Maddy Relph, 17, Adelaide
Maddy uses her looks to scab free McDonalds and once back-and-forthed on Myspace with a 50-year-old creep. So young for one so wise. Here's how she handled my probing interview.
Have you ever used your looks to manipulate a man?
Not really. I’ve had a boyfriend for three years. I get some free food here and there, McDonalds and stuff. My friend and I chat away with them and they give us a sundae or an apple pie for free.
Does being attractive have its downside?
People judge you without getting to know you. You get classified as an up-yourself bitch. My mum says that I am more insecure about myself than my friends because I get judged a lot more.
I noticed on your Little Weeds profile that you’re a fan of Twilight. It was a surprise, to be honest. I mean, the plot is barely believable. A girl falling in love with a vampire – it’s as though it’s been written for a 16 year old. But you, you’re 17.
Every girl can have their fantasies, can’t they? Edwards (the vampire) and Jacobs are hell attractive. They made a movie of it too.
Are MGMT the best band ever?
No, I listen to everything. My friends are into the digggeda diggeda diggeda shit.
“Diggeda?” What is that, country music?
No, dance music. I listen to my boyfriend’s stuff, which is more laid back, as well as some hip-hop stuff. Static Silhouette is the best band though because my friend from primary school is in it.
What do you think about the obesity epidemic and fat people?
I haven’t noticed it that much. I’ve seen more anorexia. We had three anorexic girls at my school. You don’t see that many obese people in Adelaide.
Have you ever ingested a white MTV, red Mitsubishi or other brand of ecstasy?
I don’t know any of those. I’m 100% against drugs.
You’re not concerned with missing out on one of life’s rites, the rite of experimentation?
People can die from one experiment. I have no need for pills or marijuana. My mum is a cigarette smoker, which I’m against. I hide her lighters.
How many times a day do you check Facebook?
Once a day, but more lately. I was a Myspace fan but no one is on it anymore. I had to change ‘cause no one used it. I prefer Myspace because I can put a bit of my craziness in there.
How many friends do you have on Facebook?
327.
How many of those friends are men above the age of 25 who you don’t actually know?
I don’t think I have any older guys. I don’t add the creepy paedophiles. I had one add me on Myspace who was over 50 and would send me messages. That was fun.
What is your policy on accepting friends on Facebook?
I check if they are friends with someone I am close to. I ask them if they are all right, then I will add them.
You’re starving and the only option is fast food or nothing at all, what do you do?
Fast food, of course.
There is a perception that all models are stupid. Are you stupid?
Are you saying I’m stupid? I’m in the top maths class and got a 106% in a test. Does that mean I’m stupid?
106%?
There were bonus questions.
Can you prove your intelligence somehow – like maybe you can tell me what you think about the failure of Muslims to integrate into Australian society?
Words and writing I’m not good with. I can’t spell for shit, I ask my friends how to spell orange. From that perspective I’m a bit retarded.
Can you describe yourself as you think you appear to other people?
I’m a laid -back surfy chick. Some crazy, down-to-earth natural person who speaks their mind. - Jed Smith
