ps ahora cuelgo un par de preguntas más relacionadas con el mismo párrafo.

Our newest photo contest has begun, and this time, we want you to see some glitz and glamour! So ladies, coif your hair in that patented Amy Winehouse Bee-Hive, while gents, dress to the nines, in suave, 007 tuxedos, and send us a shot of you doing your best to imitate a famous British celebrity! With so many shining stars hailing from the UK, the possibilities are endless: You can rock a retro Beatles look or strut around in oversized sunglasses complete with designer purse (and famous footballer hubby) as you give us your ‘Posh-est’ pose. The contestant whose picture best embodies their chosen celebrity will receive two 4-day BritRail Flexi Passes in first class!
