‘Modeling is kind of every little girl’s dream’
BY CARA ANNA
Cox News Service
You’re an attractive teen from
Port St. Lucie. Do you: a.) get
chosen from 20,000 girls for a
chance to be Seventeen magazine’s covergirl? b.) fly to New
York c.) meet the guitarist for
Garbage d.) all of the above.
Allison Willis has brown eyes,
but she brought green ones
(contacts) just in case.
She also brought her blanky
and a reminder to not chew her
nails.
Models shouldn’t chew their
nails. And Allison, 16, was about
to play one.
Seventeen magazine chose
the Port St. Lucie, Florida, teen
as one of eight finalists for its
New Model of the Year contest
and flew her to New York this
month.
Seventeen, known for its highschool focus and its monthly
quizzes (August: “Are you a
gutsy girl?”), looked through
about 20,000 entries. Some girls
sent glamour pics. Some sent
photos from their portfolios.
Allison sent a blurry snapshot
taken by her friend, who leaned
in too close while they were
watching an off-off-Broadway
show last year and caught
Allison with toilet paper on her
head.
It worked.
