Model’s specs appeal

ALL EYES ON ME: model Rebecca Green.

A WATERSHEDDINGS model is in the frame to win a modelling contract after entering the Spectacle Wearer of the Year 2011 competition.

Rebecca Green (19) was picked from hundreds to become a regional finalist and will join nine other specs wearers at the regional finals in Liverpool's Specsavers on Wednesday.

She said: "I'm so excited about getting through to the regional final.

"When I entered it was a real spur-of-the-moment thing and I never imagined winning, but I would be really proud to represent Oldham at the final."

Rebecca, who has worn glasses since she was six-years-old, said she never felt uncomfortable wearing glasses because if the variety of styles available.

If successful, Rebecca, who goes to the University of Lancaster later this month, could find herself strutting down the catwalk at the glitzy, star-studded grand final at the Boiler House Venue in London’s iconic Battersea Power Station in November.

Specsavers’ style ambassador and popular television personality Gok Wan will present the awards.

Rebecca and her fellow contestants will be judged by a panel of industry experts.

The overall winner will receive a one-year modelling contract, a two-week holiday for two and £250 worth of spending money.

They also get a makeover with celebrity hairdresser Andrew Barton, a 12-month supply of skincare products, an eyecare voucher and the Spectacle Wearer of the Year 2011 trophy.
