Canada's Next Top Model - Jeanne

Ep. 8 - Brutality Reigns Supreme

2007-07-19T11:30:00Z

Brutality reigns supreme! It KILLED me to see both the lovely Tara and the cute and quirky Tia go.... But I know both these girls can have strong careers in the business if they choose too. Tia was one of my personal faves... Not a conventional beauty, but I did like her for her strong editorial qualities...and her endearing personality (even though she may have driven some of the girls nuts with all her chatting!) I almost see her as a possible TV personality.....she really is fun. Tara of course...(read more)

Ep. 7 - Looking For Outstanding & Unusual Qualities

2007-07-12T11:30:00Z

Well, the cover shots were all pretty amazing alright-I have no doubt that each and every one of these girls has the potential to have a successful career in this business-if they can "pump up" the dynamo quotient. I especially loved Rebecca's shot-though it was more Italian Vogue that Fashion Magazine. That girl really does have an extraordinary look. I also though Tia really rocked, pulling off that retro look with such ease.... No question she's got what it takes too. But we're...(read more)

Ep. 6 - For the record...

2007-07-05T11:30:00Z

Sometimes, these decisions are just too excruciating to make! Thank GAWD that we managed to hold on to both Tara and Tia.... I've grown so fond of both of them. Tara still needs to give me some more personality though...And as for Tia.... Well, I'm almost afraid that she's got TOO MUCH personality for some. Still, I think her quirky qualities could bode well for her. I want someone MEMORABLE to win this competition! I'm a little weary of just plain pretty.... I want someone who can...(read more)

Ep. 5 - Decision Dilemma!

2007-06-28T11:30:00Z

Things are getting increasingly tough. So much potential in all these remaining girls... But so hard to project just who's going to be able to pull it all together before the end of the competition. I'm really concerned about the gorgeous Cori. She's such a doll ... so beautiful. But I'd hate to throw her into that fashion "snake-pit"! It really can be brutal and heartless sometimes, and she seems so vulnerable and meek. Not sure if she's going to be able to pump it...(read more)

Ep. 4 - Tough Love

2007-06-21T11:30:00Z

One of the most enigmatic things about working on this competition for me is the fact that with each week, I fall more in love with the girls. As I get to know them all a bit better, I guess that's inevitable, especially with this bunch. They really are all smart... and articulate... and sensitive. And their inner beauty radiates far beyond their amazing physical attributes. "Training" them this week... "preparing" them for the type of media monsters they may encounter should...(read more)

Ep. 3 - The Right Fit

2007-06-14T11:45:00Z

This is getting more torturous by the week, no question. The big picture here is all about what it takes to make it as a TOP model. Personality certainly counts for something - something pretty big. But if that was the only criterion, then Steff would be a shoe in. She’s one of the smartest, most composed, and seemingly most grounded young women of her age that I’ve ever known. And of course she’s beautiful, with a knockout body. But I see her more as a kind fashion editor than...(read more)

Ep. 2 - Potential Problems...

2007-06-07T12:00:00Z

Whew! Talk about tough…. Incredible to think just how much potential it seems ALL these girls have. But that being said, sheer beauty alone DOES NOT a top model make…. We’re looking for myriad qualities here, and passion and edge and personality and toughness and spirit are all important pieces of the puzzle. There’s also the question of the right physical features…. And let’s face it….. While Jacqueline is a stunningly gorgeous young woman, I just don’t...(read more)

Welcome back!

Can't believe it's already been a year since our last search for Canada's Next Top Model. Really pumped about the competition this cycle, mainly because the fabulous Jay Manuel's on board. He knows this competition so well, I'm sure he'll prove to be a great "guiding light" for all of us judges. And how fabulous is it that my buddies Paul Alexander and Yasmin Warsame are rounding out the judging panel! They're both going to bring a lot of valuable insight into...(read more)
