  • In what is probably their best photo shoot so far, the girls had to flash their attractive, flirty Closeup white smiles. Monika, who got Best Photo for this photo shoot, won a commercial campaign for Closeup Diamond Attraction. But who topped and who flopped this week? This is my own call out order:

    I mentioned on Twitter that these three photos above are campaign-ready. I can picture a toothpaste ad campaign for any of these photos.

    1. Melissa

    I don’t understand how this was only 4th in the judges’ ranking. It’s fun, flirty, fierce. A lot of fans, including me, definitely feel that the judges are underestimating her modelling skills.

    2. Monika

    The smile is so natural, and it tells a story. The hair flip works on this photo. But she needs to experiment more with her poses if she wants to win this competition.

    3. Barbara

    She’s in full-on flirt mode. This is the move you pull when the guy you like says a joke and you act like it’s the funniest thing in the world just to get his attention. Her body language and her smile are great.

This week, the girls are flaunting their Closeup smiles for the camera. “It’s gonna be the toughest decision so far,” says Georgina. If you could also recall from the cycle preview at the start of episode 1, this episode is probably where we see Amanda cursing at (one of) the judges. I’m stoked!

And will win this cycle’s fabulous prizes: a Subaru XV STI car, a campaign for TRESemme, a cover and spread for Harper’s Bazaar Singapore, and a modelling contract with Storm Models Management in London.

    We asked you who among the girls portrayed their best passionate self in their Shanghai Beauty photo shoot… And the results are in. The winner, by an enormous margin, like beyond Kelvin-scale level, is… Monika.

  • On Asia’s Next Top Model Cycle 3 this week, the girls’ makeup skills were challenged, and they had to pose in a passionate photo shoot with everyone’s new favorite male model William. The girls had to show chemistry with their male companion and emote with fierceness and passion. This is my call out order based on how I feel they fared:

    1. Tahlia

    Black Widow, baby! You can really see her resemblance to Scarlett Johansson in this photo. Her come-hither look is so mesmerizing; her eyes draw you in. Plus that collar tug is saying that she’s in control of her man. I’m glad Tahlia has been giving us great photos so far as she’s one of the, if not the most, stunning faces this cycle.

    2. Monika

    Tugging on his collar. Check. Placing his hand on her leg. Check. Pulling his hair with gusto. Check. This is definitely one hot photo. The body was conveying desire and lust in spades, but the face needed more work.

    3. Aimee

    I imagine the story here is Aimee is the girlfriend that’s super in-love, while William is the boyfriend that’s slowly losing interest. I love the body language she’s showing with the arched back and the almost-kiss.

  • Who’s that male model in #AsNTM3 Asia’s Next Top Model Cycle 3: Episode 4?

    Due to insistent public demand!

    After countless hours of research and social media stalking, I now know that cute male model’s name. He might be the most searched name last night. Everybody was asking: Who was that male model? What is William’s full name? Even the almighty Google can’t answer these questions.

    Well, now I have the answer to all your burning questions. IT. WILL. BLOW. YOUR. MIND. Drum roll please…
