I hope a cross-post is OK... Dal House Forum folks were invited to enter one of their Dals in an unofficial "Miss Dal" competition. Penny's representing the PTFCo gang, and Natalie helped her out.
Natalie: Hello everyone! This is Natalie L'Engle reporting for the PrettyTiny Film Company on location. Today I'm interviewing Miss Penny Pesca, who's vying for the title of Miss Dal. Hello, Penny, welcome!
Penny: Thank you very much.
First of all, tell us a bit about yourself.
Well, I can't tell you a lot about my past... Someone who likes fish helped me get here... I understand I came from a place called Groove, but I don't really remember it. I'm told that's fairly common, that sometimes we don't really wake up to our lives till we find our homes. But, well, I'm a mermaid... I'm a little shy... umm...
Why do you want to be Miss Dal?
My friends encouraged me to try. They all said minis needed some representation. I agree.
Tell us about your hobbies?
I like swimming. And sitting on the beach. And art. I'm thinking about taking up painting. Watercolours, of course. And I'm just starting a modelling career so that's exciting. I like to visit with my friends.
Who's your best friend?
I have a lot of friends at PrettyTiny modelling studio. They're all a lot of fun. Janice and I came together, so we have that in common. And Roxann came with us, but she's not a Dal...
What things do you dislike?
Loud noises. Very dry places. I like talking to little dolphins and seals but whales kind of scare me. They're so big.
What's your favourite food?
Scallops. ...I know... it seems like a bit of a conflict maybe, but... (shrugs)
Some people say Dals are too pouty. How would you respond to that?
Well, I can't answer for anyone else. I think some people pout because they're scared of being small in a big world, and pouting makes you look tougher and less scared. I don't know what things are going on in people's lives that make them pout. I think that's why we should all try to be better friends to each other. You know, see if people need help with anything, even if they haven't asked. Because maybe if they felt like they weren't all alone with whatever's making them pout, then they might pout a little less.
If you could do one thing to make the world a better place, what would it be?
Well... given my heritage, it would have to be that I would clean up the ocean. There's so much garbage in it. That makes it not much fun to swim in. And it's dangerous for little beings like me. So I would clean it all up, because if everyone cared about keeping the sea clean, then maybe they'd care about keeping the rest of the world clean too. I think that would make them happy.
Who do you admire?
I think my friend Sunsette LaVoile is very admirable. I mean, she's fearless. She'll take on any challenge without even blinking. She's had a lot of adventures and is always hoping for more. She's all about being fabulous and enjoying life. You know, she started the PrettyTiny Film Company all on her own, and then let all the rest of us join. She says it doesn't matter how small you are, it's what's inside you that's important, and that no matter how tiny you are, you can still shine. You can still be fabulous and make people notice you. I think that's very inspiring.
What's the first thing you would do if you became Miss Dal?
I would declare International Dal Appreciation Day. There would be ice cream. And cake.
Sounds like fun. Thank you for talking to us today, and good luck with your aspirations for Miss Dal.
Thank you very much.
Um, Penny...? You know it's not really an official contest, right...?
