To the ladies and gentlemen of Top Drawer, I'm proud to re-enter Katie as my entry for Newbie Model of the Week - http://www.modelmayhem.com/1325619
Katie was my Featured Model of the Month for April 2010, and the three images entered below garnered over 800 comments during their runs as avatars.  She's a student at University of Tennessee majoring in theater, and a wonderful young woman.  Katie epitomizes what an aspiring model should be - enthusiastic, wanting to continuously improve, and able to project her inner beauty.  Thanks for considering Katie as Newbie Model of the Week.  MPT

I had hoped to work with Christine another time before nominating her for the contest. She is learning so voraciously that I'm afraid by the time she returns from England she will be a real pro and no longer eligible.

Christine AKA IDiivil # 1682208 is young but quite eager to learn and has great aptitude - even with just a couple of shoots under her belt she moved fluidly and with great confidence. She is very much on top of things - understanding where the market lies for her and readily pursuing that.

CONGRATULATIONS to our winner this week IDiivil our 117th
Newbie Model of the WEEK July 27, 2010 ~!!!

I'm proud to enter Sara for Newbie Model of The Week. Sara is a cancer survivor as well as an amazing young lady. She realizes her limits and is making strides and hoping to set example for others out there. To have the Top Drawer select her would be a true high point for this young lady..

Top Drawer members I'd like to nominate Chrissy Yeoh as the Newbie Model of the week! MM#1779099

I'm her first and only photographer and we've shot a total of two times. We spent hours together working on simple poses, understanding and styles. We headed out and played for hours, had so much laughter I'm still hurting and she did a phenomenal job. I'd like to stress that she is really only doing this for fun, but for someone to only take this as fun and work so hard and push herself is just amazing to watch.

Re-introducing Emo Bonita MM #1001625.  She's an on-air personality on San Francisco's La Kalle 100.7/105.7 FM, and I met her when shooting for her comp cards.  On the basis of that, we've shot a couple more times and she's opened a ModelMayhem profile although her work in radio keeps her pretty busy.  With her "Girl Next Door" good looks she's attracting the attention of other local photographers, and her port now features some of their work.  All images unretouched. 











Emo and I thank Top Drawer for their consideration!

Below is my submisstion for the week of August 2.
Model: MM#1134588 Danielle Bubbles.
Danielle is a classical beauty.  She is simply a pleasure to work with.  I hope this renomination will give her much encouragement, and she is most deserving.

I'm pleased to nominate Sarah K. Barton from Cheyenne, Wy., (MM#1694929) for Newbie Model of the Week. Sarah has a wonderfully positive outlook, enthusiastic attitude and strong commitment to modeling. She's a joy to work with and, at 5'10" of pure loveliness, she has tons of potential.

Sarah Barton's MM Page!











Please vote Sarah Barton for MM's Newbie Model of the Week!

Top Drawer members I'd like to nominate Lily Lu as the Newbie Model of the week! MM#1774621

Like Chrissy I am Lily's first photographer and spent some time behind stage prepping and teaching her posing and basic skills needed to do well in front of the camera. Lily is a complete doll and has great wit and an amazing personality to work with. She is willing to try anything for the art and works very hard to do her best. I'd have to say that she completely rocks for a first timer.

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Top Drawer it gives me great pleasure to introduce Brooklyn Sky.  At just sixteen she possesses a grace and maturity of many models with many more years of experience.  Her family is fully supportive of her goals and I have now had the pleasure of meeting her family and working with her twice.  As you can see, both here and in her port she is a model that can pull off an incredibly wide variety of looks.  She poses herself well, but is very open to direction and has an attitude that just can't be beat.  With her family fully behind her this is one model to watch for as she is certainly going to be a force for years to come !











Brooklyn and I thank the Top Drawer for their consideration !

CONGRATULATIONS to our winner this week SassySaraGirl MM# 1476874 our 118th

Thanks Tom and the Top Drawer, Sara will be estatic and this will only help her in her fight in cancer awareness.. my compliments and best wishes to all the other photographers and models this week.. we all won from the looks of the work posted and the beautiful ladies that graced our camera's..

Here is my submission for newbie model of the week, AshleyRT MM#1773952, she was a pleasure to work with in one of her first professional shoots and at 6' tall and slim obviously has great potential.

I present Ms. Laurel Ashel.  Her personality and professionalism belie the fact that she has little experience in front of a camera.  I have rarely had the pleasure of working with someone who is so photogenic at so many angles.

Laurel Ashel's MM # is 1629472

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Top Drawer it is my honor and pleasure to introduce Yule K Model Mayhem # 1442905.  Originally from Russia, she now calls the beaches of San Diego her home.  She has been a joy to shoot both times that I have had the great honor of working with her.  She is always on time and awesome at making sure we go over all the ideas.  Her endless energy is just one of the many great things that makes her stand out on any shoot.  I am so proud to introduce her and share her work with you all.

I am really sorry about being behind again this week. Time Warner Cable of North East Ohio has been seriously dropping the ball for over a month now and my connection is still spotty at best. I was able to cull some of the nominations last night and I hope to be able to finish and present the contest tonight.

Thanks everyone for your patience (mine is running very thin).

Hi everyone!!!


For my first submission I'd like to introduce miss Marianne Wauchop, MM#1678457 , she's a brand new model. We did our first outdoor shoot back in May and she was wonderful, got used to the location almost instantly and also was able to pose with the airplanes/cars at the location with full confidence.
She is a fitness enthusiast and a power tumbler athlete and that shows very well in her photos. Without further ado, here she is!!!





Thank you!!!

Top Drawer members I'd like to nominate Tania as the Newbie Model of the week! MM#1395744

Tania had more shooting experience than many of my models, but she hadn't had the push she needed to show her potential. We worked together on a couple of ideas and spent time helping her understand good posing and style which we used during our shoot. She is a quick learner and loves to be in front of the camera. A great personality and so much fun to be around that it's worth each and every click on the camera with her.

meeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

Below is my submisstion for the week of August 16.
Model: MM#1756910 Queenie Bee.
Queenie is a beautiful energetic girl from the West Coast.  She came to the shoot well-prepared and on-time.  She is smart, motivated, and easy to work with.  What an angel!

Congrats!!! Glad to see an amazing model from my home state of Wyoming, get the  award!

Ladies and gentlemen of the Top Drawer I would like to introduce Rebecca Norman Mayhem #1660473 http://www.modelmayhem.com/1660473 to the Newbie Model of the Week.
The photos you see here are from her first real photoshoot only last week and despite the fact she has had very little experience her professional approach and determination to learn came through immediately. Rebecca did all her own makeup/styling for this shoot. I believe this young lady has all the qualities to make her mark in the modelling world and the boost of being Newbie Model of the Week would be the first big step forward for her career so im hoping you all agree and vote for her.

This is Bella Campanella. She requested a Newbie shoot with me and mentoring, Before I had time to schedule her, I was doing a big shoot for a designer, and had a no-show, Bella came over to fill in and got the full treatment, with hair and make up stylists and a lot of crazy going on with a 12 hour shoot day, it was a full house, she was professional and graceful... And the camera likes her!

Wow, it is only Tuesday and y'all are bringing out the big guns, trying to frighten off the competition. LOL.

Another great field shaping up. Really nice work and some very fortunate newbies getting great shots for their books!

I'm pleased to nominate Desiree (MM#1592164) as my Newbie Model of the Week. This was our first shooting together, and Selby Gardens in Sarasota proved to be a wonderful backdrop for the wonderful designs of Helen Gerro (1234643) & Punk Rock Betty (1330264).

For this week, I would like to nominate Sheri (MM #1711960).  Sheri is such a pleasure to work with.  She is pleasant and professional;  she can work under searing summer heat, and not a word of complaint.  She takes direction and can move well.  From what I have seen, I believe that Sheri will go far in her modeling career.

I hope you will consider me for this!
Thank you in advance...Gabriella

To the members of Top Drawer, I am pleased to present Mary Cameron Rogers http://www.modelmayhem.com/1298448 as my entry in this week’s contest.  Mary is from Charlotte, NC and we had the opportunity to shoot on a recent business trip I took over to her area.  She’s a college student, is a natural redhead, and as can be seen in these images has an incredible look for commercial modeling.  Although this week's entries are nothing short of incredible, we're here because Mary’s beauty is more than skin deep, she's special, and a joy to work with.  MPT
