I posted 125 of the photos I took at the
Model Showcase Event on
Flickr. It was my first time putting any photos on Flickr but it seemed like a good place to put them and potentially provide additional exposure for Asian Sirens since I include the link in my Flickr profile.
The collage photo above include some reduced size samples. The models from left to right, top to bottom are: Tina Lee who won first prize in the contest, Rina Marie, Alice Bradley, Anastasia, Tia Kai, Luana Lani, and Nikki Kay.
It was great to see some familiar faces but I was pleasantly surprised by a number of Asian models I had never seen or heard of before.
Rina Marie
Rina Marie (on the left) is a Japanese model who caught my eye. She was very willing to pose for photographers at the event and poses very well IMHO. I hope to feature her on Asian Sirens in the future when I find out more about her and maybe arrange a photoshoot as well.
Alice Bradley
I thought Alice Bradley was one of the most beautiful models at the show. I don’t know much about her but according to the MSE website she has recently returned to modeling. She modeled back in 2002. I was very impressed near the end of the event when she went up on stage and struck some great poses. Unfortunately, her efforts were not rewarded with raffle tickets since they started counting the tickets while she was still up on stage. I made a point of making sure that she got my last raffle tickets but I doubt she got any tickets from others. Alice ended up in fourth place in the contest. I wonder how close she was to making the top 3?
Nikki Kay
Nikki Kay is a petite model that made a good impression on me. When I went to her table, she was genuinely friendly. She reminds me a bit of a young Miss Becky in terms of looks but she has her own style and is different in many ways.
As far as the rest of the MSE, I was glad to see models like Anastasia and Tia Kai of course. Tia Kai is on the cover of a new calendar so congratulations to her. It is not a major one but it is still good to see her on the cover. Anastasia left MSE early so she was not competing in the modeling contest. One of the first things I saw was this foot fetishist guy lying on the ground and Anastasia putting her bare feet on his face.
Luana Lani looked absolutely gorgeous in person! I have seen her at previous events but thought she was looking particularly good at this event.
It was good to see Mike Ray of imagesfromasia.com. I saw some of his most recent work and he comes up with some creative ideas for photoshoots with his models.
If you are interested, you can see all the winners of the MSE contest at MSE contest winners page.
Overall, it was one of the better Model Showcase Events I have attended but it seems like many of the models show up late and so do the attendees (including me).
As far as other photo coverage of the event, I have already seen some on Charisse’s MySpace page.
If anyone else comes across any other photo coverage, please go ahead and tell us about it in the comments. I don’t see any on purehotmodels.com yet but I don’t like all their floating ads. There is another website that probably has coverage up but they charge money to look at the photos.
