Just tell her that your really not into those kind of things and she should put someone else's name down that would really enjoy it but thanks anyway. If you say it like that there is no way she can be offended.

The question is, why would someone take the trouble of giving people a makeover and a photo shoot for nothing? there is something not quite right about this, i would just say you have a gut feeling this is not genuine, the next thing would be "oh erm just slip into a bikini, then the underware, oh just drop the straps, oh just take your top off, sweet, don't go there.

What's the big deal? Go. What's the problem? There is no harm in a free makeover and photo shoot. Just more self-esteem will come your way.

Nothing is for free - are you crazy?
They will almost certainly make you pay for something. They will do all this free stuff for you so that you will feel too bad to say no when they try to sell you something. It's a classic sales strategy, and you'd be walking right into it!
Given your difficulty in saying no to your friend I reckon they'll make a tidy profit on you!
Have you thought that maybe your friend wasn't doing this as a favour? Like she didn't want to pay for anything, but she couldn't just go without giving them something, so instead she gave them your number instead?
As for your friend just so "no thanks" - simple answer & no reason to take offense. If she says "why not", you say "I don't want it & neither do I want to travel to London".
Who's life are you living anyway? Your own or your friend's? Please show some individuality!!!!

I'm guessing that she's the type to either get easily offended, or you hate saying no. Either way, if you really don't want to go, just be honest. Say "I'm sorry, but I really don't want to go. It's not my thing at all." If you offend her. Let her cool down a couple days, call her and say "Sorry that upset you... let's go get some coffee." It will boil over. Not like you're skipping out on her wedding.

I had that done when I won it from the local paper! Although I didn't really want to go I enjoyed it in the end! They will try to sell you the photos afterwards but that's not a problem, do what I did and say that the camera does lie and that can't be you!

Just tell her the truth- your pretty already and she was the one that needed the help not you!
That would make me lesbian and im not, but yeah just tell her she wont be offended and if she is shes pathetic and isnt a true mate.
Otherwise you could just lock yourself away from her and avoid her phone calls then she'll get the message.

Listen, just be perfectly honest with her - she will not be offended. Say you are a bit nervous about it or something but tell her you appreciate that she thought of you in the first place.

Talk to your friend about how you feel about the photo shoot.
Honesty is the best policy and she will think alot more of you if your honest.
