1And I love Mike.
So anyways, there we were sitting with all these mags, drinking, gossiping and driving the maid crazy. (the maids name is Millicent). When Tish says: (I shall do this like a script):-
TISH: I am going to try out for this model competition.
SILENCE.
ME: Really? Does it cost anything? (That's me, constantly thinking about money)
TISH: I don't know, why? You want to do it as well?
JAN: I might! I mean, guys like models don't they?
SOFIE: I guess so, but what would we have to do?
TISH: (shows advert) Read it.
Hav u got wat it take model?
Revlon© is sponsoring this years Model Search. We are looking for girls between 10-19 years old to audition for this years Model Winner! Can you be a model? Do you have the looks and personality to be a model? Model for us now!
Basically, that's what the first two lines were. My first reaction was; Did they put the word 'model' in enough times? It seems as though they invented it.
But after reading down a bit and found out that it cost nothing to be involved, I was quite looking forward to actually trying it out.
TISH: So?
ME: Yeah, if you do it, I will.
JAN: Same.
SOFIE: Me too.
CARMEL: Do we have too? There will be millions of other girls there and what chance will we have, really?
SILENCE
JAN: Yeah … so, when is it on? I have to get new clothes.
We proceeded to argue (which is our form of discussing) about who and what we would do to enter. I was rather excited about the idea, as I have never been a model before. I'm not beautiful, just average.
Tish, isn't stunning either. It's just that she has all the recent clothes so she always looks good, oh, and she's blonde. That probably makes a difference.
Carmel, is really beautiful. She is part Aboriginal, she has darkish skin, but blue eyes. Weird, I know. But it looks fabulous! She is not fat, but plump. Kind of like a teddy.
Jan has the biggest boobs in the world, they are seriously like little people on her chest and probably weigh about the same. When we go to dances she is the first to be asked to dance for obvious reasons. But she usually comes home crying for really obvious reasons.
Sofie perhaps looks the strangest. She insists on having pockets everywhere. Like everywhere. She looks like a bag woman with red hair and freckles, because she has something in every single pocket. Mostly tic-tacs, so she sounds like a giant maraca.
So there we were writing in our forms (in exactly 25 words or less) about why we wanted to participate. Mine went like this:
I believe that I would be an asset to the modeling world because I have patience and stamina. From what I have heard these things are crucial.
The end. I know it is 27 words, but Mr Revlon will have to find a way to deal with that.

Well, we are all discussing (arguing again) about what we should wear to enter. Naturally, we were all wanting to wear Tish's clothes. Her walk in wardrobe s like as big as my house. Ok, a slight exaggeration.
So, Sofie decided to make her own outfit. It will probably be like one HUGE pocket. And Tish has decided to dye her hair.
'A nice pink will do the trick.' I said.
'You think so? Hmmmmm, that's not a bad idea Mel. Whaddaya think Carmel?'
Carmel looks at her like she has lykemia, measles, warts and a cold rolled into one tattooed on her forehead. And a Harry Potter scar. Basically, she give Tish a not very nice look.
'This is a stupid idea,' says Carmel, helping Jan straighten out a top that makes her boobs look like they are about to form a union and go on strike.
'No way!' says Jan, almost squeezing a boob out of shape as she tries to harness an escaping basooma. 'this is gonna be great!'
She flops on the bed and her chest starts to burst through the top. 'Um, Tish?' Jan askes 'I think this one is a little small for me,'.
Thank you captain obvious.

Elbordio! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn. Snuffle snuffle.
Ok, so, we have submitted in our forms and received a little card thing that says:
Thanks for you entry and photo!
Check out some of the fab entries we've had to the Revlon model search! – eat your heart out elle mcpherson!
To see some cool entries, head to www.********.com!
Hey! You might even spot yourself!
I don't exactly understand how that is supposed to boost your self esteem when they talk about all the 'fab' entries. Not happy. Ah well.
On the back, there is a time and place that we have to go for the judging. Mine is in two weeks. Carmel's is the first out of all of them. And she really doesn't want to go. But she's sooooooooo beautiful.
