The real story behind the mystery model at Singapore Import
Nights 2009 who showed more than she was supposed to has finally
surfaced.
The model, known as Sunshine Tracy, created a stir when photos of
her posing sexily in a short dress at the car show were published
on STOMP.
STOMP received the photos via email, but did not publish the photos
that were more explicit.
Now, a friend of the model, known as Alex, said that she was not at
the car show to model, but just to meet him. He said:
"That day, Tracy and I had arranged to meet at SIN2009. My main
purpose there was to support my other friends, who were
participating as SIN models, and also as contestants for this grand
event.
"Being a property agent, I had to attend to my clients, even with
last minute calls. There was a last minute arrangement by my
clients that day, causing me to be late for nearly two hours in
meeting Tracy..
"After rushing down to Expo, I called her twice on her phone, but
she was unreachable. After entering the SIN2009 exhibition, I
searched around, but was still unable to find her. All of a sudden,
I saw a group of 40 to 50 photographers surrounding one of the
cars.
"Out of curiosity, I went to investigate and was totally amazed to
see Tracy posing for the photographers.
"With her posing and getting up on a display car, I assumed she
might have gotten herself employed. The photo session lasted only
for a short period, and all of a sudden, Tracy was seen escorted to
a safe place by SIN2009 organisers.
"I went to look for Tracy and managed to find out the real
story.
"From the short chat with Tracy, I discovered that:
"She was not employed by SIN2009 to work as model for the
event.
"She started posing for one photographer only but did not realise
that her pose would attract so many unknown photographers.
"Knowing Tracy after 18 years of friendship, I know she's a
freelance model who is willing to take normal outdoor/indoor photos
and would NOT accept any lingerie photoshoot.
"After talking to Tracy, I realised that she wasn't prepared and
was only expecting to just enjoy herself at this event browsing
around and admiring nice cars with me.
"She was approached by one photographer for a single photoshoot,
but was surprised to find herself swarmed by a group of unknown
photographers.
"Those photographers were too overwhelming and totally surrounded
her with no room for escape. Being a kind-at-heart girl, she showed
her professionalism by posing for the cameras.
"Tracy did not realise the difference between photographers with
integrity and those without.
"I would like to apologise for being late for the event. If it
weren't for this, Tracy would not have wandered around aimlessly
all alone.
"I personally feel that her dressing is not appropriate for the
daring moves/pose done at SIN2009. Tracy has too told me that she
admitted it's her mistake and deeply regretted her actions.
"Though I feel that part of this commotion originates with Tracy's
dressing and inexperience in car show photo taking, I do believe
that those shameless, low integrity photographers has indirectly
caused a lot of inconvenience to other people's lives which has
caused Tracy to have personal issues now."
