Re: Time to Get a New Stephanie?

Thought I might as well share some more of my...ummm..research on those Vice Stephanies (official ones only).
Only two of them realy grabbed my attention, , and my southern-facial theory was build on them.

Antonía:

Icelandic girl with Spanish background, danced in Lazytown love shows, but not much, had "greatest time of my life" (her quote) while filming in LT Extra. Apparently, this experience triggered her creative side, as she started picturing everything that moves with her dslr, even become sorta famous for that, as people started to recognise her on the street, calling by name and all that stuff. Probably it is not too hard to get known in the country with population of a small European town.Later she managed to turn her hobby into a small-time profit. Now she is all grown up, pursuing career of makeup stylist and photographer. Working in for some magazine, but I'm not sure if it's full-time or freelance. Has a cat and a younger brother. Likes heavy and alternative music.

Jasmín

Another Icelandic stelpa with probable Persian (Iran) roots. Probable, because not everyone likes to talk to cWeepy stWangers, and I assume i am pretty ...well, both. So you have to look for bits and pieces by yourself. Her business with LT was short, but quite spectacular, she went to auditions by herself, managed to get all the way up to the finals (unlike Antonía, who got the job because she knew someone, who knows someone), but Unnur took all the glory, probably due to her age, as being on stage is not the same as being on filming set, where everything is under control. Yet she still got quite a part in a 2010 concert, mostly dancing, but also got to sing "Wake Up!" song. I'd say she would be perfect for the live Icelandic Stephanie now, but looks like she did not audition again, or maybe she did not want to compete with Melkorka, because they are friends. Anyway, she got exiting life on her own, like modeling, dancing (she is a hardcore ballerina), filming in commercials and just short movies, singing in church choir, although it doesn't look like she is a believer, just exersicing ner vioce, you know, nothing personal. She is, or al least was a belieber, though...if you know what that means. Not too criminal when you are 12-14 years old, but maybe she has outgrown that now. I mean, I liked Britney Spears when I was a teen. Yeah, hard to beleive now.

Ok, enough, I think. If you were entertaned - thanks! If you were like "WTF did I just read?", still thanks for your time!

Re: Time to Get a New Stephanie?

Sounds a lot like chuft's theory. Southeastern european ancestry, golden ratio, etc.

So, I am not the smartest one, eh? Oh well.
Someone needs to pass this theory to those responsible for casting, that the next actress should be half-mexican, or something.

Re: Time to Get a New Stephanie?

Good luck to her I say.

The only Steph that has made me suspend belief and think that hair can naturally be pink is JRM. Even with the eyebrows I never thought "what a clunky wig", I have with everyone else, probably just a first impressions imprinting thing.

[SportaKandy]

Re: Time to Get a New Stephanie?

And it's another proof of my theory, that Stephanie wig looks good only on chicks with southern-middle east roots...

Sounds a lot like chuft's theory. Southeastern european ancestry, golden ratio, etc. Not sure this girl is cute enough to be Steph. Attractive sure, but in a modeling or acne cream kinda way.

Re: Time to Get a New Stephanie?

The big question now is will the Steph wig accept her or deny her :)

I'd say it fits her quite well, definitely better then Unnur. And it's another proof of my theory, that Stephanie wig looks good only on chicks with southern-middle east roots, well, like Julianna, as she is Italian by her fathers line. Before I thought that it is facial symmetry that makes Juli so perfect, now I beleive that it's her heritage tree. And a facial symmetry, yeah, but more like a huge bonus.

The dress is too long.
A poster for casting. Probably first time all three of them are on the same picture, at least officially.

Re: Time to Get a New Stephanie?

She seems nice. How odd though to upload a video with bells in the background, you'd have thought they could've waited a few minutes!

what you hear in the background is the church of Stephanie ;)...regarding her look I can't believe she's a native btw...seems her father comes from abroad...unfortunately I couldn't find a picture of him

Time to Get a New Stephanie?

Awww I was really hoping that Unnur would come back... oh well. The new girls seems nice, though it's always best to see them in the wig.

On a side note, Runar Freyr Gislason, the director, is the guy that played Pixel in Glanni Glaepur i Latabae, Jol i Latabae, and I'm pretty sure he continues the role in the Icelandic dub through at least season 1.
