My thanks to the Top Drawer for selecting Kristin as the Newbie Model of the Week. Nov 23 10 10:07 am Link This week I'm pleased to re-submit x Charlene, MM #1238287 for your consideration. Our first shoot actually took over a year to coordinate between her school and my work schedules, but it was well worth the wait! We shot nine looks in about six hours, and over 90% of the photos were "keepers". Charlene was very comfortable on set, and took direction well. She did her own hair and makeup. All images presented here are unretouched.      Charlene and I thank Top Drawer for their consideration! Mike Nov 26 10 11:05 pm Link Greetings to the Top Drawer ladies and gents and please reconsider Kit Nouveux https://www.modelmayhem.com/1786035 to this weeks competition. This is a resubmit of the photos from our session and hopefully show how her unique look and versatility. She brings a fresh and confident approach to a photo session together with a willingness to learn.      Regards Steve Nov 27 10 03:23 am Link Candidates for the 135th Newbie Model of the Week Contest!

Model-Zohra Photographer-Stephen Thorne ___________________________________________________ PRESENTED By  The LIST ~ a list of veteran photographers dedicated to helping "new" models build their portfolios. Nov 30 10 02:57 pm Link This week I'm pleased to nominate Sweet Sushi, MM #1162984. Although she has been modeling for a while now, Sushi's primarily been a cosplayer, portraying characters from Japanese anime and sci-fi/fantasy in costumes that she created. Lately she has branched out into fashion and more artistic projects. Sushi's greatest strength is her creativity and versatility. She also does hair and makeup (MM #1795904) and did her own in these photos. We're hoping to attract the attention of local photographers who can take her to the next level.      Sushi and I thank Top Drawer for their consideration! Mike Nov 30 10 05:47 pm Link Please accept my entry for Newbie of the week for a TRUE NEWBIE. Ms. Kristen Mignoli MM#1935202. She is a hair stylist and is in the business of making other people beautiful. As you can see, she herself is a real beauty. She has NEVER EVER been in front of the camera until my session and fell in love with the idea of modeling. Kristen is fearless and I could see her unfolding as the session went on. She is sure to do well and go very far!       Dec 01 10 07:27 pm Link Ladies and gents of the Top Drawer I would like to introduce the lovely Charlene or Charlie as she prefers to be called mm# 1928869 https://www.modelmayhem.com/charlenedurrant I had the pleasure of photographing Charlie recently and convinced her that she should setup an account on MM as she enjoyed the modelling experience so much. Although she has had little experience working with other photographers she was instantly at ease with the camera. Her approach and enthusiasm delivered just the looks I was aiming for. It's always a pleasure to have someone giving their utmost on a shoot and rewarding when they see their potential coming out in the results. She realises it's a tough path forward but is very determined to achieve her goal. I am proud to be a helping hand in getting her started and would love to see her get the boost in confidence by this competition so would campaign for your votes on her behalf.      All the best Steve Dec 02 10 10:00 am Link Below is my submission for the week of December 7. Model: MM#1917346 Paulee. Paulee is a classical beauty from Thailand. She communicated well before the shoot, came to the shoot well prepared and on-time, and posed with great enthusiasm, confidence, and elegance. She has a classical fashion flair, naturally smooth/flawless skin, and well toned body shape. She will likely go far, and I wish her success in modeling.

Dec 12 10 06:13 pm Link OK folks, It has been a little while since I last posted, but I'd like to introduce you to Ashley Jane (1956896). I'd like to enter her into the next lineup. I first met her today for an intro, myself and a few test shots. Entire shoot was a spur of the moment thing and she is just awesome. She was timely after multi-hr. drive) and needed little direction. If you guys don't book her solid, then maybe I'll get a chance to shoot her again some day.    Dec 12 10 07:43 pm Link Below is my submission for the week of December 21. Model: MM#1901256 Rataya. Rataya is an au pair from Thailand trying out modeling in the US. I would give her equal comments as I gave Paulee (MM#1917346) a couple of weeks ago. "She communicated well before the shoot, came to the shoot well prepared and on-time, and posed with great enthusiasm, confidence, and elegance." Rataya is a petite but very well proportioned, bubbly, expressive model. And I have been fortunate to work with her. Simply beautiful! Nam      In the last image above, top is Paulee (MM#1917346, MM Newbie of the Week on December 7), bottom is Rataya (MM#1901256), the nominee for this round.

Dec 19 10 07:19 am Link Third time pays for all ? Ladies and gentlemen off the Top Drawer, I remain convinced of the potential of Kiersten J Kaye and am pleased to re-nominate her for the Newbie of the Week contest.     Thank you for your consideration ! Dec 19 10 03:09 pm Link I am proud to nominate Jillian Gomez for Newbie model of the week. This was our first time working together; she was cast by me and MUA Thucelle to model two vampire looks for submission to Councours Dracula hosted by Make Up Forever. Jillian showed on time (30 min early, in fact) and worked hard through a 5+ hour session which included lots of tweaks to makeup and hair, dealing for almost an hour with a defective set of fangs that refused to stay in place, and several experimental lighting changes. She was able to convincingly portray character working from only the shoulders up (the entire shoot was essentially head shots), was a total joy to work with, and absolutely exceeded my expectations in every way. Great attitude, great energy, great look. I expect we'll all be seeing much more of Jillian in the near future.

Kari was my Featured Model of the Month for May 2010, and having worked with Kari on three different occasions, I can attest that her beauty is far more than skin deep - although those crystal clear blue eyes and her gorgeous face can almost take one's breath away.     Thanks for reconsidering Kari, we would very much appreciate your vote! MPT Dec 24 10 06:47 am Link I would like to nominate Alyssa (https://www.modelmayhem.com/1703512) for this week.
