I already did lighten up. If your accusations weren't serious, then neither were mine. Sarcasm, Miss Ayu.

[Ayumi Hamasaki]

Ah! The Internet. Making sarcasm hard to pick up on since.... Whenever it was made.

Team Ayu - Volume 6

Well hello! I see we're finally out of teams. I love my Gwen, but it's good to have a little more freedom over what I choose. And I'm sure everyone feels the same. It's a good change. Speaking of change. I think I should too.



Now I'm ready to face the competition alone!

But let's talk about last week's photo. I'm sooo pissed Troian stole my second call out... BY ONE STINKING POINT! Urge to kill rising! Meanwhile, I'm pleasantly pleased that Sarah got first call out! But there was one thing to really confuse me. That was Amanda's critique. Well, it was just the part where she's like "You're a month early. September marks the end of summer." and I'm like "... I thought September was autumn. Maybe the further north you go, the later autumn starts? I'm not really sure. Maybe it's a different climate here than to where I'm from. (I mean, where I live down under is on approx the same latitude south as LA is North. Well really trees start to loose their leaves in late February, and the almond tree in my backyard blossoms in August. Very different.)

If I can defend Gwen here, the bleached/invisible eyebrow look was kind of all the rage in fashion a few years ago. All the top models had no eyebrows. It was kind of creepy, but it was what was in. Meanwhile, Emmy's photo. August in Australia, maybe, but in the Northern Hemisphere, I don't even know! It's too breath of life for August, especially since it would be when all the trees are like "Stuff this!! It's too hot to have all this on!" and they start to strip down to their bark and loose all their leaves.

AND OH MY GOOOOOODDD What the hell was Sienna thinking? First I can't tell who is who... But one of them looks like she's severely constipated, and the other one is very pleased about it, possibly on drugs. I guess that explains the art teacher smell lurking around here.

Anyway, time to rock the rest of these photoshoots! I am READY!


Love Ayu.

I really can't explain it. Probably can after I move to LA.

The leaves start changing in early October here and they sure as heck don't fall in September. Keep in mind that the leaves start falling a week after their colour changes. And yes I added the u for u

Team Ayu. - Vol. 7

Hiiiii~ First of all...

I got me a first call out!! This is sooo long overdue! I've been waiting and waiting, and finally, I'm coming out on top! No one will stop me! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

In other news...

Mileeeeeeyyy She's gone! This is sooo not cool! I mean, there were lots worse than hers! Especially Troian's! Oooh I hate how that stank hoe has stayed so long! Her photo I was all like



And not in the good "Ooh she's a chameleon with so many different looks" kind of way, but in a "Who the hell is that? I can't see a damn thing!" kind of way! I mean, for her to be ranked above any of the other girls is blasphemous! I firmly believe of the remaining 8 now, she deserves to be here the least. Plus, that bitch keeps lowering my Karma. I'm pretty sure I caught her like five minutes ago lowering it. I mean like apart from bitch about her behind her back, what have I done to her recently?! (Apart from get her eliminated in a separate competition?)



May I just say Charlize's picture: 100% predictable. As soon as I saw "Million Dollar Bill" I immediately knew she was going to choose that picture. Strong, yes, but obvious, no wow factor, it was a very safe photo for her.

I still retain that Gwen is being highly under rated. I mean, sure the song may have been about Whitney's struggles, or something, but Gwen took the song, and made her own, in her own style. Gwen and Whitney are two different and defined styles, and Gwen did it in her own style, breaking the boundaries of conventional modelling!

Ugh! I'm so flustered, despite my first call out! I need some water!


WHAT THE HECK JUST HAPPENED?!?

Love Ayu-chan <3

Team Ayu - Vol. 8


Hiiiiiiiii!!~~!!

First of all...



TROIAN IS ELIMINATED! FINALLY! I'm so happy! So very happy! Hehehehehehe!!! Doubling over my happiness is Gwen's first call out, and giving me an extra point! I hated that jumpsuit though, it looked very itchy, but that's what this theme is all about, isn't it?~

Charlize flopped with this photoshoot! Allowing me to almost over take her for best call out average! I'm almost there! And I might actually have a shot of winning this as well if she keeps up with these photos!

Anything Sarah tells you about breaking her hip is a huuuuge lie. All I did was go in to give her a hug, she got a fright and stumbled back over the equipment! She's just a bit clumsy, don't worry too much about it.

And damn you Emmy for taking the homosexual thing! I wanted that! ... But I can make do with what I have.

Tehehe~

Love Ayu-chan!

((PS. Amanda, I thought I might say that the leaves have started to change here within the last week. ))

Team Ayu - Vol. 9.

AYU READYYYYY?!? Hii~ It's Ayu-chan!

Wow! Final six! Spain! It sure is great being here. Food, culture AND Rafael Nadal's ass all in one place! Plus I get to share this beautiful place with my two closest friends in the competition, Sarah and Gwen!

I can't believe Anne forgot to submit a photo. Did she die or something, she was completely weird anyway, especially with some of her photo choices, but still, at least that's one major competitor out of the competition!

Oh, and my Gwen has stepped up her game! Two first call outs in a row, must be very exciting. I really find it exciting that the top 3 for the past couple of weeks have been Gwen, me and then Sarah. I hope it continues that way, not necessarily that order, until we get to top 3! Team Gwayurah Gellefanaki for the win (lol wat?)

Spain is a really broad topic for the shoot, and it's really hard to pin a single picture to such a beautiful country. I'll be interested to see what the contestants have to bring over here!

Love Ayu-chan!~<3

Team Ayu - Vol 11.

Well, here I am in the finale and I'm up against my girl, Gwen, and the infamous Charlize.

Honestly, I was hoping Charlize wouldn't be here. She has been slipping the past few weeks, and like, even her photo this week it wasn't really that impressive. I mean, I don't think it was a covergirl look. Yes, the lips were okay, but it was really pink. Usually with make up ads, the hair should be off the face, even if it's lips. Hers was a bit too sexy for covergirl in my opinion. Gwen's major fault was the lipstick, and mine was the accessories, but Gwen's and mine both make better ads than Charlize's would.

That being said, Charlize is my biggest competition. Despite having slipped the past few weeks (especially avant garde week! GROSS!), she does have 4 first call outs under her belt. I think I might be able to get points over her on some of those first call out shoots from some of the judges, but we'll see... But really, I've had less bad weeks than she has. And when I've had a bad week, my photo was still at least visually pleasing, it was just the fact perhaps it didn't fit the theme as well as it could've.

Personally, I like Gwen's portfolio over Charlize's. Gwen took a lot of risks, and Charlize really played it safe. Gwen's portfolio is more to my personal tastes than Charlize's. I mean, I'd choose Gwen's sexy over Charlize's. Gwen's Spain over Charlize's. Even Gwen's Spring over Charlize's autumn. Although all three photo that week were really strong!

As for me, I think I actually have a really good shot of winning, and it's just a matter of finding a good red carpet photo... That's going to be a bit hard for me, because I don't really like being on the red carpet. I hope I can surprise the judges with this, and in a good way.

Wish me luck!

Love Ayu-chan~<3!
