Models' Parting Words

I am so glad to have spent this time to get to know all these girls a little better. I am so grateful to have had this opportunity to meet Lisa Price, learn about her products and read her book "Success Never Smelled So Sweet." This experience was amazing and simply priceless. I learned so much -- and for that I am so thankful.

Renee
So long ... farewell. But this is not the last of me. I'll be back.

Bianca
I'm so sad this is over. I've learned a lot from these girls and made some lasting bonds. I can't wait to see who wins ... this is going to be a hard one.

Fatima
All I can say now is the decision is not in my hands, now I just have to sit back and wait to see who will win.

Dominique: Talent vs. Geography

Thu. Nov 06, 2008 | 6:11 AM

dominique_city.jpgWhat has Dominique feeling so down?

I went to a talent agency today and met with an agent. I felt frustrated leaving the agency. I received a lot of positive feedback but was told I don't have all the finances needed to move with my daughter anywhere right now. I felt a bit down, but I know I've got it together. I want to make all these things happen, and I know I can't do it focusing on what I lack. I am using it as motivation to stay focused on all I have to gain. No matter how hard things get, I made a promise to myself to never give up.

Modelville Game: Name that Model Baby!

Wed. Nov 05, 2008 | 5:38 AM

modelville_baby.jpgIt isn't easy to get people to show you their baby pics -- after all, we all look a little silly and had absolutely no say about the ridiculous outfits we were sporting. But these three former "Top Model" contestants -- and current Modelville ladies -- gave us some baby snapshots. Can you guess who these babies are? Answers on the next page!

Dominique: "I Made a Huge Mistake"

Tue. Oct 28, 2008 | 6:31 AM

Dominique's shopping regrets.

dominique_buyers_remorse.jpgToday started off a little rough. I went shopping in the morning with Bianca and wound up missing a challenge. I made a huge mistake and should have managed my time. I got a little frustrated with myself, but I put it behind me and got myself back on track. I know this is an intense competition, and I have to get it together.

Dominique: What's Her Family Connection to Lemon Ginger Mint?

Tue. Oct 21, 2008 | 5:58 PM

For Dominique, her product is all about her roots.

dominiqeu_lemon_ginger.jpgMy product is Lemon Ginger Mint Manicure in a Jar. I was excited about this product because it reminds me so much of my home roots. My mom is from the West Indies, so it was easy for me to connect to the familiar smell of lemon, ginger and mint. Anytime I got sick my mom would make a tea with lemon, ginger and mint. She also always cooked with lemon and ginger. The aroma of lemon, ginger and mint was always in the house.

This project is so unique because of everyone who is in it. Lauren, Fatima, Renee, Bianca and myself are so different but yet so alike. We all bring our unique flavor to this product line -- to me, that is amazing. I appreciate this opportunity to get to know and learn from these amazing young women. I am still focused on the goal set at the end. I am so ready to spread my wings and fly. Not just for myself but for my little girl.

Dominique: Getting a Second Chance

Fri. Oct 17, 2008 | 5:47 AM

dominique_blog5.jpgWhat is Dominique's drive to win?

I'm glad I got a second chance because I can do this. Man, I can do it. Plus, it's exciting. I'm really going to do the best I can for me and my baby. Well, let's see what happens, and I'm going to keep my fingers crossed.

Dominique: Day 1

Mon. Oct 06, 2008 | 10:24 AM


stripper_moms.jpgThe first day I moved in the house I felt like, “Finally, here is my second chance to really make things happen for me and my daughter.” I felt confident, ready to be creative and excited to come to New York to get a chance to follow my dream. I want to make my daughter proud and be a role model for her and other young people. Meeting Lisa Price was exciting. She is so insightful and strong. It was so great to see and meet the face behind this amazing line.
