4 student teams, 6 professional teams and one goal in mind.. to win the Orlando section of Global Beauty Masters. Last week the 3 teams from The Villages went to Orlando to take on the challenge. With the clock set they went to work. Then at 7 o’clock on Saturday May 30, SHOWTIME! In 2 categories, student and professional, the models walked the runway, complete with a panel of judges, to show off the teams hard work.
After much deliberation and bickering between the judges it was time for the teams to talk about their inspirations and time leading up to this. According to audience members it was like sitting in on American Idol. Team Shear Force created their mermaid with an octopus made out of hair. Team Teasetastic were inspired by “The Little Mermaid” making their model with bright colors because it was held in Orlando and the students wanted their mermaid to be from the dark part of the ocean. The students assumed that mermaids were always usually whimsical with bright colors, they wanted to stand out.
2 teams from the students and 2 teams from the professional group were chosen. Even though the teams from The Villages did not make it to the round in Las Vegas, I wanted to showcase their beautiful hard work. From what I saw on FB posts and talking to a few of them they said this experience was amazing and were very honored to be a part of it.
Congratulations to all teams for making it this far. You all did so great and I am happy that each of you had this opportunity. Check out their beautiful work here below.
