Yes a Ja'mie reference! You look soooo quiche girl like omg. I like how your photo does accurately reflect pride as being a negative attribute, your attitude doesn't look desirable and you look very self-absorbed here. The setting and styling compliments your desired goal of looking like the bitchy popular girl who considers herself to be first class (equipped with her own lap dog as seen in the photo). I enjoy this photo, more emphasis could have been present to further reflect the sin of pride but overall, a solid job.

This is one of the (probably) few times that your lips won't bother me. With the personality archetype you're trying to portray here, those lips are very fitting. Even though I still hate that type of lip, I can appreciate it for what it adds to the photo here. I can see pride in this shot, but it's not the strongest connection I've seen. I do see a little bit of the sloth in this shot, but pride is definitely the overriding theme here, so you're still good with me. I do like the placement of your right leg as that helps give us some more angles to see since your body is in profile here.

As you as you can probably guess, I had a LOT of options for this shoot when it came to Medusa. I took a bit of a risk choosing this one, because I know it’s one of those pictures that people will either love or just won’t get. But I absolutely love it. It’s one of my favorite Medusa artworks and I couldn’t pass the opportunity to submit it. It’s disturbing, it’s provocative, it’s sexy, it’s gory, it pays homage to Medusa’s death and most of all, it’s just a STUNNING piece of art. I love it and I hope y’all do too.

Medusa, Medusa I love it. Everything in this picture works together very well. I love how the hair looks, and the overall eye-catching nature. If there is something I don't like, it's actually the expression. Though it does bring an extra emotion to this picture, I think it could be better with a neutral expression.

I feel like this is the most interesting shot we're seeing this round, so you definitely have that going for you. I love what's going on with the snakes on your head. Not sure I fully understand what's going on with her mouth, but I like the visual impact all the lines create and even in the seeming randomness of some of them, they all feel like they have purpose. I think you are fortunate to have had your fictional character left for this shoot as I feel it's probably easier to find artistic shot with the fictional characters, but that doesn't detract from this being a strong photo.

Stunning in so many aspects. I love the cross between gore symbolism and fashion. The blood flowing from your cut throat forms a fashionable top with strings and the pile of snakes on your head looks like a remarkable headpiece. Modelling wise I enjoy the angles in your shoulders, however the shadow over your face steals emotion and facial detail however the symbolic nature of this shadow has powerful effects also. You have incorporated the theme of artistic well into your photo as well as covering fashion and modelling elements a photo well done.

Mila, I like the youthful feel and playfulness of this shot. I could see it working well as an advertisement. I can see a decent sheen to it, but would have liked it to have been a slight bit more obvious. Still, pretty good shot for this theme.
Medusa, this is probably my favorite of the three. Your lips are stunning and your unique tongue definitely draws attention to that area. However, if I had one complaint, it's that the rest of the photo is so strong that it actually detracts some attention from your lips. Your snake hair is once again fantastic and I love your eyes, too. Can't get mad at a shot that's really strong.
Daphne, I'm positive that Janice gave you this task just to fuck with me. Your lips are definitely drawing attention here and I like the shade of lipstick on you; it's just the right shade for your pale complexion. It could be the lighting playing tricks on me, but do you have heterochromia? Anyway, theme is done great, but I'm not sold on your look here. I feel like your hair isn't framing your face in the most flattering manner and while I understand it's how your teeth normally are, your buckteeth are bothering a bit more than normal. Still, a solid advertisement.

Mila: This is a very flirtatious, catalogue photo of you and it works so well. The way in which you are playing with your accessories with your mouth is drawing the viewers attention to your lips - the prime focus for this shot. Your cheekbones, wondrous eyes and little dimple in your chin help you to look like a unique model in this photo. A pleasing photo.
Medusa: This photo was made to be a lipstick commercial for you. Your face looks stunning with its profile approach, a combination of beautiful art and a beautiful face work well here. I especially enjoy how the background is full of snakes an extension of what makes you unique.
Daphne - Can someone tell me what the difference between lipstick and high end lipstick is? Either way your lips are selling your product, they pop out like anything in this mostly white photo. That's the major plus side to this photo. Your face in itself is striking, you have powerful features. However I'm not enjoying the washed out look that you have from the white make up, its stolen your natural beauty and made you look a little clown like.

By high-end, I just meant *expensive*[/alexperry]. Daphne's buckteeth would not go over well in the Walmart cosmetics section.

Okay, third attempt at this. >_> Internet keeps failing.
I'll start with Daphne: Yes, I gave you lips to fuck with Noel, and you're right, high end is just another word for expensive. You definitely wouldn't see this for Covergirl or Maybelline. You may for L'Oréal Paris or Rimmel London though. This is a high end ad at its most basic level. I think it's effective in that manner. I just think overall, it may be lacking in the execution category - which is mostly about aethetics. I think I'd prefer a bolder, darker background.
Onto Mila now. I think this works on a very commercial level. I think the main area though I have a problem with here is how much attention is on the eyes. It's not a very bold lip colour, and I think it kind of gets lost among the mascara and eye products.
Finally, Medusa. Honestly, I'm on the fence here. I am not entirely a fan of the tongue. However, I love the lip colour. Otherwise, it is a very strong picture for a lipstick commercial, despite that minor aesthetic flaw in my tastes. Overall, a good job.

Daphne, that face is stunning, and intense. I really adore your lips here. The outfit is gorgeous too. The walk is very graceful and elegant. I'm going to nitpick a bit here. Your cleavage looks more like pecs here, and you're not Andrej Pejic... Or are you... ..... You are! Aren't you!
Mila, the dress and the pose is great, but my biggest qualm here comes in the trying-to-be-sexy face. Rather than sexy, it looks very tired. The lips are probably the worst part for me. If I chop off the head, perfect. But nobody would recognise you.
Finally, Medusa. This is probably the most striking and interesting cosplay. I think it's very tastefully done. However, in my scoring, I think I may have to dock some points for fashion content. The make up and styling of the face is great though. Also, the pose. I'm going to have to dock points there to for the pose, because all your limbs look amputated.

Daphne you look fierce! This is a simple runway shot with fresh fashion and what appears to be a natural model. Your face has always been a focus point in your photos due to its unique spacing of the eyes and the large mouth, here your face looks naturally appealing even though its not the focus of the shot. Overall this is a very fitting and effective runway shot well done.
Mila this is a different approach to the typical stationary red carpet photo which is great to see. I like how the photographer appears to be chasing you to capture your presence rather than you posing motionless. Your dress is beautiful and flowing which suits your body as well as giving a fashion appeal to the shot. Your expression could have been more powerful you do look a little bored or unimpressed by the whole event but I've definitely enjoyed this alternative red carpet photo approach.
Well hello real life Medusa! You are one scary, attractive and intriguing character. This photo is very impressive; the way you have contorted your body gives an effective pose as well as effectively concealing and yet accentuating your nakedness at the same time. The makeup, crown of snakes and setting are all very complimentary and reflective of Medusa herself. Although the lack of clothing may impact your fashion appeal, I actually find the crown and makeup to be quite enticing fashion wise. I've never seen such a cute butt before by the way.

Daphne, you definitely know how to walk, but you don't need me to tell you that. I'm not the biggest fan of your face in this shot, but I'm beginning to feel like a broken record there. You just have a very harsh look and I feel like the expression is a bit too much. However, it has good fashion, good action, and good styling.
Mila, I'm going to have to echo the other judges here. I love the dress and the pose is a nice take on the red carpet photo, but the expression is a little... blah.
Medusa, I'm going to have to say to you here what I said to TestosterOWNED here: when it comes to tasteful nudes, I make up for the Fashion Content by going with the overall styling and the look of your skin in the photo. I would never want to prevent people from submitting shots like these if they work with the theme and this really works. It's a very impactful visual and I love the uniqueness of your pose. Definitely loving this shot.
