yeah thats the first that anyone really knew of Aja, and then wasn't she the one in the limo with some big musician I can't remember who it was now.

Haha yeah with friends the dirt always gets spilled, but a public forum not such a good idea hospo staff like to trade stories LMAO but thats cos they're so used to it. A friend worked at Millenium when Robbie Williams was here and she had a few stories too]]> Mon, 08 Nov 2010 14:24:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36548&PID=1195120&title=maternity-clothing-competition#1195120 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36548&PID=1195025&title=maternity-clothing-competition#1195025 Author: Kazper

LOL that's all I remember her from to.

Haha...i used to work for a hotel in chch, and we'd have celebs (or "celebs") semi-frequently. I never have to sign anything because i have no contact with them but front of house, housekeeping, reception, the guest shop etc have to sign saying they will respect their confidentiality etc etc. Not that they do, housekeeping is always buzzing about what mess they left, or what they left lying around the room.

Kazpar, looks like you're next in line then, if you time it all right you'll be just the right amount of pregnant when the next comp comes around

And i'll always remember Aja Rock as the skanky chick with implants on treasure island (thats seriously all i know her for!) not really a wholesome mother image for a maternity company!]]> Mon, 08 Nov 2010 12:29:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36548&PID=1194999&title=maternity-clothing-competition#1194999 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36548&PID=1194638&title=maternity-clothing-competition#1194638 Author: Kazper

I'm not surprised Aja Rock won. I'm not entirely sure I would want her to be a representative of Egg. She is a bit.... well some of her behaviour can lead alot to be desired.

I'm glad they are putting that clause in next year though]]> Sun, 07 Nov 2010 16:31:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36548&PID=1194415&title=maternity-clothing-competition#1194415 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36548&PID=1194315&title=maternity-clothing-competition#1194315 Author: amme_eilyk

I emailed an enquiry last night to egg and a lovely lady phoned me today.

She said they felt so terrible, because it wasn't until they released the winners that they found out Monique is also a celebrety. She said they will be issueing a public statement regarding this and apologising and that from next year there will be clause stating that no models or celebrities will be able to apply.

I thought that was so lovely for her to phone and say that and to also apologise to all women on behalf of EGG.

So good outcome ladies ]]> Fri, 05 Nov 2010 12:18:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36548&PID=1193165&title=maternity-clothing-competition#1193165 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36548&PID=1193085&title=maternity-clothing-competition#1193085 Author: Kazper

From memory the year before when they ran this competition they picked a 'regular' woman, not someone with acting/modeling experience... guess this year they wanted that 'celeb' factor (though IMO I don't really consider Aja Rock a celeb... not sure how I would describe her though!)

I see in some of their other advertising campaigns they've used Carly Flynn when she was preggers too.]]> Fri, 05 Nov 2010 10:35:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36548&PID=1193072&title=maternity-clothing-competition#1193072 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36548&PID=1193034&title=maternity-clothing-competition#1193034 Author: clover

Yeh its interesting how TWO models/celebs won. When you read the entry thing it says anyone globally could enter and they pride themselves in using REAL women - gee does that mean if you don't look like a model your not normal.

Surley if the comp was global they could find two ordinary and gorgeous every day pregnant women who would be suitable for the comp.]]> Thu, 04 Nov 2010 22:20:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36548&PID=1192863&title=maternity-clothing-competition#1192863 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36548&PID=1192858&title=maternity-clothing-competition#1192858 Author: LouD

Oh Dear!!! Def think its not a fair comp then. If they wanted it to be fair then no one with previous modelling experience should apply

I love those REAL women comps where they do have a few lumps and bumps etc.........those others are just gonna make you feel worse. And To be honest EGG seems to be only targeted towards beautiful women.....

how about run a competition where they make over some typical drabby tired over worked housewife and then run a competition.......that would get my attention!!!]]> Thu, 04 Nov 2010 22:15:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36548&PID=1192858&title=maternity-clothing-competition#1192858 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36548&PID=1192818&title=maternity-clothing-competition#1192818 Author: Kazper
