Melissa AsNTM

I've been following Asia's Next Top Model since the very beginning, and those of you who know me on fb will know that I've been actively commenting and supporting both the AsNTM page and also our country's representative Melissa!! :)

Just wanted to say I'm so proud to have such a lovely girl represent Malaysia, she definitely makes you smile and has the ability to make you root for her week after week. She was not born a typical model, ie she is not the tallest girl, and by industry standards she is considered a little heavy, even though she does NOT look fat at all. She actually has a great, healthy sized figure, and she also plays and coaches tennis so she should be fit. Unfortunately the modelling industry craves stick thin girls.

If you watch the show, you will see her work and try hard and improving week by week, even though some of the other girls look more like models. What stands out is her bubbly and positive attitude which is infectious, and the show tends to feature a lot of her crazy and over the top expressions hahahaha, probably because she is one of the more outspoken contestants in the competition. 

Anyway, even though Melissa was eliminated this week, I think she has definitely made an impact on her fans, and become a role model for everyone who is or was ever an underdog, or perhaps to those who feel like they are not good enough because they do not fit a certain stereotype.


For those who can't watch AsNTM on StarWorld, you're in luck because AsNTM also uploads the episodes on YouTube!! Currently you can watch up to episode 5 online ;)
