    Asia’s Next Top Model Cycle 4 Episode 2 Recap

    , ,

    Amiciness is going to recap Asia’s Next Top Model Cycle 4 episode 2… at a later date. Unfortunately I can’t watch the episode live with you guys as I’m currently watching the Manila run of the critically-acclaimed musical Les Miserables at the Solaire Theatre.

    While you’re waiting for this recap to be updated, you can check out my AsNTM4 Episode 1 recap if you missed it. You can also check out how I ranked last week’s Bubble Series photos.

    Also check out MITH Magazine’s third issue featuring Asia’s Next Top Model Cycle 3 alum Amanda Chan on the cover:

    Asia's Next Top Model Cycle 4 Episode 2 - Girls at the challenge
    Sneak peek at Episode 2

    Since you’ll be watching the episode earlier than I am, I’m putting a twist on this week’s poll. I’m not going to ask you for whose photo you liked best, I’m asking you whose photo you liked LEAST. Who among the #AsNTM4 girls had the WORST trampoline photo in Episode 2?

    Vote in the poll above, and let’s see if we have the same thoughts about the girls’ photos later this week. 🙂

    UPDATE: I’m going to be watching the Asia’s Next Top Model Cycle 4 Episode 2 replay later tonight at 10:00 p.m. 🙂

    AsNTM Cycle 3’s Amanda Chan on the Cover of MITH Magazine!

    , ,

    Asia’s Next Top Model Cycle 3 alum Amanda Chan who represented the Philippines (#PhilippinesOnTop!) last cycle is featured on the cover of this month’s issue of MITH Magazine.

    Based in Los Angeles and New York, MITH is a fashion and entertainment magazine. They cover the latest stories on fashion and style with the goal of empowering young women all over the world. For their latest issue they have featured a strong, young woman who is continuing her pursuit of the dream to become the next top model, Asia’s Next Top Model’s, and our very own, Amanda Chan.

    Remember young Amanda in AsNTM Cycle 3 when she was all cute and awkward when she couldn’t express how to be angry on cue? I loved her little “outburst” at the judging panel especially fueled by the harsh comments by Daniel Mananta. And who can forget this beautiful photo:

    Her experience on the show certainly gave her not just a ton of exposure to the fashion industry but also a great boost of confidence to prove that, although she didn’t win her cycle, she has all the potential to become a top model someday.

    I never thought that I could be a model, but due to my new-found self confidence, one of my career goals is to become a really-well known model by traveling the world and modeling in as many places as I can. In 2016 you’ll definitely see me modeling a lot more (with some big projects coming up hopefully), as well as completing university!

    I wish you good luck Amanda. You have a bright future ahead of you, not just in the fashion industry, but in life in general.

  • Asia’s Next Top Model Cycle 4 Episode 1 Power Rankings

    , ,

    Last Wednesday we witnessed the return of our favorite reality modeling competition, Asia’s Next Top Model. The girls channeled their 60’s groove recreating the iconic photographs from fashion photographer Melvin Sokolsky‘s Bubble Series published in Harper’s Bazaar magazine. This time Filipino photographer to the stars (and equally photogenic) BJ Pascual and the 13 remaining girls brought us back to the heyday of 60’s fashion. Read on for my Asia’s Next Top Model Cycle 4 Episode 1 power rankings.
