Ford Models Super of the World Model Canada 2009

Naomi Alecsa

Congratulations to Alecsa Nelson for winning the top prize of Ford Models Super Model of the World Canada search. The finale aired on CityTV on September 26th. As many may have recalled, open calls took place this past summer with West Edmonton Mall being one of the locations.

Personally, I was hoping Naomi would win. She probably had the best look out of all the other contestants. However, at the tender age of 14, experience was the biggest downfall. But you know what they say, human years are the equivalent to dog years in the modeling business. With the way Naomi is progressing so quickly, she will be a pro by the time she's Alecsa's age(17).

With reality shows such as Ford Models Super Model of the World Search,America's Next Top Model, and Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency, it gives opportunities for models and potential models to sign with well established agencies. At the same time, those agencies can gain a wider selection of talent and unique looks. ( Now let's all hope the new retirees do not come up with anymore reality tv or talk shows ie. Tyra and Heidi)

"What I hate most in life are people who are not really the peach of the day but who want to be young and sexy. You can fool nobody. There is a moment when you have to accept that somebody else is younger and fresher and hotter. Life is not a beauty contest."-Karl Lagerfeld
