The Fun-Loving People Will Have Their Way.
Hi,
.
When you look at top models, both male and female, they do not really have much in common with the everyday people who drool over the fashion magazines and then dash to buy the clothes that were advertised.
.
You rarely see anyone average looking being used to advertise the clothing sold at high street shops such as Next.
.
However, that may change, thanks to the ‘Next’ retailer’s search for a new model for their brand.
They decided to ask would-be models to send in their pictures for a new modelling competition.
Then the general public were invited to help choose the models who would go on to other stages in the competition, by registering their votes in a first-stage, on-line poll, of all of the entrants.
.
They had a choice from the 5,000 entries which were made before the end of June closing date.
.
The 250 would-be models who have the highest votes will then go into the next stage where they will be judged by professionals .
From this phase there will be 50 contestants left, who will then attend a model boot camp before two of them are chosen in the finals, to have the chance to model for Next.
.
One young man in particular caught the fancy of the people, who then decided that they should try to orchestrate a campaign in order to make sure that he got the highest numbers of votes, even though he is an unusual choice for modelling, being both somewhat overweight and ginger haired.
.
He is 24 years of age and he is a graduate in Computer Sciences.
He was very pleased to end up with a massive number of votes.
It is reported that he gained 66,000 votes, which was well ahead of the next most popular contestant who apparently had a very much less impressive ‘fewer than 100′ votes.
.
It remains to be seen whether he can now make it further in the contest, because there is no future chance for the public to vote for him again.
.
Whoever wins will receive various things such as £2,000, some professional photography and a chance to be chosen to join a top modelling agency.
.
Can he do it….is it possible!!!
What do you think!!!

Roland Bunce….would-be supermodel.
