  • #AsNTM3 Asia’s Next Top Model Cycle 3: Episode 8 – Amiciness Picks

    This week on Asia’s Next Top Model Cycle 3, the remaining models were women on a mission in their photo shoot. And they’re finally out of the studio: on location in different parts of the city of Singapore! Who succeeded and who failed in their mission? Here is my own call out order:

    1. Barbara

    H to T. Head to toe modeling. Well, strictly speaking her right hand could still be positioned better, and her neck is a bit strained, but that’s just nitpicking. Overall, B is looking more and more expensive shoot after shoot. The gold background complimented her styling, which was flawless. I just wish she didn’t have two of the same bracelets on. Or those bracelets on for that matter. The bounce of the skirt was just heavenly especially the slight peek at her left leg. Astonishing. Bravo Barbara!

    2. Tahlia

    I have to wonder why the frame is tighter on this photo than the other girls’. Was this cropped, to hide an awkward lower body pose? Or was it intentionally shot this way? If you look at all the photos side by side, this is the odd one out. Either way, Tahlia is serving a glamorous beauty shot. Her hair is soft and smooth and she’s loving it. Is it woman on a mission? Uhh maybe. I’m not quite sure what her mission is. However, this is Tahlia’s best photo so far, miles better than last week.

    3. Gani

    I am quite puzzled why this particular location was chosen for Gani’s shoot. I stared at it for quite a number of minutes but I got nothing. Anyway, as usual, Gani is giving us fierce, and she looks like she’s on her way to her next espionage mission. I do wonder though if she can give us softer looks for a change. All I see are angles (and bad photo editing, sorry not sorry).

  • Here are my top ten picks for this year’s Eurovision Song Contest. Fingers crossed that all of them score high on the finals scoreboard. (Read my previous Eurovision post for my picks 20-11.)

    10. Austria
    The Makemakes — I’m Yours

    This sounds like a classic rock ballad from yesteryear. That’s a good thing considering this sound is sort of making a comeback on the airwaves, with the popularity of Sam Smith and Hozier among many. Will this song win? Probably not. But I’m expecting this to at least be on the left side of the scoreboard come finals.
