Line 6:
''Modelland'' <ref>pronounced exactly how it looks</ref> is the first in a planned trilogy of [[Young Adult]] novels written by former supermodel and ''[[America's Next Top Model]]'' host Tyra Banks. Notable in that it's one of the few celebrity book projects that (according to [[Word of God]]) doesn't have a ghost writer involved. It is a cross between ''[[The Hunger Games]]'', ''[[Harry Potter (novel)|Harry Potter]]'', and ''[[America's Next Top Model]]''.
Tookie De La Crème isn't what you would call a conventional beauty: Her forehead is big, her hair is ratty, her body is gawky, and her eyes are [[Mismatched Eyes|two different colors]]. So naturally, she didn't expect to be picked to attend Modelland, an exclusive school on top of the [[World Tree|world mountain]] where the magical Intoxibellas, women who are a cross between a modern day supermodel and a sorcerer, are trained. It's an opportunity that every other girl in the world would kill for, and somehow, she and three other awkward looking girls have ended up there.

Line 19:
* [[Dystopia]]: One where supermodels have become living gods and everything revolves around the fashion and retail industries, no less.
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: The staff of Modelland really don't like actresses. It's especially hilarious if you've ever watched ''Top Model,'' since Tyra frequently makes the girl go through acting challenges, and will mention how acting can be very important to a model, both helping with a modelling career, and giving a model opportunities once a model's very short shelf life is over.
** Also, Tookie keep referring to a being that has a hand for a head as "it" even after she/he is revealed to be human. And the LeGizzards seem to be [[
* [[Fantasy Counterpart Culture]]: Gowdee'an is Spanish; Très Jolie is French; BayJingle is Chinese; Metopia is probably California, or maybe the whole western United States coast, since Shivera is a cold area; TerraBossaNova is Brazil; Chakra is India; Striptown is Las Vegas; Palinian is Alaska; Kwaito is probably an African country; FiveHundred is the southern United States; Canne Del Abra sounds like a stereotypical view of the Middle Eastern countries; NorDenSee seems to be Norway, Sweden, and Denmark rolled into one; Cappuccina is Italy; Pyramidian is Egyptian; TooLip is Holland; Icylann is so obviously Iceland, it's not even funny; MiniPaul might be Japan; Texiococo is Mexico; Oktooberfest is Germany; Didgeridoo is Australia; AngelCity might be Los Angeles; Bou-Big-Tique might be New York; Kremlingrad is Russia.
* [[Eye Scream]]: Tookie's father impaled his eye on a sword during one of his shows when he was an acrobat.
