  • The judging process looked very grueling and very detailed……didn’t realize that Ford licensees also were part of the judging committee. I questioned, as we all did, some of the finals results but realized in the end that I am basing my opinions from mere photos whereas the members of the judging panel saw these girls in person, with and without make-up, watched them walk, heard them talk and literally went through all of them with a fine toothed comb.

    I am looking forward to seeing all of these girls make names for themselves in fashion and as any other batch, I am curious who among these new lovelies will be this season’s or next season’s breakout star. I have my bets. :-)
