October 7, 20177 yr Hope so means no, she hasn't got completely through the selections. She has one more audition round left I guess then. MjDay is a real birdbrain. Last year he didn't select Megan Williams, Elizabeth Turner, two real hotties and selected a ridiculous one Mia Kang. Anything can happen! Megan's looks have come a notch down though. It's not over until it's over.

I also think that by the sheer substance of Gigi's "editorial" work (Truong, Bozorgi, Studenberg, etc.) she is simply beyond categorization, especially as mainly a swimsuit model. She's worked with several photographers who are defined more by their artistic aspect as opposed to strictly commercial stuff. SI would be a positive for Gigi's career, but not necessarily a definitive.
October 8, 20177 yr According to me, if a model does one of these 2 shoots, Victoria's Secret and SI swim, she is almost the ultimate model. There are few ugly exceptions though. It would be definitive!

There are few ugly exceptions though. It would be definitive! I guess it's a matter of contemporary taste and preference. I personally think Gigi has the potential to be more of a model in the mold of the original "Supermodels", and not in a strictly commercial sense. In a more contemporary sense, I think Gigi has more in common with Emily Ratajkowski. I guess I differ in that I'm more impressed by anything she's done with say, Shintani or Bozorgi, than I'd be with her doing SI or VS. There just seems to me to be more potential for Gigi to do a wider scale of work than I'd normally attribute to an average SI and/or VS model. Some of those models go on to other things and it seems most don't. And there's nothing wrong with that, that's fine, and an achievement in itself. But for every Kate Upton (and I'm not not suggesting there is more than one Kate Upton) who breaks out into a wider field, there are more that don't even establish an individual "brand" or a "name". As I noted, Gigi's resume already includes more work of an artistic aspect, collaborating with photographers who are not just representing or selling something, so the commercial benchmarks aren't all she seems to be aiming for.
October 8, 20177 yr Forgot this one when I posted the bath shower shots awhile back. Stick can't recollect who took these, and I'm usually good about that.
October 8, 20177 yr Some more of our Mermaid in action in her element. Blasts from the past with Gigi are always cool.
