My name is Emine and I'm a journalist for a national newspaper in the UK - Lynn kindly said I could post here. I'm doing a piece about adults in braces and how orthodontic treatment is becoming ever more popular, and I am looking for people (based in the UK) who would be prepared to have portraits taken of them. I would also do a short interview.
I'd be happy to give more information to anyone who is interested in taking part. You can email me at emine1@hotmail.com or call me on 07709 483816.
I was kinda hoping it was the Sun, because then I could have my head Photoshopped onto the body of some gorgeous toned 20 year old, and appear on page 3
I personally don't wish to "go public" but I'd be interested to hear if anybody else has got in touch with this person, and what the setup is.
I think it could be fun - certainly one for the scrapbook album!
Will they do your hair before the photoshoot is what I'm wondering! My hair would rival Medusa's :p
Why is it a hotmail account instead of an official work account that we have to email? Nowadays you have to think about the legitimacy of people trying to contact you through the internet.
I agree with steadfast, why is it a hotmail account and not a work account? If i am contacting people for a wrok related-issue, i use my work email as it is more official, i wouldn't want them to email me on a personal email as it is not very professional. It has crossed my mind if this person is after portrait photos of people in braces for another reason...forgive me if i am wrong but you can't be too careful on the internet and there is no evidence to say that this person is legit.
Thanks for clarifying that she is legit Lynne, i feel less uneasy now Still don't think i could share my metal mouth with the rest of the UK though! I wish her luck in finding some brave Archwirer's!
I have had an email back from Emine and the email address was The Guardian newspaper. I have also found articles written by Emine on the net. Sounds legitimate to me.

He may want a celeb on his website!!!! At least I'm not waiting for the The Sun to ring me up and do a Page 3 spread , eh Lisa??!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
