TOP MODEL

"The U.S Next Model"
Last week's finale of America 's Next Top Model had a lot in store for fans as the relatively boring ninth cycle came to a close. For a little bit of a recap, Jenah Doucette was eliminated before she could become of the final two girls. It was mostly due to the judges' concern about her personality, which has been an issue echoing in the last few judgment days. Of course, fans were surprised to see a modeled with brilliant photos walk away. Then there's Saleisha Stowers' win, which sparked controversy about her previous modeling experience and her connections with Tyra Banks.The final episode showcased some really juicy (and fruity) photos of the remaining girls, and we'd like to take this opportunity to criticize them. For the last challenge, the girls were to do the usual Cover Girl photo shoot but this time a commercial one wherein the goal was to be beautiful, cheerful, appealing and aspirational. Let's start with the most tasteful photo of the finale which happens to be Chantal Jones'. Her picture turned out to be cute, cheerful and free of any major defects, except maybe for her odd looking bun, which was probably the stylist's fault.
Moving on to the less tasteful and awkward photos are those of Saleisha and Jenah, whose pictures showed off their problem area, instead of hiding it. As for Saleisha, her lack of neck was showcased in the photo which lacked airspace between her left shoulder and her chin. It seems that Tyra's advice hasn't sunk in, as Tyra previously mentioned that there's a distinction between the way actresses look in their magazine photos and how a model is supposed to look. Unfortunately, Saleisha didn't pull of a model on this photo.As for Jenah, she still looks awesome on the photo, but the shot was least flattering. Her teeth seem to stand out, and if they're not careful with the pose, they tend to really be prominent.At long last America 's Next Top Model has finally come to a close, and we are left with the winner of them all, Saleisha Stowers. Whether we like it or not, she's made a wave in the series, and will continue to do so in her new found modeling career.
