Girls from past season of ANTM all managed to take the fashion industry by storm in high fashion editorial modeling to commercial modeling. Being a good model is being versatile in each world of modeling. So for this assignment, you guys will show your commercial side by producing two screenshots (One in "summer" wear, and one in "bikini" wear). These shots need to have a summer mood to it as well as look summer, so choose your armor wisely. Remember, one of them has to be a nude bikini shot, and the other one in a summer armor (or the closest one you can get).

(An absolutely GORGEOUS fashion spread done by Eugena, the person who should've won ANTM Cycle 7 *cough*)

In addition to taking these two different shots, you need to break down your outfit like any fashion spread would (Tell us about each garment/accessory piece, and give us a price). For example, looking at any of the reference pictures/banner (probably best to look at the banner's bottom catalog shot, see how they break down each article of clothing and list prices? Use that, and break down your armor pieces from every little thing, including accessories) You must also do the same for your bikini.

There are no questions, so after deciding upon your two shots (one summer wear and one bikini), please send it to me by May 25, 2007.

If you have any questions about the assignment, please get in touch with ASAP!

Good Luck and have fun!

Nude??? OMG.. there was no mention of that in my contract! Arala doesn't do things like that.. it's not her... Calling my lawyers right now!

jk jk... sounds like fun!

Although I wish I could get my monk some sexy mesmer or ele underwear. ...

Congratulations Mila for MOTW.

And Mango

We'll go kick some butt in fissure together or something hey?

Edited to add that this mamma doesn't have a big butt Mila :P <3

Noanoa · May 21, 2007, 07:37 AM // 07:37

Congrats Miss Melly <3.

Thank you everybody for yesterday's party, it was great!!!1 I loved chatting with you all, and the hypnotizing monk circle was just ooOOoooooOOoo. I'll post pixxars later.

I was wondering, must we 'shop together a catalog spread (like the one in the banner, with price tags and all) or should we just submit two separate image files and describe the items in normal text?

/party

/big butt. Mila has a big butt ;O But shes curvy! hourglass figure? Well...depends on her armour top but you get the idea. =]

LOL. Not sure I understand the spread idea on the assignment, buut I'll have a bash at it.

Edit: Okay ladies(and gentlemen), no more fighting or we're gonna go all praying mantis on ur booties ^^

Daenara · May 21, 2007, 09:32 AM // 09:32

Oh my goodness, Miss Melly.. lol. I blame that on coffee deprivation. ><

And I wish I'd been there, it looks like it was so much fun!

Sihaya Syme · May 21, 2007, 10:22 AM // 10:22

Congratulations Melly! *cheers*

Mango, I'm so sorry!

I was sure you'd make it to the final 3... Oh, well, no point dwelling on it, I suppose. Grab a chair, have some icecream/strawberries/chocolate/whatever and watch the show with me!
With all the soap opera drama going on, it gets quite interesting >_>

And, thank you Slayer for putting a stop to the horror show :P

Perynne · May 21, 2007, 11:40 AM // 11:40

Congratulations Miss Melly, you definitely deserve MOTW this week! *cheers*

And yyh, seems like I had to leave a little too early from the party. The dancing screens look awesome, and Pery would have fit right in with her identical armor.

Oh well. The event didn't go entirely without drama however, as Pery had a little tipsy diva moment and had to show her ranger counterpart this cycle who's the boss:

Luckily, the two are back to being good friends. Hopefully. (Szei, forgive me?)

A big thank you to everyone who were able to make it to the meet! Someone suggested that we should hold a meet like this every Sunday, and I'm all for the idea. Even every other Sunday would be great! If the time is going to be a problem to some contestants (like having work every Sunday) I think we could try to arrange it with slightly different times each time, or something....

Oooh, this week's assignment is interesting.

Lady Nilene, just a suggestion: I vaguely remember each assignment in Cycle 1 having an example screenshot taken by you which shows how it could be done. I think it would be nice to see this in future assignments too, since it helps the contestants with understanding each assignment a little better.

Oogami · May 21, 2007, 11:59 AM // 11:59

We gotta look for prizes ! OMG >.< I wasn't planning with that :O This assignment might give me the most trouble who knows ;p... or maybe not at all XD ... but i gotta say this is a surprise XD

I love that idea. Your the judges, perhaps if we saw a perfect shot for this assignment then we would have an idea of exactly what your looking for, not all of us are as psychic (cough.. geishe)

Noanoa · May 21, 2007, 01:41 PM // 13:41

Some pics from the monk party >

.

Mango is doing something dreadful to my necro's hair x_X (and showing bad example to the other girls, poor Viki!).

Some miscellaneous funniness.

mojave mango juice · May 21, 2007, 01:59 PM // 13:59

Eh, don't feel bad for me

I was pretty disappointed in how this cycle was progressing compared to last cycle.
For example, the fact that judge 3 felt the need to post a "rude comment" instead of criticism.
Anyways, I'm glad it's over.
I'll still be watching and cheering for you guys. Even though some of you are my guildies I can't pick favourites, after meeting you all the other day I love you all so much

I'll post pictures from the other day when I get a chance to crop them. We must definitely do this again, I want a chance to meet Geishe and the others who didn't come, and hopefully Maria and Lokii can show up as well.
And Melly, grats on the MotW, such a pretty shot!

Edit: Almost forgot...I would still like to know what Judge 3's "rude comment" was...

Ohh! But we did meet before, for like 5 minutes >.< I'll add you, and the next time Im on , we'll chat.

Ahem, I think the judges already gave a real big hint ^.^

Uhmm...*scans thread*..Uhmm...err..

It needs to be in Black and white for me to understand ^^

(ima bit slow like that) But yes! i wanna meet Geishe & Maria & the ones who missed yesterday, it was good fun =]

Edit: The psychic thing wasnt meant in a mean way btw, so apologies if offense was caused Geishe! Just incase the tone of my typing seemed mean! it wasnt honest! ^^

Sarah Eleanore · May 21, 2007, 04:30 PM // 16:30

Gah.. I couldn't come yesterday

. My mom decided to go to bed early and whacked me off the computer (well not really but..). Well.. hope you guys had a good time though. (maybe do this again sometime ;p?) The monks look soo beautiful... I've been wanting to try out a monk for a long time, maybe I should (but I always think it's one of the hardest proffesions, but maybe it's a challenge!)
Congrats for Miss Melly! Really thought her pic was the most "touching" one (as in most feeling and motherlylike).
And sorry for Mango.. I thought you were pretty good actually, but I guess since everyone's good it was hard for the judges to choose. (and more constructive comments can be good as well, judges, the drama and stuff didn't come out of nowhere)

This assignment seems fun, maybe I'll try it out too. (maybe post it in feedback if I get something I like) Breaking down armor though? Like Szei Renn asked, that should be made clear.

BTW Mila; Lady Nilene said: (An absolutely GORGEOUS fashion spread done by Eugena, the person who should've won ANTM Cycle 7 *cough*) Not sure if that's it but..

Foxeye · May 21, 2007, 04:53 PM // 16:53

Congratulations Miss Melly!

If anyone is a little overwhelmed as well by finding old shoots and whatnot, I've created a thread on my own forum with links to the photoshoot images and the covers with the MotW.

LadyNilene · May 21, 2007, 05:52 PM // 17:52

I ruled out the sample pictures from myself because they caused problems last cycle, people accused others of "stealing" and "copying" my examples, and I just don't want that to happen again. My examples are simply to prove that whatever I ask is doable, and to give some inspiration on where you can start. So we ruled that out and what you guys dont see is that in each individual assignment email that I send to each person, i do give out additional tips to help guide our contestants if they're too lost on the assignment.

I haven't had the time to do this assignment yet, but basically using Mila's summer calendar shot as a go by...

Luxurious halter top with sexy jeweled centerpiece makes this top for any sexy summer look. Top made with leather, sapphire and ruby jeweled piece. Top by Mateneh................. 5 platinum.

Just talk about each armor piece like so, bring in knowledge you know about your armor (crafting material, crafter, etc). Be more elaborative, talk about stitching maybe or any other embellishments your armor may have, just be creative, its not rocket science! lol Remember, you can mismatch armor! Just please showcase everything properly!

Noanoa · May 21, 2007, 07:10 PM // 19:10

Thank you for clearing that up ^^;.

The Last Anthem · May 21, 2007, 07:16 PM // 19:16
