The Face- Model Boot Camp

Watch this video to find out just exactly how much all of us had to give up to be on the show. It’s pretty intense. (To Vew: move your curser where they play button would, just where the post meets the video until it turns into a hand, then click and it should play) Sorry not the best video format for embedding.

SPOILER ALERT - My The Face Episode 1 recap for People Magazine.

I’m happy to announce that every week I will be blogging my experience filming The Face for People magazine! Here’s the full version of my first entry! Keep checking back at People for more:

In what is technically the first episode of my new show The Face, the audience is introduced to “three of the biggest names in the world of modeling”: The world famous supermodel Naomi Campbell, Czech bombshell Karolina Kurkova and then some weird looking girl named Coco Rocha… or was it Coca Roca? Oh hey, that’s me!

Last week in the casting special we hand picked our teams of four girls each. From thousands of hopefuls, Naomi, Karolina and I were presented with 24 girls, which we narrowed down to 12. The real games began as we picked our teams of four. There was a battle over the first girl who came out, a beautiful brunette named Margaux who Naomi announced she ‘had to have’. I wasn’t going to let her go without a fight, but in the end the decision between Team Naomi or Team Coco was left up to Margaux herself. To the shock of everyone on set, Margaux picked me! What? Even I would pick Naomi over me! I later lost the battle for a Chinese glamazon named Zi Lin to Naomi but hey, one outta two ain’t bad! The next girl on my team was 23-year-old Marlee, a mom and an all around great girl who I knew could be my chameleon. Then I picked Stephanie. Of all the contestants who made it to the top 24, Stephanie was the only one with absolutely no experience. That really excited me because I thought, here’s a blank canvas I can truly start from scratch with. The final model on my team is 26 year old Brittany who 28 year old Karolina Kurkova told 42 year old Naomi Campbell was “too old” to model. Oh KK, them’s fighting words! Despite Brittany’s make-over (which made her look like she’d gotten her hair caught up in a lawn mower) I saw boldness and a fight in her, and took her onto Team Coco as my final team member.

The goal in all this is to win the coveted Ulta beauty contract and throughout the season Naomi, Karolina and I hope to guide one of our girls to win that prize.

Episode 101 starts off with the girls moving into the loft. We are treated to some very, shall we say, “over-confident” sound bites from Christy (Team Karolina) making me glad I picked a team of humble girls. Team Naomi is very entertaining, if not disjointed team. The comic relief is Sandra, who announces that everyone “better watch out” - fair warning I suppose. Naomi tells her girls she doesn’t want any fights on her team - a team who were already clashing five minutes into the show. This should be interesting.
