I agree. I think Brooke's problem is just the way she looks. She had to fight against her 'high school cheerleader' appearance, but unfortunately it shines through in almost every photo. That's why I think she always looks like she's pretending to be edgy. She had a hard time transforming, unlike Mercedes (C2), another 'cute' girl who actually turned out a 'fierce' photo without too much trouble.
She really should have held it back a bit but I love how edgy this normally "pretty" girl can become.Her pose is so strong you can tell this girl wanted to be the next top model,I just adore her!
