Am I the only one guttered to see that two models have been named as winners for 2010 egg maternity wear competition.
If models are what they wanted, why didn't they just hire them and not run a competition. I would feel pretty stink knowing I was going up against top models.
Oh Dear!!! Def think its not a fair comp then. If they wanted it to be fair then no one with previous modelling experience should apply
I love those REAL women comps where they do have a few lumps and bumps etc.........those others are just gonna make you feel worse. And To be honest EGG seems to be only targeted towards beautiful women.....
how about run a competition where they make over some typical drabby tired over worked housewife and then run a competition.......that would get my attention!!!
Yeh its interesting how TWO models/celebs won. When you read the entry thing it says anyone globally could enter and they pride themselves in using REAL women - gee does that mean if you don't look like a model your not normal.
Surley if the comp was global they could find two ordinary and gorgeous every day pregnant women who would be suitable for the comp.
They're gorgeous, and good on them - but I agree, if the way the competition was hyped, it's a really bad look to pick two people who are professionals at this.
From memory the year before when they ran this competition they picked a 'regular' woman, not someone with acting/modeling experience... guess this year they wanted that 'celeb' factor (though IMO I don't really consider Aja Rock a celeb... not sure how I would describe her though!)
I see in some of their other advertising campaigns they've used Carly Flynn when she was preggers too.
I emailed an enquiry last night to egg and a lovely lady phoned me today.
She said they felt so terrible, because it wasn't until they released the winners that they found out Monique is also a celebrety. She said they will be issueing a public statement regarding this and apologising and that from next year there will be clause stating that no models or celebrities will be able to apply.
I thought that was so lovely for her to phone and say that and to also apologise to all women on behalf of EGG.
