With no less than Ms. Kagay-an Runner up, Ms. Natasha Mills. I have nothing but praises for her. Despite the lack of sleep, she was very professional. For someone exceptionally beautiful as she is, she had no qualms about getting herself dirty from the charred woods, being bathed by the scorching heat of the sun for long periods of time, pinning up oversized gowns, her feet hurting from her 4 inches high stilletos and people flocking around the site in Agora market. The shoot started at about 10 AM til 5 Pm yet her energy was up til the end, making fabulous poses and flashing expressive emotions that are marks of a supermodel.
She may look intimidating at first, with her british descent but in reality, she was very warm and down-to-earth. She was joking around and making goofy faces in between takes. Her amazing professionalism stems from her experience as a model in England before she moved here to the Philippines 2 years ago. Her projections will blow you away, as her eyes are naturally expressive and dramatic. She's a chameleon, too. Her looks can transform into different facets. She leaves you astounded as if you're looking at Angelina Jolie, Kristine Hermosa, Donita Rose, Yayo Aguila and the rest of the beautiful celebrities rolled into one. I am counting months or years before a major modeling agency in the country eyes her. It will be a loss for us, but we will be more than ecstatic to see her make it big. We will just forever grateful to her that once, she was our model, our prized jewel.
