Teen Supermodel gets saucy

October 8th, 2008

A schoolgirl contestant on Make Me A Supermodel has defended her decision to appear in a sexually-charged photo shoot for the show.
Sara Longman, 17, will feature in tonight’s episode reclining on a bed and making a sexualised facial expression as a fellow contestant hovers over her, the Northern Territory News reports.
Longman, who last month famously refused to model half-naked, said she had no qualms about doing the latest shoot wearing only lingerie.
“It is a lot about acting — they told me to act like I was Angelina Jolie,” she was quoted as saying in the News.
“In that shoot, it was not Sara Longman — it was a character.”
The Darwin teenager said she and contestant Luke Quill were told to act like they had just snuck away from a party to have sex.
Longman admitted the scene put her out of her “comfort zone”, but insisted it was different to the episode where she refused to appear wearing only underwear and bodypaint.
“The set-up [of the earlier shoot] was disrespectful — we were put in a room and told to strip with all these extra people around and cameras rolling,” Longman said.
“I was fine to do the shoot, it was the way I was treated — I felt taken advantage of.”
