The exclusive outtakes that didn't make it into the magazine
Photos, Paul Alexander; Styling, Tammy Eckenswiller.
Miriam McDonald (Emma Nelson), Lauren Collins (Paige Michalchuk) and Sarah Barrable-Tishauer (Liberty Van Zandt).
Sarah shows off the fabulous set of earrings we gave her. Her must-have accessory? Swatch watches (“I have four and I’m collecting”).
Cassie Steele (who plays Manny Santos) showed up to the shoot wearing: Aldo stiletto boots; Levi’s jeans; dark brown belt with sparkly buckle; a hoodie; dark brown T-shirt sporting Toxic logo; hair worn up in a loose, feminine bun.
Stacey Farber (who plays Ellie Nash) tries on her new earrings – a gift from F18 staffers.
Miriam’s idea of a romantic date: “In a perfect world a romantic date would be a really nice dinner, a walk on a beach, going to listen to some really good live music then going dancing—the ideal setting would be Hawaii.”
Lauren’s Spring/Summer plans: “Hope to go to L.A. for a while to see what it’s like, take up temporary residence.” She’ll probably stay there after heading down in March for the film premiere of Take the Lead, starring Antonio Banderas, in which she has a role.
Surprise! The girls all received a special gift from the staffers at F18. What was in the bag? A set of earrings from Baltic Bijoux.
Cassie and Miriam pose for the camera. Says Cassie of getting her hair and makeup done: “You feel pampered.”
Stacey’s fave music of the moment: I Am Me by Ashlee Simpson, The Best of Michael Jackson, Monkey Business by the Black Eyed Peas, Gwen Stefani.
