Amazing and powerful and gorgeous. She did her job right, because it really does exemplify high fashion and pull totally away from the commercial zone. I go back and forth between hers and Yoanna's this week, deciding which is better because I think they're both amazing, but both beat Shandi. And whether Yoanna's is better or not, this in itself is amazing.
She should have won! I like Yoanna more but Mercedes was called ahead of her more often AND had a better walk. COME ON! They only gave it to Yoanna because of her face, which I think is really unfair because then what's the point of the competition?
Winner should have been Shandi. But in the final beauty shots, I think Yoanna rocked it the best (perfection). Mercedes looks good here and she was styled beautifully but I don't like how her neck is thrusted forward, a little strained. And her eyes are not very expressive. I would agree with nosh, I think it's the weakest of the three, if not second. I'm quite undecided between Mercedes and Shandi. But I really think Shandi should have won (her overall look is right for fashion) but Yoanna's win was good too (but she only had a good face and needed a lot of toning up).
Absolutely beautiful and effortless, it's finger-wagging fiahce. She definitley should have been called first and made it to the final runway but I don't think she should have won. She should have made runner-up but I think Sara should have won.
