american beauty.

This gorgeous specimen of a lady is 2nd runner-up of America’s Next Top Model Cycle 1, Elyse Sewell. In my opinion, she should have won the show; she was the best model on there, hands down. She was smart, pretty, funny and knew how to pose without even thinking about it. Unfortunately, the judges thought she was “patronising” and her intelligence was too “intimidating”, so she was eliminated before the final runway show. However, she is now the most successful model ever to have appeared on ANTM and is very big over in Asia. Just goes to show that they were wrong to give her the boot. Go, Elyse!
