Hilary: *joins her girls* Hey ladies. I guess it's time once again to put someone in. It sucks because the girl I send in will most likely go home as Maryna would still be the only girl with four and she'd be against two teams of two. Vlada, I think it's safe to say that you're in because you were phenomenal this week. You really showed versatility and for me, you were the best this week. Aymeline, I do think you were the worst on our team this week. You struggled to bring something that fit Aldo and you didn't sell the shoes. But you have also taken one of the best shots of the cycle with your lust shot. But is that one shot clouding my vision of you? Alina, you were good this week. Not bad, not amazing and I feel like that is the problem with you. You're always strong, but never brilliant. So who do I send in? Unfortunately, Alina, it's going to have to be you this week. Go in there, fight for this, and come back stronger than ever.
*Confessional* I know that Alina is going home this week. There is no way Maryna will drop Liya down to one girl. I think it would be smart of her because clearly, my team isn't winning the way it is as the only time we won was in week one. If she drops Liya down to one girl, do you think that that one girl will win every challenge from now on? There is no way. It just makes for easy pickings down the road if Liya only has one girl left. AND THE GIRL GOING IN IS FATIMA. Come on, I just feel bad for all the girls that have been sent home before her because clearly she's the weakest girl left.

*Maryna looks through the contestants portfolio's, looking extremely indecisive*
Maryna: Hello girls. I didnt think I would find myself in this position today. Its not an easy one to be in.
Alina: I like your look a lot. But I feel like you dont stand out, I dont remember your photos. And thats a problem, there are so many models in this industry and you could do fine just being another regular model but in this competition we are looking for a top name. I am not sure I see that star quality in you.
Fatima: Here you are once again. Im starting to feel like your Stephanie 2.0. You clearly have potential but are you pushing enough in your photos? To be blunt despite the score I gave you if I lined up all the photos this week, including my girls, I would actually put you in the top half. But with your history is that enough to save you?
Fatima. Id rather see a girl improve than remain at a stalemate. Congratulations, you will be staying this week.
Alina, I am sorry. But my problem with you is that you aren't standing out to me, we are a couple of weeks into the competition and I can barely remember any of your photos. But I really do think you have potential and can make it big, this just wasn't the way. I am sorry but you will not be the face.

Client: None
Hello ladies! This week you will be walking with aspiring fashion designers for a runway show. The theme the designers have for your looks is nature inspired, so coaches it is up to you to pick a theme relating to nature and that must be consistent across all of your girls looks. Goodluck!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maryna's Directions
Okay girls so we are all still in this far in and I want to keep it like that. So the theme for our looks is going to be the Ocean. So I want to see shades of blue,white, even green (think seaweed) or something multi-colored (coral reefs) And when it comes to the outfits I would like to see a lot of flowy dresses, like the ocean waves. And I will also allow swimsuits. I picked a broad category for you girls because we are the biggest group left. Goodluck team!

Hilary: *sees Fatima walk through the door and just rolls her eyes*
*Confessional* It sucks to lose a girl, but I'm not surprised. Fatima has been one of the weakest links every week, so I would have done the same thing and kept her because clearly she just can't translate onto film. This week I think my team has a great shot at winning because both Aymeline and Vlada were two of the strongest runway walkers during casting. I hope that they can pull it off this week and stop the Maryna train.
*joins her girls* Okay ladies. We lost Alina last week and I'm upset about it, but we can't change the past and we need to work towards the task at hand which is runway. Now the theme is nature this week. I thought of the four major elements Earth, Air, Water, and Fire and chose Air for you two to represent this week. I want to see very light fabrics, maybe some sheer elements that are very flowy. Think of pastel blues or even whites to really bring some lightness to the runway. Good luck ladies.

Liya: *hugs Fatima* Whew, I am so glad to have you back! Now, time for our time to shine this week. For our theme, I was thinking we would go for a "From the Garden" floral theme. I was thinking of going slightly abstract and couture with this, so go for unique outfits, even if they might not be completely obvious. Perhaps even draw inspiration from specific flowers if you want, like white carnations, blue roses, etc. Good luck! *high fives her girls*

Liya: *in confessional* When my girls first presented outfit choices, I was a little confused and disappointed because I wasn't sure if they followed a common theme...but then I realized they did in an abstract and less obvious way, just like I had asked. They both went for mid-length, sleeved dresses with infused floral printing, which I hadn't even considered before so I have to applaud my girls for being creative. Oh, and I'll applaud them for their walks too of course, I think they'll look great out there.

Hilary: *Confessional* I think this could be our week. I feel like Vlada and Aymeline are two of the most runway-ready girls we have left in the competition and they both took my theme of air and interpreted it very well. Vlada gave a flowy dress with blue and white representing the sky and clouds while Aymeline nailed the color and fabrics. I think we have a very good shot this week.

Photoshoot Judging + Winning Team
(Gonna get it all done in one post)
Judging
Team Maryna
Liya: Kendra looked very beautiful as always out there on the runway. She had a good stride, good face, and did a good job of working the dress...but everything was just good, not quite great. Natasha reminded me of a mermaid out there in a way, she was very elegant, ethereal, and enchanting. Her bone structure was incredible and she worked the dress very well, though her hips seemed enormous and she did look mature. Kate...well, Kate proved her inconsistency even further because she flopped again. She looked pretty, but that's about it; she lacked the elegance and poise of a runway model. I think Kasia had a nice walk, but she was very forgettable. The outfit looked nice on her, but she had a lazy eye and a crooked stride.
Hilary: Kendra, I'll start with you this week. I think you're good on the runway, but nothing spectacular. I feel like the dress you were given was awful. The material is not flattering and that jewel is just tacky. But even though the dress is ugly, you are the model and have to make it look amazing and your didn't do that. I feel like you moved your arms too much and didn't give anything powerful. Natasha, I feel like I see more air than water out of this, but your walk was great. You had a powerful strut and the big swinging arms work here since it's moving the dress. You had the perfect sway in the hips, but I do think facially, you look a lot older than you are. Kate, we learned that you are not a runway girl in week one and I knew it wasn't going to go well for you. Not only does your body not suit the runway, but your walk doesn't make up for it either. Sometimes there is a girl who is a little bigger, but she serves it up on the runway. You look timid and apprehensive and we know you are nothing like that in person. It's way more pageantry than runway model. Kasia, I think you have good walk, but there is something off in this walk. I feel like you took a risk wearing flats, but it didn't pay off in your favor. It made your legs look shorter than they are and the walk just felt heavy. It wasn't graceful and smooth like the ocean.
Team Liya
Maryna: Starting with Fatima, I think she did good. I love this cool effortless attitude you had while walking the runway, I loved those sunglasses too however I do think the walk itself could use more grace. I think you did about the same Joan. Your legs looked amazing and you had a good stride, but I don't like the arms. They look stiff, it doesnt look natural. Overall you both did great but not amazing.
Hilary: You were stiff as a board, Fatima. You seriously just need to loosen up on set, on the runway, anywhere and it will help you loads. I don't like how one foot is not going in front of the other like it's supposed to and I just don't think the dress is flattering. It really accentuates your bigger hips. You're a gorgeous, stunning girl, Fatima, but I just don't think you're taking our critiques on board. Joan, you were better than Fatima, but I still don't think you were fantastic. I thought you were going to come out here and stomp the runway like you've done it a thousand times, but I didn't see that. Your legs look great, but from the waist up, you had the same problem as Fatima. You were so stiff. I feel like you went for an intense expression, but it honestly just looks stern and uncomfortable. You can do better, Joan.
Team Hilary
Maryna: I have to admit your team really brought it Hilary. Vlada has such a perfect runway body, she's as thin as a rail and the clothes just float on her. That dress looks so adorable on her and her walk is elegant but also strong as well. Aymeline also did really well, the face is a bit stern but her stride is flawless. That dress looks like it was created just for her and she is owning it. Quite impressive overall.
Liya: Vlada looked so beautiful out there, very soft and airy like your theme called for. The dress looked quite nice on her and she had a good stride, though she was rather tense like she was holding her breath. Aymeline was also pretty strong on the runway and the dress looked splendid on her, also very flowy and airy though I almost see Team Maryna's theme more. Anyway, she had a perfect stride and looked beautiful, though her expression was a little too alert for my liking. Overall great job for both girls though.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maryna: Alright ladies so its a little later than usual today and im sure you girls are as tired as we are. So, lets get this on the road. The winning team this week is.......................

*Maryna joins her girls* Alright girls. I'd like to say we should have won this week but i'm not totally surprised. Only Natasha is really a runway girl. And speaking of you Natasha, girrrrrrrrrl. You worked it. Best of the week. You are definitely safe. Kendra, I was surprised by how average your performance was. You were good but not great. However you are safe. So its come down to Kate and Kasia. Kasia I liked your walk, but when you were practicing you were picking outfits that didn't really match our look and then when you would wear the right outfits your walk was just average. Kate I think we all saw this coming. I actually don't think you were that bad, your face was beautiful at the least. But yeah you were the weakest. But the past three weeks you have been amazing while Kasia you have just sort of coasted. Kate you are safe, Kasia, I am sorry but you will be going into elimination. I hope you make it back and this gives you the drive you need to be amazing. *hugs her*

Liya: *hugs her girls* Well ladies, this week was disappointing not to win but team Hilary did do very well so I am not surprised. I do think you both were a little more harshly critiqued than I would have gone and overall you both did well, but I also agree that neither of you were amazing and neither of you quite lived up to my expectations. Joan, I really expected you to slay this week and I think you had a lot more to give than you did. Fatima, I also think you could have done a little better but I honestly think you were very good out there, a smidge better than Joan honestly. However, the other judges did not agree and Joan has the stronger history, so unfortunately I am going to have to send you in again, Fatima. I really hope you can come out of there though because I know you have more to give. *hugs her*

Since bdon said she wont be back on until tomorrow night there's no point in dragging this out, so im going to post the next shoot so that everyone except Kasia and Fatima can work on it, that way when she comes back we have most things done. Client: Interview Magazine (Shot by Ellen Von Unwerth) (This was mean't to be a finale shoot since it doesn't need directions, but since bdon is away there's no point in doing a shoot that needs direction so we are doing it early instead) This week you will be shooting a spread for Interview magazine. The shoot is going to be shot by the well known, and one of my personal favorite fashion photographers, Ellen Von Unwerth! *the girls cheer* You will be shot in her signature style. As you should know her photography focuses on erotic feminimity. Its very raw, sexual, but also glamorous and vintage. Her images are striking so I expect you girl to really kill it this week. I will be providing a few examples of her works to you so you know what is expected. ExampleExampleExample
