nes-cheat-fe (nescafe)

They told me
Entering that competition was a pure set up
Tia...you're too dark
too short and too fat
Apparently I didn't understand that
And for 30 minutes under a bright light
Under the scrutiny of judges
On a hot night
I learned
That despite what people say
I can not be a model
Smiling and Bubbly can go to hell
I knew all too well
Odds were stacked against me
But
With sincerity
I can say
Maybe I didn't deserve to win
But I will throw it out there
Neither did the girl that did....

usually you don't let the words of the "haters" get you down - and i'm glad you didn't this time. hell i thought i was the next "red bull girl" when i got interviewed a few years ago.. it just means that soon enough something better will come along. plus know that you'll be glad you weren't held back by something as frivolous as this.
love you much - snoops
