“A Summer of Passion for Fashion Every Saturday from July 7 to August 4 (2001) in five malls across the country, Limited Too will unveil a Fall fashion show co-hosted by the reigning Olympic gold medallist Tara Lipinski and celebrity stylist Stephanie Wolf, and invite a select group of girls to compete in a variety of games for a chance to be a “Passion for Fashion” finalist. Five regional finalists, as well as a winner selected from the company’s Web site ( www.limitedtoo.com ), will travel to New York City for a fashion show, a free concert by O-Town, stars of the popular ABC television show Making the Band, as well as up-and-coming singing sensation Myra, on Saturday, August 11. Finalists will also get to meet the musicians backstage. In addition, a New York area participant will be chosen from the crowd on the day of the event. The girls will compete for a chance to win the Grand Prize — a $5,000 scholarship, TOO-thousand dollar ($2,000) Limited Too wardrobe, and a modeling opportunity in the company’s Catazine (direct mail catalog). Tweens Invited to Dress Like Favorite Stars Girls are invited to come to the malls dressed as their favorite female pop star - whether it’s Brandy, Beyonce, Pink or any favorite star - and stylist Stephanie Wolf will advise them on the hottest styles for the Fall season.”

I WENT TO THIS BULLSHIT WHEN I WAS 12 YEARS OLD IN 2001. I DRESSED UP LIKE BEYONCE FROM THE DESTINY’S CHILD SURVIVOR VIDEO. I HAD ON CAMOFLAUGE AND EVERYTHING. THERE WERE SO MANY GIRLS THAT THEY DIDNT EVEN CALL ME TO GET UP ON STAGE. 

I DIDNT CARE ABOUT THE $5000 SCHOLARSHIP. LORD KNOWS I DIDNT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT O-TOWN. ALL I WANTED WAS TO GET THAT FUCKING MODELING OPPORTUNITY IN LIMITED TOO’S CATAZINE.

I HAVE VIVID MEMORIES OF GOING TO THAT CONTEST, WATCHING A BUNCH OF PRINCESS DIARY PROMOS AND WATCHING A BUNCH OF WHACK WANNABEES GET ON STAGE AT BOTCH PINK SONGS. THEY DID NOT ANTICIPATE THE HUGE TURNOUT THEY GOT, AND THEY WERE ILL EQUIPPED TO SPOT TALENT IN THE CROWD AND CHOOSE THE RIGHT GIRLS FOR THE JOB.

I GOOGLED IT JUST NOW TO CONFIRM THAT THIS LIMITED TOO MEMORY WAS REAL AND NOT SOMETHING THAT I MADE UP IN MY BRAIN.

NOPE. IT WAS REAL. THEY WASTED MY TIME AND DISRESPECTED ME. I WAS UPSET, HURT, AND SHOCKED. I SAW MY DREAM OF BEING A LIMITED TOO MODEL SLIP THROUGH MY FINGERS.

AND I DIDNT FUCKING GET MY SHOT TO MODEL FOR LIMITED TOO. NOW THAT SHIT IS CALLED JUSTICE. SO AT LEAST I KNOW MY LTD2 DREAM WILL NEVER HAPPEN. 

COOL, THANKS FOR THE BULLSHIT LIMITED TOO.
