My fellow FReepers. My granddaughter, Grace, is one of three semifinalists competing for a modeling position with a company that makes dancing apparel. The company, California Kisses, is located in Irvine California and they are allowing anyone to vote. There will be three contestants a Month for February, March, and April, for a total of nine contestants. My beautiful and most talented granddaughter, Grace, is one of the first three competing against each other for the Month of February. That is where I need your assistance, to vote and vote often for her. I told my daughter we could help Grace win this.

ready for class
I beg you to vote for Grace by following this link or by clicking on any picture.
The links will take you to Grace's profile page where you can vote for her. You do not have to register, just click the vote button towards the bottom right of her picture. They made it simple by not having any tracking software other than checking for cookies to keep people from voting more than once.
Since I became a FReeper in February of 1998 I have joined together with you, my fellow FReepers, to change the outcome of various polls. Through the years we have proven that, when thousands of us vote together, we make a difference. Today, I humbly come before you, with my proverbial hat in hand, to beg and plead for you to help fulfill my granddaughters wish of winning the model search contest. If she does wins for February, then each girl who won their perspective Month will compete against each other.

granddaughter Grace
In June we will learn if your vote helped her win the semi final. If she does, I will then come back to plead and beg you to vote for her one more time so she can win the contest and become the next California Kisses model for 2014.
My granddaughter is only 11 years old, but she has been training for more than 7 years to become the best dancer she can be. Here is a video to see how good she is already (If I Die young). Her ultimate dream is to be a professional dancer, either in LA or NYC as a commercial or Broadway dancer. Even if she fails to become a dancer at the level she dreams of, she would then like to travel and teach other young girls to dance. Right now she trains with the best dance studio in Texas, the Rise Dance Company in Round Rock. She has even had lessons with one of the best choreographers in the business, Kevin "Tokyo" Inouye.

younger one
My granddaughters career is before her, but she has already done modeling in and around Austin Tx where she lives, but winning the California Kisses model Search competition will help advance her future plans along with helping her parents pay for her college tuition. After all, 7 years is not that far away, and the price of a good school is just going to be more and more expensive as the years go by.
So, without any further rambling on by this proud grandfather, I ask again to please vote for my granddaughter to win. There is no registering at the site and I made it very simple to get there. Just click on any picture below and it will take you to Grace's profile page where you can vote. Below is a screen shot that I edited to show where the vote button is, and after you finish a thank you will pop up to let you know you voted.
VOTED!
Pressed vote ... May I have figured out the link
I’ve already voted for her. Is this a “vote every day” kind of thing? If so, I can do that, too.
Done. Freep that contest!
Cleared my cookies and VOTED AGAIN.
Sure don't find that kind of dedication from kids these days.
Good Luck.
No, only once.
But if she wins this semi final round, she will be one of three around the country to be in the final in June. Then I will be back to beg again. :)
Voted.
cool, it worked?
All three are lovely young ladies. Couldn’t she smile for the photo? The other two look happy to be there!
Done. She is a beautiful young lady, I hope she wins
I guess, red-dawg cleared his cookies and voted again. So if you do that you can keep on voting till you get tired. :)
Not meant as a negative, by the way; just an observation.
The photo was from a professional shoot, and it was one my daughter sent in when she applied.
She forgot she applied for it. She applied for two contests a while back and within two days she found out she is a semifinalist in bother competitions. One for Sadie Jane, and one for California Kisses.
Anyway, that is why she isn’t smiling the photographer told her not to and that is the one my daughter chose to send in.
As one that has danced my whole life, loves fashion, and people, I can see what a superstar this gal is. She is going to have a wonderful life.
Also I share a similar body structure as her. It is a combined muscular but thin look and even though I am 48 now I still have a very in shape, thin beautiful body that looks great in fashion. Her focus on excellence (which is also important to me) is readily apparent in her technique.
I mention this as everything about this young lady, including her passion, intelligence, ability to articulate herself, her love of people, striving for excellence, and positive outlook is going to be a blessing to both her and others throughout her life.
God bless her and how wonderful she is so loved and supported by her family. That will be everything in the end. It was an easy vote YES!
Voted & BTTT
Done.
Done!
Voted!
She has a lot of big smiles in her pictures. She shows versatility which is important in a model. She actually looks more like a model because of that look. one’s ability to communicate without a smile is a critical point of success for both actors and models alike. This is coming from a film director & producer btw.
