Double vision of fame and glamour
If you're an identical twin, then this is the competition for you. An American production company is coming to town in January to cast a pageant-like TV event called Body Doubles: The Ultimate Twins Contest. Basically, it's an international contest to find the most fantastic twins in the world. Talk about double your pleasure, double your fun.
Organiser Debbi Ganz (on the left with twin Lisa) wants this contest to have a decidedly international flavour. 'It's not a worldwide contest if we don't have Hong Kong and Chinese twins, so we're going all over the world. It's similar to a beauty pageant but it is not a beauty pageant.'
The search is on for female twins between the ages of 18 and 35, and in great shape. There's no height requirement. The ultimate winner will take away prizes, contracts and a cash award. Ganz says there will be 20 sets of twins in the final, which will be produced as a TV event next May in Las Vegas. Those who are selected will be flown to the States.
