Edit:
This started as an MM top model type thing, and I wanted to see male and female models recognized.  **NO MORE**  Now photographers, stylists, and MUA's can be nominated as well! 

More concrete criteria, judges and prizes will be posted next week.  I've decided to turn this into the "MM Best Of. . ." contest.  Categories will be defined and identified by next week as well.  In the mean time, keep nominating!


I propose that we honor MM's creme de la creme.  I propose that this contest run until December 25th and the Mods post his/her best photo on the opening page of MM.  Ok. . .Brian said we can't do that, but there will be trophies!  Also, said model should receive VIP member status for a time period to be determined by the Mods.  Ok.  Brian said we can't do that either. . .but did I mention there would be trophies??

So without further adieu. . .
**just some tips on nominating. . .
please only post one photo of your nominee
please include their MM name
please include a link to their MM page (hey. . .a lil publicity never hurt anyone smile )**

*Update*
There will be trophies . . .that's right, TROPHIES. . .and multiple categories.
More details to be announced next week!

I would propse Elisaveta as one of the top models on MM, although she and I never had a dedicated photoshoot, only like 5 minutes, backstage at some fashionshow... she is one of the classiest, most experienced and funniest high fashion models who have ever graced Model Mayhem...

For personal reasons, she is currently not on MM, but she will be back... hence I am proposing Elisaveta as one of the contenders.

To me a good model is more an actor than a clothes(less?) horse. Intelligence and range rule in my book and great appearances don't hurt.

There are two models here who are my favorites. Both originally from North Western New York (coincidence? Great Lakes water? dunno). I'll post some of my photos of them but please go look at their portfolios as well.

(Links instead of inline photos shouldn't be opened at work if you are the treasurer of the Landover Baptist Church)

EDIT
After removing inline photos with sheer tops, to be fair I've added some 'legal' ones.

Alphabetically (how's that for diplomacy?), here's Emily https://www.modelmayhem.com/member.php?id=194335

From a commercial shoot:

She can be as cute as they come:

Or serenely beautiful:

Leaning toward wickedness:

Too cute maybe?

Just ... Emily ...

She even does auto repair:

I could go on but you probably get the idea. Hair and makeup in all of the above were done by Emily.

My other nomination also a WNY'er (now NYC) is the lovely Tiana. When I first met her she was a tender 17 years old and already in college. Even then she was a monster - intelligent, confident mature and knowing exactly what she wanted.

(Links instead of inline photos shouldn't be opened at work if you are the treasurer of the Landover Baptist Church)

Like Emily, Tiana loves being wicked, cute, elegant and other things that some women like being

Tiana is also a killer photographer:

It should also be mentioned that Tiana is responsible for hair and makeup for all of the above and styling for many of them.

If she will be back before the end of the contest. . .that would be quite fair.  If not. . .perhaps next year?  Gotta be fair to those that are here now. . .even though I too am a sincere fan!

I love the idea of honoring fantastic work, but MM has decided that it will not be conducting contests or showcases as such.  If you want to run this one yourself--choose judges, provide prizes--go right ahead.  But unfortunately, the mods can't put the photo up on the front page or offer VIP membership.

But please, don't for a second allow this to slow anyone from sharing good work.  We like to see good work.

Well. . .damn. . .no front page spread, but prizes can be worked out I think.  So. . .
Keep nominating and I'll round up 1) Some judges; 2) Some prizes; 3) Some criteria and determining factors.  Nominate until December 15th, and a winner will be declared just in time for Christmas (or December 25th for those of you that don't celebrate Christmas).  All updates (read: more difinitive contest rules/criteria/bla blas) will be posted as edits to the OP.
