Mathias Lauridsen

Mathias Lauridsen is not a prince but he is Danish. “The Danish Prince” is a nickname, and as far as nicknmaes go it’s not  a bad one to have. Fans gave him the name as a term of endearment paying homage to his beauty and fame. I can see why. more…

Sophie, Laura and Annaliese, Top 3 Finalists on America's Next Top Model: British Invasion

Sophie, Laura and Annaliese

America’s Next Top Model‘s 18th cycle is down to its final three contestants: Laura, Sophie and Annaliese. This cycle brought a new flavor to the ANTM series. Subtitled British Invasion, they gave our friends from across the pond on Britain’s Next Top Model a second chance to win the title against aspiring new American hopefuls. With a season full of crazy makeovers, house drama and model walk-offs, this could be considered America’s Next Top Model’s most insane season yet, but who will walk off the runway with the biggest prize in Top Model history?

According to ANTM official page, the winner will receive “a career-launching prize package: a modeling contract with LA/NY Models, a chance to be a guest correspondent on the hit newsmagazine EXTRA, a fashion spread in Vogue Italia and the cover and spread in Beauty In Vogue, the face of AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL perfume Dream Come True, a single to be released with CBS and a $100,000 contract with CoverGirl cosmetics.”

In a preview for the big episode, Annaliese comments, “I’m the total underdog, no one expects me to win.” Laura, the last American standing is determined to represent her stars and stripes: “I want it so bad, I can’t go home.” But by the looks of the preview, a disaster-potential princess photo shoot might not leave Laura with the fairytale ending she is hoping for.

America’s Next Top Model airs on Wednesdays at 9/8c on the CW. This episode will surely leave ladies and gentlemen on the edge of their seat asking Tyra’s famous tagline: Who will become America’s Next Top Model?

Last year marked the debut of the men’s line, and it was a hit. They released a trio of scents called Blanc, Bleu, and Vert based on their most popular and signature polo shirts. more…
