So, I'll start showing you Look Elite Head Model's photos and no doubt, give my opinion.
When a Model Agency has a head model, that person must be untouchable!! As I remind so often, I'm not judging the person's character or personality. I'm just watching the professional side. The head model must be the BEST: the best shaped, the best model, the best styled, she MUST stand out. Let's take a look at Look Elite head model.
Laura18 Streeter
Laura18 did this entire show using the same brand of poses. Animated poses that were very fashionable a year ago, but are becoming really boring to watch now. Using them for an entire show, it's really really boring.

Here is one more of the animated poses I mentioned.
And again, in a different position of the runway.
The animated pose next, distorted the skirt completely. This outfit needed to be worked carefully, in terms of posing.
Changed outfit, but Laura18 kept the same animated poses. It became really boring.
And again.
Another outfit, the same poses. Again!
Another of those animated poses.
What can I say? This is a huge mistake a head model shouldn't do. New models will watch a fashion show like this and will look up to the head model. Really, SL Models need to be better and better and transform, change, rule the trends, or else they fade, sorry to say.After the head model, I bring your attention to Look Elite Academy and their trainer. She was one of the models too. Again, the Model Trainer MUST be outstanding. Be different from all the rest and shine. After all, that's the person who teaches modeling techniques. Really, we have to raise up the bar and have outstanding models in these positions,in a Model Agency.
So, here is Bourbon Zenovka
I don't know why Bourbon chose the next walk during this first set. The first set of outfits was clearly casual and sexy, but this walk??? It's awful!! I can imagine again a new SL Model watch this walk on the runway and think 'Cool!'. No, it's not cool at all. It's not fashionable, it's not elegant, it's not certainly sexy. It's horrible to watch!
When she posed, next, the contrast between the next pose and that uncommon walk was appauling!!! If the Model used really different poses - out of the box, even - then, maybe, maybe that walk could be justifiable.
And there comes that walk again!!
See?
With the next set of outfits, Bourbon changed the walk, finally!! The poses could have been outstanding, but they weren't.
There is a very slight - really slight difference - between a sexy pose and a pose that goes beyond sexy and is not even elegant. A good example is the next pose.
The next pose, with this long dress is even worse.
The next one is better.
Again, I restate that I'm not a judge of character, I look always at the professional side of each runway model. I'm really appauled, because there is no reason for SL Model Agencies and Models to be just average or below average, especially when they have a 'certain' position in the Model Agency itself.
Next, let's see another Look Elite Model - Madeleine Dollinger.
Great avatar!!Good pose, very sexy, goes with the style and the outfit.

Madeleine dared to go 'out of the box' with her poses and the result was interesting to watch.
And then, there it was. The same horrible walk again!!
And the next pose with the fingers? Not good, not fashionable at all.
When Madeleine moved, really, this walk is so horrible to watch!
And here she was posing - different poses, original ones, very good!!
Here is another very cute pose, for the outfit. I liked it.
Changing outfits, Madeleine was more average, so to speak. That's what I call 'the comfort zone'. Poses were almost always the same.
Even after changing position on the runway, Madeleine did the exact same pose.
Looking now at Miaa Rebane. Miaa is an average model, as I said before. She works well on the runway, but for some reason, she doesn't stand out. In this set, her poses were very well chosen, sexy and elegant.
Changing outfit, she did good, posing.
Next pose is what I consider an amazing pose! It's stylish, elegant, classy. If it goes well with the outfit - which is the case, here - this next pose is really good.
Romantic pose, good for the dress, the colour, the hair. Good, good.
In no particular order, here is Payton Heron. Payton used one of the old walks. Some SL Models still use this walk now, after being released a couple of very good runway walks. She could have updated the walk.
Simple pose.
Very good pose for a gown, next.
Simple pose, again.
And suddenly, something happened.
Payton posed like this.
It could have been a good pose, if it were combined with other similar poses during this set. I mean, if Payton decided from the beginning to go a little 'avant garde' with poses, this one would have been good. But it showed up as abrupt and it didn't make any sense, there.
And I saved the best for last!! There was a Look Elite Model that rocked that runway. Wow, double wow, triple wow and I mean it!!
Here is Bety Dudek - a Model that I'll follow, for sure. She did an outstanding job in this show!
The way she presented herself, made me - as a potential client - want to buy the dress, the skin, the hair, everything!
Amazing face, gorgeous avatar, elegant poise.
Bety did an amazing job in this show. If she continues to style up and improve, she will surely be a model to look up to.
In the following set, the skin she chose, the eyelashes, the poise on the runway, the hair, the whole styling was simply amazing!
The photos are clear, right? Bety Dudek stood out clearly in this show. Watch out 'older' models!! She was the star!!
There was another model in this show that I considered the chance of not even mentioning. But I'll just show you a faceshot I took of her and you'll understand why I had doubts about her. It really is important in SL Model world to be good, to improve, to get better, to rule the trends. A good model is not going to wear an old skin, with a bad shape looking like this:
I'm sorry, this lady needs a bodylift and fast!! I'm not going to say her name here. This avatar should NEVER be in a fashion show. She could be in places like 'Classic With Style' but on the professional level, professional Model Agencies in SL must raise the bar, higher and higher and be demanding with their models. I can't think of a reason why this kind of avatar would be a Model in SL, a professional model in an Agency like Look Elite. Maybe I expected too much from this agency.Anyway, moving forward, congratulations Bety Dudek. You were the star of this show! I'll show you Bety's face again. Now, compare with the previous faceshot. One is a SL professional model, the other shouldn't even be on a runway.
