THE CITIZEN, Prince George - Wednesday, January 22, 1986 - 29 Supermodel glad to be back home TORONTO (CP) - Monika Schnarre, picked a week ago in Los Angeles as “supermodel of the world,” arrived home Monday tired, happy and eager to get her life back to normal. “You don’t know how much I want my bed,” said the six-foot, 135-pound teenager, who beat out entrants from 26 other countries in the contest sponsored by Ford Models Inc. of New York. Schnarre, 14, is hoping to return today with a minimum of fuss to Woburn Collegiate where she is a Grade 9 student with an 86 per cent average. But if the hoopla that surrounded her last week is any indication, it will be difficult for her to be just another student. Her hectic schedule began two weeks ago when she flew to New York for fittings for the contest. Then it was out to Los Angeles for the nationally televised event, back to New York for several 15-hour work days and back to Los Angeles where Vogue magazine photographed her. The brown-haired, blue-eyed beauty returned to New York on a turbulent flight that landed at 1 a.m. Monday morning, before heading out to Toronto to be greeted by hordes of photographers. In the meantime, she appeared on television’s Good Morning America and met legends of the beauty business. In New York she stayed at the home of Eileen Ford, head of one of the world’s largest modelling agencies, and Irving Penn photographed her. Richard Avedon also wants to shoot her for a Vogue cover. New Yorkers may be stereotyped as jaded and cynical, but those who have met the shy, even-tem- Monika poses with friend after returning to her Toronto home pered Canadian are wildly enthusiastic. “That child is just incredible,” said Eileen Hatch, who arranged Schnarre’s schedule since the contest. “She wowed everybody.” None of this is news to Judy Welch, head of a Toronto agency of the same name, who snapped up Schnarre last March when she came looking for a modelling job. “The moment I saw her, I knew I had a superstar on my hands,” she said. “She has a lot of years ahead of her in the business.” Welch, a former Miss Canada, said she spent much of the last 10 months grooming Schnarre for the contest. Schnarre will go to school three weeks out of every month and work the fourth, Welch said. Schnarre’s mother, Pauline, a bookkeeper, will accompany her when possible on out-of-town assignments, as might her sister, Doreen, 17. She also has a brother, Richard, 21. The victory earned Schnarre a three-year contract with Ford worth $250,000 U.S., which isn’t an outright prize but comes from earnings. The young model said she should have no trouble earning that amount on the timetable set out. She also plans to keep up her school activities, including playing trumpet in the school band and being on the basketball and gymnastic teams. She said she isn’t worried that injuries from those activities might affect her modelling. “There’s not much you can do about it if it happens,” she said, adding she hopes to study psychology or medicine eventually.
