Profiles

Hello my name is Olivia Povey. I am eighteen years old and a student living in Leek, in north Staffordshire.

Could possibly make a plea for you to vote for me, as I have made it through to the semi-finals? I have until 11.30pm on the 15th December to get as many votes as possible to go through to the finals next year.
At the moment I am competing with around 30 girls between 16 and 19 and so I need all the help I can get!!
The top two girls in this round with the most votes will go through to the finals.

The competition website is www.missteenqueenuk.com - click on the '2010 Teen Queen Heats' link on the left.

Who Am I?

I am studying Media Studies and Geography and take a keen interest in Art and Film and aspire to have a career in Media and Film Production.

I first heard about Teen Queen at the Clothes Show Live 2008 and decided to give it a go for fun. However, I did not progress with it any further that year.

But, I had recently done a charity modelling event with my local hairdressers, which was in aid of the Hopes and Dreams charity and this pushed me towards doing more events like this, not just for myself but for others.

So I thought about it again this year and decided to go for it again. After completing the application form I got an immediate response off the organisers, asking me to go to Fairlight Studios in London to take part in a photo shoot - and took the opportunity straight up!

After completing the photo shoot I felt really positive about myself and realised that in doing this competition I’m not just doing it for myself but for any other person who’s had low self esteem at one time or another.

Another side of the competition that I found appealing is that it is in aid of The Philip Green Memorial Trust - this is a charitable organisation helping sick and disabled children all over the UK and overseas.
It supports welfare, medical and educational projects as well as helping individual children lead a normal life.

I am now through to the heats round – this is like the semi-finals, in which the public votes for the girl they want to see going to the finals in 2010.

Please vote for me! Just text Olivia Povey to 84205; or call 0901 656 1515 and quote number 4.
(Please be aware: All calls and texts cost 60p plus standard network charge. All voters must be over 18 and have the permission of the bill payer. Voting help desk 0844 561 6410...)

Olivia & supporting friends!

Good luck also to Chelsea and Kirsty - who are also from Staffordshire - and who are also in the competition!
