Q: okay so i am considering going to a casting call this saturday for season 13 of ANTM. I found out that its the first season for girls 5'7 and under only!! My twin sister and I have always wanted to try out but never considered it until now because we are only 5'4ish. What do you think our chances are ? We both have very long blonde hair, huge blue eyes, big lips, about 125 lbs and everyone says that we are different from a lot of girls because we're really funny & have a lot of personality. Is it worth a shot or a waste of time? because i know that some of the people they pick for that are very diverse and different. Or any suggestions as to how we could stand out as different at the casting call? Do you think they would cast twins since they already have on the show? Thanks =)
GO FOR IT :D
you won't get an opportunity like this again. One thing that i think allows people to stand out on the show is their name. If you have very generic names, maybe try picking out a "stage name" if you will. Something that reflects your personality and who who you really are. Other than that, the only advice i have is to be yourself and don't be afraid of doing crazy stuff to get noticed :)

Q: what color looks best on a firl with light tan skin, brown eyes, and brown hair? im trying to figure out what to wear to this really important thing of mine. thanks :)
Pale pink, pale green, or aqua. At least those were the best in my experience. you could even pull of a pale yellow

Those are good colors I think, they work good for me.

Try out different things until you find one you like!

Q: I'm not sure if this in the right category, but I need some tips on things/ways to get ready for prom. It's on May 24, and I need to start getting ready. I'm going to get my dress this weekend, but besides that any tips on things to do or things to buy would be greatll appreciated. Thanks!
well as the person above me said, make your plans now with full permission. That's always a good idea.

I would also start playing around with different hairstyles that way you can find the perfect one for prom.

If you have any skin issues (ex. redness, acne) I would suggest that you start getting rid of it. Those can take some time to get rid of, so definitely start now.

Teeth whitening. If you want the pictures to come out gorgeous, i suggest using crest whitestrips or other whitening products for your teeth.

If your tanning. I know a lot of people who want to be tan for their prom and they wait until the last minute using a spray tan and it looks awful. Start trying products now if you want to be tan. ( If you don't need to be tan then skip this =])

Make sure that everything that needs to be done is finished a couple days before prom. People stress out over it way to much. If you have everything set up, the night will be nothing but fun =]

Q: I need to go shopping, so I'm wondering what styles of clothes will:
* Make your butt look bigger
* Make your chest look bigger
* Make your hips look wider
and camoflauge a muffin top, (a flabby stomach)
Thanks!
use jeans with fancy and colorful pockets to make your butt stand out more to make it have a bigger appearence.

Use push up bras. for the chest area.

Use low cut, low rise jeans to make your hips appear wider and to camoflage a muffin top (flabby stomach) you can get babydoll shirts that are loose around the stomach area.

just search for babydolls to see what they look like.

I hope i helped =]

Q: hi,i was jus wondering how do you become a high male supermodel thanks
well you first would have to get signed into an agency. IMG models, Ford models, there are many places you can go. send them NATURAL pictures not photoshopped and if you are good enough looking you will get signed with the agency. then they will set up a portfolio and you will have to go to go-sees with clients just like female models. After you have done enough jobs, you will start to get noticed and after a while everyone will know who you are.

good luck

Q: ok so like you how people have the underlayer of their hair dyed? like a lot of blondes dye it dark underneath or things like that. can anyone find me a really good picture like that? i tried google but it didnt give me much. im going to get mine redone like that on tuesday and would like a picture. the first [and only] time ive dyed my hair i loved it but you couldnt really see it unless i moved my head around to expose it, and this time i want it to show through more. thanks!
ok well im not sure EXACTLY what your looking for but this picture of my friend seemed to fit your description:

Q: Does marc anthony's instant straightning cream work? if so will it work on thick frizzy wavy hair? thanks in advance
It didn't work for me.
hah.
yeah thats basically all i can tell you. i have the same hair type as you and it didnt work at ALL.
dont buy its a waste of money.
i mean i guess you could try it out if you wanted, its your choice.

hope i helped!

you could try using straightening shampoo, conditioner, and sprays, and creams but you will need the assistance of a blow drier or falt iron.

Q: my hair is really thick so if i tell them to thin my hair will it actually make it a lot thinner? advice please. thnx
well you will still have hair haha but yes it will feel and look thinner. I had bushy thick brown hair and i got it thinned out. It made a huge differnce. Sure, it got kind of frizzy but i put an anti-frizz spray on and that problem was gone. i definitely suggest you use the thinning method.

good luck!

Q: I want to go to school for cosmetology not this august but next august. I want to become really good at make up before I start school how can i get better at it not only for the experience but to better how i look?
Experiment and practice. that is key. Try out new things on yourself and ask people what looks best on you. Try your best to bring out your features. Once you come up with a look that suits you, practice it! Practice until you can apply the makeup in your sleep. Try doing makeup on your friends and family.

good luck!
hope i helped =]

Q: How can I get my hair like Ashley Tisdale has in this picture?

http://srtking.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/.pond/pat473.jpg.w300h451.jpg
okay make sure your hair is straight, then curl your hair with TIGHT curls anywhere you want. then gently straighten on time over the curls and then flip your hair over and blow dry and then flip your hair back over and you will have perfect waves =]

top it off with a glosser like shine shock by john frieda.

Q: so recently i bought an abercrombie kids guys polo, destroyed. The collar is not hard like the other normal polos and the button area is very flat. it doesnt have the right feel or fit to it. the collar is really messed up. also i have a none destroyed polo which is also the same. I bought these over the internet which is why i couldnt see them. Any ideas to stiffen the collar or fix it? i cant return it
well at any fabric store for about 2 bucks you can get this stiffening spray it works in 5 minutes and you just spray it on the collar and it will stiffen it.

good luck =]

Q: k so i have thiss..
http://www.hollisterco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/category1_10251_10201_12607_-1_12552

if you look where it says, tanks/camis or whateer, and it shows that girl, with the cami on, well i have that [they dont have it on the site anymore, because i got it awhile ago.] but its basically what that girl is wearing in the photo. but the only problem is, i dont know what to wear under it. like i try tank tops, and ehh i just didnt like it. i saw this one girl wearing a tshirt, but like it dipped down, and it looked perfect, like i actually thought it came like that with the shirt underneath. [sp?] anyways, mines baise. or light brown. so what can i wear underneath it? or what did you do if you have it?
thats a cute top!
well you could wear it as like a baithing suit cover up to like the beach or you could wear a plain white shirt underneath because thats IN right now. scoop neck tees would look great!

good luck =]

Q: what is the best eyeliner to buy from sephoras?

^^ look there

Q: i'm going to a new school next year, and there's a dress code. i usually dress pretty preppy anyway, but can anyone tell me brands that people will be wearing? i know like, vera bradley and uggs and everything. but i usually don't pay that much attention to what i wear and i wanna look good and trendy. what stores have clothes like j.crew, a.eagle, and hollister? what other kinds of shoes and bags will people have? thanks
dont listen to the person below me when he/she said buy clothes from the gap. if you wear clothes from the gap, you will get laughed at. and im totally not trying to offend anyone but thats life. anywhoo, hollister, american eagle, abercrombie, aeropostale, forever 21, places like that are what most people in my school wear.

for shoes and bags, ummmm well a lot of people i know wear flip flops from hollister, flats from american eagle and types of shoes, and like DC shoes or Etnies. Bags, well the new trend in my school is using Hollister, american eagle, and abercrombie totes and bags. But if you mean like purses, then aeropostale, XOXO, Douney and Bourke, and Coach have cute bags. Backpacks are basically anything goes. just do what you feel is comfortable and good luck!

Q: What color highlights would look good in dark brunnette hair?
hmm like sort of a deep gold would look good and like various coffee colors like chesnut or espresso. BUT NOT BLONDE,

Q: how do i get used to walking in heels? i need to wear heels for a wedding and i'm not used to wearing high heeled shoes and i always walk crooked-like and weird, lol thank you!
a trick i use is putting my toes down first and then my heel. Practice this and pretend you're walking down a runway. Just keep practicing and you'll get it eventually!

Q: Would a giirls mullet suiit me thiis is me

>> http://coookiieloove.piczo.com

Thxx Muchh =D
no. do not get a girls mullet unless you want to be teased. only get one if youu really want one. but my advice, is not to get one.

Q: Okay i was watching High school Musical on the disney channel the other nite, and between the commericials they did some dance along thing where the cast members teach u to dance. Anyway Ashley Tisdale was on there and she looked sper skinny and i just thought that i didnt remember what she looked like. So the movie came b ack on and she is "thicker" in the movie. By no means am i saying that she was fat. Just when the dance along came back on i could tell that she was suppa skinny, Like her legs were as big as my lower arms skinny. Just wanted to kno if u guys thought that too.

Cody*
yeah i kind of noticed it too. Hopefully, she isn't anorexic or something. I think if she starts to get too skinny, we'll notice.

Q: what is a "hot" thing I could wear that would get guy's attention, without being too over the top?
Well, im not a guy but i know for a fact that guys like girls who aren't dolled up. They like girls who dress casually. So like Tight jeans and a cute shirt would be good. but super short skirts will attract the wrong type of guys, and you msy come off as a skank. Anything from like Hollister or Abercrombie is good. =]

Q: 13/f. I have very light skin and very light hair, and it's almost impossible for me to tan. I really want to get a nice tan in the summer, so is there any really good spray-on or lotion tan that won't look orange? thanks =]
Well i love Jergens gradual tan because it adjusts to your skin tone. But it does take a while. You can buy it an most drugstores. also, i LOVE SunShield Self-adjusting tanner. It gives a nice tan and it has a very thin sunscreen. But just make sure you wash your hands after or else the insides of your fingers with turn orangey.

good luck!
