Sally misses a title - but turns out a model pupil


by Tony Cliff


C L ITH E R O E schoolgir l Sally Eaton is being taken on by th e to p model agency Elite, although she did not ta k e one of th e to p th re e places in the agency’s presti­


gious competition. Sally, a 15-year-old student at


Clitheroe Royal Grammar School, made the final 14 selected for the 1996 Elite Model Look competi­ tion out of thousands of girls from all over the country. After the competition, Sally


said: “Sally was not at all disap­ pointed. Only Sally and one other girl were new to modelling. The other contestants had been work­ ing professionally for a number of years. It was a wonderful experi­ ence and she had a great time, but she is very down to earth and she likes the outdoor life, so she was glad to get out of the cities.” Mrs Eaton said her daughter had


day. Her mother, Mrs Jenny Eaton,


briefly returned to her home in Whitewell Road, Cow Ark, before setting off on a watersports holi­


not been looking for the life of a super model. She had now seen something of how the business worked and she had had the fun and excitement of the trip to Dis­


neyland Paris. The scale of Sally’s achievement


modelling some time, if she can fit


had surprised her mother. Mrs Eaton said: “I was amazed. The London show was far more presti­ gious than I had expected and even I recognised some of the stars attending. It was such a big show that I would never have had the nerve to face the catwalk but Sally was great and she looked beauti­ ful. “Now she is getting on with her


life with a holiday and then it will be on with GCSEs and A levels. She wants to go on to university. As for modelling, she has seen how it works and she might do some


it in to her life.” The news that the Elite Model


Agency wanted to take her on to its books arrived while Sally was still on holiday but her mother is confident she will be able to fit any work which might come up into her life. One piece of modelling history


which will not have escaped Sally is that her own favourite model, the international star Karen Mul­ der, was also a finalist in this com­ petition some years ago and was also unplaced. This does not seem to have done any harm to her career.
