Posted by IndianaGlamour: 
Your question isn't that easily answered.  The hottest?  The best-looking?  That can be readily judged by images.

Who's the best model?  He or she is the one that moves w/o instruction, understands what is trying to be accomplished, and brings ideas to the shoot that models typically don't. 

In reality, there's a good chance the best "model" on MM is someone who hasn't been mentioned in this thread.   

U have some good points on what makes a good model but I don't get why you act like there are no real or "good enough" models on this site like MM is beneath u but uh, yet ur on it... **puzzled look**

Hey how about my tush? The pic has only been up a few days!  I think a top model is someone who is a go-getter , but sweet. Has a postive additude and fun to shoot with. Has respect for the photographer and his team and of course when you look at her/his photos it moves you. Hgt is not a requirement and he/she should have that something you see in their eyes. I think it's called passion! Just my two cents!

I don't think anyone should pick a model they have not shot as a favorite on a site which is about the work.  If you haven't worked with someone yet, you don't know if they are a good model.  You just know you like a photo someone else took of them.

Well I seem to be getting bashed for not being more descriptive about what makes a top llama tops. The llamas I chose for my selections look great on film, have worked with fantastic photogs/MUAs, and consequently have awesome freakin' shots on their ports. I partly attribute this to hard work on the llamas part, great selection/editing of images to display on MM, and having worked with the right people. Being born with it doesn't hurt either wink

Mary you're #1 isn't searchable by her number because she's not approved yet, but I think if you give us a link to her profile or picture page we'll be able to see her.

I don't think he means he thinks MM has ugly models, I think he's saying that how pretty a model is is a matter of personal preference, and that someone who is professional, creative, and good at modeling (the job, not just looking pretty) is a more likely candidate for best model. smile
I would like to add, however, that some of us need a little guidance on posing at the beginning of a shoot to warm up before we can start knocking out poses on our own wink it takes me, like, 5-10 minutes of "raise your arm a little bit.. inch your foot a little to the right.. ok" before it turnes into me moving out of a pose and the photog going "Stop! hold that!" **flashy flashy** smile heehee

And to throw in my own thing, I can't judge someone til I've worked with them, and I don't often do a shoot that entails more than one model. However, I can honestly say that every photographer and model I have worked with thru Model Mayhem was wonderful. I can't say that for OMP or MuseCube, either tongue haha ^_^

p.s... yes, "flashy flashy" is my personal, copyrighted camera sound effect.

LOL...you guys are funny.

I like Yulia because she has good poses and is a good model.  She also comes up with good ideas.  I'm not sure if she's on here or not. I also posed with her.  http://member.onemodelplace.com/member.cfm?ID=3623

I like Demeter.  She has some cool images from Atomic Effect. I've talked with her on the phone but never posed with her.  http://member.onemodelplace.com/member.cfm?ID=170452

There are other ones, but I'm brain dead right now.  Oh, and myself.  smile

Isabel Aurora.

I must say that girl has an extensive creative drive, passion for posing, looks to kill, and although she knows the perhaps she cant work in the fashion industry, she is more punctual, professional, level-headed, funny, and sweet than a TON of models I have worked with.

My many props to her. Her portfolio blows mine, and many other models ports out of the way.
