Final Task!! + Next cycle!

Our two beautiful finalists. This will be the last task for this cycle. And it will be a lot you'll have to do :D.
 I think I make it short, because otherwise I will get too emotional.

Your task will be divided in 3 parts.

1. Part: Once again you have to show us your commercial side and create a commercial for a new Covergirl's lip product. It can be a lipstick, lip gloss or a lip liner. Make sure that you are easy, breathy and beautiful and that you sell the product the best you can. You should make a beauty shot and add the name of your product as well as a commercial(not too long, maximum two boxes in the comments section). Please make it clear which part your commercial is and which part the description!

2. Part: Then...
Part two is connected with part three. You have to make a scenery which describes how you used to be. You can show us how you started in this competition or how you were as a person when you were a child. I want you to take this task personal and try to convey a specific emotion. It can be anything you want.

3. Part: Now...
So as you may have already guessed, the 3. part will be about how you feel now and how you see yourself. You should put in everything you learned about atmosphere and expression. You can make it an editorial or a story with a beginning and an end. Be creative and show us that you deserve to be the first winner of Pearl.Models! It's really close, guys!

If you have any questions feel free to ask me!

DEADLINE: The 4. of July 2011

If you need more time please contact me!

Good Luck and may the best one win!

Now for the next cycle, there will be a twist, as I already told you! There will be 12 contestants. But some of them don't even need to apply! I will choose 6 of them before I put up the auditions! Means that if you want me to visit your suite and have a look at your sceneries, you should post your name either here or under the post I made in the club! PLUS: Three of the lucky ones will be old contestants, who had to leave too soon! If you are an old contestant(and were NOT under the final 5!!!) you might have the chance to come back for this cycle, but be fast, because I already have some people in mind!

I think that sounds quite promising, doesn't it? I can't wait to see what all the new talents come up with :). Hurry up, if you want to have the chance to become a model for the next cycle!(I'm currently working on the new prizes, which will be even better then the old ones!)

PS: If we didn't choose you to be one of the first 6 contestants, that doesn't mean that you do not still have the chance to be under the top 12! You can still apply after I posted the auditions ; ]

UPDATE: I will 'scout' for the first six models until Tuesday the 21st!

Love, Melinda!

Elimination 9!

We finally arrived. After this elimination we will have our top 2. The first top 2 of Pearl.Models ever! Marte, Elle, Ioana, I just wanted to say thanks for being such wonderful contestants. I couldn't have thought of anyone better! And though one is leaving right before the finale, you should now that I am proud of you and that you already are winners. It was so hard this week. You can't imagine. And though my heart says no, because I don't want to see anyone leaving, I had to make this decision.

The first one who made it to the finale is...

Our first Finalist!

 Marte!

Congratulation! Our first finalist!I don't have to tell you how amazing you were throughout the whole competition, but this week was something special! Our lovely guest judge Mel said that she loved your scenery and you are her favorite. I think that she would love to see you auditioning for MelsModels next cycle. And I don't know if you saw it, but Kasia[Undamyumbrellla] commented on your scenery and said that it is the best one she has ever seen. And she has seen a lot! Marte, you can be more than proud of you! I love how every single scenery has this little extra something that is so high fashion and so you. Still you showed us that you can be versatile and commercial. You won the job at Kharma and I am sure you will appear in magazines and on the runway as well.

Now on to our bottom two.

You were by far two of my favorite contestants throughout the entire cycle. This is the toughest decision in Pearl.Models short history and I have to say that I had to think about it quite a long time. And in the end I listened to what the judges said and I just had to agree with them. I will evaluate your whole body of work, not only the last task, but everything you've done!

Elle:

When she first auditioned

 You are the one who has grown by far the most during this competition. I remember your first scenery, when you were the genie. It was cute, yea, but nothing special. I didn't know if you really had the potential in you. Then there was the task about the seven deadly sins and that was the moment I though: Finally! She showed us her true talent. From then on you continued to wow us with your sceneries and we were really impressed. But though you did a really nice job this week, the judges aren't sure if the risk you took by not incorporating too much from the actual painting payed off. Some things were quite confusing, other stunning. All in all the opinions were mixed. Your polaroid was nice and probably the best out of the bunch. That shows that you can continue on as a model even in magazines and on the runway, but are you ready to rock the final?

 Ioana:

When she first auditioned

 When I saw you I immediately fell in love with your red hair. It's amazing and it's what makes you soo special! You stood out from week to week and were on the top right from the beginning and though you started really good you were able to grow by listening to what we said. You had one of my favorite sceneries in this competition the one were you had to portray a movie genre. I loved it. The one thing I am asking myself is if you are able to create something we haven't seen before and really wow us. I know that you have it in you, but can you show it? Your polaroid was the weakest, which was really said, because you were the only one who basically had no make up and your doll was still stunning! The outfit was the thing that put you at the bottom. But on the other hand, you were the one who did the best job when it came to recreating the photo in an editorial way and managed to keep the model in you.

 So who stays and becomes a finalist of the first cycle of Pearl.Models?...

Our 2. Finalist!

Congratulations Ioana, you are the second finalist of Pearl.Models! After the last 4 months of working together you and Elle were basically on the same level and you both had your ups and downs. The reason why you are a finalist is that you were just better this week. You proved to us that you deserve it in the last moment. I can't wait to see your final entries :)


Elle! I don't even want to write it, but you are eliminated. You stunned me with your sceneries and you were so ambitious. You somehow remided me of myself. I actually don't have the words to describe what I feel right now. I just want you to move on and make me regret that I eliminated you! I have never seen someone with so much potential and you still have a long way to go. You rock girl!

Soooo, this has been a tough week, but the following ones will be even tougher, yet fun. I can't wait to post the next task and all your amazing sceneries. PLUS: I will post auditions for cycle two VERY soon, so stay tuned!

Love, Melinda
