And the winner is...

Remember how it all started? No? A little reminder:




Well, we finally arrived at the end of the road. Two incredibly talented young girls have been in the running to find out who becomes the first ever winner of Pearl.Models. The mix of contestants this cycle has been so amazing! I didn't know how many amazing girls and boys are out there climbing there way up to the modeling elite, in Dollywood. But you guys just blew me away. I remember the first task and your sceneries stood out so much. I dare to say that you are almost complete opposites.
On the one hand we have Marte, who has shown us high fashion and drama, drama, drama[in a VERY good way] throughout this whole time.
Then we have Ioana, the quirky and more feminine one who used to put a smile on our faces when we had a look at her work.

You guys are true topmodels! Both of you have managed to wow us from week to week. Won so many tasks and always out your all into your sceneries. I more than proud of you and more than happy that I chose you out of all the girls and boys who applied. You made this experience so special and enjoyable. Thank you for that!

Marte:
You are androgynous. You are mysterious. You are such an interesting person to talk to.
I can see your love of art in everything you. Wowing us week after week, it was clear that you would make it to the very top of this competition. I always loved how you put so much of yourself into your work. Without seeing your dolls face I would have been able to tell it was you who made this scenery.Your portfolio is very cohesive and your dramatic make up was didn't hinder you from showing us a soft and romantic side of you. I didn't thought that you still have space left to develop, cause you started out so strong and won the first two tasks!
Here is some of your work:















Ioana:
My little red head. I loved your hair from the very beginning. Made me think about how you are as a person and as a model. What I saw is an adorable girl, which has so much passion for what she does. You listened to us and every time we weren't sure about a scenery you proved us better next week. Your dreamy, romantic, yet strong work helped you to fight your way to the final. Your final tasks? They were beautiful. You showed us so much of your personality and it was mirrored throughout your sceneries all this time. Honestly. I thought you were a one note. Not capable of impressing us, but girl I'm glad I was wrong!
Here is some of your work:








You both truly are two one of a kind contestants. I know, doesn't really make sense, but still! I love you and I am so happy that you two are the ones who are standing as the last, after our journey of more than half a year! Can you believe it? I can't. And I won't and I don't want to believe that everything is over by now. Just remember that both of you are amazing, lovely, just extraordinary girls who would have deserved to get the crown. But only one can and I don't have to tell you how close this was! But in the end it was clear that only you can be the winner...




























Ioana!!!!

Yes. Right. YOU ARE THE WINNER OF PEARL.MODELS!!! You have created some of the most stunning sceneries during the last cycle. Have always been positive. I don't know what it is, but there's a spark in you and everything you create that just makes me love it! You truly deserve to be called ' The Pearl who shined out!


But we don't want to forget our incredible....




Marte

Kasia alias Undamyumbrellla commented on one of your sceneries saying that it is the best one she has ever seen. Do I have to say more? No. But I do. I don't want you to be sad or disappointed in you. There is nothing to be sad about. You have been an amazing contestant and even with your little English you were able to tell a whole story, that way just breath-taking. You have crated a few of my favorite sceneries ever! I hope you continue your modeling and kick some ass in other competitions. You surely have what it takes!



Thanks to everyone who was supporting our contestents, commenting their sceneires and jus stayed activ ein the club, at times I wasn't!
The next cycle will start soon. In fact, tomorrow :D. I announce the last 6 contestants and the first task! Be prepared for another amazing journey. But don't forget to congratulate our lucky winner and runner up!

I need a cup of tea now. See you soon little raccoon!

Love you all!
Melinda
