After seeing an ad in a copy of 10,000 magazine (an ad that is not in the actual 10,000 magazine) she calls 1-800-NEW-FUNK hoping to find a guy at the other end of the line. Instead she is connected with the NPG Operator ([[Rain Ivana]]). After paying $19.99 her computer gets access to a series of videos through to boost her self confidence. After spending an hour watching these videos, she eventually realizes she is ‘The Most Beautiful Girl In The World’. | | Introduction = '''The Beautiful Experience''' is a 1994 tv special that features concert footage, music videos and segues that loosely tell the story of a girl called Jan ([[Nona Gaye]]) who sits home alone and questions her self confidence.
