Nobody I liked. The VMAN/Ford Model Search Finalists were announced, and I have to say that I am disappointed. There were so many other guys that had much more potential. As for the finalists themselves? I scrolled through every single page on entrants and did not see them once. And if I did? They didn't stand out, because obviously I don't remember them. This is not to say that AJ, Petey, and Adam are completely devoid of any model characteristics. They can be models, but I doubt their potential to be blue chip.
But what a letdown! I don't see the point of V Magazine encouraging the participation of voters if the vote count obviously plays no role in the ultimate decision. It's not like the agency conducting the search is going to let the general public tell them who to sign. They'll sign who they want. The voting just gets the participants hopes up, which only leads to them crashing and burning in the end.
VMagazine/Supreme's model search is just beginning, hopefully the results will turn out more favorable. It should be interesting- Anya Kop (excuse me, Anya
Rozova)- has entered the contest and sits comfortably in the #1 position of voting glory. Do you think she has what it takes to be the latest Supreme wondergirl?
You know you love me!

Update: Anya is no longer entered in the competition. She has either withdrawn or has been removed. It is also possible that her entry was fake.
It's always exciting to hear when a guy snags a campaign. Unlike with the girls, not many designers tout which male models they will be using. So it's exciting when you hear that a guy has snagged a HUGE campaign and ESPECIALLY exciting to know that it is one of your favorite guys that got the job. So just in, ladies and gentleman, Taylor Fuchs is set to star in the Valentino FW08 campaign. Get excited people!
