After reading this article and the answers to the questions, I must say this "woman" doesn't seem to have a brain in her head.

Just look at her priorities:

"I consider being a student at USC a hobby rather than a chore. That means football games, all the social events, not to mention my major being the most fun thing a girl could major in - fashion!"

An education to her is a "hobby" More important to have fun then to get the education.

"I got a trainer! I wanted my body to be in even better shape overall and just to feel healthier. I was in desperate need of getting my hair re-highlighted but held off on it because I went in this to win it, and that obviously means making it to makeovers, so I figured I'd cut my hair a break if Tyra would be changing my hair shortly."

Hair and makeup is so IMPORTANT in life.

"Pawleys Island is about the size of a grain of sand, so no one exactly knows where it is, unless they're lucky enough to live or vacation there."

You have EXCELLENT skills in public affairs. You would make a GREAT spokes person for Pawleys Island. I am sure all the towns people LOVE being referred to living in a place that is the size of a grain of sand.

"This all depends on your body type, of course, but you're always safe with a dress! My first everything's I do are in a dress: a first date, first day of class, first interview. You just can't go wrong showing off those legs!"

That's right, don't try to talk about any actual SKILLS you may have because you don't have any, that's why you have to try and use your legs to get attention.

This is one shallow, dumb "broad" and I would say the same thing if it was some guy who talked the way she did except I would call him and "airhead".

I loved it when someone like this would come in for an interview and I would get such a kick out of asking them questions of things they should know and watch them stumble and try to think of an answer. It was always good for a laugh and after the interview we all had fun laughing at them. The thing was, you could pick them out right at the beginning. They wore so much makeup and acted so "bubbly" and usually had "valley girl" laughs. Sometimes I wanted to say, "You have to start at 8am, so can you make it by then because you probably need 2 hours to get ready each morning to do your hair and makeup :) Or are health insurance doesn't cover broken nails and I think that would be a major crisis for you :) They think everything in the world is like what they see on TV and in magazines and the whole world is "Hollywood". They are so out of touch with the real world, again just read her replies to the questions.

I wish you all the luck in the world! I don't even know you but I will definitely cross my fingers for you to win. It would be awesome for one of our own "Carolina Girls" to be "America's Next Top Model"!!!! Don't let anyone bring you down because of their own shortcomings or jealousy....the person who called you a "broad" is most likely just another stupid yankee. GOOD LUCK!!

What is there to be jealous of? Being not too bright and having no priorities in life? Thinking being a "party girl" is more important then getting an education. Like getting a degree in fashion is probably really hard to do. Probably about as hard as it is for a football player to get a degree at a major college. Someone rips bluejeans and puts them on the market and they become a hit. That took a lot of brains to rip some jeans and that is "fashion" That ranks right up there with being a nurse, Doctor, serving in the military and so on.

Remember, she is the one who said she looks at school as a hobby, not me. That her highlights and makeup are so very important as well as showing off her legs.

Trust me, if some guy said how important his muscles were and his hair was and he was going to try and use his looks to get thru life, you all would call him shallow.

Clearly you got a great education...
I went to highschool with Clark and she is not dumb like you seem to think. Maybe she isn't used to the spotlight and answering questions; somehow she must have missed the Miss Universe class at WHS. She was athletic and nice. Give her a break. She's pretty and she knows how to use it to her advantage. I didn't know her well enough to speak for her, but she HAS always wanted to be a model. Why are you talking crap about someone who has a dream and is close to achieving it? Where's the problem there? Not everyone wants to be the president, or a neurosurgeon. She's also 19. My apologies that she hasn't solved world hunger yet.
Also, about Pawleys Island. It IS small. And I'm proud of that. Please don't ever vacation there. We only want people to come who can appreciate it.
I wish Clark the best of luck and hope she comes back and models at Charleston Fashion week!!

Well, sure sounds like she appreciates Pawleys Island. after all, she compares it to a grain of sand. Now that's some endorsement. You might want to contact the local Chamber. Could be a good marketing campaign. "Pawley's Island, were so small, were like a grain of sand"
Yeah Yeah

And it only took five post to throw in the yankee comment. Picture this, what if every northerner packed up and left. Think of what would happen to this town. We actually do consider this home and contribute to the economy. If you think we are immune from the crime, the layoffs and the rising costs of living here, then you are wrong.

A tourist town that hates tourist and blames everything on the northerners that moved here. With all the new houses, apartments, condos, hotels, roads, stores and restaurants that have been built here to accommodate all that have moved here, now you want us to leave. If we did leave, can you imagine what the taxes would be on your trailer. How would you survive on your $10.00 an hour job. Your elected officials wanted us so go talk to them. Your just upset because your waitresses would rather serve us than their own kind because we know how to tip. Get over it already.

LOL...that was great! They just don't get it, do they? We don't hate tourists at all. We hate yankees who move here and complain about how bad it is here. We would much rather you just visit, spend your money and GO BACK UP NORTH!!!

Obviously that is slowing down because word is getting out that MB is turning into a dumb. Criminals get arrested and their charges are and they are back out again. Taxes and cost of living are going up and salaries are going down. Because Americans have been so busy fighting with each other, we have watched this country get sold out from under us. For you to sit there and say all northerners are bad is for us to say all southerners are ignorant, toothless morons. Go take a trip to somewhere outside this area and get some culture in you, your red-neck is showing.

I know this girl very well....she USED to be a very nice, caring, beautiful person. But all of this has gone to her head. She's "been in modeling all her life" yada yada yada whatever. See if she mentions who got her her FIRST modeling job. Oh...that was me...with KGB (Kirsti Grinna Bikinis, daughter of Tara Grinna) in Myrtle Beach. I had to hold her hand when we got to the audition, and i also knew the judges because they were friends of my family. Oh...did i mention this was only about....ehhh...3 years ago...so sorry Clark...didnt mean to spill the beans on you but...credit it due elsewhere. Cant wait to see how far she makes it....im sure the media would love some of MY modeling pics of her. Goodluck....maybe you'll be another Paris Hilton or Kim K. myspace.com/nickhero29

I watched the show last night and I wasn't impressed with your behavior with the "HESHE", that is what you called Isis. People are people and I now it's just your age but you need to stop judging people and just work hard at your goals. I am trying to get my daughter started into modeling and no matter if she makes it or not I hope she upholds a strong Christian faith to radiate on her fans and girls that have the same dreams. Good luck....
