Movies 'Gittchy-goo', the baby comes home In Three Men and a Baby, Tom Selleck, Ted Danson, and Steve Guttenberg tried their hands at raising a baby, the result, a very funny and lovable film.

 fay Commercials w zoop sells 'em sweetly In an advertisement for Equal artifical sweetener, Whoopi Goldberg talked of when she was a little girl holding her breath for sweets but if she did not get them, she would hold her brother’s breath. What was the catch...an eight year old was lip syncing to Goldberg's monologue. Loud and obnoxious Jocko on the Energizer battery commercials annoyed watchers with his Oy! Oy! Oy! . Responses were either to turn it off or to plug your ears. Both Demi Moore and Michael J. Fox starred in two outrageous soft drink commercials. Going out of his way Michael J. Fox climbed out of his window into the pouring rain, jumped across cars, and rushed back to his apartment just to get a Pepsi for his good-looking next-door neighbor. Demi Moore went to the ends of the earth also. The Coke Moore was drinking fell out of her window, she crawls along a ledge to retrieve it, then fell down a canopy entrance, and landed next to a gorgeous guy who just happened to be drinking Coke. Always dressed to impress, Spuds Mackenzie, the most famous dog in America, was noted for his surfing, being surrounded by gorgeous girls,and being the best dressed dog in the entire universe. His claim to fame...teeshirts with this lovable dog on the back or the Anheuser-Bush beer label? Some fans were disappointed to learn that the cool dude was actually a girl.

These women include Seniors Angie King and Shari Yeley, Sophomore Nikki Thomas, Seniors Natalie Carr and Angela Stewart. personal evaluation, interviews, and self-interest Each girl gives her own reasons for pursuing interests in modeling. I basically started modeling to learn poise and grace, Senior Angie King said. Others join to gain self-confidence, communication skills, and personal development. Each girl is given a choice how she would like to model. She can focus on close-ups of the facial features or the runway, which portrays the entire body. Instructors are hired to teach the girls the basics of wardrobe, grooming, a proper walk, make-up, and hair. In addition they are taught the fundamentals of communication, speech, and appearance for photo shoots and TV commercials. Age and height do not alter a girl's chance to become a model. Her age can range from seven to fifty years old, and some determination agencies offer a petite elite group for smaller women. Many girls enjoy the experiences they gain from modeling. I enjoy modeling because it is an excuse to let loose and do something I like, Senior Natalie Carr said. Other advantages include the people you meet and the accomplishment of self-confidence. All in all, fun seems to be the most popular experience associated with modeling. Modeling includes its fair share of cost. Twenty classes of training cost me over $1000, Carr replied. Money is just another requirement for modeling. Each of the girls find modeling a valuable experience because it gives them a goal to strive for. They seek to find the best for their inner and outer self, but enjoy themselves at the same time. by Alicia Newton Skipping school is a battle Earlier this morning my alarm buzzed, awakening me. My hand shot out of the comfort of my sheets, and slammed into the clock. I'm not going to school. School reminds me of boot camp-they both stink. With that I shut my eyes and again fell into the comfort of sleep. I was jolted out of my doze by a bright light. Oh no! Spotlights! I slowly opened my eyes to see the image of my mother's face. She wasn't my mother this morning, though-she was the general of the opposing forces. She wanted die impossible- she wanted me to go to school. I shut my eyes and groaned as my mother said Get up, you have school. I'm sick. Sure you are. Get up, the General said as she left the room. I stumbled out of bed toward the kitchen, thinking up a new excuse. I reached the battlefield and took a seat General—uh,Mom—my stomach hurts, I feel hot, and I think I'm gonna’ puke... With weapon ready, the General whipped out a thermometer and shoved it in my mouth. Ah ha! The thermometer, that could be my way out. I ran to the barracks, taking the thermometer out of my mouth and placing it on the lightbulb. I watched the mercury rise . to 100.8 and pulled it off. Perfect. I made my way back to the batdefield. The General walked up to me and pulled the thermometer out of my mouth. She looked at it, looked at me, and felt my head. You are sick. I almost smiled, but caught myself. Go back to bed, Mom said. I slowly crept out of the battlefield, smiling to myself. Again, another war won. by Mark Bowlby
