I would love to nominate Jessica Angelique MM#1585502 for Newbie of the Week! She had only been shot by two other photographers at the time of my shoot and had already been bitten by the modeling bug. One quality that really stood out beyond her professionalism and her dedication, was her ability to smile and really take this role seriously. It was over 90 degrees in the garage/studio that day and you cant even see her sweat!!

A member of theLIST must nominate a model who meets the eligibility requirements. Unlike most MM contests in which the general public votes, the Top Drawer members of theLIST then vote on the eligible nominees.

I had the pleasure of meeting Kathryn yesterday- before me, she had only had experience in a group shoot environment and the shoot was so last minute she had only an hours warning before we were due to meet! She was a trooper the entire day-- including the mile hike to and from the locale! Didn't complain at all, has a beautiful smile and completely rocked even though we didn't have long to shoot due to time constraints. I didn't have to give her a lot of direction, she's a natural, and I know she'll do well in whatever she decides on!

Katherine is a fantastic new model that I had the privilege of working with. Katherine is a model that each and every photographer hopes to shoot.

Her body type and facial structure make her a fantastic choice for several styles of shoots, and she is simply a joy to work with. Katherine is https://www.modelmayhem.com/1453249 Sep 30 10 01:30 pm Link Sep 30 10 08:41 pm Link Molly is a darling I have shot with her twice now. She brought two big suit cases with all these wonderful Steam Punk props with her, on the train and the bus, all the way across town. They were fragile and heavy, and she acted like it was no big deal. She also scouted the location for the first shoot with the amazing statue of the head, She takes the prize for the most attentive to detail, she was well prepared!

Oct 05 10 07:35 am Link Okay, I'm really back this time and I would like to nominate Randi Michelle Spencer for NMOTW. I needed to do a test shoot at a location I had not shot at before and Randi responded to my 11th hour query (there were only 10 hours before the test shoot) and graciously agreed to do it. The call time was 8 am, she was 10 minutes early, and was ready to shoot. It turns out she had just moved to L.A. in the past month and I was lucky to find an intelligent, attractive and hard working subject. If that wasn't enough, she squeezed me in before another appointment. I could have shot her all day, but I didn't need to.

We did an outdoor shoot in less-than-perfect weather and she rose above each obstacle with grace and dedication to the shoot. Despite already being cold, she was great about being doused with water and still smiled like it was a beautiful summer day. I think she has the beauty and spunk to go far and I would like for you to consider her for Newbie llama of the Week.

Oct 12 10 10:50 am Link ~Removed~ Oct 12 10 03:04 pm Link So are we just chucking out the idea of "no over 18 images" in 'Newbie Model of the Week' submissions? I just want a level playing field here. I'm ok with any rule you make, but it has to be even and fair. My model this week did some stunning nudes, but I didn't submit them because of the rules. Please let me know what's what.

As much as I hate to scold, part of being a member of theLIST is the expectation that you understand llamaing, the freelance business and llama Mayhem enough to be able to assist new llamas in their journey. The increasing disregard for eligibility requirements and contest rules makes a lot of extra work for us and it can also put the contest thread itself in jeopardy.
