"I'm a carefree, honest and hardworking young model and I would love nothing more than to represent the United States of America. I was born and raised here and I'm proud to call this country my home."

~LadyAshe~: Don't worry. You won't need major photoshopping skills. Just basics like text and border. And for rounds you have the option of ingame or photoshopped backrounds. Hope to see you join.

emone and BEAUTYqueen: I can't wait to see your entries.

star.lilly: Wow! Natasha is gorgeous.

Thanks lily. I'm not sure if her makeup is extreme enough in the 2nd picture though.

I love it.
If you feel that it isn't extreme enough for you, you can always change it, but I think it's fine the way it is.

LilacBaby, if I have time, I'll create some clothes for prizes. I do not promise anything, but I'll try to create some pretty clothing pack. When they're ready I'll upload them on some site and send you a link trough PM, if that's allright?

That's perfect. I hope you'll be able to make them.

Quick Question: Like star lilys, does your sim need to have a different hair each time?!?!

Star lilly, you did great! She kind of looks like the Natasha from Americas Next top model.

No, she doesn't. That is completely up to you!

Okay finished! finally

" Since i was young i always dreamed of being a model like the girls in magazines. Race or Nationality doesn't matter. This is my chance to show that i am good enough and that just because your not fully American, doesn't mean you still can't strut it." - Liana

Oh, this looks fun. I'm joining! :]

Because when I was young, I wasnt what you could call the pretiest girl in school nor was i ever nominated for prettiest girl in class. However before my mother died she had always told me that beauty lies in the heart and eventually in would shine naturally and we should not force it out. So upon my mother's advice I want to stand out and show other inferior girls that everyone's beautiful in their own way. Beauty just shines out naturally and it lies deep in everyone's heart core.

BEAUTYqueen: Very pretty. I'll add you to the list right away.

Kazu: I can't wait.

Emaone: She's beautiful. I really love the body shot.

Hi guys!

Wow you all make such beautiful Sims, I don't even know what I am thinking entering, stinking noob, that I am. *lol* So If I'm doing something wrong here, please don't get mad or anything I'll change it immediately...
So this is the first Sim I have ever been happy with after spending ages in body shop. I hope using custom content that I haven't done at all is ok - I want at some point but I need to figure out how.
So here she is...

Why Should I Be America's Next Beauty?
"Not because I am the most beautiful, nor because I am the wittiest, the funniest or the most stylish - but because I have strength and passion in my heart and I believe I can portray a positive image of independance, grace and critical thinking to the young women of America."

P.S.: Sorry, sorry for the too big pictures! Changed it!

I might enter but it depends. how much editing skils are you looking for because all i can do is text and borders.


Im also not the good at my pictures but im getting better at them though.

I might enter, but first, I need to get my game up. And I have to download a photoshop.

From a practical standpoint, I've been modeling since I was an early teen so I know my way around photographers and cameras. I also feel that most women can identify with my "girl next door" looks. Because of that fact, I think I can present most clothing and products in a very successful manner for the merchant.

thanks Lilac baby. Hi LailaJohanna! Welcome to the forums! Hey your model is soo beautiful!! She's a beauty! I loved her bodyshot! cool outfit! Nice avie. And pors, love your bodyshot! :D:D

Thank you Emaone! That's so sweet of you to make me feel warm and welcome and everything! Your Jennifer is so beautiul though - I didn't expect it but I generally like the make-up-less ones so much, they show how different they actually are.
You too, Pors, so pretty!

Awesome entries everyone! :valentine Welcome Laila .
