This has been an awesome competition thus far. I have to say the ladies all blew me away this week, truly. They made me want to get married with their beauty, grace, and unique natural styling! So how then, do I choose my first place and my last place? My top choices are Kala G […]
Love is indeed in the air! First of all let me say that I commend you ladies, for the effort, and the work you are putting into this competition. I was in your shoes, and as the runner of last year, it was not easy! So I do feel your pain. However, you all pull […]
Just a reminder, this week the challenge was to create a breath taking never-to-forget wedding style. ReShonda– Your two- in-one braided spiral rod set style is beautiful! The Cowrie shells added to your naturally wonderful Afro centric look. You showed the hair and the headpiece very well..however there wasn’t a whole lot of range when […]
Each week is getting more and more intense. As I look at the photos and the stories that they are telling, I am drawn in more and more. We’re getting closer to the end of this competition and it is clear that everyone of you are really working hard to win. This week’s choice winner, for me, […]
Let me first say, this week’s challenge really produced some amazing photos. I felt that all of the models went for different looks and very different takes on making a natural bride look her very best! I was impressed with the settings, colors, looks and ways in which you each highlighted your head-pieces. Most of […]
Overall I enjoyed the challenge. There was definitely variety between each model, and each of you did your best to capture your version of love and make proper use of your wedding pieces.
As the winner of ANNM 2010, I know what all of you ladies are going through. Something to always keep in mind first and foremost is that no matter what other people say or think about you, YOU have to love yourself first! $1000 is on the line, so knowingly the competition will not be […]
This was my favorite challenge so far. I never had a wedding because my husband and I eloped. His family refused to accept our relationship because of racial, cultural, and religious differences. Yep, we picked the trifecta of star-crossed love. We were secretly engaged for 5 months before saying our vows and we see all the […]
The challenge turned out beautifully! I loved reading the judges feedback as well. We did a company vote and here is our feedback. 1) Desyray-i am Free-Desyray really spoke from a place of true freedom. Her hairstyle was beautiful and the emotion captured in her photo shoot portrayed the fact that she felt free. Not […]
Desyray: You embodied “free” really well and from that aspect your pictures were nice, but if i didn’t know this was to promote a haircare product, i would not have figured out that this was about hair…. Try to always bring it back to what it is you are trying to sell…
My favorites in this challenge were Carlita, Chassity, Kala and ReShonda. For my winner, I would have to pick ReShonda. ReShonda Your pictures blew me away. What better style to represent “natural” than a magnificent puff! Loving the flower in your hair paired with the subtle colors and gorgeous makeup. I think your expressions and […]
Desyray- I loved your story; I could totally relate. Your photos are nice. You hair is beautiful! I can definitely see “FREE” in your 1st and 4th images, your smiles look natural and you look relaxed. Overall, nice job.

I have to say that every week the models get better and better. I am very impressed with the ladies and how they each have stepped up their game and continue to bring their own individuality and creativity to the challenges. Each of you is a MUSE to me! My first choice for this challenge […]
