I've decided to hold a competition, twenty girls will compete with the hopes of becoming Gaia's Next Top Model, but only one will succeed. The girl who succeeds will have the honour of being Gaia's Next Top Model, and will also win a sweet prize of 25,000 gold, as well as two pixels of her current avatar by iwanttherainbow and a complete set of 2008 Monthly Collectibles! The girl who takes second place will recieve 10,000g and 6 Monthly Collectibles (From Feb 08-April 09 of their choice) and the girl who takes third place will receive 5,000gold. Every five days, a new task will be assigned, a panel of judges will evaluate the photos, and place two girls at the bottom. These fate of these two girls will be left in the hands of the public, voting will proceed for two days. One girl will be eliminated each week. The winner of each weeks tasks will also recieve a small prize valued at 1.5 k or less! smile

THE PORTFOLIOS:

Lady Uzumakii-san
Why shouldn't i be Gaia's Next Top Model? NVM Well, I really wanted to boost my confidential spirit. Im definitely not a hater, though i am hot tempered. ^_^

xoSexo
Im Linda Tawney and I want to try my absolute best to be Gaias Next Top Model for reasons Im not quite even sure of. Perhaps Ive always though of modeling in real life but never has enough time or courage to do it. So I take my quest here, to Gaia, to show off my looks, and try for the best.

[x]

_Benny_love_
My name is Bethany and I think that I have a different look and body type than most girls you see on gaia. I'm not just some scene girl (not that I dont like scene people).

[x]

O w a c o
I'm just like most people that will enter this competition, I will enter thinking that I'm a strong go-getter that could handle the truth about my looks. I'm hoping by what I learn here, I can become stronger, and have more faith in myself. I'm different from most girls I know, more of a tom boy and tough, so by winning or getting close to so, I hope to show others that it's okay to be a girl and not worry about breaking a nail or two.

[x]

SECOND PLACE CONTESTANT:Bella_the_vampire17
I would love to be Gaia's Next Top Model, because I would love to be able to show my love for modeling and to show my talent as a model to hopefully inspire other girls out there to be confident about themselves and to love themselves. The most important thing is to love yourself before you can love anyone else.

~Teh Laiho~
I'm curious to see how far I can go here. Its an interesting contest and I think it will be fun to see all the different faces. I never thought I would be suggested to join a contest like this, but it sounds like a good way to help bring up what you think about yourself, no matter what the outcome. =]

Rainbow_Crotch
Hey, my name's Coley. The reason why I should be GNTM is because I can be counted on for doing challenges every week, I'm pretty artistic so I can bring a new look to the camera and my shots will come out good, without trying to sound cocky I think I'm fairly attractive, there always has to be at least one gay kid on these types of things, and I love the show. So, why not?

Threthiel
I would like to say hello my name is kailin and I think it would be wonderful to be Gaias next top model. I see myself as your average teenage girl and living in our society it is on high demand to dress and look certain way, I feel other girls need someone they can relate to and help them let the world know that its ok to be who you are, having the power and confidence to stand up and do that is real beauty to me.

[x]

VOCandy
Hello,I'm Vo. I think I would/could be gaiaonline's next top model because it would be a nice and fun thing to try. Even though I'm completing with other women of Gaia, I know I'll win some new friends and a new outlook on myspace.

[x]

Caffiene Free
I'm Stephanie and I think I could be Gaia's Next Top Model because art and creativity are my thing. I'm want to do this because I think it sounds fun, and I'd love an incentive to practice photography. Hopefully along the way I'll meet some more amazing people.

FIRST PLACE CONTESTANT:Kill3rsushi
Well, let’s see. To start off, my name is E.B. (You can also call me Sushi). I love to cosplay and model for fun, having my picture taken does great things for my self-esteem. I also enjoy Dungeons and Dragons, drawing, and level headed discussions.
I joined a different Gaia’s Next Top Model and competed against the organizer of this one, but because of scheduling conflicts with the other competitors, I won by default. I really respect Cheakie_’s opinion and she was fierce competition, but I’d like to know if I’m actually worthy or holding a title like “Gaia’s Next Top Model.” I’d also like to take the opportunity to do lots of cool new photo shoots with and bond with my father.

Uncle Johnny
I should be Gaia's Next Top Model because I think that I'm beautiful in a generic way; I don't wear much make up and I don't edit my photos. I'm also nice person and I give out advice to the best of my ability, and will do to Cycle 3's girls if I win.

Hi, I'm Jess and I would like to be Gaia Online's Next Top Model, because I feel that this would be a good experience to have. Not only that but I feel that I might become something that other people would look up to; that and I would like to make some great friends on the way. Also, I've always watched ANTM and have always wanted to become one.

I think i should be gaia's next top model because i am a huge fan of ANTM and CNTM they are amazing shows and i look up to every one of those models and if i were GNTM i would be so honored and proud. Thank you =)

Chained Corpse
my reason is that you dont need make-up to look pretty. it's naked beauty. and erm, well as many other people im saving up for something in my wishlist. this isn't something i usually do, cuz im usually shy, but hey, its worth a try right?

THE RESULTS:

Bella- The judges felt your photos were very relaxed this week, you finally look comfortable infront of the camera! You have really developed into a model in these last few weeks, and we have been very priviledged to have you in this competition! Good luck with the voting!
Commercial- Your outfit was very nice, your background was stellar, and you really experimented with poses. However some of the judges felt this was your weakest category because they looked more 'myspacey' than 'model.'
Catalog- Your photos were very pretty, and it was obvious what you were advertising which is good thing for a catalog shoot! You displayed the product really well, however the sign in the background may have not been neccessary. Watch out for your smile looking fake!
Couture- This was by far your best category. The judges loved your posing, your hair and outfit were fabulous. We loved the contrast with your red hair and the hi-key photograph. However you sort of strayed from the 'spring/easter' theme in this category.

Sushi The judges felt that you looked very stiff in many of your photos this week, however you still did a stellar job, and your creativity was top notch this week! You've kept us impressed each week of this competition and we are very happy you have been with us! Good luck with the voting!
Commercial- These photos were 'lovely!' Your idea was very creative, however some judges felt it was hard to see what your product was. You looked very pretty in these photos, but at the same time your eyes lacked their usual spark!
Catalog- Some of the judges felt that your background was too dark for the 'spring theme' however your outfit was fabulous! The way you posed was also great, we loved the variation, however some judges felt you looked a bit 'stiff' in the photos.
Couture- This was definitely your best category! You hit the mark for couture poses dead on! Your background was amazing, and your outfit and props were perfect for the 'spring/easter' theme! Again though, you didnt have your usual spark in your eyes.
