Next up on my Hairstyle Obsession Mania, is the much-awaited Short Dos' are Love entry!

Dream on Leonie. Does anyone even bother with hairstyles like you do?

Okay, for now, I'm only taking certain styles that I liked from America's Next Top Model. And, I didn't go through all of the styles throughout all of the cycles. Just a particular few which grabbed my attention. Oh yeah, did I mention that I love their portfolios too?

Let's start with..

Renee Alway from Cycle 8.

Before and After.
I seriously love the After shot.

Her first photoshoot aimed to portray Anti-Gun.
Before her makeover, with her still long hair.

Glam Rock.
Yesh, the lady model there,
the dude's a drag queen.
Watch the episode yourself if you want to know the details.

Renee's CoverGirl shot.
A really natural profile shot, if I say so myself.

Can you believe she got eliminated even though her portfolio is practically ah-mazing?
The reason from the panel of judges?
"She looks too old."
Pffffft.
I still think she's awesome.

Next..

Brittany "McKey" Sullivan from Cycle 11.
Which recently ended on Channel 5.
I didn't get to watch this cycle by the way.
Will do some catching up on this cycle ay-sap.

After the makeover.

Featuring Susan Holmes swimwear.
The hair looks hawt.
Seriously.

Theme : Natural Disasters.
This is supposedly portraying a heat wave?
Interesting.
I uploaded this shot because I thought her hair looked real nice in this photo.

I think this is McKey's best in her entire portfolio.
Basically, she's not my favourite model.
But, honestly..

I fell in love with her 'do.
That's why she's in this post!
Okay, before moving on.


Note : These three are among my favourite models from this cycle, other than Isabella and Tahlia. Too bad..none of them were America's Next Top Model. How splendid. I'm only featuring these three because they sport really edgy short 'dos.

Starting from the one who grabbed my attention the most before her makeover.

Felicia 'Fo' Porter, before her makeover..

..and after!
She did make a big fuss among the rest of the models over her makeover,
but I don't exactly blame her that much.
Still, I really loved her makeover,
even if she didn't at first.

Fo and Aminat as stockbrokers on Wall Street in Manhattan.
This is one of my favourite shots of Fo in the entire cycle.
Full view please!
'Cos if you don't,
you're freaking not doing any justice to this shot.
You have my word for it.
Check out their expressions y'all!

I'd always heart outstanding profile shots.
This is one of them.
And I have only one word to describe this.
OUTSTANDING.

Coming up next on the list..

Lauren 'London' Levi-Nance.
She looks alright here.
Wait till you see what's next.

Yesh,
that's how she looked like after it was announced that she is going to be one of the finalists for Cycle 12.
I thought her look was unique,
with her headbands and all,
but what's next will definitely make an unforgettable impression.
Well..it did to me, anyway.

Presenting..


London after her makeover.
Hair was cut short and dyed platinum blond.
Ooh la la~!
I was like..
"Can I cut my hair like hers?
Complete with the platinum blond?!"
I WISH.

In my opinion,
this was her best among her other photographs in her portfolio.
Full view as well, please!

Another outstanding profile shot.
Not as dynamic as Fo's,
but it does channel her colour - blue.
Cool and icy cold.

Finally, as this entry is coming to an end..

Celia Ammerman, the typical girl next door.
Her personal wardrobe is unbelievably stylish.
And from the girl next door..

..to glam rocker.
I.
Love.
Her.
'Do.

My favourite of Celia's.
Her profile shot.
Stunning, if not impressive.
What is really upsetting, is the reason why all three who are mentioned above got eliminated.

Fo got eliminated, because she doesn't have the modelesque height.
London got kicked out, because she was apparently fat.
Celia was dropped from the competition, and once again, you should find this reason familiar enough. She looks too old.

Where is the fairness in selecting the winner of America's Next Top Model nowadays?

In any case, I'm thankful enough if some modeling agency discovered them and fully develop their potential in modelling.

*****It doesn't help that Lynnie-jie just had a haircut too.

Did I mention it is really nice?

Jealous much. LOL.

I'm tempted to do all sorts of wild things with my hair, but for now..I'll keep it this way first.

Long enough to do some crazy experiments with cuts, angles and colours when SPM 2010 is officially over!

A year and a half to go!

Whoopee.

PS : I might just do another entry on hairstyles. XD

It’s not an English name I came up with for myself. My mother is indeed a genius in coming up with such a splendid name for me. Although my name has been unfortunately mutilated (nicknames are excluded) over the past years, full credits to my mum for my current identity.

I’m certainly looking forward to changing the word ‘patient’ to ‘survivor’! If you’re interested to read about my journey in battling lymphoma, you can click here to proceed to my cancer blog.

Ironic, I know; this blog is mainly pink instead. I like all colours actually, but I find myself having an affinity to the colour green. In fact, I can safely say that green is my soul colour.

Languages, music, fashion, photography, cultures, dance, literature, writing; just about anything, really. The arts truly intrigue me, especially thought-provoking pieces. Of course, the arts play a major role in inspiring me in my everyday life.

I don’t have a favourite genre – I read any book that interests me!

I am a trained right-hander from young, since apparently being left-handed is considered ‘wrong’. Basically, I’m ambidextrous! No wonder I find it easier to air guitar using my left hand than my right; I simply relate to the arts than subjects that deal with logical thinking better, too.

A stubborn Bull I am, too. I abhor being rushed. I prefer doing matters at my own reasonable pace. I don’t particularly like changes in my routine, but I can adapt quite easily. I’m a very practical person as well. I enjoy the beautiful things in life, but that doesn’t make me shun ugliness at all. Besides, it all depends on how one perceives beauty. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

Still am, but I’m slowly learning to accept imperfection into my life. Also, I’m doing my best to erase the many expectations I have so I could one day master the art of letting go and freeing myself to simple happiness and joy.

Compared to before, I’m less dramatic nowadays. Language-wise, I attempt to blog flawlessly in English and speak proper English online with my peers. Call me a Grammar Nazi all you want, but that’s how I roll. I only converse in perfect English in formal situations and during my dramatic outbursts. Otherwise, I’m absolutely capable of communicating like the average Malaysian!

It’s a different issue altogether when you’re forced to learn for the sake of getting good grades, though. Other than that, I’m open to new information and knowledge anytime! I especially would like to learn more languages and pick up new musical instruments.

…are just some of the things I would love to do in the near future, hopefully!

the basic rules apply. If you respect me, I’ll respect you. If you happen to be someone who has low EQ skills, I’ll try to be tolerant but my patience is definitely limited. I’m observant when it comes to human behaviour. I’m a person of many opinions, but I don’t voice them out unless I trust you enough; I’m very honest and candid when it comes to the people I can trust. Even though I trust very easily, not everybody can prove that they’re all that nice. Hurt me, and I’ll only defend myself if necessary. Hurt my family or my friends – you won’t find me holding back.

Is there anything else you would like to know about me?
Throw me your questions and/or doubts here! I honestly have nothing to hide, so you’ll expect the truth and nothing but the truth.

It’s only how I phrase my answers that you’ll have to be aware of.
