...and open a briefcase." So goes the title of
this article from The Globe and Mail about Canada's
Deal or No Deal model search. Excerpt:
TORONTO -- You know what? A lot of girls say you know what. Anna Aragona says it whenever she looks aroundat the 700 women behind her, all as eager as she is to be cast as a bombshell briefcase babe on the TV game show Deal or No Deal.
It's so cold and damp outside the Royal York Fairmont Hotel where the auditions are taking place in downtown Toronto, women like Anna, who wore their strappy high heels, are rubbing their toes up and down their calves fast enough to start a fire.
Anna's third in line. She's been here since 5:30 a.m. She's right behind Nicole and Danielle Newman, sisters who flew in from Scotch Lake, N.B., which is somewhere near Fredericton. Anna's a knockout too, but she has two problems: She's 35 years old, and she's 5 foot 1. Casting managers from the show have been patrolling the line for an hour, bellowing "If you're under 5 foot 7 in your bare feet, you are wasting your time."
