I was originally writing a blog post titled: “How 2000s Time
Management Games Gave Me Work Ethic,” but as I was scrolling through my emails
looking for when I got hired at Jersey Mikes, I found something a little more
interesting. When I was a child (2014; 10 years old to 2017; 13 years old) I
was obsessed with Littlest Pet Shop (LPS is the community acronym). I made
music videos, detailed worlds, practically designer outfits, Emmy winning soap
operas, and NTM submissions. In case you are uneducated in the acronym 'NTM', it
stands for Next Top Model. While my music videos and screenplays have been lost
to time (I got a new IPad), I found my email submissions to LPS creators on
YouTube to join their NTM contests. Spoiler alert… no one ever replied.
Theme: no idea what theme was
To Loverforeverlps, June 20th, 2014: “Hi!! I saw
that u are a doing an Ntm and i was wondering if i can squeeze in? Please reply

Theme: Easter
April 19th, 2014: “Hey!!!, Here is the pic. for the Easter
Theme!!!! Btw I might send you a different one tomorrow (on Easter tomorrow) so
don’t do that one just yet!!! Thanks!!!!"
April 27th, 2014:
“Ok!!!! Here we go again with picture sending. So yeah here
is the picture tell me if you get it!!!”
notes: Much improved I will say. Not sure why she never
responded?
Next theme: Colors
To LPS Sarah, August 3rd, 2014: “Here is My
picture! For My color (Purple) it is attached to this E-Mail tell me if you get
it!”
Followed up with my submission to the same girl for the
theme: Nature
To LPS Sarah, August 9th, 2014: “Hi! I am giving
u My nature picture Btw i sent u My colores picture but anyway tell me if you
get it…"
Followed up August 10th, 2014: “did you get my nature
picture.”
notes: No response, ever. This one was pretty good.
Theme: i think Christmas?
January 25th, 2015
notes: subtle name switch for the YouTube at this time
This for the theme: Future
To kathylpsgirlntm, August 14, 2017:
notes: Personally, I find this to be cutting edge and extremely futuristic
Professional Note: always add your name to edited photos in case of plagiarism
BONUS
Random edited photos of LPS I sent to my babysitter May 21,
2014.
notes: this photo was submitted 3 times to 3 different ntm
contests
And finally, an email asking for an LPS trade.
April 19, 2014: “Hey!!, I want to trade for a fluffy bunny
(optional because it is really fluffy but I don’t know if it will work though
but just asking) and a short haired cat and I am sending you a pic. Of what
they look like above this letter or below this letter I forgot so yeah Email me
back like when you made your decision and btw I want the dauchsaund that is
skinny and has dogs on her ears. Thanks for your time!!!! P.S if you want me to
wash them I will.”
Hope you guys got know me a little more! Thanks for letting me provide my portfolio and if you have any LPS NTM contests to enter, please let me know!!
