I love Laura!! SHe is sooo adorable. My two favorites made it to the top two, so frankly I didn't care who won. Laura owned the runway, and when she snapped the fabric off her face, it was like magic. Loved her. This picture is great, but she got owned by Nicole both in the commercial and print ad. It could have been anybodies game. Nicole's pictures were better though. <3 Still love her.
@ Kinmoku : I'm not so sure about that. I bet Tyra would have been just as happy to crown Sundai's midgetness as the winner... but having a girl who is 5'7" win this cycle feels like a bit of a cop out.
Did Laura even have a first call out? I think she was the first person in the final two without a FCO. Very *cough* deserving... should have gone home at the Pele shoot.
^ Dani had one FCO. It was the week when the girls were mermaids and had to "sell themselves" to the panel.
But I don't make a big deal out of Laura's having no FCO's because if the judges had called out all the girls based on their individual performances in the Cirque du Soleil shoot, Laura certainly would've been called first.
This shot is just sloppy IMO. The hair, the top, the arm, the hand. The creative director did NOT do their job here. My eye is going all over the place, in an unfortunate way. Also.. where's the life in the eyes? I thought we could count on her to sell it with the eyes!

Laura should've been called first with the horse photo, Erin did not deserve that FCO.
