Brittany McKey Sullivan

McKey n Tyra

WON!!!!......

Yes....Tyra Bank has officially announced that McKey is the winner of ANTM cycle 11. Congratulations McKey....So, d-rumour bout Analeigh winning d-competition was absolutely wrong. Hehehehe..

do I look like Linda Evangelista?

B4 that, McKey n Samantha were the final 2 while Analeigh was sent home during d-top 3. So, wut do u guys think bout McKey's winning? She's not really my fav, but in a way, she did looks like a working-supermodel. Tyra even compared her to a supermodel Linda Evangelista.

Anyway, u were rite Faridin....

Oh yah, if u think d-pic above where Tyra n Mckey were photographed 2gether, well....u'r wrong as both of 'em were photographed separately n d-photoshop guru had put Tyra's pic into McKey's. See pic below....ermmm, that's wut I think la...hehehe

Yes....I kicked all d-gal's ass

Btw, who outshine who? McKey or Tyra?

Elina a former top model from ANTM cycle 11

Wow…I’m so happy knowing that Elina’s modeling career has just begun. She did Tarina Tarantino’s ad campaign. She looked so drop-dead GORGEOUS.

Those who has no idea who d-hell Tarina Tarantino is, well, just go to d-company website http://www.tarinatarantino.com/. For starter, Tarantino was a model then tired of starving herself for d-sake of being a "skinny model", she decided to do wut she had always wanted to do. I dunno, wut's her passion...hehehe. She mentioned on d-sites that she did all d-hair-pin n all that stuff whn she attended a runway-show n all d-models were kinda liked that stuff n some of them even started to buy them from her. That's how she started up her business n decided to work behind d-scene.

Recently, Supermodel Heidi Klum was spotted wearing a Barbie Heart Locket Necklace by Tarina Tarantino. If ur huge fan of ANTM cycle 11, Tarina appeared in one of d-episode of d-ANTM cycle 11.

Anyway, I suppose all these pics were taken after they filming d-ANTM cycle 11 or after she’s eliminated in episode 11. Let c all her ad-campaign pics.

1st shot of Elina

2nd shot - she looked so gorgeous

3rd shot - she nailed it

4th - holding d-bag with her pouty-lipped mouth

Barbie looks

And I also found another stunning pics of her, but I just put in 2 pics. Have a look

This pose with ponytail made her looks like Lara Croft

Dun get confuse with her hair. Underneath her body was a carpet or stg.

ANTM cycle 11 - episode 11 (Elina's out)

Now, 4 potential so-called America's next top model still in d-running towards becoming ANTM cycle 11. We've seen how Elina was sent home due to her holding-back issue n also not allowing herself to loosen up.

All I can say, at this very stage, everyone must do stg outstanding to shine thru. I kinda disappointed whn Elina was kicked out. She's my fav after Analeigh.

One thing that both of them hv in common is, they have an unconventional beauty. To me, Elina has a mysterious unconventional-beauty looks whereas Analeigh has d-down 2-earth unconventional-beauty. If u hv been following d-series, I mean d-cycle 11, u must agreed that Elina has a very sharp feature. Even Tyra always pointed out that if she hadn't changed her hairdo (for d-sake of that show), she wud have been compared to look like Angelina Jolie.

Anyway, Elina's out edi n it seems like d-rumour that Analeigh is going to be a winner of ANTM cycle 11 is getting close. She has shown an improvement, huge improvement. In fact, I found lotsa pics of her (after d-show, I believe) circulate around d-net. Those pics were really2x up to d-supermodel standard. Honestly, it wud hv come as no surprise if she were d-winner. She's started off as a naive gal-next door which didn't really know how to pose or how to connect with d-camera. Whereas, Elina started off with quite strong pictures and amazed d-judges with her strong looks. Sometimes, u can't tell wthr this or that gal can go further or not only by watching d-first 3 episodes. Well, people can change n evolve creatively ...hmmm..so they say.

These are some of Analeigh's pics

very fresh

like a broken Barbie-doll, very nice

nice leg

Another 3 young gals left are, Marjorie, Samantha n McKey. During d Goo-See challenge, McKey cud hv won d-challenge since all d-go-see she went to, she got d-jobs, but she was disQualified as she arrived 5 minutes late after completing d-task. Too bad huh?...And d-challenge winner went to Analeigh where she received a garment from each of d-designer she went to as a reward n all d-prize cost USD 18,ooo.

And 4 photoshooot wise, well, it's kinda hard to point out who did better or who didn't deliver as each one of them nailed at d-photoshoot. There were 2 photoshoots where they had to wear nothing but a very casual outfit (no make up at all) 4 d-1st shoot and glamorous make-up 4 d-2nd shoot. However, they still (judges) need to eliminate one of them n point out any minor flaws. For Samantha n McKey, there were no big issues for both of them, in fact, d-judges praise their pictures as it turned out so gorgeous. Samantha was called out 1st n followed by McKey. Then Analeigh was called out n left 2 gal as a bottom 2 which was Marjorie n Elina.

Marjorie's nerves is started to kill her chances. In fact, during go-c, she only managed to go to 2 designer's boutique n wut worse, she didn't even get d-job mainly due to her nerves. At d-1st shoot, she didn't deliver well but bounced back at d-glamorous shoot. The only prob that arose among d-judges was, whther she cud be as fierce as Marjorie in d-pic n bring it into Marjorie in person or not. And d-judges tot she shud be given 2nd chance.

4 gals remain, n WHO will be d-next America's Next top Model?....

Supermodel - Maria Carla Boscono

I've been following Maria Carla Boscono's modelling career since 2004. After Natalia Vodianova, she's come in d-2nd place as a supermodel that I've always looking forward to. Btw, here's some basic info bout this Italian Supermodel. She was born on 20 September 1980, which means she's 28-years old. And also, she's blessed with decent height at 1.77 m.

Anyway, I'm not sure when was her debut appearance (I think..in 2000..not sure, u guys can always google...hehe), especially on d-runway show. As far as I concern, I've seen her doing all d-catwalk stuff in 2003. And until now (2008), she still rock d-runway show...in 2006, she did changed her haircolor into platinum blonde n her hair was kinda short.

Y I pick her after Natalia Vodianova?...Before I start talking crap, let me tell u, to me, she's not really that super-duper beautiful or has a goddess-looks or wuteva. She's just like next-door gal with a very high ambitious goals 4 herself. Anyway, I picked her after Natalia Vodianova mainly bcos of her signature walk. She's got d-most striking walk and very sensational walk. How impressed I was d-moment, I mean d-1st time I saw her on d-runway n I was like...who's she...She's so aggresive n her walk was abso-fucking-lutely amazing. Her walks really caught my eye. I loved d-way she cross her leg especially when she strutt her stuff to d-beat of d-music background. Goshhhh...I juz loved seeing her walk. Juz look at her gaze when she's on d-runway...so FIERCE.

Have a look at a clip below which I found in Youtube. It's a compilation of her catwalk-show from date not-known up until 2008.

And also, I got another clip of her. This one was between 2004 up until 2005. Somehow, it appears that I can't upload it here. But hey, I can give d-link. Do click d-link kay...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kczrbJxZFE

Anyway, for those who have YOUTUBE blocked at office or anywhere, here some pics of her. Oh yah, if u happened to flipping thru any fashion mag, for instance, CLEO or Vogue, u might have seen her in one of d-HERMES ad campaign where d-photoshoot taken in snow-falling environment. That's her.

She went Blonde

another shot of her for HERMES

Model dies in fall from NYC building & Euro 2008

Last nite, when I was watching a Buletin Utama, there's a news at d-bottom of d-screen said "Vogue model dies in fall from NYC building" which caught my attention instantly. Later I found out that d-model was Ruslana Korshunova n I absolutely had no idea who she was.

Anyway, according to wikipedia, she was featured in an article about Almaty's local German language club where she was attending. Then her pics got Debbie Jones's attention n signed her up. So that's how she got her jobs in modeling.

On d-other hand, there still no concrete reason why she jump out of her apartment to her death. Many said, it was a suicide. All in all, d-case is still under investigation. For those who have no idea who d-poor gal that I'm talking about, have a look at d-ad print below. I bet, u guys must have come across with this pic.

Ad & print campaign for Nina Ricci's fragrance

Btw, for every fan of EURO 2008, especially those who'r big fan of Spain, all I can say is Congratulations for winning d-Euro 2008. Juz now, I asked one of my colleagues wut d-scores was n he said 1-0. Well, to be honest, I dun give a damn wut d-score was since I'm not really into footballl. But hey, at least, when people ask I'd say..."Spain won"...huhuhu

The ANTM cycle 10 winner is

LV ad campaign

Natalia Vodianova

ANTM cycle 10 - episode 10

It was a battle between d-Nerdy-Model-Wannabe and d-Plus-Size-Model-Wannabe when they were in bottom 2.

Anyway, b4 that, they had to do a short commercial in Italian. Each one of 'em was provided a cue cards and it seemed like d-cue cards alone did not help much. It was like watching a Model-Turned-Comedian (MTC) show. LOL

Only Katarzyna n Fatima did well, by "well" I mean, both of 'em did much better than other gals.

Who did d-most terrible?...Personally, it goes to Lauren. Can u imagine, d-commercial needs all d-gals to talk in Italian (it's quite hard),walk n a tad of acting. Obviously, she's lacking in these three qualities. That's y she's in bottom 2.

The other gal was Whitney. Most of d-judges think that she's FAKE. D-way she smile, talk as well as d-way she look at d-camera. To me, she juz being herself as in Mariah Carey being a Mimi...hahaha.


Dun u think both of 'em are quite same in a sense of, u know if u have seen d-way of these 2 people do their stuff. It's not like they'r being someone else or something, it juz they being themselves. Kinda funny though watching Whitney with d-beauty-queen-smile-and-waving-to-
audiences-while-being-crowned attitudes.

So, who's OUT?....Lauren was eliminated n Whitney was given another chances.

Vogue Russia March 2008 :

Natalia Vodianova

Vogue Russia March 2008

After giving her 3rd child somewhere around last year, her modelling activities showing no sign of slowdown. This Russian born supermodel has graced more than 8 covers of Vogue for this year alone, or should I say, 4 d-1st quarter of 2008. Wow, I'm so impress with her n kinda addicted to c her more n more on runway show n ad campaign as well.

Cover of VOGUE:

"Vogue US January 2008, Vogue US February 2008, Vogue Korea February 2008, Vogue US March 2008, Vogue Russia March 2008, Vogue Italia Couture Supplement March 2008, Numero Tokyo April 2008, Vogue Italia April 2008, Vogue UK May 2008"

Kinda bz now, I'll upload all her latest cover as well as her ad campaign later. In d-mean time, enjoy her cover of Russia Vogue.

ANTM cycle 10

Gosh....I knew it

They'r going to ROME 4 abroad-shooting n d-finale as well. If u guys remember (or read my previous entry), one of my friend run into Mr Jay Manuel when he was in Rome last year. So I was guessing that they will do d-2nd half part of d-show in Rome. So, I was rite...hehehe. Let me put d-pic again here.

Well, 4 this cycle, I'd say, at this very stage, everyone is equally has a chance to grab d-ultimate prize. As I type this, 6 gals remain n still in d-running towards becoming ANTM. Below is the before (left) and after (right) makeover. And d-gals are......

Anya - The albino-look-alike with weird accent. If I'm not mistaken, b4 entering this reality Tv show, she was a model. So, in away, she's more experienced than any other gals in d-competition. So far, she won 2 challenge (or more, not sure) n got her pic taken 4 7-up ad n 4 other's ad. She's so lucky 4 having her pic taken by none other than Nigel Barker, renowed photograher, so they say, aka one of d-ANTM judges.

Fatima - The younger version of Iman-look-alike who was brought up in Somalia and got circumcised at very young age. By "circumcised" I mean, she had her clitoris removed. And, I was kinda surprised when she said she cannot sleep with man (have sex) juz because she's circumcised. Only then I know that, back to her hometown, circumcise means that all ur clitoris will be removed. Does it makes sense? Gosh, it was like ordering a fried rice and only getting a plain white rice. Anyway, I pity her.

Lauren - The nerdy n awkward gal which remind me of the previous top-model-wannabe, for instance, Shandy from Cycle 2. D-best thing bout' this gal is, she turned her awkwardness into elegance and high-fashion and it's effortlessly translated into d-picture. It was like she's living in a 2 different world where she can transfer herself into either gorgeous gal in d-pic or gracelessness or clumsiness or stiffness gal in person.

Katarzyna - Nothing much that I can bitchy bout' this gal but she's pretty consistent week after week. Most of her pics was amazingly beautiful n in d-episode 6 or 7, she got her hair cut when Tyra n other judges "thought" she looked more high-fashion n she can pull it off with d-new hairdo.

Whitney - The only plus-size-model in ANTM cycle 10. She's energetic n vibrant. Kinda like her classic face n d-way she carry herself despite of being an Unconventional Super Sexy Busty Model Figure or obese or wuteva...huhuhu.

Dominique - At first glance, u may think this gal is fierce bitch. Well, sort of...huhuhuhu. During d-preliminary screening, she looked even fierce or should I say, a fierce transvestite...LOL. But then, as d-show goes by, she managed to soften her masculinity-looks. Anyway, wut draw me to this gal is, she said something which is really2x grab my attention and it's kinda funny though. Let me quote her words exactly,

"I wanna be like freakin' Mother Teresa, but in a diva kind of way, okay?"

Anyway, I could hardly wait to c who'll be eliminate in d-next episode (epi 10) of cycle 10. And to be honest, I dun have any clue or idea who'll be d-next ANTM cycle 10 cos it's pretty hard to tell n guess. Juz sit n watch.

ANTM cycle 9 winner is................

Saleisha..............Yuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

whose pic ru looking at 1st?.....Tyra rite?...hmmmmm

Personally, I dun think she even deserve to be in d-final 2. That was a HUGE mistake done by Tyra n her fella team. What were they thinking?....Juz bcos she had attended Tyra's T-Zone camp doesn't mean that she has d-xtra credit to be crown as d-winner. C'mon, that's SO SO SO SO wrong.

To me, she looks very plain, n there's no fire or X-factor. Jenah, Heather n Chantal look much more edgy, haute couture n so high fashion. Let's take a look some of these potential-winner-but-had-been-kicked-out pictures:

from L-R: Jenah, Chantal, and Heather

I just dun like d-winner.....nothing much to complain about, coz it's a ANTM's WORST WINNER EVER. Full stop.

Anyway, I just happened come across with covergirl eyewear ad campaign which featured Caridee n Dani which both r d-winner from cycle 7 n 6.

ANTM cycle 9-episode 10

I just happen to come across this blog talking about d-latest episode of ANTM cycle 9, episode 10. Well, d-blogger clearly state on his blog how annoyed he was watching Seleisha n Bianca being such a BITCHY and mean to Heather. In fact, he rephrase or should I say rename Seleisha as Suckleisha....hehehehe. Yeah, that's bitchy gal.

Anyway, I post a comment regarding above matter on his blog. Apart from bitchy-biatch things, I also agree with him in terms of photoshoot-wise, which both of us think that Heather effortlessly nailed every single of photoshoot she did.

covergirl of d-week: Heather

However, I told him, d-only fly in d-ointment is, Heather is not good at communication n doing commercial due to her Autisme or something. Can't recall d-name. But hey, she can choose not to speak up or, u know, just having ur pic taken without open ur mouth. Linda Evangelista once said:

" I can do anything you want as long as I don't have to speak" - Linda Evangelista.


That's her 3rd most quotes to remember and 10th in d-Supermodel Quotes. And of cos, Linda was n still jaw-droppingly beautiful.

Anyway, Here d-SPOILER 4 that episode - LISA was sent home...n Heather was bottom 2. What?..yeah, she was.

Natalia Vodianova-supermodel-1st runway show after giving birth to her 3rd son

She's back. Yupp, let me repeat, she's back on track...on runway show, to be accurate. I've been longing to see her doing that catwalk-thing. And finally, she opened Valentino’s show. D-moment d-Russian mom strode on d-runway stage, it caught every1's attention. For d-record, she gave birth 2 her 3rd son 3 weeks b4 appearing in Valentino’s ready-to-wear collection show. Imagine that, how quick n fast she get back her svelte figure 2 die 4. Not 2 mention d-hey-world-look-at-me-I'm-a-mom-of-3-kids-n-I-still-got-it smiles on her face while d-photographers snapping her pic.

I just LOVE her...1st bcos of her signature walk which is, well, very distinctive n yet very sexy. Second reason would be, her barbie-doll looks n as well as d-edgy looks when it comes to haute coutoure or high-fashion or wuteva. 3rd, would be her status, I guess. She's a working mom n that has given her more credit.

Let's see some of da' pic of her during d-Valentino's show.

(upper left-opening/Spring 2008 Ready-to-Wear/below left n rite-at Karl lagerfeld's show)
