✣CALLIOPE LASTIS
Age; twenty-two
Hometown; Athens
Known As; The Poor Little Pretty Girl
Her name means “most beautiful”, and lets be honest, she is. But unlike the rest of the girls, she was never rich or anything close to famous. She was born and raised on the outskirts of Athens, the only true Greek girl on the show. Her family was lower middle class, and if her parents were in-between jobs it was hard to get by. But she’s a pretty smart girl, so she went to uni and got a degree in business. And just as she graduated and was trying to find her place in the world, a flyer for “Muses and Mortals” caught her eye. Now she’s earning more money than she ever could have imagined, and it’s just a matter of whether or not she’ll be able to figure out this new fast-paced life before it eats her up completely.

Growing up, my family never had a lot of money. I learned to get by on just enough. I was never pampered with the finer things in life, and although I admired from afar, I took what I needed and nothing more.
 
One of my greatest passions was school. I loved learning -- it was something everyone could do, no matter how much money their parents had in the bank. Ever since that first day in Year 1 when I learned that 1+1=2, all my money was saved to go to school after my primary and secondary education. Getting accepted into Athens University of Economics and Business was by far the best day of my life.
 
During college, I studied business. But I learned much more than that. My social skills developed very quickly at AU of E&B. I was a bit shy at first, but when a boy named Gregg asked me out and I said yes, it was a start of a new life for me. For once, I had friends who didn't care that my parents weren't rich. I had a boyfriend who liked me for me. At least, I thought.
 
Turns out, Gregg just wanted to get in my pants. He had been with me for my beauty the whole time. And unfortunately, I found that out /after/ I lost my virginity to him. I'm single now, haven't been with any other boys since.
 
Graduation day seemed so surreal. After being at AU of E&B for four years, it felt so odd to leave. And the diploma - it felt like a dream in my hand. I never thought I'd make it this far.
 
After graduation came the problems. No place I applied to would take me, as right afterwards an older or more experienced person would apply for the same position and knock me out of the running. I had basically lost all my hope. And then I saw the Muses & Mortals flyer, and applied. And for the first time, I was accepted.

I wasn't sure whether or not I should include the lantern as a part of the outfit, but if I should, the total becomes $413.07, since the lantern costs $8.07.

Hope you all had a wonderful 2009! 2010 is going to be a huge year for me - not only am I going all summer to my sleepaway camp for the first time, but I'm also starting HIGH SCHOOL. I'm so nervous, yet ready. 2010, here I come!

One of my greatest fears is being shameless and just being myself. My New Years Resolution is to be more comfortable with who I am and showing that to the world.
