Sarai: Pisces. That means Aspen, you’re up!

Aluna: Aspen, I can respect you for the club-esque approach you took to your outfit today. But, next time, veer towards something a little more professional and a little less club-ish! I have to say though, you’re killing that shirt!

Sarai: Good point, Aluna. Aspen, here’s your best shot.

Keon: I can’t tell if I like that pose or if I absolutely despise it.

Otto: Aspen! You were, without a doubt, the mOST creative model in your posing this week. Sometimes though...you might have gotten a bit TOO creative. A majority of your poses were just, well... weird.

Aluna: I, too, am undecided on the posing. But if you look at your face, I’m even more confused. Are you scared? Are you sexual? Are you surprised? I can’t figure out your expression.

Sarai: Aspen, you’ve definitely shown us that you have a creative spirit. I saw that looking through your photos for this week. But can you zone in that creativity in a high-fashion way?

Aspen: *nods* Thank you, judges.

Sarai: You’re welcome Aspen. And thank you.

Sarai: Let’s get Miss Ryan up here, our Capricorn!

Keon: Your casting call outfit is sufficient actually.. If anything, I’d lose the choker. You don’t want to chunk apart your neck; you want to make it look longer.

Sarai: Alrighty Ryan, here’s your photo this week.

Aluna: OOOOooooo, GIRL. You’re giving me serious ‘model on a mission who knows what she wants’ with just a little hint of ‘I’m a diva, don’t you dare cross me.’

Otto: *laughs* Aluna, you’re right on the mark! Now Ryan, you were so much fun to work with because you were so YOU on set. You took the brief - Capricorn which embodies discipline and ambition - and put your own little spin on it.

Keon: See, I get that she put her own spin on it.. but I think it might have been too much of a spin. When I think of a Capricorn, I don’t think diva.

Aluna: You’re just jealous because she’s got more -tude than you. *winks*

Sarai: *currently holding back the glares from Keon to Aluna* Ryan, this is a nice picture, but there are still areas of improvement. You did an excellent job of catching the light, but you hid a bit too much of your face, in my opinion. 

Ryan: Okay, sick! Thank you for your critiques.

Sarai: *smiles* Thanks, Ryan.

Sarai: Next up... Kryz with the sign, Cancer!

Aluna: Kryz, the thing about your outfit today is that it might be too simple. You want to look classic when you show up to casting calls, but you also want to show a little fun!

Sarai: Okay, let’s see your best shot.

Otto: *sighs* Kryz, I’m not going to lie, you were one of the more difficult girls to photograph this week. You took direction fantASTically, but the emotion never translated on camera. This was the best shot that I got out of your profile this week.

Aluna: I can see that you are trying to display the emotion and sensibility that is associated with Cancer signs, but it’s coming off as fake..

Keon: Kryz, we know that you’ve never had any experience in modeling, but that still isn’t an excuse. If you make it to next week, try to grow comfortable in front of the camera instead of hiding from it.

Kryz: Oh-okay.. thank you judges.

Sarai: Thank you, Kryz.

SNTM Announcement

So, I’m on the verge of my last final!! This means that SNTM will be returning regularly within the week. I can’t wait to get back into the swing of things! Thanks again for being so accommodating and patient!

All the love, 

Maisie

[wonkysims]

Are you still doing sntm?

Yes! I was gonna make a post about it today... but to make it short and simple, I’m at college atm and there’s only a month left of classes, so homework/finals have been pretty demanding. Hopefully, I’ll be able to get some posts in here or there, but the SNTM challenge will definitely be on the slower side this month! 

Thank you so much for your patience!

Sarai: Next up is Aries! Come here Rosalie!

Rosalie: Hello!

Otto: *gaSPPP* Are you wearing loAFERS? Take those shoes off right now and throw them here so I can burn them. 

Sarai: *laughs* Well, hopefully your picture is Otto-approved!

Aluna: Holy Hannah! You are one hotty!! You’re modeling from your head to your toes; or, fingernails in this case.. You’re highlighting the red of nail polish with the red of the ram horns with the red of the lipstick and this whole picture is just screaming Aries to me!

Keon: I find it hard to believe that the girl standing in front of me is the same girl in that picture. While I don’t agreed with Aluna in that your pose “screams” Aries, I think you modeled well for a beginner in this photoshoot. Well done.

Otto: Is Keon giving compliments? Because if so I must have died and been sent to heaven because that just doesn’t happen! This is a fantastic photo dahling, just fantastic.

Sarai: Like the other other judges said, Rosalie, this was a great photo. Your face is catching the light, but you’re turned away in this rebellious, yet enchanting way. I can see the Aries.

Rosalie: *blushing* Oh my goodness.. Thank you all so much!

Sarai: Alright, thanks Rosalie!

Sarai: Sabrina the Scorpio! You’re next.

Sabrina: Hello, everyone.

Sarai: The only critique that I have about your outfit is the accessories. Girl, don’t cover up that long neck of yours with a choker! Let’s see your best shot. 

Otto: Sabrina, you said that you were a model while you were a teenager, right?

Sabrina: Yes. I did.

Otto: Yeah... That’s what your photoshoot felt like to me; like I was taking photos of a teenager who only knew poses from magazines. 

Sarai: Otto! Sure, a majority of her photos were adolescent in nature, but there were a few that were very high fashion. Sabrina, I think you just got unlucky with the pose to face connection like the other models we’ve seen today.

Aluna: I agree. While this isn’t the most amazing picture I’ve seen today, I think you filled the quota. You gave us the seduction and mystery of a typical Scorpio.

Keon: I may as well regurgitate what I said to the two models before you.. But you did manage to capture the light. That is what showed your experience - nothing else did.

Sabrina: Okay, thank you.

Sarai: Alright, thank you Sabrina.

[wonkysims]

Sarai: Leo. Miss Sandra come on up here!

Aluna: Ooo.. While that outfit is absolutely adorable, I’d wear something more flattering to your figure at castings - something not so baggy or flowy! You want to show off those gorgeous curves of yours.

Sarai: Alright Sandra, let’s see your best shot!

Otto: Now, my lioness. You were so much fun to work with. I could see you connecting with the Leo sign at, like, a molecular level. You really hit this one out of the park.

Aluna: I completely agree with Otto. There’s intensity in your face; but a good intensity... like you’re a literal, powerful lioness ready to rule your kingdom with respectable ferocity.

Keon: I’m clearly missing something. Because this looks like another boring, basic pose and face to me. Sure, there may be a bit going on in the expression, but it’s nothing to rave about.

Otto and Aluna: @ Keon (ง •̀_•́) 

Sarai: *laughs* Before these three are at each other’s throats, I’ll say that I agree with all of what they’re saying. At this stage in the competition, your face is great! But the pose, I’ll agree, is a little plain. Just something to think about!

Emely: Thank you all for the critques.

Sarai: Your welcome. And thank you, Sandra.

[wonkysims]

Sarai: Emely, our Aquarius. You’re up first!

Emely: Hi

Keon: Nice cargo pants. You’re ready for a casting call; it’s simple but you’re still showing your personality. Agencies look for that in a model.

Sarai: Well said, Keon. Emely, let’s see your best shot!

Otto: You are SUCH a natural when it comes to posing, but when I was looking through your photos during editing... the face just wasn’t there.

Keon: I’m gonna counter Otto on this one, because this is a very basic pose in my opinion. Its a basic pose and your face is boring.

Otto: OOkay.. This is the only photo that had sOMEthing going on in the face. The other poses were more impressive, but the face was - for lack of a better word - dead.

Aluna: Emely, no matter what these boys are saying I see potential! If you can get control of that face, you’ll be golden.

Sarai: I agree completely. Practice, practice, practice! 

Emely: Okay, thank you.

Sarai: Thank you, Emely.

[wonkysims]

Sarai: And last, but certainly not least, is our international Irish supermodel, Keon O’Hardy who signed with SIMG Models at 17!

Keon: Good afternoon everyone. I can’t wait to see how you all did.

[wonkysims]

Sarai: You’ve already met this second judge, but say hello to the famous creative director Otto Tamayo.

Otto: HellOOO again models! I ran the shoot this week, and let me tell you, it’s gonna be some TOUGH competition this Cycle!
