I am most pleased to re-enter 20-yr old Jay-Dee (www.modelmayhem.com/2589971) as my entry in this week's contest. Josey is a college senior and varsity athlete (basketball and track) who traveled from Nebraska to shoot with me on March 19th - the images you see are her FIRST ever with a professional photographer! Yep, when I say newbie, I mean newbie! As you can see, she's a natural beauty with a clean, fresh all-American look, and she's an absolute joy to photograph. Please consider Jay-Dee (Josey) when casting your vote during this week's contest. Thank you all for your continued support, my best regards, MPT May 09 12 07:08 pm Link Ladies and Gentlemen of the Top Drawer, please do not let the name Perceptions Edge throw you off, I see that Tom has not had a chance to change it from Gonzo Photos on the updated List yet. It gives me great pleasure to re-nominate the beautiful and talented Ashley Farina for this weeks contest. We have shot two more times since the first time I entered her, and have a 4th shoot scheduled. While perhaps the shots you see here are not typical "fashion" shots, there is no denying the young ladies beauty and talent. She always brings concepts tot he table and is an equal partner in the collaboration, to the point she is the only model to do her own editing. I'm worried that if I give her a tripod and teach her how to use the timer she may not even need me anymore Without further ado, Ms Ashley Farina: May 10 12 07:40 pm Link A message from *** Please do NOT vote in this thread *** The voting in this contest is done by theLIST Top Drawer membership via their secret decoder rings ...

She represents a category of models who are beautiful and voluptuous, as you can plainly see from my submitted samples. She is bubbly, humorous, easy to get along, and fun to work with. Nam Jun 01 12 07:27 pm Link Presenting Rebecka, a new model who impressed me greatly during our shoot. I think you will all agree with my feeling that the camera absolutely loves her. It is a pleasure working with her. She is confident, and takes direction without fear. One of the best, most promising new models I have worked with in a while. Jun 02 12 05:59 pm Link Jun 04 12 05:08 am Link It's been some time since I last participated here and recently I had the most wonderful experience with a young and talented model and felt it worthy of sharing. We had very little discussion prior to the shoot yet she showed up on time for a sunrise shoot that ended up not happening due to poor weather conditions. Nevertheless we waited it out and made the best of what we had which I felt turned out rather well. So without further ado, please allow me to introduce Abigail Joy for your consideration as the Newbie Model Of the week.

Jun 13 12 06:05 am Link I'd like to present Jamie Grayce MM# 2481892. I met Jamie through a friend before she joined MM and our first shoot was on the beach over the summer. Our 2nd shoot happened in my studio, I had been throwing ideas around and looking for someone to shoot them. She shot herself in the mirror and sent me the photos of what she had in mind and I didn't have to look no further. For an inexperienced model, Jamie poses exceptionally well, she's very aware of her body and how it looks. She's also got a killer voice... Jun 13 12 03:11 pm Link I really really support The List.

Model: MM#2665981 ForeverLiveLaughLove (Mimi). Mimi's immediate impression is her mesmorizing bambi eyes and her bright up-lifting personality. She conducts professionally and is very easy to work with. She has just joined MM, and her portfolio is a bit sparse at the moment, but I firmly believe she will go far in modeling. You great photographers out there, shoot her to help advance her to the next level!

Vaei is a classic beauty whose baby-blue eyes immediately draw a viewer close and whose silk-smooth skin needs no/little make-up.
