1. Text for the Feature Article Double Page Spread, Page 1As I walked down the brightly lit corridor of the hotel, I approached room that was written down onthe bit of paper I was holding. I knocked carefully and a few seconds later the door opened and I waswelcomed in by a young, well dressed woman, she ushered me in and asked if I wanted anything todrink. I kindly accepted and she walked off, I looked around, it was so tidy and clean, everything hadits own place, nothing like what I had imagined two 19 year old girls to live in. They had defiantlycome along way, I remember seeing pictures of the care home they both lived at when they wereyounger, this room was the size of the whole ground floor, in a way I felt proud. The lady handed mea glass of water and took me down a long lit corridor, I wondered if it always looked like this. Iwalked into a beautifully decorated room and sat down on the chair and set out all of my equipmentready for the girls to come in.I was so worried, I didnt know what they were going to be like; they had a reputation in thebusiness for being mischievous and sometimes difficult, and recently they were dropped from theirlabel and were resigned. A few seconds later I heard giggling from down the hall and the doorsopened, the two girls walked straight over to me. We hugged and they sat down on the sofaopposite me. They both looked different, natural, and more comfortable. I was so used to seeingthem in their skimpy outfits with a tonne of makeup on dancing around the stage, to see them likethis was refreshing. To be honest I didnt know what I expected but it defiantly wasnt this, I wasshocked, but in a good way, was this the real Paige and Daniella? They were sitting on the sofa withtheir dark makeup swapped for non-whats so ever, and their chains and leather jackets swapped forbig boyfriend tops and ripped jeans with big hoodies and beanies. They looked so at home.We sat for a while and we discussed ideas that we had for the shoot, the girls loved my ideas andthey had some great ideas themselves. They were so refreshing, I loved how they were gettinginvolved it made the job more fun for everyone and overall makes the experience much moreexciting. The more I talked to them the more I realised everything that everyone thinks about thesegirls isnt true at all, which got me thinking. This is what I wanted to capture with this shoot andinterview, I wanted to get rid of their bad reputation. I shared my idea with the girls and they lovedit. So we decided to make it about them and their childhood and just bringing out the youth in them,showing everyone who they really are.In this interview I asked the girls all the questions everyone wants to know but nobody will ask. Ifound out whats the deal with changing labels, changing their style and changing peoplesperceptions.
