TWO CARLISLE GIRLS HEADING ON “MODELING CRUISE” [TO CAYMAN] IN OCTOBER
By Samantha Madison, The Sentinel
CARLISLE — Two high school freshmen are getting lessons in fundraising, responsibility and professional modeling.
Marlene Lee, 15, and Karen Back, 14, both of Carlisle, along with their mothers, will be boarding a cruise headed to Mexico and the Cayman Islands in October.
The teens will not be going to swim with dolphins or relax on the beautiful beaches. They will be on Passport to Discovery, an international talent competition cruise, which allows teens to showcase their talents in modeling, singing, acting and dancing.
“It really is a fabulous opportunity because of the fact that she’s going to get in front of so many agents and directors that it would take years to get in front of,” Karla Back, said of her daughter Karen.
“It’s the opportunity of a lifetime. We’re both a little stressed … when the unknown is there, you don’t know what to expect.”
Karen said she is hoping the cruise will give her a chance to realize her dream of modeling or acting for a well-known publication or station. She will be participating in seven of the competitions on the cruise.
“I am looking to get call backs,” Karen said. “(My dream is to) be on TV or Disney Channel or on the cover of a magazine; I’ve always wanted to be on the cover of a magazine. The people on the ship are from all over the world and they work for a whole bunch of different agencies. Some people work with Vogue magazine, Disney Channel (and) MTV. It’s intense.”
Marlene will be competing in nine of the competitions on the cruise, trying to get a contract with one of the many companies represented on the ship. She said she’s always wanted to be an actress, but recently discovered she loves modeling, too. While school is important to her, if she got the chance she said she would move anywhere to work in the business.
“School is very important to me and I still want to go to college,” Marlene said. “But if I got picked up by an agency in a different state or different country, I would just go ahead into cyber school or home school. Academics (are) extremely important to me; I want to study criminology and get my law degree. … But if I get picked up, I will not hesitate and I will do anything I can.”
Both Marlene and Karen attended and graduated from Barbizon Modeling’s four-month class in Lemoyne, learning everything about the industry they might need to survive the grueling fashion and acting world. After they finished, both auditioned for Passport to Discovery and were accepted to the possible career-making opportunity, Karla said.
The chance to show off their talents in front of international scouts is something neither of the girls is willing to pass up.
Both girls are now organizing fundraisers in order to cover the cost of the trip.
Marlene’s mother Karen Eriksson-Lee said they have until Wednesday to come up with another $1,000, so that Marlene can enter all of the competitions.
Karen has been selling chocolate every day after school and has a deal with a local business. Every time a customer at Brad’s Pizza in Carlisle says her name, 10 percent of their bill will go toward the trip.
Anyone interested in helping Marlene work toward her goal should call Barbizon at 234-3277 and to help Karen call 608-0231.
Marlene and Karen say they have seen a boost in their confidence since joining Barbizon; however both of them are working to make sure their opportunities do not go to their heads.
“I’m very confident, but I keep telling myself not to get cocky,” Marlene said. “But, I still need to stay humble and not crazy like Miley Cyrus right now.”
