Allison Harvard – Photoshoot Portfolio Review, America’s Next Top Model Cycle 12, ANTM 2009

I can’t believe Allison didn’t win. Sure, she had some things to work in compared to Teyona, who is a complete model right now, but Allison overcame so much and grew a lot this season. Also, the fact that Allison basically stomped Teyona in the CoverGirl challenge and final runway shows that she can handle the pressure of being in the spotlight and will continue to grow as a model.

Allison’s face is absolutely magical. It looks like she stepped out of an anime and on to the catwalk. She showed myrid facial expressions from intense to surprised to sexy and even commercial. There’s nothing she can’t do, and there’s no makeup, hair or wardrobe that could overwhelm her exaggerated features.

Allison has to work a bit on her walk and her presence, but I really wish that Tyra had given Allison a chance given that Teyona stumbled at the finish line. Oh well . . . I think it basically came down to Teyona wanting it more. Ever since Cycle 1′s winner, Adrianne Curry, went off the deep end, Tyra has been giving the title to the model who wants it most, often to the chagrin of fans.

Three words Tyra: “Get. Over. It.” Forget about Cycle 1, and give the title to the best model.

Wow, Allison can do commercial too! Allison has been a master chameleon this season, and this week is no exception. I’m not sure I really like the angle of her face in this photo, but Tyra said that there were tons of photos to choose from, so I’ll have to believe her. I would have loved to see the reel from this photoshoot. Still, though, Allison once again looks smoking hot and can really sell product with that wonderful face of hers.

Review Score: ★★★★☆

Damn, another five-out-of-five rating for Allison. This may be the best photo of the entire season. It’s not so much a photo as it is a piece of art. I would totally hang this on the wall of my home. The facial expression, the body position, basically everything is exquisite. There’s a bird-like quality that only Allison can infuse in this photo. This is simply magical.

Review Score: ★★★★★

Another week, another stunning photo from Allison. She is really showing that she has more than one look the past couple of weeks. Allison looks absolutely stunning here and is oozing classy sexuality in a 1970s child-of-the-earth sort of way. I love how she’s holding the hairy dude and how he’s staring right back at her.

Review Score: ★★★★☆

Allison delivers yet again with a flawless photo. Allison’s facial expression has life and energy behind it, and her pose is absolutely endearing. This is one of the best photos of the entire season. There’s nothing I can find wrong with it at all.

Review Score: ★★★★★
