My Bio

I am the semi-retired webmaster of four web sites (three running), my website at AvaZinn.com and Vote for the Girls, a site devoted to promoting votes only for female contestants on reality-based singing competitions. Vote for the Girls USA (voteforthegirls.us) and Vote for the Girls UK (voteforthegirls.co.uk) are my most popular websites.


I ran Indiana's television news discussion called INNewsCenter from November 1999 until June 2011, and revived in November 2014.


I also run Retail Nightmares, Vape Back!, and the newest series Caprice & Ella (cat & dog series).


AVA ZINN on deviantART

For many years I've watched a lot of game shows (Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy!, Scrabble, Family Feud, Classic Concentration, Press Your Luck, Card Sharks, The Price is Right, Greed, Deal or No Deal, Hoosier Millionaire, etc.) from when I was a baby boy 8 months of age until I stopped watching traditional game shows altogether as a woman 26 years of age in 2009, following a fateful cable dispute. Today, as a woman in my 30's I tend to watch local news and reality-based talent shows as well as Gordon Ramsay's Hell's Kitchen. (thus a lot of people in America have dubbed me the Gordon Ramsay of talent shows or in Great Britain have said I'm the Judge Judy--or even worse than Judge Judy--of The X Factor, as seen on YouTube)



After playing a few BigJon PC Games--most notably Wheel of Fortune, Scrabble, and The Price is Right and research from deviantART users wheelgenius and germanname, yours truly is on deviantART.... so what you will see are wheel configurations (and even a few original configurations from yours truly, of which are always in JPEG format and my autograph) from Wheel of Fortune, Scrabble, and of course some goodies from Vote for the Girls (which often use sound effects from Wheel of Fortrune, Scrabble, and The Price is Right--a la iKing on BigJon's Wheel of Fortune).


If you want to use, or repost any of my images here, feel free to email me at aeverinezinn (at) icloud (dot) com for the PNG file, but ALWAYS credit me when doing so when making wheel configurations. I'm working hard on them. Especially the high-resolution wheel layouts. My GOOD works here and I, Ava Zinn, would like to make sure I am represented appropriately in all online ventures and are submitted the correct images and/or logos owned and/or operated by Aeverine Zinn Holdings to that end. For questions on use, contact Ava Zinn at aeverinezinn@icloud.com. . Most images fall under the Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 License.


One other thing. Please do not post any demanding requests, suggestions, or recommendations about my work on my page. I will do what I can, when I can. I will also not allow comments that are nonsensical, or those that lack proper grammar.


Also, PLEASE keep your opinions to yourselves. I will definitely not allow any foul language (if you do please do not use the actual swear word but do use f**k for the F-word), or any hostility on my page. I will also not allow people insulting me, or calling me harassing names. If you want respect, show some respect. And please keep this PG-13 rated as well.


Also, if anyone has a suggestion, or request, send it to me in a note, DO NOT post it as a comment on my page. That is why AvaZinn.com exists.

About AVA ZINN (yours truly)

Chicagoan by birth (as a boy), Ava Zinn was brought up in Van Buren, Indiana. With an psychological/mental injury prematurely putting an end to any hopes of a promising career in special education, she went back to business to complete a course in housing and media production management. Her dedication and natural talent led her to train with some of the Indianapolis and Fort Wayne’s leading personalities, such as Bob Imperial and Marshall Davidson in Fort Wayne, and Patrice Rafferty in Indianapolis.


In 1993, at the age of 10, Zinn set up her first wholly owned loyalty program with her namesake Santa Ava Zinn (then Santa Franky Zinn), which quickly received the most prestigious accolade in the gift retail industry. In 2005 Ava became executive of NoSirGifts in Marion, IN. Within three years, was awarded four stars status. In 2011, at the age of 28, Zinn set up her first wholly owned and (former) namesake, KNARF Productions (absorbed into Aeverine Zinn Holdings), which quickly received the most prestigious accolade in the media production world – five stars. Today, Santa Ava Zinn is Indiana’s longest-running loyalty rewards program to hold this award.


Ava has also become a star of the internet both in the Hoosier state and in the U.S., as well as in the U.K, with Indiana web series such as SANTA AVA, as well as the top-rated YouTube channels: Both the American and British versions of VOTE FOR THE GIRLS, INNewsCenter (a television news discussion web site covering all 10 markets covering Indiana's 92 counties from 1999 to 2011) and AvaZinn.com , not to mention her latest YouTube series premiering in 2016, HOUSING HELL.


Ava has a local partnership with United Way of Grant County, and Goodwill Industries.


Ava lives in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
