Pablo Lapiedra's castings

Anyone want to exchange ideas and information?
OK, I finally have the whole story.
When Zuleidy decided to go for silicons, Pablo Lapiedra stopped the Little Lupe franchise that earned her fame in the US. He contacted Colombian "talent hunter" Cristian Cipriani to find a girl to replace Zuleidy. Lapiedra shot some casting footage with girls apparently provided through Cipriani's contacts and where Zuleidy acted as an assistant to Lapiedra. They finally found the girl ("Selina 18") but it looks like she didn't get enough promotion. Lapiedra later started a website with his casting footage from Colombia but it soon went down, possibly because the casting sessions were not staged (unlike most "casting" videos we're used to) and the girls' "Little Lupe look" (schoolgirl uniforms, pigtails, etc.) provided a more or less irritating effect. Interestingly, the Selina's casting was not available at the website.
