MondayWeek 8-The girl that gets lost
Candice *confessional*-So straight away this week we got a GEORGE MAIL saying “It’s time to GO and SEE Kenya...now you don’t have to be smart to realise we’ll be doing a photo shoot in the middle of Nairobi!
George-It’s time for go sees girls!
Candice-Huh?
Martina- Ahhh!
George-However, here on make me a top model we do things a little differently. First off you’ll only be visiting one casting; however it’s for the prestigious “Imani House of Fashion” in the central business district of Nairobi. They’ll be looking at how you present yourself, your portfolio, your runway walk and your personal style. But! We’re not telling you where it is, you’ll have to find it yourself and you only have two hours to get there and be back here...GOOD LUCK!
Brenda-I can’t believe you’re doing this...
Mika-Do we not have a map or anything?
Lucy-Where’s my portfolio?
George-well you’ve already successfully wasted a minute
Mika-OMG should we be running?
George-...YES! Candice left ages ago, she’s running in the wrong direction but she’s still ahead of you!
*The girls run off in different directions*Mika *confessional*-So after about 5 minutes I ended up in a subway station, I tried asking for directions but no one speaks English or Chinese!
*Meanwhile Candice is in the centre of town*Candice-Hello?
Candice-Can anyone tell me where the yashmak house of design is?
Candice-OMG! I’ve found it!...no wait that’s a bakery
Brenda *confessional*-Well George said it was in the CBD so I ran straight there and managed to find a local who spoke a little bit of English, and he told me exactly where it was!

*In the studio*Brenda-Hi my names Brenda
Zoe-Hello Brenda, my names Zoe Ogumbo and I’m a designer here
Brenda-Oh wow! Would you like to see my portfolio?
Zoe-Of course
*Near the studio*Martina-So if I go left I’ll be near the offices...but if I go right that will lead me to a dead end
Lucy *confessional*- So I’m wandering around portfolio in hand until I see what looks to be Martina like a few metres away from me. She looked up and then BAM! We both just ran
*Near the starting point*Candice-George...anybody?
Candice-Does no one speak American around here?
Current PositionsBrenda-1st

Martina *confessional*-After like running a mile I got through the door just before Lucy, but guess what? Brenda was already inside showing her creepy robotic walk to the designer!
Zoe-Thank you very much Brenda
Brenda- no it’s my pleasure
Lucy *confessional*-My god...what an ass kisser! She’s never this nice!
Brenda-Good look girls...I’ll see you at the finish line
Martina-Hope you don’t get hit by a car!
*Brenda leaves*Zoe-Ok Martina arrived first and I must say I love that jacket you’re wearing
Martina-Oh thank you so much it’s Marc Jacobs!
Zoe-I know style when I see it
*Outside the studio*Brenda *confessional*-So I see Mika running around like a headless chicken practically 10 metres away from the studio...so I put a little plan into action
Mika-Oh thank god! Brenda where the hell am I?
Brenda-The studio’s like a mile way Mika, just keep going down that street with all the stalls on!
Mika
*running off*-Thank you so much, you’re a life saver!
Brenda-Don’t mention it...
*Back in the studio*Zoe-Lucy your portfolio is amazing!
Lucy-Thank you so much!
Zoe-Which was your favourite shoot?
Lucy-Definitely the one where we were dressed in unfashionable clothes, it was shot by Michael Grange
Zoe-Wow that’s amazing! I’m going to keep looking if you could just put this bikini on behind that door there I really want to see your runway walk
Lucy-Sure

*At a dead end, 15 minutes away from the studio*Mika
*crying*-Stupid bitch...why would you do that to someone? Why would you tell them the wrong way to go? I’ve got ten minutes left...I hate her so much!
*At the finish line*Brenda-George I made it! I’m back first!
George-Well done Brenda, with ten minutes to spare, did you find the place easily?
Brenda-Very easily
Martina-I’m here!!
George-And in a close second we have Martina!
*5 minutes later Lucy arrives*Lucy-I’m not late am I?
George-No you’re early!
Lucy-Good good
*Ten minutes after the deadline*Candice-OMG I’m back where we started!
George-Candice you failed to hit the deadline plus you also didn’t see the designer, therefore you’re disqualified
Mika
*running*-I’m so sorry!
George-Sorry Mika you too are disqualified from this challenge
George-So onto the judging, and might I add Zoe was extremely impressed, so impressed she’s added another prize for the challenge winner! The winner will receive some designer jewellery and a summer dress straight from Zoe’s new butterfly inspired collection AND she wants the winner to walk in her runway when she displays her clothes for the first time at New York fashion week!
All girls-NO WAY!
George-So starting with Brenda, she loved your personality, you were chatty and fun...however, your portfolio wasn’t as strong as the other girls and you walked like you were just starting out as a model. Martina she loved your sense of style and thought your portfolio was very edgy, however once again your runway wasn’t perfected. Finally we have Lucy whose charisma she loved, she liked most of your photos and you had a stellar runway walk...so you’re the winner!
Lucy-Yay! Thank you so much
George-Now we have three pieces of jewellery here and you can either keep them all to yourself or share them out
Lucy-hmmm, well I would like to keep the diamond ring and the pearl necklace, but I’ll give the butterfly bracelet to Martina in memory of the amazing race we had here in Nairobi!
Martina-Haha yay, thank you so much Lucy!
George-Well congratulations girls and I’ll see you on your next photo shoot!
Lucy *confessional*-Two challenge wins girls; I think that puts me at an advantage!
