But letās get down to business. To present, hereās triple crown queen canāt wait for you all to salute her flag raising : Twinkies LaChapelle.
Unfortunately only 12 of you will make it to episode 1. Yes ladies. Two of you are lipsyncing for their lives right here tonight. And will do so on the notes of probably the most iconic Camo looks on the entire music industry history :
Holli Daze : I see you. I like this look. Itās a bodysuit but you managed to make it very interesting. I like the different texture and the net skirt is actually a great idea. The look is also well accessorized and the makeup adds that extra punch to it. My suggestion will be to work on that face to make it more detailed and to keep trying to give us new and exciting shapes and silhouettes like this.
Ćl : this look is actually really interesting. I love the furry Camo, I donāt think itās something we can see everywhere and I love how out of the box the make up and hair are. Overall I feel the references for this look are a little too out there but ... I like them? My suggestion is to try and refine your references so to make the look interesting without overdoing it.
Audrey Pence : itās a very simple look. But itās pleasant. I like the different textures in your dress with the see-thru fabric, I think it adds a little layer to it. But definitely you needed more volume somewhere. I feel you had to go big on the wig or the shoes at least to make this stand out. Because at it is, this is Karen going to the mall with his rich husband money, not even her own. My suggestion would be to think about a way to make your look more dramatic. I want a wow.
Daisy Chain-Me-Up : I see you going the āIām not like other girlsā route and I think it almost payed off. I like a queen taking a risk and the color palette is just great. I like how the white accents the feathers and together complement your skin tone but I feel you tamed it down. Especially on the thingy behind your head. I needed more feathers, make it bigger. To make this kind of looks stand out you need volume. My suggestion is to try and incorporate already existing dresses into your looks and give it your own spin to it and pay more attention to the details on your model especially with the hair and the make up.
Coco NĆ¼t Creme : I just love your style. Itās so upbeat and positive even if youāre holding a rifle or whatever. Thatās how you make a simple look and doll creator stand out. For how much your actual dress is basic being a tank top and some short pants, I love the helmet and the bandages you used or make it interesting and you did that. My suggestion would be to start and give your own spin to your looks with editing. I know you can as you edited in the bullets. Go all out.
Rita Bitch : canāt deny this is very simple. As this is just an uniform with an open jacket. I like the idea but I feel I needed some embellishments like idk some studs or chains. The makeup and hair are a little down toned as well. Overall this is very pleasant to look at, but I feel youāve been overdone by the other girls. My suggestion would be to treat every episode like itās finale, try and go out of your box. Wow us. And find a more detailed mug.
Red Velvet : not bad for a first timer. And I mean it. But if youāre going for this badass street kind of looks, just know you have some big shoes to fill as our latest AS2 winner was exactly that. With that being said know that here we are looking for more than pretty. We want to feel like we are being defeated by your appearance. I like the color palette here being monochromatic blue but you accented it with the orange jacket so I see you have your ideas *straight* about fashion. Now my suggestion is to think more āin for the killā and less āletās go to the mall todayā.
Kitty Kitty Meow Meow : you will make me cry. I love this look. Itās fashion, itās layered. The shape is right, itās very dynamic having so many textures and shapes. Maybe I canāt really see the actual shape of things but overall I am just in awe. Great mug and hair as well. Also I live how you didnāt just make a uniform but you did a complete look in the theme. Please continue like this. My suggestion would be try and be more clean with your looks.
Sissy Gaylord : you look so cute. I love this style. And I see you even edited your dress? Good job. I like that it might have been simple but you made it interesting with accessories. I like the bustier and the cape is to die for honestly. Also the hair is just... so drag. I love it. Probably you should have lost the ribbon but other than that great. My suggestion would be to always try and keep our excitement up. This style really offers itself to so many cute and magic moments please donāt lose it. But be aware I feel it will be easy to go on basic. Donāt do that. Always put your spin on it.
Eve Espe Ann : first thing first : I am obsessed with these eyes. I love them. Love them. And I love your face as a whole even tho the glasses really take away from your beautiful eyes. The rest is just a fabric crop tank top and some beach pants with very little accessories. And itās more about your body than the look itself and I donāt think that works here. My suggestion is to keep the eyes because theyāre amazing but you know I am gonna need some extreme more punch for the looks. I want to be wowed not to want to ask you if today was laundry day.
Mariana Munchies : loving the enthusiasm I am getting from you. Donāt ever lose that. But I have some points with this look. I see you trying to go the Alexis Mateo route with this winter camo look. But you look a lot white. I canāt really see details or where does the dress ends and your body begins but not in an artistic way. I feel this is very white and even cutting this look for the promo I had a hard time because even the background was white. You need to stand out more... literally. My suggestion is try accents. Like maybe if you want to do a monochromatic look try a slightly darker hair or a bustier. And this is season 8, watch even the shapes of your dresses. We want something more sofisticated.
Amanduhh : once again. I will cry. I am proud. I like this look. You really did that. I like the dress (maybe the skirt is too big but oh well), the makeup is right, the hair is right. I love that you made it more interesting with your bustier and I can see that after all this time, we are speaking the same language and I love it. My suggestion is to not lose this spark and go ahead and go big. And if that means literally like in this case... then do it.
Avra K. Davra : do I even have to say anything? I mean... this is a pro in action. I love how this is a uniform but you went to away from it itās almost not even that anymore. The details in this are amazing, I love all the belts making you mr cake almost look like a parachute. And I love the fringes on the cape. It all come together so well and that headpiece really makes it all blend together so well. I love how every detail is taken care of, like the grenade earrings and the mug is just so exciting. My suggestion would be to let it all loose and have more fun with the themes, as if I had to find a flaw to your look is that it is too strict to what you would think when thinking of camo. Sure, the execution brings you to the frontline, but Iād like to see a more goofy side of you.
I am sorry my dear but you are up for elimination.
