~The plane comes to a stop in Uganda, Africa~
"Wow," Kianga breathes, stepping off the plane, "it's so good to be back to my beautiful home." Krysten joins her, a smile on her face. "Girl, you are so lucky to have actually lived here." Laveda steps off the plane, takes one look at the town and gasps. "You find this beautiful, Kianga?" Laveda askes, then looks like she is going to faint, "What if there isn't anywhere I can bake my cake?" Genevieve, who stepped off the plane hand-in-hand with her best friend, Glaze, rolls her eyes. "Laveda, I don't see how you don't find this absolutely breathtaking. I bet the people here are just so sweet!" Kianga nods, for she knows they are. "What's beautiful," Luke says, exiting the plane, "is how sweet the jet was. A built in hot tub on the plane? How many jets do you know that does that?" Bree looks around, confused. "Where can I plug my ipod in?" she asks, a look of terror on her face, "HOW ON EARTH AM I SUPPOSED TO LISTEN TO MY BTR AND ONE DIRECTION NOOOOOOW?!?" she whines. The rest of the group roll their eyes at Luke and Bree. Madison gets off the plane, and gestures for the group to follow her. Gabriella takes one step on the dirt road, and jumped back on the plane. "Ew," she muttered, then reluctantly follows.

She leads them into a small hut with "ForeverYou studio" written in red spray paint on the side. It looked like it was done at the absolute last minute, resulting in a giggly Bree-- the last thing the rest of the group wanted. Once inside the small hut, they see four unfamiliar faces sitting on beanbags. There is one empty beanbag, and Kianga runs to take a seat on it. Madison turns to the models and speaks. "Guys, these are your clients for go-sees-- Thalia, Miyuki, Andromeda, Kianga, and Jasmine," Madison says, smiling at the sound of Jasmine's name, "Well, and Sandy as well." Madison finished, pointing to the chihuahua standing behind Jasmine. "Sometimes Jasmine and I get get a little... Out of hand, so Sandy is what I call her translator." She paused, then continued."Anyways, if you didn't here earlier, this round is go sees! We have five lovely clients here. What you will do is send the form belong, along with three used pictures from this season of this WNTM, and send them the the clients. You will also be asked to answer some questions and/or bonus questions (BQ). Sounds simple, right? Well, how about you all meet your clients." Madison looks like she can hardly contain her excitement any longer, and rushes over to sit next to Jasmine, or Jazzy as Madison calls her.

Meet the clients!
Who am I you ask? Well, I don’t see the need to tell you, but Madison is telling me I need to. I am Thalia the salt-obsessed pompom kitty. If any of you comment on my *shudders* bright colored fur, I will break you face, resulting in instant elimination and— Thalia! Get on with it already. Don’t rush me. Anyways, I’m currently looking for a modeling debut, but in the meantime, I’m helping Madison and the other judges in Uganda. See, just because I come off as moody, pessimistic, uncaring, and just plain perfect, doesn’t mean I don’t have a heart for the poor people of Uganda. One of the biggest issues in Uganda currently is starvation. I don’t know how those people survive without wondrous food like salt. The truth is, they don’t survive. How sad is it that tons of children and adult are dying because they don’t have food like us? Well, I was recently able to judge this charity contest. The model that hands in the best photos and answers to the questions will get to come with me to Kampala, a major city in Uganda, to buy food to give to the families. That is going to be an unforgettable experience that you won’t want to miss. I am looking for pics with personality, passion, and emotion. Any emotion is fine with me. Just make sure the pictures not only bleed your personality, but mean something. A picture is nothing if it doesn’t mean something. Don’t forget the emotion. Yeah, you better not forget.

Hello, contestants! It's Andy here... you may remember me from last season. I took a bit of a break from modeling after elimination to focus on my other career as a free-lance journalist. I've covered anything and everything, all over the world.. from fashion shows to the war in Afghanistan to major sporting events. However, a place and topic that's always touched my heart is Uganda. Uganda is a country trying to be a land of promise and equality, but it just can't seem to get its footing. There is so much to be improved there... but it only takes ONE person to make a change. That's the focus of my go-see. Please PM megan100160 your responses to the following questions and include three photos from this season. Both shots should be something you would be feel both represent your personality and feature you helping to improve the world. That may not have been your original intention with the photos you select, but take a second look at them and see if you can come up with something. Maybe your posing among a bunch... you could be planting a garden in an impoverished neighborhood to help bring joy to those who live there. Good luck!
1. How do you believe one person can change the world?
2. If you were to go to Uganda to help fix one problem there, what would it be and why?
3. The contestant {or contestants} I select will be coming with me to Uganda {spoiler alert} to volunteer and write an article on our experiences... what type of clothing would you pack if you were to come? {this may seem like a strange question, but your response will help me learn a lot about you}
Be prepared for follow up questions!

Hi! I'm Miyuki, the Arctic Polar bear! I haven't started modeling yet, but I sure hope to soon! Uganda is the absolute best place to be, because you can always have something to do there! I need at least one client to be in my 'Fun Fashions' Magazine. This magazine will not only sport some playful fashions for the Ugandan kids, but once the magazine is published, all of the articles of clothing will be donated to various orphanages in Uganda. Also, all the money collected from the magazines being sold will be donated to Ugandan orphanages as well. I'm looking for playful, fun, comfortable outfits. Outfits a Ugandan kid would be happy to wear, and also be able to play around in. I absolutely cannot wait to see what you girls [and Luke] come up with!

HEY!!!!!!!!!

IT'S JAZZY!!!!

AND WE'RE IN UGANDA!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, it's Sandy now, and I'm going to take over so Jasmine stops wasting your time. She's still the client booking, but I'm going to explain what she's looking for.

So, do you guys know what comes to our mind when we think of Uganda? Not good things. Jasmine is looking for someone who can help model for a few ads to convince people to volunteer their time/money towards helping the poverty situation. You don't need to do anything besides the form when you send in your go-see, though she may ask some follow-up questions.

YAYY!!!!!!!!!!!!! BYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the most important thing I think I’ve ever done and ever will do for my country, or just the most important thing I’ll do in my career. I have such a heart for Uganda- it’s such a beautiful place with beautiful people, who live with broken conditions. They don’t deserve it. My heart breaks for these people- I have lived in Uganda for over 13 years of my life, and I know that the one of the main problems there is water. Every 15 seconds a child dies in Uganda from a water-realted disease. This is because they don’t have proper sanitation there, and I was one of the lucky ones who survived it. 1.5 million children die from diseases like Cholera and Typhoid each year, because of the unsafe bacteria in the water.
What I want to see from you is passion, and a desire to help. You need to convince me that you love these children as much as I do, even though you’ve just barely arrived in Uganda. In your photos, I want to see passion and strong, inspirational love. I also want you to tell me how you COULD help this water crisis in Uganda, and what you WILL do to stop it.

CONTESTANTS: PLEASE make sure you use Paige's form AS WELL AS reading the very last sentence of Kianga's paragraph. It's important you tell her what you could do to and how you will stop this.

*dundundun* Dreaded go-sees. xD Well, they're dreaded for me because I over-analyze and over-achieve everything I do which means my hands will be sore from typing.

ForeverMe · 02-14-2012, 08:20 PM

I know you'll do great, Sarah. If you don't want to push these of until the last minute, I suggest getting started early if you can.

I'm REALLY excited. You guys will be getting some... interesting dialogue between Madison and jasmine. Let's just say that the models will see a side of Madison that they have never seen before. xD

megan100160 · 02-14-2012, 08:23 PM

I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!

Good luck, everyone!

funkyc63 · 02-14-2012, 08:43 PM
