Attitude is Important
Colin describes his erotic moment and why CJ went home.
March 31, 2009Tyson banging on a pan and a giant military truck. Not how I wanted my week to start. Walking out of our apartment building and seeing the truck, I figured, ya know, OK, military-themed shoot, we get it, now put us in some vans and take us there.
Nope.
Let me paint you a picture. Me: freezing in the back of an open truck with every pothole in Brooklyn bouncing me into the air and having me wonder if I would be flung overboard.
When we arrived at the USS New Jersey, any doubts that I had about this being a military themed shoot (which … I guess … were none. They weren’t too subtle this week) were gone. My first thought was, “Well … maybe my stiffness in front of the camera will be good for a solo upright army dude photo.” Yeah, I was way off. A sexy tryst? Comfort zone be damned! Hearing that I was working with Salome and Laury led me breathe a sigh of relief. Not only do I like them both personally, but I’ve had some pretty frank sexual discussions with them. It’s nice to have a somewhat erotic shoot with two girls I can be open with. I feel like they would quell any potential nerves I would have.
Wait, no. What am I talking about? After thinking a little more I take back the end of that last paragraph. I honestly don’t think this kind of shoot would make me nervous with anyone. As long as the girls don’t start talking about a long term relationship during our intimate moment, I think I’ll be fine (JK … kinda). With that being said however, Laury and Salome will just be fun to work with.
I’m happy with my wardrobe this week. I look … in control. I liked the shades they initially had me wearing, but I understand why they weren’t on in the shoot. But a note to aviator makers everywhere: Think of me when you’re booking your next campaign.
The actual shoot was a lot of fun. It took a little time for us to get the right pace and body angles for the shoot, but once we got it, I felt like we were getting good shots.
When Nicole arrived the next day and showed us our shot I was happy. Initially, it was a selfish kind of happy and I breathed a sigh of relief. Our picture is pretty dark, but at least I’m visible. Upon further reflection, I concluded that even though some details of Salome and Laury were lost in the dark there is still a lot of chemistry in our picture. Hopefully we got the point of the shoot across even without total visibility.
For our rule breaking catwalk, there was some conservative gender bending: men in long skirts and women in suits. Honestly, I was expecting worse.
Anyhoo … after a few questions (that our group answered pretty gracefully), our threesome was dismissed from the stage. It feels so good.
XOXO, Colin
Oh, I should probably talk a little more about the elimination. CJ is gone. She’s a pretty girl, but her attitude was incongruent with what we need to do. Is incongruent the right word? Regardless, the lesson has been taught to CJ, but everyone has learned: Attitude is important. The mentors weren’t lying when they said it was factored into who gets eliminated.
Colin, you are so amazing either in the life or the picture. You shall be more confident,for we all believe in you.
best luck,
yr sincere fan
after I knew what the photoshot is about,I really worried about you!
but it seemed that you're a lucky dog,who can work with people you like.
you did a very good job!!!
Hey Colin, Can you tell me what designer makes those amazing black leather gloves that you were wearing in the photo shoot with Salome and Laury....? You know, the really hot erotic shoot with the uniforms.. Thanks
Ha! You have no idea how much I flipped out when I realized Mr. Superman was a UVA med student, when I live in Cville. (Alas, upon reading your biography, I found that not to be entirely true. Sigh.)
You're a little awkward so far, but you and Sandhurst are my two favorite guys, so...yeah. Although I'm probably being a bit biased; still, you have the looks and Sandhurst has the grace.
Annnnyywayyyyy, good luck. Keep up that Superman curl.
Im being for real. You are the perfect guy. I hope you win hun!
Colin, you are absolutely adorable and you have amazing hair.
You should most definitely win the entire competition, and go on to take over the world. (=
Good job and good luck.
Dude, I really think you have the potential to win this all the way. I think the biggest thing is to get your head into this as a CAREER, not just a show or living in the house, or the virginity thing, or the drama, or anything. Think of this as a VERY long job interview/on the job training. Buckle down, do some research and focus! You got this!!
I FULLY agree that you should take a lot of time, and I mean a LOT of time looking at men's fashion mags or pics or guys from fashion mags online. You have a good, thin, sort of Gucci look about you. It works well for many people! Look at Italian Vogue. See what the current industry is doing.
I truly think you can win this! It seems like you're really smart and can study well, so take this modeling thing the same way.
Good luck!
I'm pulling for you Colin! You are by far my favorite person this season! I bet you have a million ladies falling at your feet now! I hate to be the "omgz ur s0o0o hawt" girl, buuuut if I wasn't getting married in a few weeks I'd be swooning over you. [Just kidding. I already am! The fiance is jealous.]
You did amazin in the photo shoot! I'm glad you got a great picture but im disappointed you didnt win! but at least you werent in the bottom. Yay! Keep up the good work.
colin is the most beautiful man i have ever seen in my life!
good luck!
you was funny in the photo shoot! very cute!
good luck!

Great job this week, Colin. I hope you make it all the way through. Keep practicing in front of a mirror your expressions/emoting and your walk! You'll only improve and ensure your spot in the top. Good luck!
I thought as a whole, you three did a wonderful job.
I have been watching this competition since the beginning,
and must say, you are growing by leaps and bounds.
Have a little more confidence Colin, however, please do not allow it to teeter over to the cockiness level.
I can see you going far in the modeling world as long as you work hard for it, become committed, and definitely be devoted to whatever shoot/modeling job comes along. You are a bright man with a lot of years left for the business. Don't blow it by acting silly. Be yourself..
let everyone see just who you are..A Force to be reckoned with! Good Luck!
You've done amazing throughout the competition and have gotten better from week to week.
keep up the amazing work =]
and honestly.....the girl who said in a previous comment that you should lose ur virginity on the show....yeah thats just tacky to lose it in front of all of america.
just wait for the right girl =]
much love and luck,
Kaytlyn
Colin + Salome = the supermodel couple to end all supermodel couples
You did fabulous this week! Your photo was defiantly one of the best. I wish you guys had won. I was defiantly suprised at how good you did! It was amazing. Well, your obviously my favorite this season and I really hope you win :)
Good luck,
Kallie
P.S. No more skirts, please? lol
I thought your photo shoot was fantastic. You showed such sexuality in it beyond just your good looks. I hope you continue to grow as a model there. Your attitude will win over many friends there also. You are my favorite in the show and hoping you win. Good luck. Burke
I thought you three did great in the photo shoot. It was racy but not too raunchy. I agree that it may have been a little too dark for the girls but the overall image is well done, which is what really matters.
Great job this week! I'm rooting for you!

Kerryn is a babe, seems to be really into you and has a good personality. And there is no better time to lose your virginity then on a reality tv show. You have my approval to go for it. Best luck.
I definitely thought your photo with Laury and Mountaha was one of the best ones. Sucks you didn't win, though :(
I think everyone (at home, at least) knew CJ was headed home. She was kind of anti-social, huh?
Much love and luck,
Hallie
you did a good job in the photo shoot. do you ever read your past blogs and reflect? you sound different. stay beautiful and i hope you win.
congrats on making it another week! you are definitely my favorite contestant. :) you are doing a positively awesome job and i really hope you make it to the top. this week's photo shoot was great, you really pulled it together and didn't seem as nervous as you(probably) felt. and i'm kind of glad cj went home. her attitude was extremely crappy and she seemed ungrateful for the chance she was given(i only hope that jordan goes next :P). bonne chance for the future, i'm rooting for you here in n.c. and keep going for all us nerdy people! :) au revoir.
Colin, I was so happy to see you do well this week! I've been rooting for you since day one, and am glad to see you finally coming into your own as a model.
I guess all you needed was a little brown sugar, hm? >)
Collin you are the MAN. Excellent job today. You are a supermodel!
