Okay...thank you
Happy Sunday to you too

Yea royalvalentine19, true just that most often than not the right persons aren't always seen.

I once was addicted to becoming a well known model and fashion icon in the country. I wanted to be popular (almost everyone wants that), so I decided to stop "roadside" modelling and go fully into it by entering into a modelling contest.
I picked the form for the contest, scaled through the Facebook and instagram votes, then came the time for ticket sales. I was given a target of tickets to be sold and it so happened that I couldn't meet the target given.
Then I asked the organisers if my inability to meet my proposed target wasn't going to affect my stand in the contest and I was told the ticket sales was only a determining factor for the popularity award and not the contest itself.
So, Camp time came and the only thing stressed on was how much tickets contestants sold and they made it seem as though we didn't know what we came for. I remember one of the officials saying "so you girls are trying to tell me you cant sell tickets of how much? And you are girls oh" and then I realised that when it comes to contests in modelling and pageantry, the organisers don't actually care what you have to do so long as you bring in monetary returns to them and their brand. No wonder models and beauty Queens are the least respected. It so happened that it became the basics and foundation for which a queen emerged for that contest and since I wasn't willing to do all that I decided to quit modelling altogether.
