Congratulations Hope McConnell of Tauranga Girls' College.
My daughter informed that a girl in her class had won a competition in Girlfriend magazine which got the class a free magazine and lip-gloss.
Upon reading the article I remarked to my daughter that it doesn't surprise me that a Tauranga person had taken out the prize. 'How do you mean?” she asked. I told her that I had only lived in 2 different cities during my life, but I definitely notice the way people ‘dress to impress' in this city, that you would never catch them out in their pj's or slippers unlike in other cities, but they wear their Sunday Best, everyday! A stroll through the city means showing off my new outfit or classy pair of heels, or, check out what I picked up on-sale at Supre' or Pagani! Yes it's definitely a fashion parade out there - no need to watch NZ's Top Model, all you have to do is look outside.
I think it's great though. Keep up the good work Tauranga... looking good!
Ivy Prentis, Tauranga.
