Hot or not? Elmer Olsen models
Every year, modeling maestro Elmer Olsen shows off his latest crop of catwalkers to the world. I was a fan of last year's Bootcamp 2 Bigtime showcase, which included some ethereal man-sprites, andro-babes, and your usual assortment of angular-lovely stick creatures.
I've a real fondness for models: they really bring clothes to life. This year, the ensembles were provided by local design team Greta Constantine; I was more stoked on the male styling (some nice tee layering there, boys!), and less so about the red dresses, which were bright enough to distract from the models' faces.
All in all, I found last year's crop to be superior in variety (there was both brawny dudes and skinny weirdies, plus a nice variety of ladies), although this go 'round--held again at club This Is London--there was a stand-out or two, like the handful of sexy chicks who brought to mind the tawny tiger-like beauties of South America.
Ah, well, there's always next time: each Bootcamp brings the year's current model(s). That's the great thing about fashion: there's always another fabulous face, right around the corner.

Average/normal girls FTW.
I'm sorry, but these models all look HALF-DEAD!! Except maybe for the woman on the bottom right. They look wan, bored, over-tired, maybe hungry? But certainly not ALIVE, and nor do the clothes look alive, although I understand that they aren't modeling these particular outfits. Maybe we need video of them walking to see the clothing "live".
What a waste of words...
These girls do have bored look and a little smile wouldn't hurt (and awful makeup around the eyes), but they are not skinny - they look about what the average girl should look like.
And simuls, you're dead on with that sentiment. I was in Montreal at the beginning of June, and pretty much the majority of people I'd pass were in good shape. Call me an ass, but Toronto's general fatness is unacceptable.
Ending any phrase with the words "nom nom nom nom" is immediately disqualified...'u lose, sorry, more lucks for you in the next times ok?'
