the color of the day didn’t come between 6:30am and 7:15am yesterday — sowee that’s the only time in the morning for that before i’m off……so i just wore what’s comfy — light colors in summer. twittering. i’m not able to write anything substantial on what’s happening, and there are lots happening, it’s crunch time now; but i’ll try to make time; i’m just glad there are enough concerned people out there issuing statements, etc etc…
Isla Rosete finished Number 112 in a field of over 65,000 competition entries worldwide in the Benetton casting call.
Congrats, congrats!
Without using a formal organization like a PR agency which some of the professional models who joined were equipped with (as everyone knows, a PR agency can systematically “generate” email votes and text votes), relying on her network of friends, and joining in a few weeks late that she had to catch up, Isla was only 213 votes away from the 100th placer when the voting time was closed. 213! Gosh. that’s only equivalent to a few hours of concerted voting from her friends, if only the worldwide voting time was extended, or if only she had more time to inform everyone. The numbers are in this site: . http://casting.benetton.com/entries/popular_all_time?page=10
i’m guessing, she joined in just for fun.
My fearless forecast for Isla is that: this experience will open new and more doors for her, and one day, the Benetton big bosses will see her on a billboard and scold their staff and say: “What the….how could you have let this face get past us???!!!”
