Hello my dears! As mentioned yesterday, starting today is your chance to WIN £50 Topshop Vouchers! Why a style survey you might ask? Well, if you remember few weeks ago, I mentioned I would love to open a online fashion boutique? I really wants to make it happen this summer so I'm doing marketing research :) So I would really really really appreciate if you could take 2 mins to do my survey? I would be so so grateful :)


If the winner lives outside of UK, then I would gladly purchase her choice of items of up to £50 from the UK topshop.com for her, and then send it via Airmail. Also, Deadline is Monday 1st June.

The Story So Far - A Biography (chapter two)

The Story So Far - A Biography
Chapter Two
So it was 2001 and Chris Evans played a leadrole in the movie Not Another Teen Movie. This movie was directed by Joel Gallen and released on 14th December 2001. Chris's co-stars were Chyler Leigh, Jaime Pressly, Mia Kirshner, Eric Christian Olsen, Deon Richmond and Eric Jungmann. Among others.
(Chris & Chyler Leigh)
Chris played the role of Jake Wyler, a popular jock at John Hughes High School, who takes on a bet from his friend Austin (Eric Christian Olsen) that he can transform the ugly girl Janey (Chyler Leigh) into a prom queen before prom night. Jake's evil sister Catherine (Mia Kirshner) is trying to stop Jake from succeeding just as Priscilla (Jaime Pressly), Jake's cheerleading ex-girlfriend.

The scene we all know and love is the scene where Chris only wears whipped cream, cherry's and a banana. He said about this in an interview:"Yeah, I had to kind of warn my mom and grandma about that scene. They gave me this bag-like thing to wear - it was all I had on in the scene. They told me it would be a closed set, but that's not how it worked out. It was pretty strange to stand there with all those people around."


In 2002 Not Another Teen Movie was nominated three times at the MTV Movie Awards for Best Cameo (Molly Ringwald), Best Kiss and Best Line. The movie was also nominated by the Teen Choice Awards that same year.


(Chris & Jaime Pressly at the Not Another Teen Movie premiere)


Although the movie was a succes it wasn't Chris's big breakthrough. After Not Another Teen Movie Chris played in the television pilots Just Married (2003) and Eastwick (2002).

And in 2004 Chris played the role of Kyle in again a teenmovie The Perfect Score. Co-stars were Erika Christensen (Anna Ross), Bryan Greenberg (Matty Matthews) and Scarlett Johansson (Francesca Curtis). Just a few years later and Chris and Scarlett would meet again in the movie The Nanny Diaries.

The Perfect Score is a story about six high school seniors who are planning to steal the answers to the College SAT exam. With all consequences...
