America's Next Top Model All-Stars Finale

Thursday, December 8, 2011

Finally, the All-Star winner was revealed in last night's finale of America's Next Top Model All-Stars. The All Star with the brand "Daring" and from cycle 5 Lisa D'Amato won the 17th cycle of ANTM. Although Lisa won the competition this was not the Trending topic on social networking sites and in the "Top Model Land", it's the sudden disqualification of Angelea Preston. The network needs to re-shot the finale because if it's not they should announced the winner in Crete, Greece, but still CW has the answer, they disqualified Angelea after they wrapped up the season.

Here is a statement from CW: "After production wrapped on the current cycle of America's Next Top Model, we learned information that made Angelea ineligible and she was subsequently disqualified from the competition. As a result, new scenes were filmed to address this for the audience during the finale."

Could this confirm the rumors that Angelea was originally declared as the winner? And she bragged about it in media or in social networking sites that lead to her disqualification? Read the CW statement again "...that made Angelea ineligible...", ineligible of what? Winning? I think so because if not what's the need to re-shot? Other rumor has it that Angelea was supposed to be in the re-shot but didn't show up. Something is really wierd with this finale, Tyra and co. should explain further for the fans of ANTM, just like me.

All in all, the finale was a blast! The All Stars had a Michael Cinco (Pinoy Pride!) runway show and they have to model underwater, then rise out of the water to signify their "birth as a goddess", then wear harness then work the runway while their recorded song is playing. They did the Vogue Italia test shots and the Cover Girl ads. I agree that Lisa matured as a model and not the "Girl Who Peed In A Diaper" model anymore, but Angelea has an inspiring story and her persistence helped her work that Michael Cinco runway show, on the other hand Allison has the biggest fan base of all the contestant and she really fits in Vogue Italia. Anyway congratulations to La Puchineta and I will wait for her Vogue spread, Beauty In Vogue cover, her guesting in Extra, her own brand of perfume, The Express campaign plus her IMG portfolio. This is so far the most scandalous Top Model finale ever! What do you think? To see the All-Stars full Portfolio CLICK HERE!!!

America's Next Top Model All Stars-Anthony Zuicker Photos

Thursday, October 6, 2011


The All Stars experienced a health scare as one of the girls had a medical emergency, I was glad to see Bianca to be compassionate to Kayla, so nice of her. After everything went back to OK, the girls met the creator of CSI and guest judge Anthony Zuicker, they had to audition for a role in CSI, most girls weren't able to impress Anthony and Mr.J but two of them made Anthony happy and the one who was more credible bag the role. After that the girls had a photo shoot with Express client Lisa Gavales. The models had to embody a story The Flirt, The Cool Chick, The Girlfriend and The Socialite. I liked Laura's(shown above) photo, this is for me the best of the bunch. Bianca had a her Diva moment again and it ended up not being a good shot, most girls redeemed themselves after their disastrous performance the week before and one of them bag the best photo, the All Star that represents "Diva" went home, sad but she needs to go, I actually thinks that she should went home before Isis.

America's Next Top Model All Stars-Nicki Minaj Episode

Thursday, September 15, 2011


After the long wait, Top Model All Stars finally premiered! Tyra Banks, the creator of America's Next Top Model, successfully presented the 14 fan-favorite contestants from past cycles. The pilot episode was exciting and intense, I was smizing the entire episode! Haha, The girls arrived one by one in their mansion and just for the first 5mins. a catfight between bestfriends Bianca and Bre errupted! The girls did a photo shoot re-encarnating their Top Model personas. A live judging panel happened with guest star and Top Model fan, Nicki Minaj. I felt bad for Alexandria but so proud of Laura, both of them has a good shot of winning this cycle. The most confident girl got the first All Star Best Photo and I actually thought that Sheena will go home first but as shocking as it is, One of the bitch went home because the crowd can't remember her, maybe it's because of all those plastic surgeries. The winner of this All Star cycle will get a $100,000 contract with Covergirl cosmetics, a campaign with Express, an opportunity to be a guest correspondent in Extra and a spread in Vogue Italia! Next week is the Ashlee Simpson episode, MakeOver time!!! To check this cycles full portfolio CLICK HERE!!

America's Next Top Model Cycle 16: And The Winner Is...

Friday, May 20, 2011

This is it! Last night's ANTM Finale was great! The final two Brittani Kline and Molly O'Connell battle it out for the last time. The girls had a one on one with IMG big boss Ivan Bart. A Covergirl commercial and an edgier Covergirl photo shoot with world class photographer Pierpaolo Ferrari. I actually like the idea of Covergirl twisting a little bit from bubbly photos to a more fierce look! After that the top two had their Vogue Italia shoot with mirrors. A surprise back home was waiting for Molly and it made Brittani cry AGAIN! The Final Runway was the most memorable, as the girls walked wearing the designs of the influential and Avant Garde designer Vivienne Westwood. The Anglomania collection of Ms.Westwood is fierce baby! Top Model finale will not be complete without a visit from last cycle winner Ann Ward! Ann's personality and her Runway walk got better! Kasia, Alexandria and Hannah joins the top two during the Runway and Hannah looks good I can say. Jay Manuel joins the panel to help the judges decide who will be America's Next Top Model... If you want SPOILERS go and read more below!

Molly(above) and Brittani (below) for their Covergirl shots.

Tyra Banks, Nigel Barker, Andre Lleon Taley and Jay Manuel had a hard time deciding which of Brittani and Molly should win. Brittani can deliver good photos and her strong Runway walk is her ace. While Molly delivered best photo more than Brittani and her tough attitude can handle the mad world of fashion but her anger issues always gets in her way. So who win this cycle? The strong walk of Brittani or Fierce photos of Molly? The brunette or the blonde?


And as Tyra Banks will say, America's Next Top Model is....



Brittani Kline! YEY! Go girl! Brittani along with Hannah and Molly were my bets to win this cycle! Now I can't wait for September for, as the rumor says, America's Next Top Model ALL STAR!! For Now, To see all Brittani Kline's and this cycle's portfolio CLICK HERE!!!!

America's Next Top Model Cycle 16-"Daniella Issa Helayel" Episode

Sunday, May 8, 2011
Previously On America's Next Top Model. The girls had an experience with Morrocco's exotic cuisine and one of the models got very sick about it. The final four had a challenge with Ms.J that made one of the girls lose her temper. During the photo shoot the story of the "Lost Princess" continues as they will model dresses made by European based designer Daniella Issa Helayel, who is also a guest judge. Alexandria was a little bit controlling while Hannah lacks of it. Brittani & Molly(above photo) wow-ed Mr.J but how about the panel? My BET for Final Two are Molly and Brittani!! Who's yours? To see this cycle's portfolios CLICK HERE!!

Hannah needs to step it up to avoid elimination this week.
Will Alexandria exit the competition with this photo?
Fierce Brittani.The Princess finally arrives.

America's Next Top Model Cycle 16-"Franca Sozzani" Episode Photos

Thursday, April 28, 2011
The top five girls arrived in Marrakesh, Morrocco, this cycle's international destination. The J's welcome the girls with some creepy creatures along the way. During the challenge, Kasia had a meltdown because none of the clothes fit her. This affected her performance during the photo shoot as the girls pose with a grumpy camel. Kasia struggles with her body figures and it reflected in her photo. While Alexandria directed the shoot again! The girl that caught my attention in this episode was Molly. Lately, Molly is becoming bitchy and complains all the time, Tyra told her to change this attitude during last panel but I think what she's doing is not actually changing her bitchy attitude but instead putting a fake mask and play nice with her co-workers, just like what Alexandria is doing. Hannah and Brittani(above photo) delivered nice photos and the judges noticed it. Vogue Italia's editor-in-chief, Franca Sozzani is this week's guest judge. We are near the finale! To see this cycle's full portfolio, CLICK HERE!!!

Hannah is memorable, she proved that in this photo.
Alexandria got in touch with her bitchiness once more.
Molly can win but not with that fake attitude.
Kasia's confidence needs a boost.

America's Next Top Model Cycle 16-"Lana Marks" Episode

Friday, April 15, 2011


Four reasons why this episode is so fierce!! First, it's time for Go-sees! The girls need to use different Fashion Archetypes in their go-sees, who book the most and who just played it safe? Second is Morocco, Tyra revealed that this season, the international destination will be Morocco but out of six, only five will continue on after this episode. Third is Michael Cinco! He is a high fashion designer who is also a Filipino! He dressed the girls during the eco-friendly photo shoot in a garbage dump site with photographer Nigel Barker. And lastly, Famous handbag and accessories designer Lana Marks (above photo with Tyra) is this episode's guest judge. She also chose the winner for the go-see challenge.The challenge winner won an exact replica of a clutch used by Angelina Jolie. I was sad about the elimination although I already guessed that she is the next to be eliminated, but still it is sad to see her go. Next week, see you in Morocco as America's Next Top Model Cycle 16 is near to it's finale! To see the girls full portfolio tweet me, follow me HERE!!!


Molly really needs to be less bitchy about everything, or she will be eliminated next!

Kasia is ethereal in this shot.

Sweet and girly Jaclyn delivered a nice pose.

I think the judges are now betting on Alexandria to win this cycle.

Hannah is fierce and high fashion but she needs more confidence all the way to win over Alexandria!

Friday, March 25, 2011

It was Baah-Nanas! Top celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe was the guest judge on America's Next Top Model Cycle 16. The episode features her faux fur collection during the photo shoot. The girls need to bring out their wild side and pose in front of Jay Manuel and A-list photographer Baldomero Fernandez. The photo shoot took place at LA's old zoo. Drama is always part of top model episodes and this time it was Molly who's having problems with her weaves. The girls continue to talk behind Alexandria's back, who continues to have her Diva attitude despite of Tyra telling her to stop it. Have you seen the girls portfolios? If not see all of them HERE!!!
