Hello my fashionistas!
This week we arrive in the land that Alexandria aptly describes as being ‘so NOT America’ and find the girls in a beautiful Moroccan marketplace surrounded by spices, monkeys and cobras. I think my favourite moment of this episode comes courtesy of Brittani, who reminds us that she lives in a trailer and hasn’t seen much beyond her own walls. While the girls are wandering around checking out the scene, Brittani is stunned to see snake charmers lulling cobras into a trance. She quickly notes that back home when they encounter a snake they ‘kill it, skin it, eat it and then hang the skin on the wall.’
After a tour of the marketplace, the models are whisked off for a traditional Moroccan lunch and then find themselves at Villa Amir, where they meet Andre Leon Talley and a fabulous couture designer named Nourredine Amir, who makes clothing that has incredible sculptural details. Each girl tries on different dresses with distinct features, such as cone like structures and thick shaped materials. Kasia gets teary eyed, as the designer has to go through the bulk of his collection to find a dress that fits her fiercely real body. She makes the best of the dress she is in, but definitely has a hard time realizing that she may have a challenge in the high fashion industry.
Much to Andre’s dismay, Alexandria walks in her couture gown sporting white ankle socks! Andre tells her to go and take them off immediately and later commends Kasia as being the only girl who was smart enough to carry a pair of heels around in her purse…just in case. Brittani rocks her walk and comes out on top in this challenge.
ANTM Live BUZZ: Do you want your turn to be in the spotlight? Come down to ANTM Live and strut your stuff on our Open Catwalk. Put your best heel forward and maybe you can be the next great talent!
After the girls get shown to their apartment, which is decked out in Moroccan splendour, they find themselves in the middle of the scorching desert with Mr. Jay. For those of you who caught the episode, I loved Jay’s spectacular leather jacket, how sleek was that? Jay has yet to have a fashion mis-step. I just hate the fact that he is prettier than me!
Mr. Jay introduces Michael Woolley, who is a top photographer and Michael informs the girls that they will be modelling Berber, traditional costumes and European sophistication…all while riding a camel! Molly immediately cops an attitude and says that she will have to ‘pretend to not be a b#@$, like [she] really is’. Despite the bad attitude, she manages the most stunning shots of the day. Brittani also excels and Hannah impresses with her varied and daring poses standing up on the camel and engaging in gravity defying stances. Both Alexandria and Kasia have a very difficult time and can’t communicate the right feel in their shoots.
During judging panel, Molly gets the win and we are left with Alexandria and Kasia facing elimination. Sadly for me, another one of my favourite girls goes home and Kasia packs her bags and loses her chance to be America’s Next Top Model. For me she represents so much in terms of her overall beauty inside and out and unfortunately fell victim to lack of faith in herself. So from five we go down to four and the remaining contestants are Brittani, Alexandria, Hannah and Molly. Next week looks interesting because I am pretty sure I saw the girls eating goat brain. I think I might not eat before watching next week’s offering from ANTM!
What is your take on the elimination? Did you see Kasia being a contender? Drop me a line and let me know! ctement@nationalevent.com
Until next time Glamazons!
