Erin - Final Part 1
Task 1: Strawberry Ice Cream Inspiration
http://gyazo.com/aecba7a83d92fd8efcbd7ff18c963193 What better way to get some strawberry ice cream than from a 60s diner waitress? Dressed in her strawberry colored uniform, Erin is "serving" you strawberry ice cream, literally and figuratively. I took a risk by having another model in the picture in order to prove that Erin can still be the star regardless of any interference, the definition of a true high fashion model.
Task 2: RM Cover
http://gyazo.com/87fc199e154fbae7ad9aed15f59c7924 I think this perfectly embodies my cover photo for RM magazine. It incorporates both the summer and tropical aspects while obviously remaining high fashion. The Brazilian shoot I would say was my strongest in this competition so I'm here to prove again that I can dominate in a similar photoshoot.
Task 3: Best ANTM Photo

This was Erin's only best photo in Cycle 13, similar to my performance in this competition (thus far ;) ). It's my favorite because it shows off Erin's classic strong and fierce stare, however, that power also resonates throughout the rest of her body in her pose. These are both of Erin's strongest abilities that I've exhibited in this competition captured in a single photo.
Task 4:
1) I feel I should be in the final 2 because like everyone in this competition, I've shown my strengths and weaknesses. What sets me apart is the fact that I've been able to bounce back from having a hard time finding my footing at the beginning of the competition, to progressively getting better week after week which has gotten me here today. Even though I have the least amount of best photos, I've been consistently in the top of the group when it comes to callouts and I've always submitted a challenge photo and my photoshoots. Consistency is the main characteristic a model needs in order to represent a brand well. I'm what you would call the "dark horse" of this competition and I feel that my ability to lay low and then be able to wow you with a phenomanimal photo, rather than being average, is what makes me deserving of the win.
2) I would rather be the in the final 2 with Fatima. As I talked about before, Molly's inconsistency does not come across well in the long run. It's unpredictable whether she will deliver or not and I don't think that is who you are looking for to win this competition. Sure, she's had her share of best photos and good moments, but they are harder to find than mine or Fatima's. With that being said, Fatima, like myself, for the most part has been in the top of the group throughout the competition and has shown consistency. Although it's hard to see progression in her quality of photos from beginning to end, I feel she is a strong enough model to stand in the final 2 with me.
