  1. Hard to pick just one . But here's a few... Jackie Django Tom Shaq *edit* Oops, I just clicked "End" and didn't know it was a comp . Robert Pattinson x5 David Beckham x5 Xavier Samuel x5
  2. I sure would love to have one of my favorite foods .
  3. Natasha Poly - 2.73 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Well, there are a lot of different opinions in this round, but I would like to briefly comment on those things and sum it up in the final thought . Final Thought In the last few years we've seen a resurgence of the vampire. Twilight has become one of the top film franchises of all time and we are also seeing a big presence in television as well in the form of True Blood, Vampire Diaries ect. as well as the paranormal romance genre genre selling more and more. I guess its more than safe to say that vampires are back and seem to be appealing to people of all ages and countries. But this leaves me with one lingering question. That question being, what about the zombie? Sure there's a zombie something here and there, but not like the vampire. Maybe zombies will never be as popular as vampires, but we have ask ourselves why that is. Or maybe we don't. But what it all seems to boil down to is sexuality. Vampires try to lure you in with their sexuality and sensuality (not the nosferatu of course, now that's a bad boy, I can't hate) whereas with zombies, they just are what they are. They don't appeal to the senses, they don't try to lure you in with charm or an appealing voice, they want brains and blood and that's it. Not your hand in marriage, not inner conflicts and compromises, just protect your brains because I'm hungry and I want them. Maybe this is a world of compromise and you have to make compromises or in some cases are encouraged or expected to use your sexuality the way vampires do to get ahead, or at least that's what society wants you to think, what vampires want you to think. But while the vampire uses their sexuality to get ahead in life, zombies are content to make it by the sweat of their brow and maintain their integrity at all costs. Now of course the vampire isn't the equivalent of someone who has sensuality only. They technically have more power than the zombie probably. They have super stregnth, can fly, live longer assuming they stay out of the sun and some can even turn into bats, but the thing is they want to be loved as well, which isn't a crime I guess since most of us want the same thing the the zombie doesn't screw around, he/she just says straight up, 'I'm a monster, not a soap star, I'm a monster and I want brains and I want blood and if I have to use my sexuality to make you accept me, well here's what I have to say to your acceptance and mainstream appeal, do not want, but do want brains thank you very much.' I'm Joe, and this is the round's final thought . Round 8
  4. What's interresting to me is while all this is going on, celebrities only become more and more empowered to usurp model's position more and more. The mainstream market isn't going to accept every random whim trend that strikes the fancy of the industry, all the while (especially as looks become more and more the primary priority for women in music, tv and movies) celebs are only empowered to infringe on model territory more and more every year. We've already seen it with Vogue covers and cosmetics commercials and you always hear people making these excuses like, "models are losing it because its so hard to be a model now" lol. Their losing their place because the industry doesn't care what the public thinks and the film, tv and music industry do and as the industry trends allienate the mainstream, those industries believe in suply and demand . We're seing more celebs in SI swimsuit and more actress/singer cosmetics and fragrance commercials than ever, pretty soon there may be actresses in VSFS . But it all boils down to weird trends = scare marketers = more modeling opportunities for celebs = money the industry could have had.
  5. Oh, no prob at all I just thought it was a weird coincidence that I also missed a lot of rounds in the "New Faces" comp and magically showed up for my nominations .
  6. Candice Boucher x6 Noemie Lenoir x4, Rose McGown x2 3 Each - Never heard of Meisa, thanks . *edit* Meisa 4, Jessica 2 Emily Didonato x6 Valentina Zelyeava x6 Edita Vilkeviciute x4, Amanda Seyfred x2
  7. Oops, sorry guys . To tell the truth I just looked for the part in the rules of how many votes we get per round and figured I'd just fit right in for the rest . But thanks . *edit* Oops, and sorry for spelling both names wrong too .
  8. 1.Cláudia Schiffer x6 2. Isabeli Fontana x2, Natalie Portman x4 3. Brigitte Bardot x4, Paula Patton x2 4. 3 Each - cool, never heard of this Jampanoi . 5.Monica belluci x2, Emanuela De Paula x4 6.Dita Von Teese x6
  9. Yesica Toscaniny - 7 Megan McThinnery - 5.5
  10. Emily - would have voted .5 if it was still allowed Laura - Just have a hard time remembering Emily and standing out is huge in fashion. Laura - just sympathy since she's losing, would have been .5 since neither showed range of expression and I don't know enough to say for overall .
  11. I'm glad she won too (especially since the popularity barriers seem so immovable at times ) . Plus since I don't think Asians did so well in the model version so its interresting to see an Asian actress beat one of the favorites from that side. But she's really cute without much makeup and after looking her name up I remember she was also on Degrassi. Ashley Greene x3 1.5 Each Zoe Kravitz x3 Jessica Lowndes x3 ............... Hally Berry x3 Claudia Lynx x3 Natalie Portman x3 Katie Mcgrath x1, Charlize Theron x2
  12. Amazing that I've missed so many rounds and some of mine appear back to back :| . 3 !
  13. Lovely lady and like her work so far .
  14. I think that may have tied my record for most votes in less than 24 hours ironically.... Didn't know the site was back ... Round 7
  15. I would have given her a 1, but decided to give her a 1.5 since her sister has a beer belly . Still open (since well short of the 24 hours), but new round when I get home . I have a confession to make . It was a hoax its 3 different people (the bust shot twice and 2 random others). I just wanted to wake everybody up . I've never run an assembly line type comp before so I got nervous and just wanted to make sure everyone wasn't just quietly plotting donbot and my demise or something . New round when I get home...

  17. Yeah . Some people in some societies do kindof look alike because there's less mixing with other groups (that includes rarely mixing with other groups within the same race). Not that that has anything to do with this, I just felt like saying that for some reason . But at first I just didn't see the simularity, and plus I forgot who Thandie was, but with that pic I can see it now. But the misunderstanding is probably when you say 'look alike' people probably assume you meant as in they could be twins when you probably meant they look enough alike to be sisters and they do look enough alike to be sisters I think . As a matter of fact they look more alike than me and my own brothers .
