpose.

Kandice was also an Internet-saavy, gadget-loving girl with software and technology fashion ideas of her own. For this reason and others, Tolga picked Kandice to be the showcase artist and model for his new technology and entertainment ventures. Kandice and her music are featured on the “Kandictionary,” KanTalk VoIP software, the KanTalk podcast on i-Tunes and more. Kandice is a software model (NOT a programmer) but she works with producers, musicians, software developers and technology execs on the following projects:

    12. Thanks Doc, for introducing us to another talented artist. I went to her sites, this girl is adorable, smart, amazing and hot. I am infatuated.

  12. Count Macula on Sat, 23rd Dec 2006 2:41 pm

    13. OMM!

  13. Steve Wozniak on Sat, 23rd Dec 2006 2:45 pm

    14. Like Apple products, so irresistable and compelling that you can’t pass them up. Heck, Apple is over 19, by the way.

  14. Dr. Macenstein on Sat, 23rd Dec 2006 3:09 pm

    15. Kandice,

    Is that the real Steve Wozniak?

    WOWsers.
    I’ll frame this page if so.

    Anyone know his IP address, so I can verify?

    :)

    -The Doc

    17. I like the song her butt plays in the Kandictionary.
    :)

  17. Christine on Sun, 24th Dec 2006 8:50 pm

    18. That’s funny and astute Phil! I laughed so hard that you figured that out. Kandice calls that “her most embarrassing moment” as a software model–learning that music plays when people rollover her behind. Her friends figured it out and posted it on her myspace and she didn’t even know. Tolga Katas (the programmer) hid Kandice music in different places in that software, not just the lower half of her body. Anyway, type in the word Tolga and see what the Kandictionary says. It’s cute.

    21. That’s great. This reminds me of the time Kylie Minogue paired up with the Sinclair ZX-81. Ahh, memories of yesteryear.

  21. Russ Weinzimmer on Tue, 26th Dec 2006 2:09 am

    22. As a patent attorney, I’m impressed with that picture of you in patent leather ;-)

  22. Adam Faletti on Tue, 26th Dec 2006 1:44 pm

    23. Excellent work guys. Wow!

    Hey Woz must be rough hanging around that girl!!

  24. Mom on Wed, 27th Dec 2006 5:44 pm

    25. She’s 19 as of December 20th.

    -FYI (to WayCoolJr) - the “Woz” is a his signature, not an etching, done with his own Sharpie last year at the VCF. Cool huh?

    32. Spectacular. Makes me want to buy more mac stuff.

  32. dave on Thu, 28th Dec 2006 3:01 am

    33. I’ve always known Kandice was not only gorgeous, but way talented, and her inner beauty is as dazzling as she looks.

  33. koli's mom on Thu, 28th Dec 2006 9:46 am

    34. What a beauty! I agree with Dave, her inner beauty is the most dazzling and dang that girl can sing!

  34. writeronthestorm on Thu, 28th Dec 2006 11:33 am

    35. I want whatever she’s using!

  35. John R. Llewellyn on Thu, 28th Dec 2006 6:41 pm

    36. If Kandice is as musically talented as she is pretty, she will have a great career. Kandice, don’t let fame and celebrity go to your head. Today’s youth need a clean, genuine roll model, which you portray.

  36. Stephen D.V.W.H.H. on Fri, 29th Dec 2006 7:50 pm

    37. four words: bee oo tee ful!

    four more: boy can she sing!

    51. I cannot believe she beat out Bill McEvoy!!!! It must have been a really tough decision…..

  51. Way Cool III on Sat, 6th Jan 2007 11:17 am

    52. Gonna have to agree with Elgenna here.

  52. Dr. Rob on Wed, 17th Jan 2007 12:33 pm

    58. if kandice doesn’t end up being one of the cultural phenomz of her time i will be shocked.

  58. jimmyjammy on Mon, 26th Feb 2007 5:03 pm

    59. forgot 2 address my first comment apparently. anyhow, what i was saying is that Kandice is this tremendously ambidextrous multi-media artist, who just also happenz 2 be the epitome of a glamour girl as well. can’t see how she doesn’t become a phenom.

  59. ohyeah on Tue, 16th Oct 2007 4:49 pm

    60. Capn Crunch is so friggin hot.

  60. Javier on Mon, 5th Nov 2007 11:00 pm

    61. XD

    Did you all knew that “Melonakos” is just like “Melonacos” (same pronounciation in Spanish) a Spanish Slang word used by young people to say “big pair of boobs”??

    Wich is hugely LOLable!!!

Tell me what you're thinking...
