Dec 28 10 06:28 am Link Top Drawer members this week I'd like to submit a fresh face to Model Mayhem, Amy Thai MM#1985372 for consideration this week. Amy began modeling a couple of weeks ago and has been a pleasure to work with. Always energetic, always happy and willing to try anything for the love of the art. Thank you! #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 Dec 28 10 07:11 am Link Thank you, Tom and TD members, for working hard over the holidays and voting for Alyssa. She deserves every bit of it. For this week, I would like to nominate Farnaz (https://www.modelmayhem.com/1881202). Even though she's new to the modeling world, Farnaz displays many characteristics of a seasoned professional. She has a great sense of style and can move like a dancer. I have no doubt that she will go far. Here she is. Dec 28 10 08:19 am Link Below is my submission for the week of January 4, 2011. Model: MM#1945126 Lily Muick. Lily has the height and elegant style of of a classical fashion model. She is young, energetic, and eager to succeed in modeling. Her dance background makes her pose as if she is going through a series of dance moves. She is learning quickly and is someone who can go far. I am only happy to be among the first to work with her, and it will be a pleasure to watch her grow. Nam Dec 28 10 10:03 pm Link My contribution for this week's contest: presenting Roxy, MM #1826280. I have worked with her twice, and both times I was very impressed with her posing awareness and sense of timing. I hope you enjoy her captures as much I did taking them. ********EDIT********** I have removed the links to the captures from this entry to prevent continued confusion stemming from the following week's entry, in which in was mistakely thought I was entering the same model two weeks in a row. Regards, David Hirsh Dec 30 10 04:32 pm Link I would like to nominate Arielle Dolezal (MM #1014933) for NEWbie Model of the Week. She brings to modeling a strong background in ballet, jazz, pointe and contemporary dance. When we worked together she did her own hair and makeup, her posing was great, she had a professional attitude, was a lot of fun to work with, and demonstrated excellent versatility. Dec 30 10 05:10 pm Link Allow me to introduce ms_lisa MM#1773123. She has been with MM since July 2010 and has taken to the art of modelling like a seasoned professional. When Lisa turned up for our shoot she came on time and with a suit case full of clothes and jewellery, sorted and ready for any situation. Nothing was to much trouble and was ready to help with anything including lugging equipment. With the right mix of professionalism, cheekiness and confidence, it made for a day of laughs, and a result that I believe speaks for itself. I would highly recommend Lisa and look forward to working with her again.

Jan 03 11 08:59 pm Link Top Drawer Members I'd like to nominate Brittany Ray #1993977 for this weeks Newbie Model of the Week. She had some experience but nothing substantial and wanted to do so much more. I brought in an entire team to work with her and give her the experience she needed to learn and grow as a model. She is a delight and loves the amount of effort it takes just for one great image. #1 #2 #3 #4 Jan 04 11 09:16 am Link Ladies and gentlemen, for this week I would like to nominate Beth (https://www.modelmayhem.com/1572375). Beth has been nominated a few times in the past (by another photographer), and I think that she truly deserves to be a Newbie Model. At the rate that she's going, she won't be a newbie much longer. Beth is down-to-earth, fun, professional, a free spirit, easy to work with, has great attitude. As a photographer, I can't ask for much more. For the photographers in the area, you should shoot with Beth before she turns professional. Here she is.

I would like to nominate Vanessa (https://www.modelmayhem.com/1415009) for this week. Vanessa is stunning when it comes to modeling despite being new to the Industry. She is a flawless beauty with very good understanding of her pluses as well knowledge on photography lighting; takes very good direction and delivers more than expected. She also amazed me with her makeup skills. We had a tiny space to work on this shoot, but Vanessa blasted.

Again, my thanks to all. cheers, David Hirsh Jan 11 11 06:55 am Link Dear Top Drawer Members, For this week I'd like to re-nominate someone who I feel is truly special and works harder than many in this industry, specially since she is still so new to all of this. I had submitted Maria Morriarti #1842336 last year and she was up against some good competition but still feel she has the right stuff to be part of the winners circle. Just her time spent staying in shape and keeping her skin and body in perfect condition for shoots is testament to her dedication. I'll cross my fingers and toes! Jan 11 11 07:57 pm Link My contribution for this week's contest: presenting Kayleigh Lynda Marie, MM #1772297. She is very new to modelling and has yet to develop the strong portfolio that I know she can achieve, but it's clear that her potential is very considerable, indeed. Thank you very much for your consideration.

A very potential young model trying her best to make great images and aspiring to breakthrough the modeling career. She has a very supportive mom and am sure she would be a great model with her strong admiration for fashion/glamour. PS: I had to remove her from my previous submission, as i wasn't a LIST member then. Lucky to have the opportunity now to submit her nomination.

Jan 17 11 08:36 pm Link I would like to introduce you to Maggie Mcphee (MM#1984666). Maggie just starting her modeling career and has a wonderful lack of ego. She is outgoing and friendly, but has is seemingly unaware of her beauty - she wears it lightly. I think she has a special quality and hearby nominate her for Newbie Model of the Week. Jan 19 11 05:50 am Link To the members of the Top Drawer, please reconsider 19-yr old TAMARA https://www.modelmayhem.com/1943441 as this week's Newbie Model. When I say newbie, I MEAN newbie! The images you see below are from Tamara's first EVER photo-shoot, which we did back in November 2010! She's already upgraded to PREMIUM membership, as she's determined to get her youthful and beautiful face out there, and hope good things happen. I can assure you all, you're going to be seeing LOTS more of this young lady in the months ahead, as she's already lined up several shoots throughout the East Tennessee area. Tamara and I would very much appreciate your vote in this week's contest. Thanks! MPT Jan 19 11 07:44 am Link I have withdrawn my entry for this week. Best of luck to all. cheers, David Hirsh Jan 20 11 08:49 am Link Ladies and gentlemen, this week I would like to nominate Valerie (https://www.modelmayhem.com/1842362).

Thank you. Jan 26 11 04:33 pm Link This week I would like to nominate an amazing person and model Sara Frost #1703548.
