What is an accurate definition of a top model? Well, a top model is a highly-paid elite fashion model who usually has a worldwide reputation and often a background in haute couture and commercial modelling. Welcome to World's Next Top Model. I am your host, Jessica Stam. What am I, Jessica, exactly looking for in a girl? Well, I'm looking for personality, creativity, humor, girls of all colors and of all shapes, spice and that extra spunk. I want girls who can handle the cut-throat business of the modelling industry. I'm launching a world-wide search to find this perfect girl. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity- take it while you can, and don't waste it. Fourteen unique girls will make it into this competition, and will do fierce photoshoots from Next Top Models across the world, as well as from popular fashion magazine, VOGUE. Get ready for an exhilarating journey. This is World's Next Top Model.

Photoshoot Six.| Happily Never After
At five thirty a.m., the final three models walked into an old factory-like structure. Heels clumped loudly against the hard concrete flooring. Jessica Stam, posed rather modelesqued on an iron table, greeted them with a radiant smile.
"Hello, you lucky three! Are you all ready for the photoshoot? This is your absoulete last chance of impressing us, judges, before we decide on a winner! Today, your shoot will be very simple, yet hopefully fun! The theme of the photoshoot is 'Happily Never After'. You will have to do two poses- one as a villian and the other as a princess. These two poses will be combined to create one photograph. Instead of the usual 'Happily Ever After' fairytale, it's instead going to be sad and the exact opposite plot will happen. This basically means that the villian will reign, and the princess will be destroyed. You must try to make everything in your picture look like the original Disney fairytale. For example, you can't change the colour of Belle's dress from yellow to red. You can use props and characters, such as for Ariel, you can use King Tritan, her other sisters, her best fish friend, Flounder, the prince, Eric, and for Ursula, you can use her eels, Flotsam and Jetsam. Just make us believe the story. Now, let me assign the characters."
Characters:
Fianna: Cinderella & Evil Godmother
You may use extra characters in your photograph such as Drizella, Anastacia, Fairy Godmother and the Prince.
Genia: Snow White & Evil Queen
You may use extra characters in your photograph such as the Prince, the Seven Dwarfs, the Huntsman.
Gemma: Aurora & Malificent
You may use extra characters in your photograph such as the three Good Fairies, King Stefan, Queen Leah.

Shoppinstar - July 30, 2008 12:12 PM (GMT)
The final two walked briskly into the panel room, sweat treckling down their palms as they were very anxious, scared yet excited. Jessica Stam smiled at them, wearing a simple blank tank, latex leggings and bright red strappy sandals.
"This is your last panel for World's Next Top Model. You all look very sophisticated- like supermodels! Who knew, that Gemma and Genia would be here today, as the final two? We're here, tonight, to find who's World's Next Top Model and walk away with some excellent prizes, such as the cover, an editorial and exclusive interview in RUNWAY Magazine, another cover, spread and contract with DIVA Magazine, an editorial in Alta Moda Magazine, a modelling contract with Victoria's Secret Boutique and a lingerie collection from the Intimissimi line from Victoria's Secret!. We will now critique your pictures. | QUOTE (Jessica Stam) |
Gemma: Throughout World's Next Top Model, you were always one of the stronger competitiors. You wow-ed us from the start, all to the end, with very few slips. I really loved looking at your picture this week. It captured every essence of the story, Sleeping Beauty. You pulled off Maleficient extremely well, with an added oomph of sexyness! The costumes were well chosen. I quite like the background, as it represents so much of the story. You can't exactly tell what is the 'Happily Never After' in this photo, but it's still a good try. I do have a few critiques, though. In the photograph, it looks like if Aurora is floating on air, because I can't seem to find a chair or anything below her. Also, you should've added shoes to her outfit. It would've been more modelesque. The prince looks very good, he just needs a little more emotion to express his current feelings. Thank you, Gemma.
Genia: I must say, you were also one of the stronger competitiors during the course of World's Next Top Model. You delivered amazing photographs always. Your picture this week, was so beautiful, graceful and elegant that I think it should be in the pages of Vogue, for a 'Happily Never After' editorial. It's really astonishing how you could pull of the Evil Queen so amazingly, while still being a model! You made her look really victorious! On the other hand, your interpretation of Snow White wasn't all that great as that of the Evil Queen. Snow White is a very dainty princess, and I don't see that being pulled off here. You could have made her more like Snow White, by adding her legendary hairstyle- the cute bob with the headband with the bow. The background isn't a scene-like place from the movie, which was required by the rules, though. Anyways, it was an excellent photo. Thank you, Genia.

| QUOTE (Gisele Bundchen) |
Gemma: That's incredible! I love the outfit you're wearing and how it shows your leg which is a nice detail in my opinion. I also like your face since you have the evil expression on and the pose is magnificent, especially since you also interact with the guy when you pose like that. I also think that having the prince falling for the witch while the princess cries in the back is definitely a bad ending to the story, so kudos for that since it was what this round was all about. The background is also nice and it really fits the legend, although I think it would had been better if there were dark sky showing through the door's window, and not a tree. As a whole this is one of your best pictures in this contest, so well done and good luck.
Genia: The first thing that caught my eye is the background-it doesn't fit Snow White at all... a forest with a hut in it would had fit much better than that. I also think Snow white shouldn't had a pout, and it would had also been better if we could see your right foot here. But other than that this is another incredible picture this round. You look amazing-the way the hair blows in the wind along with the dress is stunning, and the pose is just too amazing for words since it looks really powerful. The lighting is also absolutely astonishing and the positions are really nice. As a whole you did an amazing job, so well done and good luck.

| QUOTE (Gemma Ward) |
Gemma: Wow, this is amazing, I absolutely love it! I don't actually know the story of Sleeping Beauty, so I had to do a quick google search. I want to say how well you've managed to replicate Maleficent's look, it's stunning! Are all the clothes hand-drawn? They're all amazing, nice work! The editing overall is excellent. Your pose is amazing, you look so powerful and in control. Your expression is gorgeous as well! It's hard to tell exactly what's what in the background, and I'm not sure if there is a seat there, but it looks like Aurora's floating. Also, you don't seem to be standing on anything. I know I'm not familiar with the story, but from looking at this photo, it's not really clear what's going on. I probably need to know the actual story to understand, but it's just a thought; because if you look at Genia's photo, you can pretty much tell what's happened. Apart from those few things, this photo is amazing, and I think it's one of your best in the entire competition. Good luck in the final decision. You have been so consistent throughout the competition, and have been one of my favourite girls. You've also been a pleasure to judge. All the best!
Genia: Stunning. This photo is truly amazing, I am so impressed! You've captured the essence of the fairytale so well! The editing is superb, you've done an amazing job. I'm guessing that the dresses are hand-drawn; they're great! I love the shoes. You look so powerful in this shot - I love the pose and your fist really shows how in control you are. I adore Snow White's expression and pose; there's so much detail. I only have very few negatives about this photo. The bottom of Snow White's dress is a bit rough and jagged; I'm not sure if that was intentional, but if it wasn't just make sure you perfect all those edges! Also, there could be a tiny bit more shading, especially near Snow White's legs and arms - as well as their shadows on the ground. Other than those tiny little things, this photo is pure perfection! I've said this about Gemma's photo too, but I honestly think that this is your best photo so far. Well, as this is the final round, I want to wish you good luck. Looking through your photos, I can really see how well you've improved and you've had some of the best photos of the whole competition.

FINAL TWO:
Full Name: Genia Kozlowski
Age: 19
Weight: 135 lbs
Height: 5'9
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Blue-Grey
Childhood Experiences: As the niece of the King of Poland, Genia Kozlowski was given many opportunities when it came to the wealthy life. She simply had it easy, had no worries about buying that dress she always wanted or her looks, her mother (one of the prettiest in the country) passed down her luscious lips and popping eye color while her father passed her blonde hair and nose. She had close ties to many people, some whom wanted her to fail and others to succeed. It was the people who desired her to fail that added to her strength and possibly her conceitedness. One of them had killed her father, a tragic event that angered her more than anything. Losing that father figure she began to rebel, against her mother and her family name, and she started exploiting herself in shocking manners. However, her closest friends and her two sisters changed her ways by explaining to her that she isn’t just hurting herself but her father’s love for her…she was always seen as the beautiful sweet girl. Soon enough, she changed back to who she was, being nice and simply gorgeous, but she still maintained that rebellious streak…which always appeared every now and then. Nonetheless, she is looking to show the world how her strength and story can motivate many who aren’t necessarily on the right track in their lives, and to teach them that you can succeed to be who you want to be…for she is still able to maintain her sweet and sexual side without it being overbearing.
Full Name: Gemma Kendrick
Age: 20
Weight: 123 lbs
Height: 5'8
Hair Color: Blond
Eye Color: Green-Brown
Childhood Experience: Being a twin isn’t always easy, I was always the thinner and prettier one. The girls in primary school where all jealous of me and so they picked on me. Also I totally suck at gym, my sister is quite sportive but I preferred to play with my dolls. That’s why Evelyn’s daddy’s favorite. I didn’t have many friends and I didn’t get along with Evelyn. I remember that I had a small teddy bear that was given to me when I was born. I always told him all my secrets and went to him for support. When I was a teen it wasn’t as nice either. Boys liked me because of my looks but not because of my personality. I never really dated because I knew they just saw me as a prize: whoever dated me would win the bet. Lucky I was spotted when I was 15 by a modeling agency. I finally made some friends and I started to get along with Evelyn. I learned that I shouldn’t care so much what the others thought about me because the modeling world is hard. My childhood wasn’t always that nice but it made me the strong person that I am today.
