Mummy's little models

Today adric & family came over to play. I was chatting with adric's mummy and we spoke about shooting model portfolios for our little ones and sending them for auditions.

So I thought I will blog about the girls' brushes with fame so far.

When chloe was about 7 months old (July 2010) we were shopping at a mall and chanced upon an ongoing contest. It was organised by the milk powder Chloe was drinking and hence prizes were related to the milk powder and I thought why not. So we entered chloe and she took a few shots with the friso tin. I think the public gets to vote for the cutest baby and there were judges too. I can't remember the details. But I remembered we waited a few hours at the mall for the results and the family was bored. In the end we were all happy (especially me!) when chloe won a prize! That was her first win! Vouchers for milk powder. Yay.

In April 12 when chloe was 2+ years old I sent her photo in for a contest. Boy was I happy to know that she was one of the 20 babies shortlisted for the runway contest! Chloe was a little hesitant in getting on stage but somehow the clowny mummy made her jump and laugh on stage. She was then again chosen as the final 10 for a second runway show on the same day. She won a prize, not a grand prize, but still I was a proud mummy!

Chloe was also featured in a kodomo ad on young parents magazine. I was flipping the magazine as usual and beamed with joy when I saw her face. I was only notified later that she won.

So how about Kayley? She won her first contest when she was a month old. It was organised by the cupcake store where we ordered her first month cake giveaway.

When Kayley was near a year old, her photos with mummy and daddy were also featured at bus stop ads by friso. Some friends saw us. But I didn't bump into any of the ads.

And that's about it. Mummy got lazier as the girls got older (or mummy got older?) Or mummy got busier as they aged. Maybe I should start the ball rolling again?
