The Scoop:

Hi, fashion reporter Samantha Princeton here with my fellow colleauge Mitchel Higgins. Today we are interviewing the models at Aleia. These lovely young ladies are here to tell us a little bit about themselves. We will be asking them the same basic questions to see what really happens during their photoshot and after. Are they all really friends and what do they like to do off the set, are just some of the interesting things we will be finding out about them today.

Exactly right, Samantha and I tell you, I can't wait to get to know more about these ladies. Say, do you think I could get a few numbers?

Not a chance. *laughs* Anyway, we would like to start by asking you ladies a question. One of us will ask it and we'll go around and see what each of you has to say. Does that sound fair enough?

Is that the first question? *giggles* All kidding aside, I think this is going to be great and I for one, can't wait to see what you both have prepared for us.

This is a real icebreaker... I have to warn you, we are getting to the juicy stuff first off. Are any of you dating anyone and if so can you give use a scoop on who you are dating?

Ha! How did I know this question was coming. I guess I'll start. I'm not tied down, anyone would think I were a romance sim the way I act, I'm free and cheery but I do have my eyes on the town bicycle Nina Caliente, I guess I just have a thing for redheads...I blame Dash for that.

I'm not dating anyone either. I do have a few prospects I'm looking at... Oh say, Adam from Maroon 5 and smexy English men but in all seriousness, I do enjoy being single but if something comes along then that's alright with me too.

Why yes I am. I'm currently dating Riku from Destiny Islands.

Well I'm dating only the most handsome sim ever! Well, at least I think so. His name is William Snow and he stars in the Snow Legacy and I believe the boss lady is trying to talk him into modeling for Aleia maleware when it comes along.

I'm dating Aarin Gray. He is a model as well. I've a feeling you all will meet him later.

Next question, ladies and this concerns the first one. If you are dating anyone, how long have you been together and how did you both meet? For you single ladies, can I get your number?

Well we aren't together but I did meet Nina when I first moved to Pleasantview. Nina was the first person to greet me and to answer your "can I have your number" question. We'll have to see about that later. *laughs*

Hmm... No comment

Well, Riku and I met in College, we were dormies. Been together since!

Well, I first saw William on the Snow Legacy and was such a fangirl. Then I totally found out Sarah knew him so she introduced us, sparks flew and tada! We've been together for a few weeks but this thing, it's forever!

Aarin and I have been together for 3 years. He just seemed to fall out of the sky after I paid that creepy gypsy matchmaker an insane amount of money, hoping she'd go away.

Okay this question is also related to the first two. So you ladies who don't have anyone currently don't have to answer. Please tell us, Do we hear wedding bells anytime soon?

For me... Nah i'm not the marrying type, I hate compromise and see no reason why either part should have to give up any of their life. That being said I do want lots of illigitimate sim babies!

Unless they're summoning my special doctor, then no *laughs*

Me? Hmmm not sure, Riku seems to be distracted by his best mate a little too much sometimes.

I guess it's onto me. Well we've only been together for a few weeks so probably not... but you never know. I mean a pleasure sim like me likes the good life but I definitly want a family of my own. Probably just not now when my career is starting. Not that we are talking about that now but you know how random our sim conversations can be. One day you're talking about getting abducted by aliens and the next thing you're wanting 10 babies.

Well...I'm not the marrying type but perhaps.

Tell us, Are you all friends at Aleia or is it a race to get to the top over here?

Oh we're all friends most of the time but I think if the right circumstances and amounts of money came up certain parties would stab certain other parties in the back.

Oh sure, we all get along real well. With all the time spent together, it's natural to have a disagreement or skirmish from time to time though.

I don't really care about being the hottest or the best because simply, I already am. *winks*

Well I would say that we are all friends. I mean everyone is just so nice no matter how different we are from each other and we hang out a lot after photo shoots.

I like to think we're all friends, but can't speak for anyone else.

So, Do you have any beauty tips for us ordinary folk?

Never ever ever brush curly hair when its dry, that would be a NO. and NEVER go out for a dip in the hot tub during a thunderstorm...oh and THINKING CAP + SHOWER = NO

Now listen very carefully because this is important. Pureed boot does wonders to rejuvinate your skin.

Yeah, drink heaps of fluids and get off your rear end.

Don't ever get a makeover from creative college students in dorms. I swear I saw two makeovers that made the sims look like clowns and really, is a small, "free" makeover worth the horror and the big effort of fixing it up?

Never forget lipgloss and get a good hairstyle. Avoid beauty salons where people come out looking like messed over clowns.

So ladies... Tell me, how do you stay so fit?

I work out everyday with either my TV or Stereo, my sister wanted a tread mill but I was all NFW haven't you heard about all the sims out there spontaneously combusting that way lately?

It's the Electro Dance Sphere for me.

I use the tread mill mainly, and the Electro Dance Sphere.

Yoga for sure. There is nothing like twisting and raising your body in physically impossible ways to invigorate and restore the body.

Yoga, plus running by Mrs. Crumplebottom's house, and walking my dog.

I know I love animals... I mean who doesn't? So tell us, do you have any pets?

A fat tabby called Rosie. and we are looking into getting a puppy!

I have two cats.

I do as a matter of fact, my German Sheppard puppy named Murdoc. He's my baby.

I have a dog named Ruff. He's a husky and so terribly cute. He also works as a police dog.

Yes, I have a kitty named Pip and two dogs a golden retriever named Oliver and a Samoyed named Dodger.

Tell us, If you weren't a model what would you like to do otherwise?

I would be the world's best criminal mastermind. With my partner Dash Mufad!

I'd be a Relic Liberator.

I'd probably be a D.J. or a professional Party guest. Something fun.

I'd be a freelance author and an artist. I might also join the law enforcement or military career track.

Probably hug trees, I love nature, man. Although I have always wanted a cult following.

How did you get into modeling?

I was discovered in Veronaville by Juleah who was already modeling for Aleia at the time.

Well I needed some extra money to renovate the family compound.

Someone said I looked good so I figured hey, a good way to make money! Hahaha.

Sim god told me to. It was like fate or something.

A friend of mine asked me if I'd like to go with her to a modeling shoot.

What is your favorite outfit that you've modeled at Aleia?

The one with the peacock on the tee it just f-ing rocks and is soooooooooo Laurie its not funny...

The brown striped top and the mid legth denim skirt. So comfortable and works for many occasions.

Hmm that's a tough one, all the stuff there is fantastic...*thinks*...I would have to say the brown and white spotty one.

It's definitly a tie between the stripe top with the pockets and the undershirt and the top with the canvas heart on it.

It's probably the peace shirt, I think retro is so fun--or the rainbow shirt with the striped undershirt.

Now here is something we like to call the freestyle. Please tell us anything else you'd like to about yourself or just give a shout out, we'd love to hear it.

*blanks stare* uhm....i like cheese?

Thanks it was nice meeting you all...

Hehe okay, well, kids be true to yourself.. if you want to be stupid and have fun do it. You only live once!

I'd like to say hello to all my Aleia friends... well you're all right here with me and I'd like to thank you guys for your friendship... oh and thanks to sim god for giving me the opportunity to model.

Hi mom! And be nice to your cowplants.
