Wrong Decision

Chris reveals who he think should have gone home instead of him.

March 10, 2009

The next day, I found out that we were going to our second photo shoot. When the models got into the studio, Tyson and Nicole and I were waiting to tell us about what we would be doing.  I was told this week was all about candy, and today our outfits for the shoot would be made entirely of candy! I was really excited because again, I had never done a photo shoot that was anything like this before. The objective of this photo shoot was to embody the type of candy that was chosen for us. My candy was sprinkles, more specifically, a yellow sprinkle. I was excited to see how the hair and makeup team was going to create my look.

The first thing I did was strip down, so that the artists could work with my body and begin creating this “candy couture” look. My hair was pulled back extremely tight and one of the hair stylists started slathering my entire head in what felt like a sticky paste, almost like Vaseline.  My first thought after my excitement was “Oh my God, how am I going to get all this out of my hair later?” Of course, my second thought was “Who cares.” After my head was covered in goo, it was then showered in sprinkles! It was such a cool idea. I had never even seen anyone do that before so already I loved my preferred candy. 

My whole body was then painted yellow and I mean everything — my hands, nails, arms, eyebrows. I was very bright. When I looked in the mirror for the first time my eyes like popped out of my head, they were so light. Also my teeth looked crazy white. The artists then made sprinkle designs around my body and my look was complete. It was really amazing, really creative and absolutely stunning.

I remember when Nicole came in to visit us and she loved my look. She said it would be an excellent way to show the judges my versatility as they noted being worried about that the week before. I couldn’t agree with her more because I knew my look as a model was extremely versatile.

My shoot went really well also. The photographer, Suza, was a pleasure to work with and great at giving direction. There were no sprinkles on my lips at first and Suza suggested the idea.  Once we put some on it made such a different to the look and I was really happy that she had a really creative eye.

I was totally unimpressed with you during your short stay; when I recently logged on to vote for my favorite I looked at your private portfolio and was absolutely shocked : your candid pictures were so much better than any of the "professional" pictures taken on the show !!!!!! I wish that at some time the producers and judges can explain how this occurred. If I were you I would throw away all the professional pictures from your portfolio as they do you no justice whatsoever.

I was shocked that they sent you home so soon, you have one of the most unique looks. I wish you all the best for the future!

Chris, I was so upset when you were eliminated! You were my favorite model from the start. From the frist episode I saw something special in you, so just don't give up! You'll be a great model someday! ^_^

Chris, You were the most unique model on the show and I was very dissapointed when you left. I have no doubt that among all the guys on the show this season that you will end up being the best known model. I look forward to seeing you in all the major magazines. You are the creme de la creme

The judges must be on crack because you were defenitely one of the best if not the best on the show! You were born to model. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. You will one day be a supermodel and the judges will eat there words. Take care and never give up. You were born to model!

Aw, Chris I was so sad you went home. You seem like such a nice positive person. I hope you're doing well! =]

personally i think you have a super unique look, and although you weren't my favorite contestant i was sad to see you go so early. i think you could have done really great things further in the show, and i wanted to tell you to keep going in your career! you could be a great model!

CHRISSS! Noooo, dude you were mii faveee! I thought that you were amazing, talented, and HAWT. Toh-tal model material. The judges were wrong. Plain, and simple.

I am very disappointed that you were eliminated so soon. I think you are extremely beautiful and that moving between female and male is extremely sexy. Your photo's however really lean to the masculine, so I'm not sure what the issue was. Perhaps you simply made the judges uncomfortable, but that's on them, not on you. You've got a great attitude and best wishes on your journey.

Chris, your androgyny and effeminate gayness is refreshing, unaffected and pure. You are FABULOUS! This show is tacky and pedestrian at best. I have worked on 7th Avenue most of my life, as a designer, and I am telling you, tomorrow you could walk in Paris. You ARE couture and elegantly so. Your elimination is nothing more than DISCRIMINATION AND HOMOPHOBIA. This show can only handle Gay Men that remind the viewers of traditional straight men and for that, they are short sighted, unimaginative and anti-gay. Historically, fashion is dominated by beautiful, elegant, effeminate and androgynous Gay Men. So, so many famous and unsung designers have been just that. Without the Gay influence, presence and ultimate domination, fashion is NOWHERE. One day, you will have the last laugh. You are not a freak of nature. Not at all. You are just a victim of some VERY ignorant forces. I am HAPPY you are no longer part of the mockery that is this crass. vulgar and idiotic competition. Let me finish by telling you that I have booked models for both print and runway for decades and out of this season's contestants, I would only consider yourself and one of the tall young ladies. The rest are HACKS. No talent, no image and certainly no star quality. Your defeat is actually your victory as winning this competition will in actuality hurt you. No one on 7th Avenue takes this seriously. Believe me. You were born to model and I await your zenith rise. Stay strongly focused and I will see you in the pages of Vogue and all it's off-shoots.

Chris. Hi. It's Eirikur. I just turned on my TV, and there you were on Make Me A Supermodel, and my jaw dropped. I couldn't believe it. I was more blown away by the fact that you, YOU, were voted off. That was not justified. Good luck in all that you're doing.

Chris your are the sweetest ! You understand things that most of them there do not ,specially MODESTY ! Go forward !

Chris if it's any consolation, I agree with you that you should not have been the one to go home this week. The only person who should have stood alone in front of the judges, was CJ. It was evident that you really wanted to be there and to compete. You practiced, you asked questions, you worked on what the judges told you. CJ was flip and arrogant, rude to the judges, and didn't even try. I watched your exit interview and thought you kept your composure, held your head high, and had nice things to say about your fellow competitors. You expressed yourself well while addressing your concerns and the injustice you felt. I hope you had a great time during this experience and that you won't take anything that happened to you, or was said about you, personally. Remember...it's a show!

Chris! They totally made the wrong decision. Honestly I was yelling at the Tv when you got voted off. I love you and am such a fan of your style and personality. Gabe should have gone home, but I am glad you weren't a sore loser. You are truly a Gem and have a very unique look, keep your head up high cutie. One day you will see yourself on billboards just keep chasing your dream. <3

I'm sorry that you are disappointed in your elimination. But, at the end of the day, your persona played more like a freak of nature than possible model. It just wasn't your time. Sorry, see ya.

You are such a darling, and my favorite of the entire cast. I am sad to see you go, but I am glad you are ending this with a positive outlook. I wish you good luck with your dreams, and I hope this exposure will get you well on your way to bigger places. <3

I am so pissed off! You were my favorite. You had the look and the walk. People just reject the unfamiliar.
