Angry and competitive

The girls filed backstage again. Lauren stomped back, growling to herself. She was embarrassed, furious, and more competitive than ever. She was in last place, which her pride would not accept. She was going to win! It didn't matter if her legs were shorter or thicker. She was THE most beautiful woman here, SHE knew it, and she was determined to prove it! Nobody laughed at Lauren!

They moved backstage, where Lauren saw assistants handing something out to all the girls. One approached and threw something to Lauren. She caught it and held it out, confused. It was another bikini?

"What is this for?" Lauren asked.

"It's your bikini." The woman explained.

"But I'm already wearing my bikini!" Lauren pointed out. It was a designer bikini, double layered to keep her nice and tight, and fully padded up top. It had cost her three hundred dollars and was the nicest bikini here!

"Oh, you're not modelling your own bikini." The woman explained. "You're modelling the same bikini as everyone else, our sponsor's bikini. That way, every girl is equal, and nobody can win with the fanciest bikini."

That had been exactly Lauren's plan. She looked around. The other's were casually stripping naked and putting on their new garment. But Lauren had a problem. She couldn't get naked without risking showing everything! But she had to win!
