#staytuned for the reveal of WHICH models will be offered a spot in Top Model Tumblr All Stars!
For cycle 3, the photoshoots pushed our models to the limits of fashion, modeling, and personality. Tonight I'm giving you my TOP 10 photoshoots of the season! For the most part, three models in particular snatched my attention the most, but there were also some shining gems from other models! Let's start of with number 10 on the list......
#10: ROB - Model Polaroid
Being the youngest model to join the competition, Rob had a lot to prove with his first photos of the season. With his simple background, relaxed pose, and a sickening smize, Rob's model polaroid caught our eye and earned the first "top photo" of the season.
#9: SAM - Animals Instincts
For a while in the competition, Sam was having trouble bringing out his inner model. After a model swap that forced Sam to join #TeamFawn, things started looking better. With Fawn's guidance, Sam was able to embody the slithery snake for his Animal Instincts photoshoot. The subtle photoshopping, makeup, and touch of skin all helped bring Sam's image to top model status and he almost slithered his way to the top that week!
#8: BRITTANY - Extraterrestrial
Brittany's alien photoshoot proved something that she had alluded to throughout the game: gurllllll can do some sickening makeup! From the start of the competition, Brittany's makeup skills were always on point, and her alien inspired photoshoot left us in awe. Her attention to detail, color, and concept were all shining stars in this photoshoot.
#7 TROY - Finale Editorial “DIRTY GOLD” shot
After coming back from redemption and making it to the finale, this is the last thing I expected to see from Troy. With his Angel Haze album cover inspired image, Troy embodied the original hip hop spirit of his inspiration, but then brought it to another level with his amazing artistry. With his deadly smize and face adorned with sequins and jewels, Troy turned this shot into a prized possession and helped him earn the crown of Top Model Tumblr!
#6 EASA - Finale Editorial “OEIL” Cover
Easa brought out all the stops for his finale editorial cover. Even though he shot this in a room full of clothes, all eyes are on Easa! With his sultry smize and gleaming gold blazer, Easa showed us what he does best: modeling. Out of all the covers from the finale, Easa's read the most fashion magazine to me because it had the right amount of simplicity and wow factor!
#5 EASA - “Yellow” Color Photoshoot
Number 5 goes to another shot by Easa in the same color range. After seeing this image from Easa, I knew he was a contender for the crown. Inspired by the color Yellow, Easa served athletic model realness within this shot. His sharp eye for color combinations and textures also are reasons why this is one of my favorite shots of the season. Maybe Yellow is the new black?
#4: BRITTANY - Finale Editorial “Statue” Photo
One of my favorite shots from Brittany has to be from her Finale Editorial. Posing with a statue in the background, she embodied the modelesque shape of the statue, but added her own unique edge to the image. With an angelic pose, and a knack for finding her light in this image, Brittany gave the statue behind her a run for her money. Highlighting her long legs and serving the face, Brittany's image was statuesque and top model worthy!
#3: EASA - 7 Deadly Sins “Pride” Photoshoot
During our 7 deadly sins inspired photoshoot, I had the hardest time ranking Easa. While I loved the photoshoot, I didn't feel like he totally embodied the spirit of his sin--Pride. Setting concept aside, this photoshoot is one of my faves not only because of it's simplicity, but because Easa was able to combine color and emotion into one sickening shot. Had this been for another photoshoot, it may have very well earned Top Photo!
#2 BRITTANY - Makeover Photoshoot
If there is any shot that I will remember Brittany by...it's this one! Typically being the sweet and kind girl next door, I never expected Brittany to bring out her inner bad girl. Everything about this image screams Top Model. From the pose, flash of skin, and the eerie lighting, Brittany captured the true essence of a makeover photoshoot. Not being afraid to do something unexpected, Brittany earned top photo that week for her sheer fierceness. If Brittany ever competes again, I’d love to see her alter ego bad girl diva come to life once more, just don’t snatch my wig gorl!
#1: TROY - Extraterrestrial
Ladies and Gents, this has to be my favorite photoshoot of the whole season. The photos that I consider to be top photo material are ones that can evoke emotions within the viewer, while also maintaining the model status that is needed for a fierce shot. After seeing this shot by Troy, I knew that his other competitors would start taking him more seriously. One of my favorite parts about this shot is how well it can be related to his alien inspired story about an alien who is searching for other planets that are habitable for his race. There is something alluring while still frightening about his smize, and it makes me question, can this extraterrestrial be trusted? The natural greens and browns of the scenery behind helped Troy pop with his blue dominated wardrobe and makeup. For me this cycle, Troy's shot is the best executed and most complete representation of modeling, photography, and fashion.
Join us TONIGHT! Where we reveal awards such as Miss Congeniality, Shadiest Model, and Most Improved for Cycle 3′s models of Top Model Tumblr! Head judge in charge Tumblr Tyra will reveal the Top 10 photos of the season along with past judge and model David! -Luv Tumblr Tyra
Brittany, Easa,and Troy, you all stand before me as fierce, beautiful, but most of all transformed models. Throughout the competition you have all said that you wouldn't want to be here with anyone else, and tonight your wish has been granted because somebody from "BET" will be crowned Top Model Tumblr! Each and every one of you has delivered and deserves to have a spot in the finale, BUT only one of you can win.
Before we crown a winner though, let me remind you of your prizes IF you are crowned Top Model Tumblr!
-A $30 amazon gift card, along with a $15 gift card for your mentor (Brittany/Easa)
-A crown designed by Tumblr Tyra that will be customized for the winner after our official crowning
-The opportunity to judge or participate in other aspects of Cycle 4!
With that said, the judges and I must say that this was the hardest season yet when it came to determining a winner. You all have modeling traits and qualities that are exemplary of a Top Model, so choosing one of you is extremely difficult. I wish we could crown you all Top Model, but unfortunately, only one of you will nab the title. I have one photo in my hand and this represents that model that is Top Model Tumblr.
Before announcing our winner, one of you will be eliminated and receiving third place. Third place for Cycle 3 of Top Model Tumblr goes to.....

BRITTANY! Dahling while we have loved every second of your presence here, we felt like your fellow competitors outshined you in our finale. Don't be discouraged though, because I truly believe you have something special and beautiful to offer to the world, and hopefully with this loss, you will be even more determined to slay #AllStars! Brit bows and knows best and we love you for it <3
Easa and Troy, one of you will be Top Model Tumblr! After almost a full week of deliberations, we have taken into account your past work, your finale offerings, and your public appeal. In a season of nearly all guys, it seems fitting to have two modelesque men in the finale. This was the closest final 2 ever, and you both should be extremely proud of yourselves. With that said, only one of you can win the title and crown of Top Model Tumblr!

CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR NEXT TOP MODEL TUMBLR! AND A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR MODELS, FANS, JUDGES, AND PEEPS WHO MADE THIS POSSIBLE! #staytuned for info regarding Cycle Four!
Tumblr Tyra, Tanner, Kaylee, and guest judge David give their final critiques for our TOP 3!
Up first, BRITTANY!
Tyra: Britttttaany! Holla! I am so sad that this is the last time that I’ll be critiquing you :( Anyways though, let’s get down to business. Before I go into detail, I must commend you and give you props for being the fiercest chick in a cast full of guys! You definitely showed them whats up! So let’s start with your commercial! For your commercial, I loveddd that you showed us some of your old photos and shots that you didn’t use because there are some really exceptional shots in the mix. Your commercial was witty and cute, but it seemed a little monotone for me at times. In terms of quality as well, it didn’t seem like you fully executed your concept. I wanted to see something more here…I needed a little more “oomph!” I think people would definitely respond positively to this commercial as well. So keep it up girl and remember #EveryoneLovesATop. Next up, your editorial! First of all, I love the sense of unity in terms of color coordination, especially in relation to your cover. I love all of your lines and catchphrases on the cover and I could most definitely see you using them. My only issue with the cover is that it appears to be a little cluttered. Your posing and smize is great, but I feel like all the headlines sort of take the attention away from you. On to your shots! For the most part, you look ethereal, beaming, and angelic. Your shot with the statue is probably one of my all time favorites from you and I love how you are slightly mimicking the statue in your own posing. You truly look radiant, and any girl would want to buy that outfit after seeing this shot! While I like your #prettyinpink shot, I feel like we’ve seen this look from you before. You do “sweet” amazingly BUT I wanted to see more range overall within this photoshoot. Your last shot has to be my second favorite. I love the framing and use of nature in this image, and you definitely look gorgeous and captivating. In general, in terms of modeling, I really don’t have a lot of negatives to say because you truly are giving us #GirlNextDoorGoddess. On the other hand though, my main area of critique this week would be for your fashion choices. While I love the dress and shoes, I don’t think there was enough variation in terms of your color choices and outfits. Essentially, it was “too” cohesive, and with your fellow competitors serving up four different looks, it could be your downfall. On the bright side though, overall Brittany you have delivered a fun, fierce, and fearless portfolio that has shown me that you have truly progressed and developed as a model. From BritBowsBest to your makeover photoshoot that left us gasping in awe, you have an amazing ability to connect with the camera, and I couldn’t be more proud!
Kaylee: Editorial – Hey Queen B! I have to say I was disappointed in the lack of shade in your commercial, but once I saw your top headline I was in love. I was worried you wouldn’t have enough shade to cover my requirement, but you surprised me. My personal favourites here are the archway picture and the statue picture. I think you should’ve used the archway picture as your cover as the background is the a lot less cluttered, and your smize is at its absolute best here. If you had stretched your arm just a little bit higher in the statue picture, I think it would’ve been absolutely stunning, but even without that it’s a great concept and very picturesque. While Easa was not cohesive at all, you were way too cohesive. You only used 2 outfits and very similar backgrounds along with the same relaxed facial expression. Each picture is beautiful, and you’re a very beautiful and talented model, but for the final 3? Video – So much improvement here from your last commercial! You’re talking louder, with more attitude and showing off your modeling the only way a Top Model knows how! I was so impressed with you based on improvement alone. My only critiques would be that the pictures you included in your montage were not ALL stand out amazing, as they should be to impress other would be contestants, and that your modeling was great, but began to look somewhat repetitive.
Tanner: I loved your commercial. It was witty and cute and I enjoyed seeing your past photo shoots one last time to remind us of your flexibility. For your magazine cover, I thought you looked fierce and in charge, and I like that your magazine color scheme matched your outfit. (And go you for representing another cause!) The words all over the cover could have been made a bit smaller so that we could see more you, because the words were a little overpowering. I liked that all of your shots had a unique, interesting location, but I wish the outfit would have been changed up a bit. Half of them are super cute, half of them are fierce, and that’s how you’ve been the whole competition. This final three is a tough one.
David: FIRSTLY So much better than your previous commercial. #Everyonelovesatop im dying. I like that you used your pictures from the competition. Your voice over was probably the best talking out of the 3 of you. Your modeling parts were good, but I think they could’ve been a little better. Your cover im not that crazy about. I found myself reading the headlines rather than looking at you and considering its a modeling competition that’s not a good thing. Your pose is strong but the face doesn’t match up. The photo of you standing on the ledge is great. The pose and the face match and you are looking camera dead on with that smize and its great. The photo with you next to the statue is genius! I love that you match what the it was doing and then made it fashionable. The photo by the well I love your foot up because it adds something to the pose. The one of you sitting down, I love that you didnt lose your neck because it could be very easy to do that. Your face is good in this one as well. OVERALL, I think this is a good photo spread, but the cover really needed a boost.
Up next, EASA!
Tyra: Easa dahling! I still can't get over the fact that this is the last time I'll get to see you "werk" it! So let's start off with your commercial! I know you said that you were apprehensive about speaking, but honestly I don't know why, because I'm loving your voice overs! I thought your first shady line was hilarious and the other models should look to you for advice because we all know you're sickening! I would have liked for you to have gone a little further with it though, because after your introduction of shade, you started giving us classic Easa movements and poses. While I am such a fan, and always love your voguing, strutting, and posing, I felt like it got a little repetitive and somewhat one note in this commercial. I think you could have stopped that from happening if you had switched up your outfits or changed the setting. Also, I would have appreciated more of your personality within the commercial. This being one of the only times we've seen you act/speak, it makes me want to see more! One thing is for sure though, you know how to #ServeWhileHot. Up next, your editorial! So out of all three covers, yours was my favorite this week! For starters I am loving the gold jacket in this shot, and the way you have used lighting to highlight yourself and the clothing is a sign of a great top model. The cover had the right blend of simplicity and modeling, two things you excel at! For your first shot, I just get a feeling of confusion from looking at it. I think the setting and somewhat reserved look make you seem a lot less modely than I would expect from you. I love the second shot, and I love how you were able to highlight your sickening bone structure and clavicle. There is action and emotion in this shot, and that's why I like it so much! Out of all your shots, your third image is my favorite. I really feel like we're getting the full Easa experience here. The outfit and setting work harmoniously, and I love your expression here too. We all know you're sooooo fierce, but seeing this shot shows me that you can model in other ways besides fierce. For the last shot, the quality and lighting of the image downgrades the overall effect for me. While I think you look cute, everything else seems too muted and simplified. I think you could have delivered a better shot here. In general, I feel like your photoshoot lacked the cohesion that your fellow competitors maintained.Overall though Easa, I can say with total conviction that I expected you to be here. Every week you gave us something new and interesting with color, concept, and modeling. While you didn't always nail the photoshoot concepts, your shots were all exceptional and very exemplary of a model. There is no doubt that you are the best walker, and quite possibly the best poser as well. I've loved having you in this competition and I am so proud of your evolution throughout the game!
Kaylee: Easa Min-Swe you have done a fabulous job in the game so far and I have to say that this editorial is gorgeous. Your lighting and modeling are always on point. With regards to fashion I think you’re definitely ahead of the other two. I’m glad you could show us this fun-loving side of you - it brings out your diversity, and no two photos look alike, but that’s unfortunately the problem. There is absolutely no cohesion in your shoot, the only thing in common is you, and that’s not enough when it comes to an editorial. Of your photos there are only two that I don’t love, the windowsill picture and the orange turtleneck, these seem on a lower level than your others based on staging, framing, and lighting. The green hoodie shot is my absolute favourite, your neck is elongated along with your fingers and the serene expression on your face coupled with the beautiful color composition makes for a gorgeous picture. Your cover photo is spectacularly masculine model elegance. Incredible job this time around, we couldn’t have expected any less. Video – I’m sorry but this was so awkward to watch. Your dance shots worked in your last video, but this time around it seemed a lot less effortless and left me wondering why… The tiny bit of shade was enough to tide me over for my required “bad bitch” factor, and your voice sent chills over me, but the angle you shot your face was uncomfortable and the pauses were too long.
Tanner: You started off the competition the same way you ended it… professionally. What I’ve enjoyed most about you this cycle is that your shoots are always high fashion and always look professional in my opinion. Now, for your final looks. Your commercial was a bit simple, but you served consistent modeling throughout. Loved the slight shade at the beginning, and #servewhilehot is about to start trending, very clever. Your magazine cover was simple as well but this time it was in a good way, because it made us focus on you. (“Fur is Just Pre-Leather” tho? Yes.) As for your pictures, I liked the simple concept of bright colors against neutral backgrounds, but again, simple. I commend you, however, for always having the most creative poses. Overall, your final submission was simple. And that could go either way, depending on what your competitors deliver.
David: Ill start with the commercial. It was a little awkward with all the cuts and random poses.You had good moments, but some parts lasted longer than others and I felt that disrupted the flow. Plus you didn’t get the brand name in there that much. The photos are good but they don’t really go together that much, and they should be cohesive seeing as its a photo spread. The cover is probably my favorite, It looks like it could actually be on the cover of some magazine. I like the outfit of the orange overalls and blue shirt, but the face doesnt really seem model it looks your friend just said something shady and then took the picture while you were giving them a face of disapproval. I do like the picture of you in the green hoodie, but I think it needs more light because we can barely see your eyes in it. The leg in the air is completely different from anything we have seen before, I keep going back and forth between liking it and thinking its the craziest thing ever and then not liking it and thinking its too risky. But considering its a spread I think its a good thing to keep people on their toes. The orange sweater look is good, but once again the face isnt there, you are basically closing your eyes in this. I think you did well but im not sure if this is at finale level.
and last up, TROY!
Tyra: Hay Troy Hay! Once again I am saddened that this will my last time critiquing you, but a judge has gotta do what a judge has gotta do! Let’s start off with the commercial! F#$KING hilarious! Liiiiiike you had me at that slo mo montage. You picked some great shots and #shittymodels to display throughout. Back to you though, I really liked the general flow and ease of this commercial and I feel like it’s something totally new that I haven’t seen from anyone in the competition. You were shady, but in a fun and magnetic way. The moments where you do model though are great as well, especially when you were “finding your light.” In general you gave us a high quality, humorous, and personable commercial that I’m sure viewers would love. My only issue here though is that you have gone over the designated time limit, so it may affect your chances of making it on top. Now for your editorial, once again, I am extremely surprised and proud of your final showing. Before going into the modeling, I loved how you were able to incorporate something that is extremely personal to you and turn it into fashion! For your cover, I think it looks professional, not too busy, and also colored well. I am definitely getting some preppy vibes here and I like them, but I would have a appreciated a little more push from you. This is the cover of course, and you want it to pop! I love your HAIM inspired shoot, and I feel like there is something very pristine yet fashionable in this shot. Your pose, lay out, and use of props definitely enhance your story in this shot. Next up, your Angel Haze shot is striking and interesting. I liked the risk you took in terms of makeup and accessories, and it shows me that you put a lot of thought and effort into these looks. Your Amy Winehouse inspired photo is my least favorite of the three. For me it borders almost on too simplistic, and your photoshopping in this shot is just a little meh. Your modeling and smizing are good, but everything else around you is somewhat bland. For your last shot, I feel a sense of ease and freedom from your “lights” inspiration, and while you’re not looking directly at the camera your profile, setting, and editing effects all bring your image together. In general, this editorial had the best mix of fashion and story, and I think that it turned out so well because of how passionate you are about music, and now hopefully modeling. Overall, I’d be lying if I said that I expected to see you in the finale. You started out pretty busted, but after you came back from redemption and listened to our critiques, we could see a transformation occurring! Furthermore, your effort, fashion knowledge, and winning personality are all reasons why you are a contender for the crown, BUT have you done enough to win?
Kaylee: BOY TOY NAMED TROY, you’ve truly been an inspiration this cycle. Comparing these to your first few submissions shows the incredible amount of progress you’ve made and that’s really the whole point of the game. Your cover is a fantastic shot, and your concept is absolutely wonderful. Your personality definitely shone through to us. My personal favourites are the “Lights” and “Back to Black” shots. For “Lights” you took a feminine approach and created a sense of tranquility. In contrast, for “Back To Black” you changed up the pose to make it more masculine, while still keeping with the theme in tribute to Amy. “Dirty Gold” was also visually stunning. I have very few complaints here, only that you could have chosen more modelesque CD covers that could have showed off your progress even more, however you made it werk with the covers you chose and I am so proud of you for werking it this far!! Video – I fucking loved it. You gave me everything I asked for with shade and “bad bitch” factor. The pacing was perfect for a commercial, and all of your cuts were clean. There was an easy breeziness in your voice and casual movement fit for a cover girl commercial. My one bald spot is the awkward tree cut, the pause there was too long, but I’m nitpicking here because there wasn’t much else to critique! You did us proud, Troy.
Tanner: I am so very glad to see that redemption was given to the right person and was taken seriously. You have come leaps and bounds, and I’m digging it. Your commercial, as expected, was hilarious. I liked your little modeling moments, but I do wish you would have changed up location a bit more since you added the “work any environment” part. And all of your tips were spot on as well! Your magazine cover photo was cute and done well and I liked the simple white of the border and the letters, I just wish the font was a bit smaller so we could see more of just you. Now, for your photo shoot. I thought all of your photos were excellent portayals of the album covers you chose, and there was a little bit of Troy style thrown in as well. I also liked that every photo had a bit about you and the album, so it seemed like it was in a magazine AND we got to know you a little more! The only thing I question is the bottom half of the Amy Winehouse photo. Is the stool photoshopped or something? Idk, but whatever, I loved it all regardless.
David: The commercial, I see you you shady bitch lmao but it was good. However if youre gonna walk and say its great, you better make sure its the best walk you have done in the competition. And I think you did better in the last runway we had to do. You kept the brand going the entire time though which is a good thing and you had good tips for future models I love this concept. It is very you and I see that. Your cover is very simple but I think it works considering the rest of it is so in your face. The Haim photo is spot on. plus the dog was a good touch. I love how laid back you look which can be difficult for most. For Angel Haze, I don’t think your smize is completely there like hers, The Angel haze is my least favorite out of the five, but it is still an interesting photo. The Amy Winehouse one look like a musician who just put away his saxophone and is taking photos for a rolling stone article (Which I believe would be the point so that’s a good thing!) For Ellie Goulding, It was a risk to go profile and have your eyes closed. You are ALMOST there, but I don’t think its up to the level what you’re capable of. OVERALL, I think these are finale level works, however some of them needed maybe a little more time.
Cycle 3 finalist Easa makes his plea as to why he is Top Model Tumblr!
I think I deserve to win because I have been consistent to my style and aesthetic while bringing a sense of high fashion and sophistication. While my final looks haven't been the best I think overall I was the strongest competitor!
Brittany: “Why do you deserve the title of Top Model Tumblr?”
Cycle 3 finalist Brittany spills the tea about why she thinks she should win Top Model Tumblr!
Hi all of you out there in tumblr land who may be reading this right now or may be skipping over it. I hope that you’ll like/reblog/vote for me to win...
I took a huge leap joining this competition. I had zero modeling experience and I’ve worn a uniform for the majority of my days for the past 7 years (not a lot of fashion sense going on there). I have been dedicated to this competition since the beginning. I never let 14 hour work days or lack of materials stop me from submitting each week. When you want something badly enough you will pull out all the stops to make it happen.
I’m sure most people expect Easa to win because hes a beautiful gazelle and has the technique down. Or possible Troy because hes got the charisma and hes adorable. You should take a chance on me. I’ve gained so much confidence from competing in this competition and I will be forever thankful for that. I’m a ferocious girl next door and I am here to stay!
Pick me because I’m well rounded, genuine, and I care about the world and its humans. Bonus: If you pick me I’ll give you a discount on a custom bow ;)
I wouldn’t want to be here with any of the competitors besides these two guys. We all deserve it. We’re all fabulous. But still, PICK ME!!!
Cycle 3 Finalist Troy tells why he thinks he deserves the title of Top Model Tumblr!
I believe I deserve to win because I have shown the most growth in this competition and thats what this competition is all about...
You take new models who have little to no experience and you turn them out with these challenges. I have never really had confidence in myself ever. Look wise, body wise, I have always been so self critical and honestly at the beginning of this game it just made me feel even worse about myself. The comments that previous contestants and fellow models made about me were rude and made me feel like I could never win.
I never in a million years thought I would make it this far, but when I was eliminated that early I couldn't let myself shrivel up and die like that, so I turned it out. I admit I did start off lack luster. The eye makeup photo was bad because I was not myself and I tried to fit in with the other models, because I wasn't very knowledgable. The peacock photo was not as good because I was immobile and seriously ill. However there was no time for excuses and I woke the fuck up like my all time favorite ANTM contestant Chantelle. When I was gone for two weeks I started studying a lot more male modeling and how to put on makeup and prepared myself to do better to be better and to win this entire competition. You can see how much I have grown and the blood sweat and tears I have put into this competition.
On the editorial I spent DAYS EVEN WEEKS NOT HOURS thinking of concepts that related to me and that could portray all of the versatility I have. And I have what is THE BEST EDITORIAL out of the three. It is cohesive, it is versatile, it makes sense, and most importantly IT. IS. ME. I didn't listen to anyone else I took a risk and I brought something that people have never seen before that brings the high fashion everyone is looking for and not the standard that based models have given. Britt and Easa have always felt security and that they have always had it in the bag and they got lazy in these past few weeks they felt so secure that they never saw me coming. One of the most heart breaking parts of this game was when Britt and Easa were in a conversation with me and they talked about how good they were and how they were going to win. They acted like I wasn't even there. They put me on the back burner for a while and I wanted to just give up but I didn't I worked my ass off to give myself a chance at this game. I love Britt and Easa but their editorials still lack both the versatility and cohesion that mine carry.
I brought out the gold rule in dirty gold, I brought out the shade in my commercial, and I have proven that I am not a #shittymodel but I am #sickening. I am aware it was a rocky start but to completely deny that Easa and Britt have not had their rocky moments and pretend I am the only one. I have proven to not only others but most importantly myself that I can do this that I can win. One The whole point I joined this competition which in Fawns words last commercial was to "Play the modeling game that improves your modeling game" and I've done that thats the whole point of this game and thats why I deserve to win.
What it all comes down to is the finale. Look at my runway, look at my photos, look at my posing, look at my makeup, look at the clothes, look at my jewelry and accessories, and finally look at my commercial. I have brought every single thing that a model needs to bring, and I learned how to build a better model. I know how to sell and I believe that I represent what top model tumblr should be. Look at these editorials and commercials and see what I have accomplished. I deserve to be the winner of Cycle 3. Thank you.
Top Model Tumblr cycle two finalist and Brittany’s “Model Mentor” for this season, Fawn (parishiltonisburning) explains why her model deserves the title of Top Model Tumblr!
This has been the closest top 3 yet in my opinion, and each of the remaining models has their own reason for deserving the crown...
Easa is hands down the strongest model when it comes to walking and posing. Troy has shown so much improvement and pretty much dominated the competition toward the end. Brittany is the queen of concepts and she has been consistently strong in her photo shoots throughout the competition. I think all three are worthy of the title of Tumblr's Next Top Model, but in my opinion, Brittany deserves it the most. She has never been eliminated and brought back through redemption. She didn't plateau halfway through the competition, nor did she start to decline toward the end. She has been consistently strong in her concepts and shoots from beginning and she is tied for the most wins. Even when the rest of my team quit, Brittany remained loyal to Top Model Tumblr and she brought #TeamSlay all the way to the finale on her own. For these reasons, I think she would make an excellent addition to the winners circle.
