In the first frame, a woman applies lipstick to a male contestant, as he checks a mirror; in the 2nd frame, a woman measures the chest of a man, while other contestants stand behind him, and three women judges take notes; in the 3rd frame, a man poses for the camera as his neck is being measured. One woman measures, as two others take notes; and in the 4th frame, a women kneeling on a platform measure's a man's thigh, as a seated woman looks on.
