Why not use our Miss Bermuda’s – which can use this EXPERIENCE on their Resume’s – free to Bda Government… Why does everything have to be MONEY!!
Please tell me you’re not actually serious. Hey! I know. Maybe the photographers and videographers can work for exposure and credit!
I agree with .am NEVER WORK FOR FREE! They have bills to pay and meals to eat too you know. You have to pay the people working even if the job doesn’t make sense to you!
Sounds like a 4th grader put this together
“Robust figured woman between 50-75″

Why don’t we just pay the ministers and their children to model?
We’re trying to ATTRACT tourists to he island, not scare them away.
15 people needed for 2 days at $500 a day. That’s fiteen grand for what a bunch of local kids did in their spare time and put up on YouTube last summer.
Do they have to “look like me”??
They only want “real” Bermudians.
I wonder if Govt is ‘buying bermuda’ or using Fuseidea’s people? I guess we should be glad that local models are going to be featured…
I think this is a GREAT idea! Everyone can use a little extra cash in this economy and using locals for a Bermuda tourism campaign just seems to make sense…Win – Win situation!
Bermuda does have some gorgeous people, can’t wait to see how they do the ad campaign.
I agree, Bermuda has some of the most beautiful people in the world, so happy that at last we’re using them. Think this is great! Hope Berudians take advantage of this, it could take them to their goals in life.
Between numbers 1 and 2 they specifically don’t appear to want attractive females aged 31 – 34.
It’s odd that they would do that, given all the careful thought that obviously went into this.
REALLY?! This is worth $13 Million?! Yes, it will put a little extra cash in Bermudian’s pockets but will it bring people to the island to spend, putting money in more than just the “models” pockets’, probably not. Why not hire an agency that’s already showed commitment to Bermuda and it’s people and has proved their worth? I know one in particular that would run circles around “Fuseideas” and for half the budget.
“female between 20-35 with cliff jumping experience and more” and more?? hmmm
Sounds like it’s worded so they can hire a specific person they already have in mind.
I agree…
How old did you say you were?
“16″
“18 Huh? wellll come right along with me!” lol
thats some dumb line out of an American movie i saw….
Well, A few dollars to be part of some Planned theeng might not be all bad…You can always hope that they get it wrong a lotta times and turns into a full time career …
Little girl age 4-6 huh? Well all the public school students are still in school next week between 11-3. Genius.
