I had the great pleasure to have worked with Lex Nicole (MM#2193315) who I am submitting as a candidate for this week's Newbie Model of the Week. Lexie was incredible to work with. Her work ethic and professionalism helped make the shoot come together effortlessly. Her beauty, creativity and enthusiasm made our shoot go by so quickly that it seemed as though minutes had passed rather than hours. Thank you for considering Lexie as a candidate for Newbie Model of the Week.

Your votes and her win will certainly give her a wonderful boost. I appreciate you all very much. MPT Jul 27 11 08:22 am Link Thank you all for your votes. Im honored to be the newbie model of the week. Jul 27 11 02:13 pm Link Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to present Tawny Noel (https://www.modelmayhem.com/2247709) for Newbie of the Week. I try to be very picky when submitting for this honor and I don't think I've met a Newbie more deserving. I first met her at a group shoot about a month ago and though it was only her first group shoot and second or third shoot overall, she was natural, poised, responsive and calm which was something since she was the belle of the ball, and there were fifteen other models there. I was lucky that our group had her come down again, and she was still as nice and had befriended a few other models and lent out her outfits for some the other newbies that were not as prepared. Considering all I put her through, she remained calm and level and just a pleasure. Without a doubt she is my new favorite and we're already planning another shoot. She is without a doubt, destined to blow up. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Although her preference is nude work I have also managed to show Kat how she can excel at more mainstream modelling, her approach is always to listen, watch and learn from other models. She has never hesitated to achieve what the photographer is looking for and is developing quickly a strong professional approach to her work. Always, the very best to everyone.

Aug 10 11 07:44 am Link Ladies and gentlemen of the Top Drawer I am introducing Emerald MM#2241953 I had the pleasure of working with this young lady last week on a photoshoot. She is 17 and just getting into modelling and I was immediately taken with her calm and professional approach to the shoot. We decided to go to a park closeby as this was our first time together rather than studio work and I can definitely say I will be working with her again. I do hope you see what I can in this future star and vote for her it would give her such a boost in confidence. Many thanks. All the best Steve Aug 14 11 09:51 am Link Aug 15 11 07:18 am Link I'd like to enter KC Cardona (2259043). She has been on this site for a little while now but has had little exposure since moving to NC. I found her to be a fantastic and open minded subject- who showed up early and never blinked an eye to shooting in the heat, torrential rain, or mud. Please give her a warm welcome back into the modeling world. KAW.
