[Season 2 of The Face premiered last night and today we’re recapping the episode with contestant Amanda Gullickson (you can find out more about her here). The South Carolina native will be blogging for us exclusively about the show and we encourage you to tune to Oxygen next Wednesday at 9/10 C to find out whether Amanda continues on to the next round. And be sure to check back in with theFashionSpot on Thursday, for an inside look at the previous night’s episode.]
Yay! The time has finally arrived and I am so glad The Face competition has finally started.
Originally, I had no idea what was in store for us at Bryant Park. I figured we would see the coaches walk, and maybe we would as well, BUT only in a bra and underwear??…I definitely did not see that one coming. On top of that, there was a full audience of complete strangers just waiting to watch us.
I am pretty comfortable in lingerie so thankfully that wasn’t too nerve wracking for me. My biggest concern was, oh my…when my dad watches this ha! I was a little bit nervous and I definitely feel I could have done better. Watching, I also remember how hot it was outside! We were all so sweaty. Hopefully it was not too obvious!
Getting back to the loft, nobody was really sure what to expect. When we walked in they had it completely hooked up! Each team room had a completely different style, which I liked.
Then it was time for the choosing of teams…Talk about nerve wracking! I had it in my head that I wanted to be Team Anne because of her Sports Illustrated and Victoria’s Secret background, which is the path I want to take. However, I was one of the last to go in and team Anne was full already.
As you saw, I am Team Lydia and so excited about it! I am really glad everything happened the way it did. My teammates are Ray, Allison and Nakisha.
The first challenge was at Juicy Couture and pretty challenging. I definitely thought we could win it, but it was hard for us in certain ways just because we all have such different personalities. I must say though, we got better by the minute! It was our first time working together and we pulled it off.
When Nigel revealed Naomi had won, their team was happy and screaming. We didn’t see the other team’s window, but it was disappointing we didn’t win. The worst part of not winning isn’t missing out on the prize (even though that stinks too), it is knowing Lydia has to put one of us up for elimination. When it came time for her to choose someone, I wasn’t too nervous, but the whole situation got emotional.
Early tears started flowing for Ray and Allison. I knew Allison had trouble with the perfume bottle, but I really wasn’t ready to see her go…or any of my teammates. I liked Isabelle a lot as well, even though she was not on my team. Elimination days are always tough but thankfully for our team, Ray pulled it off and came back! Lydia is absolutely amazing and so supportive. I can’t wait for you all to see everything our team and the competition has in store as the weeks continue to unravel. There is so much to come and I can’t wait to watch it all with you all!
Be sure to watch The Face Wednesdays at 10/9C on Oxygen. You can follow me on Twitter at @A_Gullickson.
Vera Wang once said that a woman is never sexier than when she is comfortable in her clothes. No one can deny that women ooze sex appeal when we’re all dressed up and looking good, but true feminine beauty and uniqueness really does comes from within.
It is only when we’re comfortable in our own skin that we exude the self-confidence that makes us quite irresistible. When we’re relaxed and comfortable, we shine the brightest.
There’s no denying that our society’s idea of what makes a woman sexy is a very general one: a woman, long hair flowing over her bare shoulders, wearing lacy lingerie and killer heels. But the question is: does such an image truly resonate with you?
Just as we do in other areas of our lives, shouldn’t we strive to find the type of underwear that makes us comfortable and therefore, sexy? Or, is the skimpiest lacy thing really what makes us feel sexiest?
A recent study conducted by Dr Christiana Tsaousi at the University of Leicester suggests that women have long since moved on from that thought. When it comes to lingerie, women will choose comfort over appearance every day of the week.
Tsaousi’s research shows that in reality, women’s choice in lingerie is widely varying and based particularly on practical fit and feel, rather than on how much lace is featured. Feeling both feminine and empowered is all about choosing your own version of bra and panty that embrace and enhance your curves.
Shaving your legs, styling your hair, putting on some makeup and wearing a set of gorgeous Ruby Lingerie or a lovely Besamé lingerie set is a great way to feel both sexy and comfortable.
It is also important to remind yourself that you are a beautiful and desirable woman that men admire and would rather like to undress.
Focus on what makes you comfortable – blast all those images of sexy women lying sprawled over bedspreads and fix your gaze on your own beautiful curves! Pick items that accentuate your best features.
Remember that your man isn’t there to pick you apart, he appreciates the whole package. Give him a little eye candy by flaunting yourself in a little something that truly makes you feel sexy and confident.
