Teen needs votes to win beauty title
A PURLEY teenager is in the running to become a beauty princess, but is calling for the community's support to make the dream come true.
Faaria Satvilker has already seen off thousands of her peers in a bid to win this year's Miss Teen Princess UK 2012 by reaching the semi-final stage.
And the 14-year-old is now appealing to readers to vote to secure her a place in the final.
Faaria, a student at Croydon High School, said: "I am so excited about the whole selection experience and cannot wait to get through to the finals to be eligible to become a fresh new face in the modelling world.
"My family and friends are all rooting for me to become one of the finalists at Miss Teen Princess UK."
The semi-final is run via text vote which will go on until 11.30pm on Sunday. To vote for Faaria, text "TP 07" to 81319.

“Actually, following another link to another contestant's plea for votes brings up the following, which indicates that not only will a text cost 75p, it will also be wasted money as voting has closed.
"Texted votes and calls from landline telephones will cost 75p but mobile calls may vary. You must be 18+ to vote and have the bill payer's permission. Votes for this heat will be counted between 16th December and 1st January at 11:30pm, votes outside will not be counted and may still be charged."
Having noticed a lot of posts, and some whole threads, in this forum disappear (most frequently, it seems to me, the ones that are discussing important but controversial events) it's not at all reassuring to see them push this kind of thing in such an unprofessional way.”

“Is the Advertiser fully compliant with all relevant regulations here? The first thing I wondered was whether texts to the number given would be free. A quick search online suggests that a text to this number would cost 75p. I question the whole ethos of promoting this kind of thing, and I always thought the cost of texts, phone calls etc. had to be clearly displayed?”

“Sorry Love, You wont get my vote, as I do not believe in the female meat trade.!
You would be better off getting wonderful grades at school instead of this nonsense.”

“ncb
not the looks for a model? - there are plenty of jobs for models - la Redoute, Argos, Freemans to name a few.
You've only seen the face - what about jobs modelling shoes and engagement rings?”

“Without trying to be rude, she does not have the looks to be a model.
Is this one of those campaigns to get "average" teenage girls to feel better?
She won't get my vote in a beauty contest, sorry.”
