Victoria has an interesting face, a kind of Botticelli-style oval that doesn’t immediately say All-American Cover Girl, but in the solo shot definitely looks to have plenty of editorial, high-fashion potential.

She is strategically hidden in the group photo, so as yet, we are not able to really get an accurate sense of what her body truly looks like. If so, either this photo was touched by a Photoshop genius, or she is one of the most perfectly-proportioned plus-sizers we have seen, without the cankles or off-balance, extra-sized booty or boobage we’ve seen with some of the other plus-sized models in the past. Sarah is, apparently, one of the “plus-sized models,” or so it’s being said on the internets as of this article’s publication. A fivehead has made Tyra Banks a very rich woman, will it add up to success for Saleisha? Sarah She also has the “fivehead ” which, as Tyra has helpfully explained since she has one herself, is when your forehead is so big you need a bigger number to describe it. There is something compelling about her that is hard to put one’s finger on we’ll have to see if her on-screen persona matches up. I am thinking she has potential for some interesting transformations in the various themes.
If Heather from yesterday’s group should be in the dictionary next to “willowy,” Saleisha should be in the dictionary next to the word “symmetrical.” And symmetry equals beauty: it’s just science, y’all! Beyond her symmetry, and despite a slightly underwhelming presence in both her solo and group photo, of all the modelettes for this new Cycle, this is the one I am most anticipating seeing in the various photo shoots.

Saleisha She’s not really doing anything remarkable with them in either the group or solo shot, but actual Russian Natasha Galkina from Cycle Eight did very poorly in her first few photo shoots only to blossom later on in the competition. It might just be the name Mila, but am I seeing an Eastern European influence in her face? I feel like she might have the Russian face shape and features that have been very popular in the modeling world in the past few years. I think getting out from underneath those curls – cute as they are – might be key to her success in America’s Next Top Model. I wonder how the elegant bone structure we see in the group shot would look with a more severe haircut. I think, though, that she is yet another girl with good potential hidden behind a “cute” hairdo. Which, I think, shows how much of an impact this shot made on me. I actually wrote all the other assessments for this installment before remembering I forgot Lisa. So with that fierceness fresh in our minds, let’s see how the new crop measures up. Put on your sunglasses you are about to be blinded by the modeling hotness. Once again, here is the group shot for the season for your close perusal as we critique this last group of five.Īnd here is Tyra’s take on the metallic theme.
In case you were wondering why the girls are all wrapped in tin foil in their group shot, we now know: the theme for the shot was “the future.” And what does Tyra look like in the future? Click through to find out and to read the last set of model reviews. This season, she continues her policy of ensuring we have a Tyra photo in the style of the girls’ shoot in order to see how the master handled the theme.
As any America’s Next Top Model fan knows, Tyra never asks a modelette to do something she wouldn’t do herself – or at least hasn’t in the past already done. We are going to scrutinize the final five modelettes to see which one might have that special something the judges will be looking for.Īnd as an added bonus for this final installment, we have a special new shot of Tyra Banks. Today is our third and final installment of our review of the photos of the thirteen finalists for Cycle Nine of America’s Next Top Model.
