Previously on Tengaged's Next Top Model, prior to the challenge, TNTM Winner and former judge Lily Mincey dropped by the model house to give some words of wisdom to the girls currently in the competition, which included calling some of the girls out on their tardiness at the previous photo shoots. Shortly afterwards, pressures of the competition got too much for Siri, with her ultimately deciding to quit the competition. At that week's challenge, the girls participated in a runway show for none other than legendary American designer, Tommy Hilfiger. Many of the girls struggled to give the 'Tommy' look during the show, but Taylor stole the show, winning her second runway challenge of the season. At that week's photo shoot, the girls posed for controversial designer Jeremy Scott, modelling outrageous couture. Opinions were divided at panel about most of the photos, but once again Taylor stood out, and earned herself her first first call-out. Marissa and Sienna landed in the bottom two for their poor facial expressions and poses respectively, but were both spared in light of Siri's premature departure. Now only 10 girls remain, who will be eliminated tonight?
Just a reminder about the Top Model House in which you can interact with one another, and effectively create the storyline to your cycle. Although it won't effect eliminations per say, a Supermodel MUST have some personality, and that's what we want to see here. Being active in the house shows both interest and passion for the game, so I would love it if you gave it your best shot. I've left the link below for you all.
+ + CHALLENGE + +
This week we will be reverting back to a photo shoot challenge. In the modelling industry, one of the most controversial aspects is the art of modelling nude tastefully, so that is something I want to test you girls on today. For your challenge this week, you must submit a photo where the model is either partially or fully nude in the photograph.Your nipples can be exposed or covered, it's up to you; All that I'm looking for is a beautiful photograph. The girl who in my eyes submits the best photo will be rewarded the win, and will earn themselves a special prize as usual.
+ + PHOTO SHOOT + +
For your shoot this week, for the first time in the competition you will be shooting BEAUTY SHOTS. This week you will be posing for NUXE, a Parisian skincare line which is one of the fastest-growing and most popular cosmetic lines in France at the moment. You will be modelling one of their most recognisable and esteemed products, their Dry Oil Huile Prodigieuse, an anti-ageing oil spray, which can be used for the face, body and hair.
You will all be shooting mock beauty campaigns, showcasing one of their most famous products. In light of the product's colour, the theme for this shoot is 'gold' and I will be photoshopping gold paint on to each of your photos, to resemble the golden spray of the product. The photos that you submit don't have to include a golden colour scheme to them, as I will be editing them but of course you are more than welcome to search for shots of that colour. Below, I have left a link to the Nuxe website, where they detail their core values for the brand, so you will earn bonus points if you are able to include one of their three heritage values throughout your photo.
REQUIREMENTS:
+ Must be a beauty shot (shoulders/waist up).
+ Photos from ANTM seasons will not be tolerated under any circumstances.
+ Photos from previous TNTM seasons will be penalised, however as this game has been going on for so long, I will let you know if a photo has been used previously, and allow you time to change your photograph.
+ No runway photos will be tolerated under any circumstances unless specified.
If you are having trouble finding high fashion photos either:
1. Search for editorials from fashion magazines such as Vogue, Paper, Dazed & Confused, Marie Claire etc.
2. Search for fashion models such as Carmen Kass, Frida Gustavsson, Barbara Palvin, Sasha Pivovarova, Fei Fei Sun, Maria Borges etc.
3. Search for designers such as MaxMara, Valentino, Fendi, Dolce & Gabbana, Stella McCartney etc.
+ + VOGUE GIRL + +
Vogue Girl is always a controversial part of the competition, and is often the difference between staying in the competition and going home. Each week, a poll will be posted with all of the girls entered in it for the public to vote on. The winner of the poll will have a significantly less chance of going home that week as well as in the competition as a whole. Last cycle it was often the saving grace for some girls.
I do the Vogue Girl polls as it allows me to not only see who is popular with the public (which is important as a role model), but if choosing to spam, shows your heart and dedication for this competition, something which I greatly appreciate. Once again, the result of this poll DOES and WILL have an effect on eliminations, so I urge you all to take it seriously.
Last week was an utter disappointment so I really hope to see the numbers increase for this next week.
Taylor, as part of your prize for winning last week's challenge, you have earned yourself a significant advantage going into this week's poll. You now have the ability to remove 4 girls from the poll, ultimately giving you a better chance at winning, and securing your spot for next week. The girls who you choose to remove will be automatically removed from the poll below.
+ + DEADLINE + +
The deadline for both the challenge and the photo shoot is 11:59pm EST, Monday the 6th March. Any photos not posted by this point, or posted after the deadline will be heavily penalised.
Sienna's Challenge:
"I think the hardest part about a nude photoshoot is being able to present the model in a way which isn't overtly seductive. This week, I wanted to show a side of it that is often overlooked these days and show that you don't have to be naked AND seductive to have a good shoot!" http://www.sinaimg.cn/dy/slidenews/3_img/2014_29/59541_325376_152963.jpg
Sienna's Photoshoot:
"For this photoshoot, I know that we don't have to incorporate strong pieces of gold but I still wanted to pay homage to what Nuxe stands for. Taking inspiration from the core value of nature, I used a beauty shot that hits nature *flips hair* "on the nose". I'm showing liveliness, smooth skin and the epitome definition of what a beauty shot should encompass. I'm feeling it~!" http://cdn.trendhunterstatic.com/thumbs/natural-beauty-book.jpeg
