Is MICHELLE DANDO the Beauty Queen SUSU deserves?

On Friday the candidates for this years SUSU elections were revealed.

One candidate that stood out head and shoulders above the rest was the one, the only, Southampton Beauty Queen and BNOC Michelle Dando!

She is running for Union President, and claims, in her own words, “SHELLY has the WELLY to pull SUSU’s socks up”.

Michelle showing off her qualities…

Amongst her manifesto, the Tab picked out some of Michelle’s promises:

– BAN all lectures before 11am

– Provide personal stylists for ALL students

– Build a MONORAIL to help students up Church Lane

With such a conclusive manifesto which really shows Michelle understands students’ needs, Dando looks to have wowed Southampton, showing she has beauty AND brains.

It has been rumoured that Banksy practically BEGGED Michelle to let him create her campaign photo, such is her fame.

Having been together since November 2012, it remains to be seen if Dando’s relationship with current VP Communications and fellow Presidential candidate David Gilani will be affected.

Early indications show that Michelle has unsurprisingly STORMED into an early lead in the elections, with the most manifesto “likes” on the SUSU elections page.

You can show your support for Michelle’s by liking her Facebook page here, and can follow her on Twitter here!

Hi Beauts! As you probably know, my name’s Michelle Dando and I AM your future SUSU President! Now you’ve clicked on this you won’t need to read any other President manifestos. It doesn’t get any better than this! xoxo

I’m focusing on four key areas which I feel need drastic improvement to make your Uni experience better!

Social Life:

• Shut down the Cube and change it into a beauty parlour to ensure that you are looking your best when going out somewhere actually acceptable.
• Lobby SUSU to pay for a VIP section in Jesters.
• Include my own specially selected beauty packs in Freshers’ and ReFreshers’ packs to help you integrate and socialise more easily (guaranteed to work 60% of the time, every time).
• Speed dating every night of the week. Only hotties allowed!

Academic Help:

• Earliest lectures to start at 11AM – we need beauty sleep, and some people need plenty of time in the morning to do their make-up!
• Ban ugly people from campus – they are so distracting!
• Paint ALL buildings on campus with green glitter – except the maths tower…that can be bulldozed and replaced with a ferris wheel.
• Compulsory module in ‘Life Skills’ for ALL students taught by me, where you can learn how to be a beautiful and altogether better person.
• Replace BA and BSc degrees with the initials ‘MD’ in honour of me!
• Personal stylists for all students.

Facilities:

• Monorail to get you up Chuch Lane.
• Only hot people are allowed in the gym.
• Mirrors in all desks.
• More photobooths in SUSU so you can take photos of yourself any time of the day.
• Install a helicopter pad on top of Hartley to allow for easy London shopping trips!
• Have an array of aftershave and perfume avaliable in all bathrooms so everyone can smell beautiful at ALL times!
• Change the old Q-Burger hatch at Glen Eyre into a Kissing Booth (sorry guys, I won’t be avaliable all the time!)

Changing YOUR union for the better:

• Introduce a waitress service in the Cafe.
• Makeover the Union Shop Hollister-style – i.e low level lighting at all times, topless male models, hot preppy girls and the odd pot plant, thus providing a much more classy retail experience for students when buying their milk and ready meals.
• Create a Uni Of Southampton emblazoned prom dress, available to purchase for Grad Ball.
• Staff uniform changes to make them all wear ball gowns, preferably from Brides of Southampton.
• Statue of my wonderful self in the middle of the concourse for daily student inspiration.
• Improved Uni-Link buses – my face on the front and my rear so you can peer on the back!
• Add a VP Hair and Nails to ensure your needs are better met.

Why ME?! 

If my manifesto points haven’t already convinced you, my personality will! I’m beautiful, amazing and wonderful! I’m known throughout the University, and have many influential links – Arlene Phillips is my second cousin’s wife’s best friend, and my brother’s best friend’s brother almost appeared on Take Me Out last year

If you’d like to ask me anything, just send me a Facebook message or tweet me – I’m always looking to expand my connections! 😉 xoxo
