PARIS STAFF read this note, hackers present
ok hackers, hack profiles that's fine but don't keep me out of the top ten when I deserve it. Bco, I saw your profile jump 300 in about ten minutes today.
I was in the top ten for almost the entire week, only a couple times was my picture temporarily in slot eleven and I caught back up. I was in slot 8 for most of today. just got bumped out by one vote at 11:59. frustrating bco and threepointoh. threepointoh, when voting ended you had slipped yourself one vote ahead of mine, now there's more than that???
A Quick Note
Hey all! I wanted to post a sweet testimonial I received from one of the viewers:
liquidfusion: Hi!!! Here's my Vote! You're the sweetest / bravest / most beautiful skyangel who'll make sure Paris earns her wings!!!
and thanks to everyone else who left me kind testimonials!
I posted a new blog with important information but this one just bumped it off the page, so please go check it out!!!
Just so you know!
In the about section of the website, it still, yes still says that you have to be 18 and older to audition. Audition is defined as: a trial hearing given to an individual to test suitability for professional training, competition etc. Therefore, as the site says itself, all 18+ can try out to be on the show. This site is for that one purpose, those working towards getting on the show. It may have at one point said that you had to appear to be the age of 21 (-24?)... The only way you sign up and NOT have a chance at getting on the show is if you sign up as a voter. A voter is opposite this, and as defined by this site, is someone that will "only want to judge people and vote."
I would not have first of all signed up for this if I were not at all qualified, and secondly would not have continued to work this hard had the requirements changed. I have watched and am watching the site closely and paying attention to the requirements from the very start, as all the sign up info said to do, and am still qualified by the measures put out by this site. Age doesn't matter when it comes to people in the age category, because maturity and experiences span as far as you can imagine.
My video with the three questions (wildest thing done, what you don't want exposed, and fitting into the socialite circle) was uploaded on time. I just found out that there were two parts on this website for the recent part of the cycle that had requirements and the one I had been looking at regularly had weeks 5, 6, 7, and 8 blog and video requirements listed. That section at no time before the end of the 4th round said that the video needed to be completed within the first four week period, I checked it constantly to make sure I followed it. I have met all requirements! I am still going for it, and competing honestly to be Paris' friend, to be her friend, not just to freak out because she's famous.
PLEASE READ
I wish I had some professional pictures up for you guys, they are all on my computer that crashed :/ So you just get the more fun amateur ones on this computer. They most definitely do not capture the audacious or modeling side of who I am. I want you to know that I appreciate all of you who have been voting for me. You don't know how much it means! I have been voting all of you the best I can. I have worked hard in this competition, and did not have as much time to be online as I would have liked, but I had to finish up my semester courses. Only one more final today!
I wish there were a way for you to get the whole me, I have SO MUCH to share, and so much that is not represented by this profile page. I have been thinking over the 8th week blog requirement question, and while previously I said my personality wouldn't change, it would. I would become more professional and driven. My fierce side would come out and I would function at a higher level. I'll make the tracks I leave make a difference. My dedication and hard work would kick in at the level that I know I am capable of, which I haven't had the chance or resources to make use of. I would be more fashion-minded. I'm a go-getter, and my 110% mentality would continue and be active in everything I did. I'd also keep pursuing acting, I've been in 3 major films (two set to come out next year) and am excited to continue my career. Paris, I've got your back. Nobody can mess with that! I am ecstatic to have a good time with you. hey if I were in your life and you called I would drop everything for you! Haha we would be the best of friends and laugh until we cried and our stomachs hurt!
I'd write more but the final is calling
If you've read this far and haven't voted yet...there's that famous button on the top left of your screen, give it some love.
Honest competition all the way
love you all
-Rachel
YES!!!!!!!!!!!
I finally finished my commercial! I have spent HOURS on this and I am "publishing" it to a format that goes up on the site as I type this!!! I can't wait! They were hours spent that could have been used for the voting department, so help me catch up guys for lost time! If you're at my page and it's not up yet, come back in a bit to see it!!!!
Have a good day everyone and GOOD LUCK!! Leave a testimonial on my page when you vote me and I will get your vote back ASAP!
and I have to study for finals tonight so keep 'em comin'! I appreciate everyone who's voting for me!!
Love you guys!

Blog Requirement--ATTN: Parisbff Staff
Parisbff Staff:
I was reading through my blogs just now, and noticed a typo in my week 6 requirement. I clicked edit, and once editing my mistake I clicked submit. But instead of updating, it deleted it! I had it saved in a document on my computer, and I have pasted it into this blog. I had it posted during the correct time for the correct week, and I found evidence of this: I reffered to it in the blog which was posted after it, which is entitled "The video, you ask?"
Here's the week 6 requirement blog below:
My high school experience. hmm...
I would say it was, yes positive. I went all out for track and field, I had never done track before my junior year and gave it 110% of myself and came out winning rookie of the year! I was so dedicated that I broke my PR (personal record) every meet, by at least 30 seconds. It was crazy! My senior year I started a dance team for my school, we previously only had a cheer team, and I led it as captain, and had a blast choreographing the routines. My class was, as they lovingly called themselves, the "slacker class" and while I had a great time with them I made it my mission to befriend 2 freshmen, to help close the gap in maybe at least a small way. And yes, tah-dah, I we still keep in touch with each other. There you have it, a picture into my life as a high-schooler. My pictures though? Maybe a tad embarassing. I'm glad you only see pictures of me now, haha. okay, okay, it's not that bad. ANYway, have a BEAUTIFUL day!!!
-Rachel
Week 8 Blog Requirement
Blog requirement - How do you think being Paris' BFF would change your personality? Would it be a postive or negative change?
I wouldn't say that it would change my personality. Your personality is what makes you you! Hanging out with her my life would be different, but it wouldn't change me. I'm grounded and confident, so yeah. What would change though, haha is just how when friends are together they start to rub off on each other, so Paris and I would pick up on each other's mannerisms, like different things we say and ways we say them. So...I only see positive in the situation. We would support each other, neither one of us trying to change the other's personality. I love Paris for who she is!!!
xoxoxo

A note for you
Hey blog viewer! It's been a fun day, but I'm off to bed, hittin' the sack late because this week it's
dun dun dun...
finals week.
bummer I know ;)
who would have thought that the most crucial time in college would fall during this competition! I've been working my hardest to get up to the top 10 and balance it with my schoolwork and I finally made it to slot 9 today! woo-hoo!!
but I have to balance study time with this so everyone:
Keep those votes comin' in!
help me stay in the top 10 this week!
I appreciate all of you who are voting for me so much!!! Honest competition all the way! Hey my last 2 videos are the best ones to watch! I don't have any professional photos to put up, but hey you get me anyway. =)
-Rachel
p.s. again, i keep doing this lol, I took a pic of the sky today! it was BEAUTIFUL and the picture doesn't do it justice, but I put it up on my profile for all to see! it was one of those it's been raining really hard and the sun bursts out of the clouds through all the new fresh air and it lit up more clouds than I could fit in the picture :)
The songs go on and on my friends...

I laugh. :)
Love you all have a great day today! for me? k.
-Rachel
WEEK 7! Woot woot!!!
Blog requirement - Do you think your current friends would be jealous of your potential friendship with Paris? Why/Why not?
Nope! They wouldn't be jealous. A lot of them aren't keeping up to date with what's going on in L.A. They support me, but they're not really into Hollywood and so they don't get why it would be so awesome to be friends with Paris. crazy yep. but when it comes to me being best friends with her they're all for it!
GAS PUMPING TIPS
My friend gave me these tricks and I wanted to share them with you too! They're to get more of your money's worth for every gallon of gas. She got the info from a woman who has worked in petroleum for 31 years:
Only buy or fill up your car or truck in the early morning when the ground temperature is still cold. Remember that all service stations have their storage tanks buried below ground. The colder the ground the more dense the gasoline, when it gets warmer gasoline expands, so buying in the afternoon or in the evening....your gallon is not exactly a gallon. In the petroleum business, the specific gravity and the temperature of the gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, ethanol and other petroleum products plays an important role.
A 1-degree rise in temperature is a big deal for this business. But the service stations do not have temperature compensation at the pumps.
When you're filling up do not squeeze the trigger of the nozzle to a fast mode. If you look you will see that the trigger has three (3)stages: low, middle, and high. In slow mode you should be pumping on low speed, thereby minimizing the vapors that are created while you are pumping. All hoses at the pump have a vapor return. If you are pumping on the fast rate, some other liquid that goes to your tank becomes vapor. Those vapors are being sucked up and back into the underground storage tank so you're getting less worth for your money.
One of the most important tips is to fill up when your gas tank is HALF FULL or HALF EMPTY. The reason for this is, the more gas you have in your tank the less air occupying its empty space. Gasoline evaporates faster than you can imagine. Gasoline storage tanks have an internal floating roof. This roof serves as zero clearance between the gas and the atmosphere, so it minimizes the evaporation. Unlike service stations, here where I work, every truck that we load is temperature compensated so that every gallon is actually the exact amount.
Another reminder, if there is a gasoline truck pumping into the storage tanks when you stop to buy gas, DO NOT fill up--most likely the gasoline is being stirred up as the gas is being delivered, and you might pick up some of the dirt that normally settles on the bottom. Hope this will help you get the most value for your money.
The video, you ask?
So, some of you have been asking me about the official skydiving video, yes the one I mentioned in that first video you see on my profile page.
First of all, watching a skydive is just a taste of an experience that's simply indescribable! go if you ever get the chance. It's nothing like the thrill of winning a track meet, which, I previously thought was pretty sweet. There's more about that below in "Week 6 Blog Requirement," lol. Since getting the vid last night, I have been working on the technological curve balls it keeps throwing me. It hasn't wanted to cooperate in the uploading process, but I think I have finally figured it out! So look out parisbff.com! It will be up, as promised, A.S.A.P.
Enjoy!
-Rachel
Week 5 Blog Requirement!
I have no significant other right now, so being Paris' BFF would present no problem there ;) Honestly, dating's not my focus, I'm just living life to the fullest and hanging with the people I love. So yeah, being with Paris would neither help nor hinder my finding a guy. Easy enough!
more blogs later--
love you all
*muah*
P.S. I really appreciate those of you who are voting for me! It means a lot! I am voting for you daily
P.S. again...more pictures are coming ASAP, as soon as I figure out how to not cut my head off
Ok one more, lol...For those of you who are keeping up with the rest of my blogs I am finally going skydiving today!!! I am so excited I can't wait! Catch you all when I'm back on the ground--
Loves!
The Official Blog
1) Do I consider myself fabulous?
Absolutely. I am fabulous because I am someone, I am valuable, and I have a lot to share. I mean all of my value is summed up in being myself and it doesn't matter what other people think of me. I'm not like everyone else, and that’s what makes it real. I make the most of every moment and that makes life authentic.
2) I am the perfect BFF because I don’t want to be Paris’ friend just for the fame. I love her for who she is, and I am someone she can trust. I’ve always been there for my friends, and I will be there for her. There’s no question with me. Loyalty is huge. I’m not going to turn around and backstab people. I have always made it a point in my relationships to be the kind of friend that I would want. I have a huge respect for other people. If you vote me onto the show, trust me, you won't be disappointed. I also see Paris and I like my best friend and I when we were little. We were different from each other but that made us all the more closer. That’s what would make us click. We have completely different backgrounds, but we would balance each other out.
3)What similarities do we have?
I’ve lost my best friend too, not completely, but she recently got married and our lives have taken different paths. It’s not like we’re enemies, but our lives don’t let us to spend any time together anymore. Paris and I both are animal lovers. I especially love killer whales and dolphins and when I was younger for a long time I wanted to be a whale trainer at Sea World! The closest I got to that was swimming with a dolphin, and it was an experience I’ll never forget! I love old black and white films. Stick me in front of the T.V. with them and I’ll be content for the entire day. ok not all of them because some are, let’s face it, s-l-o-w, but a lot of them. I’m also into dance, I have created and maintained a dance team here in town and I also spent a season on a semi-pro team! Oh yes, don’t forget Starbucks, I am pretty much a sucker for it anytime ;)
4)How would I deal with the public eye? First of all, the people I’ve grown up with are kind of like the public eye in a way of their own. Haha I’m definitely under their watch. The way I see it, it’s just a way of life, and with things like that I just learn to deal with it and I roll with it. :) I know I haven’t dealt with it to the extent that Paris does, but I know I could handle it.
important info!
Hey all!! I'll be posting a video soon so check back! also I have more blogs they just don't show up unless ya click on "more", but you already knew that. lol later!
NO WAY!!!
I just found out I’m going skydiving this weekend! I am beyond excited! I have never jumped out of a perfectly good airplane before…I’ve been along for the ride to watch them jump out but never had the money to actually skydive myself. I’ll be jumping tandem, which means I’ll be strapped to someone, they told me that the instructor I’m going be strapped to has over 7,000 jumps logged! That’s insane. Wish me luck! I’ll post all the details for you guys once I do it!
And if you're voting for me thank you! I appreciate you!
Why hello!
Hey everyone!!
Thanks for checkin' out my profile! I just now signed up and am really behind on votes, how about helping me catch up?
Let me introduce myself.
*ahem* I’m Rachel, I have a lot of energy and I l-o-v-e to spend time with people. I love running in the rain, dancing, white-water rafting, and doing just about anything random or adventurous! That’s all for now! more later…
Have an awesome day :)
