WEST VANCOUVER model Lisa Barlow leaves this
summer for the bright lights of New York to try out
with the prestigious Eileen Ford modelling agency
there. :

On what she describes as a “rollercoaster tide’*
through the modelling world since starting out about a
year ago, she is off again on the road to the top.

The first assignment for the blond, blue-cyed
Barlow, now, 16, was with the North Shore News,
after which she appeared in various Vancouver maga-
zines.

Joining Barlow in her New York try-out is Tanya
Trory, 14, and agent Charles Stuart calls it a coup for
two B.C. models to try out with the agency.

brushes those suggestions casily aside,

“It's a teaching thing,’ she says. ‘It's better train-
isg than you're going to get if you cruise through high
school — it makes you more mature.”’

Barlow does not think of herself joining the ranks
of top models such as. Elle and Carol Alt; she
describes herseff as “someone who's trying to do a
job.

“Td much rather do this than work in Nuffy‘s
Donuts,"’ she says.
