Could you be a model for Me? If you’re a real woman with a real passion for style, fashion, the latest beauty trends – and shopping to dropping, of course – then certainly you could!

We want girls and women of all ages, shapes and sizes to help us showcase the best Carlisle and north Cumbria has to offer.

If you love clothes, accessories, cosmetics, grooming, pampering – in fact if you simply love being a woman – we want to hear from you.

Why would we resort to using professional models when our local ladies can knock them all into a cocked catwalk hat?

Send us your details, with a recent photo please, and let us do the rest. Very soon you could be modelling the latest styles and looking a million dollars.

Send to: Me Models, Cumberland News, Newspaper House, Dalston Road, Carlisle, CA2 5UA. Alternatively email your details and a photo to Anne Pickles here.

Our fashion models here are:

Louise Renucci, 17, of Sandsfield Park, Carlisle, a health and social care apprentice at a Carlisle care home.

The shoot was the first time she’d had her makeup done professionally - she told ME her day with the team was great fun and good experience for the modelling career she hopes to launch.

Asha Mistry, 23, of Thursby, has just started out on a career in retail at House of Fraser.

She’s pleased to be back home in Cumbria after finishing university and swapping her office job in Preston for a new direction at the English Street store.

Asha said she really enjoyed her day with the ME team and modelling is something she’d been hoping to try. Asha was a natural with her big smile.

Amy Simpson, 18, of Hethersgill, is a student at Cumbria University and works part-time in Carlisle’s Cassa bar.

A former pupil of Trinity School, Amy loves fashion, beauty and was a pro on the ME shoot with her confidence and sense of fun.
