Finalist
W Magazine, March 2012: "Kate Moss"

My critic:
This women is in good lighting and has a good background. This women has man hands and Im wondering why they picked this women vs. any other women in my opinion they could of picked a better looking women. The tattoo that is on her hand could of at least been covered up, there is no need for that at all. the kind of style this women is representing is the kind of fashion you never see any one wearing.
