Asia’s Next Top Model Cycle 2 Episode 10 – The Island Girl

Posted on March 27, 2014 | 7 comments

After a couple of weeks off the air * Asia’s Next Top Model is back and this time, a rather sad elimination was bound to happen. With six girls running towards winning the coveted title, it was really hard for the judges to eliminate anyone – but really, this is still a competition.

A back to back first call out from our homegirls isn’t so bad, no? I loved the fact that Team Philippines were at number one and two. Now it is with great sadness to let ya know guys that one of the most consistent girls this cycle faltered and eventually got booted out.  Last night episode, we see the girls discussing with the Storm Model Management who will eventually and hopefully manage them after Top Model.

Marie

I didn’t like Marie’s shot. I thought it was weak facially. She’s got that same scary face from last episode. I thought her body movement’s great but it’s still a weak picture.

Jodilly

This isn’t exactly Jodilly’s best shot but it’s far better than the rest of the girls. I love the composition of this shot and the way she displayed an Alex Perry – kudos to you girl!

Josephine

I thought Josephine looked great in this dress. My only problem is that it looked so catalogue-ish.

Katarina

Alex Perry and the gang just loved how beautiful Katja was and I’ve to agree with them wholeheartedly. A beautiful face could really get you so far and I think Katarina’s out to prove that she’s not only just a face. Good job girl!

Nicole

I am inlove with this girl and I thought that she’s got tons of potential! I just hate the fact that this photo is just boring. What just happened?

Sheena

Are you guys getting tired of Sheena’s blonde hair? I’ve to admit that it’s getting kinda old now but you can’t fault a girl who really knows how to model. Her face looks boring but it’s still a strong shot altogether.

First Call Out: Jodilly

Asia’s Next Top Model Cycle 2 Episode 9 – The Girl With a Wild Side

Posted on March 6, 2014 | 10 comments

There’s a lot of things that I liked about the episode last night and just a few missed that I didn’t care about at all after waking up this morning. I loved the fact that my two home-girls got the first and second call-outs, whoot hoot! And ofcourse, the photoshoot this week was j’adore!!!! I’m not that disappointed with the girl that was sent home, only if you will based the episode on their body of works all throughout the competition but to boot her out with that picture was a travesty! For this episode, the girls went to Sarawak in Borneo. During the shoot, resident judge Mike Rosenthal was their photographer so the girls were very nervous and all. It was the best concept of the season for a shoot if I may say so, let’s all check them out…

Jodilly

This for me is beyond incredible! It’s my favorite shot of the season! This is a very strong photo and could easily land Jodilly a spot in the finals!

Josephine

I just love this girl! She keeps on producing great shot after another! I’m not gonna be mad if I’ll see her walking the final runway.

Katarina

I love me some baby Katja and she’s looking fierce as hell here! I love that she also reminds me of a tribe princess here jungle warrior princess theme since the outfits says so little about the latter.

Marie

This shot is too grotesque for me in the face. I wished Marie could’ve soften it a little but nevertheless, it was still a good shot face down.

Natalie

Remove the shoes and I can totally picture this in a National Georgraphic feature. I just love the composition of this shot! There’s so much to look at and it’s really interesting!

Nicole

Nicole’s magic seems to be not working this time – she’s totally losing it. Cmon’ girl! It’s the final stretch!

Sheena

Wow! Sheena is looking so luminous! I love her body movement and I love that I can still see Sheena! Like always, it’s smashing!

So who went home this episode?

Asia’s Next Top Model Cycle 2 Episode 8 – The Girl Who Makes a Splash

Posted on February 27, 2014 | Leave a comment

Eight girls remains with the competition getting in the nerves of most of the girls. Who’s that one girl who will keep her cool and rise on top this episode?

So far, three girls are getting consistent remarks from the judges for “always bringing it” in every shoot. Marie for one is having an impressive run with the most FCO’s this series thus far, followed by Nicole and Josephine whose pictures are getting rave reviews! Are the judges setting them up to be the finals three?

The challenge winner this episode was Tia (her second this cycle) winning a lunch date with no less than THE Jimmy Choo and they had their photoshoot at the beautiful and luxurious Pangkor Laut resort with Chiun-Kai Shih as their photographer. (which somehow reminds me of the first cycle’s French Riviera‘s episode) The panel was joined by Andrea Fonseka, a former Miss Malaysia.

Jodilly

I love how Jodilly’s using her body here but her facial expression seemed disconnected somehow. I still like it though.

Josephine

JoJo is back! A very strong shot from the most consistent girl this season! I love how she’s using her whole body to get a great shot!

Katarina

Whilst I’m not a fan of this shot, I thought her profile looks absolutely divine! You cannot deny a beauty like Katarina. She’d do really well in beauty campaigns!

Marie

Well, what can I say? Marie’s totally bringing it! This shot is so dynamic and so powerful I could totally see it in any fashion magazine! Well done girl!

Natalie

I really love this shot of Natalie. Unlike Marie, this shot does not require ferocity but softness and some intensity in the eyes. I see softness but not intensity! Still a great shot though!

Nicole

Now, this has got to be Nicole’s worst photo to date. Her body look distorted and her face is unrecognizable. It’s fierce all right but I feel that it’s a bit forced.

Sheena

Mighty Sheena is back! Thank you girl for bringing back the old you! This is smashing and you look like a tree nymph here! This is my favorite shot from the bunch! Amazing!

Tia

Being the shortest in the bunch, she really does look short here and her profile isn’t really that good. It’s time to pack your bag girl, it was a great run though.

Asia’s Next Top Model Cycle 2 Episode 7 – The Girl Who is in the Spotlight

Posted on February 20, 2014 | 5 comments

There are still ten girls running towards becoming Asia’s Next Top Model since last week was a non-elimination episode. This time around though, it’s going to be a lot harder especially for Janice and Tia who have to carry on with this episode’s photoshoot with frames lesser than the rest of the girls.

For this week’s episode, the girls were tested for their *acting skills* and during the challenge, half of the girls were immediately booted out and were to help the other half to win the challenge. They were paired together to create a night look hair which Sheena easily won and picked her fellow Malaysian Josephine to share her prizes.

The shoot this week was for TRESemmé, one of the main sponsors this cycle (as you may already know, the winner of this cycle will have the chance of becoming the face of one of TRESemmé’s 2014 campaigns.) Now,IMO this is an all important challenge because whoever gets the first call out here have a very good shot of landing at the Top 4 – the least. At the panel, the judges were joined by Asian popstar Coco Lee.

Janice

This isn’t working for me at all. If I’m being honest, she looks more than an actress than a model and she does look old at times. Sorry Janice, this is it girl.

Jodilly

I actually loved this shot!! Jodi’s face is a bit harsh at times that seeing her looking so soft this time around was refreshing!

Josephine

I’ve a problem with the way her face photographed here. It made her look old but I love her body position.

Katarina

Finally! Katja’s best shot to date no doubt! That face is flawless! I kinda wished though that she stretched her right hand more because it looks a bit on a shorty side.

Marie

Don’t get me wrong, I love Marie but her picture doesn’t translate top model to me. She’s technically very good and knows her angle but it’s too studied in my opinion. Gotta love this shot though!

Natalie

I’m not too crazy about this photo because it looks a bit dated but I love her face here!

Nicole

She totally nailed this one!!! I’ve no doubt now that this Singaporean beauty is the one to beat at the moment. She’s tall, she’s high fashion and can be very commercial as well. Plus, her look is very NOW.

Sheena

Sheena’s one of my favorite girls in the competition and I just love her consistency but she’ boring me for two weeks now.

Sneha

Oh no, this is a total disaster! After an impressive shoot last week, she’s giving us this pose? It’s so not TRESemmé!

Tia

While I’m not the biggest fan of Tia and have wanted her to leave weeks ago, I feel that she’s giving us decent pictures and for that – she deserved to stay a week more.

First Call Out: Marie

Asia’s Next Top Model Cycle 2 Episode 6 – The Girl Who Works The Room

Posted on February 13, 2014 | Leave a comment

So we’ve a pretty interesting episode last night with Janice doing all the bitching and blahblah talking and getting all the hate from the rest of the girls. ‘Girl doesn’t know when to shut up but it was really fun if I’m being honest. I love me some Asian catfights.

During the challenge, Joey invited the girls to attend a party and show how they will conduct themselves in an event. Jodilly was unanimously praised and as the winner of this challenge, she was to be given extra 15 frames in the upcoming photoshoot.

During the shoot, Jodi and Nicole did extremely well while most are executed the mechanical couture* shoot poorly. Let’s all check the results of this shoot…

This in my opinion, Janice best shot to date but I still don’t see a model. She’s the mediocre version of Sheena (ANTM Cycle 11) and Sheena’s not even the best girl from that cycle.

Jodilly is showing power here! She knows her angle and I love how she play with her hands! BB Jodilly rocking like a boss!

While I’m a fan of Josephine, I thought this shot was her weakest to date. Waist up was really good but she just look short in here.

Again, it’s the same expression from Katarina. I don’t know what to make of her. The girl’s got the personality of a top model but does she have the goods to prove it? This shot isn’t working at all. It’s either they’re keeping her for her personality rather than her body of work. Step it up baby Katja!

I love Marie here! I thought the pose was a bit stiff but it was not boring. She isn’t showing much facial expression but that body is going on forever!

Natalie received the first call out last week and she came up this episode with a uninspired photo. It just looks so awkward!

I love Nicole! She’s gonna be in the finale! That I could feel as early as now! Another great photo!

Sheena’s getting boring and this one’s such a snoozefest!

Sneha’s showing me the same face but overall, I love this shot. It’s not contrived like Natalie and not stiff like Marie

Another Tia disaster. She should leave ASAP. This is probably the worst in the batch. Cmon’ now!

Asia’s Next Top Model Cycle 2 Episode 5 – The Girl That Runs Her Own Race

Posted on February 9, 2014 | 1 comment

It’s no secret that I’m not the biggest fan of Tia but kudos to her for winning this week’s challenge and sharing it with Janice. Good for you girls!

Photographer Loh Lin Shan was the photog this week in a futuristic sport themed photoshoot! Pretty interesting aye? Each girls will have 15 frames.

Janice is determined to stay one more week and she’s givin’ it her all… still not a fan but kudos to this girl!

Wow! I am very impressed with Jodi this week! Girl’s a natural!!!! #preach

I’m not feeling this at all from Josephine. The styling was disappointing! Her worst to date!

The body’s good but the face is just blah! This isn’t looking good for Katarina.

What happened to Marie this week? This is such a downgrade from her amazing photo last episode!

After weeks of producing beyond mediocre photos, Natalie proved to me why she’s deserving of a spot this cycle! This photo’s perfection! Prolly the best this cycle so far!!! Werk!
