Lauren “London” Levi – Photoshoot Portfolio Review, America’s Next Top Model Cycle 12, ANTM 2009

I love London. It’s too bad that the stress got to her, leading to the extra weight. London’s face is spectacular, and she should definitely continue pursuing a career in modeling. She has all the natural gifts needed plus she’s only 18 years old.

This photo doesn’t really work. London’s head is tilted a little too high and her facial expression is much too exaggerated. London’s figure is totally out of whack as she has gained probably 20 pounds since the start of the competition. That in and of itself isn’t horrible, but London should not have posed straight on to push the point even more. Maybe a three-quarters view of the body would have helped hide some of the extra weight.

Review Score: ★★☆☆☆

Aminat and Fo impress as Wall Street investors, America’s Next Top Model 12 Episode 4 ANTM

March 18, 2009 by vongsundara · Leave a Comment 

The preview showed that tonight’s episode would include lots of Miss J and runway walking, which is always a good thing. There’s not much wrong that this show can do for me. I’m way too obsessed.

Overall, it was a fun episode, and I enjoyed that we got to see more of New York due to the theme of the photoshoot: famous areas of New York. I wasn’t too sad to see Nijah go home. She’s extremely pretty, but she’s been boring me to death the last couple of weeks.

Model makeover brings Fo to tears, America’s Next Top Model 12 Episode 3 ANTM

March 15, 2009 by vongsundara · 1 Comment 

America’s Next Top Model’s annual makeover episode came a lot earlier in the cycle than usual. I’m personally happy that the makeovers happened during the second episode, as the competition doesn’t really seem to start until the makeovers are complete.

This year’s makeover episode had quite a bit of drama, especially from Fo, which is unfortunate because Fo had the best makeover. Fo’s baby reaction definitely made me like her less. Hopefully she can get over it and move on, because if she has another week like this week, then I’m going to be hoping and wishing for her to go.

Allison super creepy but photogenic, America’s Next Top Model 12 Episode 1-2 ANTM

March 7, 2009 by vongsundara · Leave a Comment 

The first photoshoot of every cycle of America’s Next Top Model is cause-driven. Past causes have been the environment and politics. Cycle 12 starts out with the issue of little girls wanting to grow up too quickly. Tyra mentions that one in five girls polled want to be a teen mom. What a strange new generation of girls.

Now it’s time to get down to the point of this post, my review of the photos. The photos are listed in order of best to worst. Each of the models had to portray a different childhood game that little girls play.

In the end, Isabella is sent home. I loved Isabella after the first hour of the premiere, but after looking through the photos, there’s not much argument that can be made against the judges’ decision to let Isabella go home.
