~*~ DucKie's Wise Words ~*~
6/29/08- We are going for a different profile “look” to match our contest theme. Hope it looks ok- I worked really hard on it. Anyways, starting up soon I will be doing a thing I like to call “Brownie Points”. Brownie points are sort of exactly how they sound- every time you do something that Lolipop or I think is credible, brownie points are added to your “baking sheet”. Whoever has the most points by the end of a month or reaches 16 brownies first gets a prize. Your prize could be anything from dailies to a featured profile to a free photo shoot pass. So just how do you get points? Doing something not expected of you that Lolipop and I like such as turning your photo in early or getting 1st-3rd place in the photo shoot. There will also be special brownie points that you can earn for the latest photo shoot. In this photo shoot [punk rock], you can get brownie points by wearing converse all-stars in your picture (and have them be visible). I will be doubly impressed if you do wear them in your photo, because that means you actually read this! *Thank You!*
Until Soon- DucKie C:
6/28/08- The new photo will be up soon! Check back again later! This one may be a challenge for some of you, so there might be more eliminations then usual. Try really hard on this shoot and you will definitely stand out among the rest!
Until soon- DucKie C :
6/24/08- WOW! This judging process is so hard! All the pictures are so good that Lolipop and I are having a really hard time deciding who our winner should be! The results should be up very soon- although the decision won’t be easy!
Until soon- DucKie C :
Pictures are due tomorrow! I hope you liked the photo shoot and having me be in charge for a couple of days- (except Lolipop has still been doing most of the work since she’s been back- which I am totally thankful for.) Running an agency like this is a lot more work than it looks like- and she really makes it look easy… Thanks to everyone that has turned in your pictures early- it is a lot of help and gives you brownie points in my book! (Maybe we should actually have real brownie points…..) Well, that’s all for now! If anyone has a comment or question for me, I would love to answer them.
Until soon. DucKie C :
6/17/08- So Lolipop accidentally deleted the newly made-over page.. but all is well! She did an awesome job making it how it was before. Don’t forget- the photo shoot is due Monday!
5/26/08: Hello all! I hope all of your pictures are turing out nicely. Anyways, I just got done with surfing around iTunes and notice one of the songs in the Top 10 - "I Kissed A Girl" by Katy Perry. I had never heard it before so I clicked on the preview and immediately could not believe my ears. I went to a lyrics website to clarify, and found that my ears were not mistaking me. The song is about a girl kissing a girl and LIKING IT. That is horrible to me! I mean seriously.. I could not believe how could someone even say those lyrics and have it be a top seller. I don't even see why someone would kiss a girl with so many hot guys in the world. Just a thought.
Until Soon, DucKie C :
5/14/08: Congratulations to our winner Cookie- I really liked the photo. It had something different from all the rest. When I am judging, there are three main things I look at- The model's face - does it look interesting or just blah? - the background - I can tell if you've put effort into the photo if the scene behind you is different and not just a wall - and finally, I look to see how much the entire picture has to do with the subject of the shoot. I suggest in the future that you follow these guidelines if you want to get my vote. ;) Remember though, if you are really enjoying modeling in the photo, it will show... Just have fun! :D Until Later, ducKie C :

The New Photoshoot is Black and White-- it's a chance to be really creative and show us what you can do! Your opportunities are almost limitless (as long as it's in black and white, of course). I want to be really impressed with this shoot- so really try on this one! Until later, DucKie :)
Hey everyone. I am sorry; it's been a while. I've been busy with so many different things lately, I can't keep track of myself. I just wanted to share some words with you that I found very insightful. "The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond care. Who can understand it?" I liked this verse a lot because I found it to be very true. It seems that quite often we find ourselves forced to make a decision where our minds and hearts are making two different stands. Sadly, the heart tells us what we want to hear, instead of the utter truth that it is not always the best way to go. Today, instead of following you heart, try following the location where your dreams take place. Follow your dreams. -DucKie :)
>3/15: Ok, so I went shopping today and absolutely could not find anything.
3/06: OK! So, my favorite song?? Uh... "This Week The Trend" by Relient K. So, yeah. I have been VERY busy lately... "Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate, but that we are powerful beyond measure."
2/26: We only have a couple of entries so far so keep them coming! Remember that they are due March 10th! I am really looking forward to seeing how creative you can be, even if you don't live in an area that has snow. :) I am really excited because tomorrow is lolipop's birthday! If you happen to read this by tomorrow, please wish her a happy day!
2/19: Ciao! This is DUCKIE, the other owner of whom you have not heard of so far.. You may or may not hear from me frequently; I am more of an undercover agency worker. I would just like to say that I am super excited for the first contest! I am sure that all of you will have AMAZING pictures. It will probably be a close competition. Just remember that this is all for fun, and if you don't do well the first time, there are always other upcoming contests in the works! I love to get mail, so leave a comment for me! Lolipop and I are happy to talk!

Interview with Emily:
What did you do when you first found out that you won?: I was so excited that I squealed a little and then jumped up and down on my bed.

What are you looking forward to this summer?: I look forward to sleeping in late and having lots of time to hang out with my friends and do things that I can't do during the school year.
