MMaS later.
1. Allison
Easily the best of the week. I absolutely love her pose, I think it’s so cute and interesting while not being weird. It’s an editorial model pose. She’s showing off the clothing extremely well. She looks strong and confident but not too harsh. Her eyes are slightly crossed, but that’s really the only flaw. Heck, she even makes the beaver teeth kind of work for her! You go, Creepy-Chan.
2. Teyona
Yes, yes, her arm is amputated, but this is still one of the best photos of the week and everyone seriously needs to get over it. Her body looks awesome, her pose is editorial, and she shows off the clothes so well. For a girl that looks like a cross between a velociraptor and crocodile in real life, she looks enormously beautiful and sensual in photographs a good amount of the time. I wish the judges would call her out on her three-quarters profile like they did with Sandra, but Sandra had so many other problems besides that (they were never gonna outright say about her beauty shot “THIS PHOTO IS HIDEOUS” even though it clearly was) and Teyona is pretty darn awesome.
3. Natalie
Well, it’s really boring because Natalie is obnoxious and thought she could just get away with being hot, but other than that it’s a good photo. Despite the fact that she’s sitting, she looks long, lean, and super modelesque. She takes her cues from Carmen Miranda while not being too literal. Her face is a little draggy, but other than that and the super boringness, it’s a good photo.

It’s not so much that this photo is literal that it’s just kind of wacky and super unmodelesque. I mean, everything about this photo conspires to make her look like a drag queen, I’m sorry, I love her, but it’s true. I like that cute little heel kick up, though, and her energy is great and she shows off the clothing really well. I just wished she’d remembered to be a model.
5. Aminat
Eh. People are acting like this is OMG SO TERRIBLE!!! but it’s not THAT bad. It’s just very… we’ve seen this maaaany times before from Aminat, from the yeah, “black girl in the ghetto 101” pose (though I gotta say, it’s pretty fierce and she looks like 500 feet tall), to the completely sleepy face that looks much the same as in her immigrant shot. It totally worked there and it totally DOESN’T work here. But I don’t know, it’s not THAT bad. I think she looks really strong and pretty. It’s just not all that fitting from the shoot and as I said, we’ve seen it before.
6. Celia
This is great… until you get to the face. Then, DEAD DEAD DEAD DEAD DEAD. Which is sad, because I love her pose, I think she looks so great and confident and shows off the clothing so well, but that face is such a freaking blank, it’s the worst of the week. I don’t think she looks that old in this photo either. Like, she looks old, duh, but she looks about as fresh-faced as she ever will. Too bad that “fresh face” is, as I said, DEAD DEAD DEAD DEAD DEAD.
