look little girls over I mean they might

just discover she's a robot but it be

such good experience for Vicki well I

beauty contest you were in a beauty CEST

it was pretty you're sexy but

practical well I just can't believe that

skimpy little bathing suit I was only 9

years old I was skimpier than the

bathing suit you could say it was the

shortest career in Show

Business well I'm sorry honey I just

can't let her be a contestant it's just

too
