I definitely think I went with the right one lol. I changed themes completely because felt like the cyberpunk aesthetic didn't really fit with the photoshoot theme so re-thought it entirely #DNTM
After floating around all day yesterday here are all the shots that didn’t quit make it. A couple I love some well you know how that goes… #DNTM4

Hello models. Welcome to my mini-series where I'll be reviewing week by week submissions of #DNTM4 and ranking them on my personal Flop-O-Meter. As a survivor of DNTM S3 - where I was practically the resident 'flop of the week'- I know how much blood, sweat and tears go into these photos. This is all light hearted, tough love feedback from someone who has flopped and been in your shoes! Disclaimer - I am in no way affilated with DNTM, all opinions are strictly my own. Now Let's see who served fashion.... and who landed a little too high on the Flop-O-Meter. 🚨 The Biggest Flops (Flop Rating 7.0 - 10) 🚨 Fancy - Flop Rating 9/10 The styling here is an absolute dream to look at, unfortunately the illusion completely shatters when we look at the posing. I just don't understand how one would logically sit like that while floating away on balloons. It defies physics in a way that feels awkward rather than magical. Sadly, this is a major miss for me. Manon - Flop Rating 8.6/10 This is one is a bit of an eyesore, darling. The brief called for light and effortless, but this feels heavy, clunky and stiff. The random balloons scattered of the floor make the entire composition look messy, where is she even supposed to be? I do like the how the outfit flows with her body, but the rigid pose ruins the fantasy. Melanie - Flop Rating 8/10 I am so torn by this. At first glance, this is stunning. The arm and leg placement against that sky background creates a gorgeous silhoutte. But the longer I look, the more it falls apart. When I turn my head to analyze the model, the face looks discombobulated, puffy and completely wonky. High fashion requires execution from head to toe, and the face let you down here. Fireflyyy - Flop Rating 7.8/10 Your model's face is an absolute serve, easily one of the best faces this week. However, unlike the other girls, this photo fails to deliver a believable illusion. It feels incredibly far-fetched and unrealistic. I appreciate you took a risk by avoiding the literal use of 'balloons', but for me personally, that gamble didn't pay off. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ⚠️ The Medium Flops (Flop Rating 3 - 6.9) ⚠️ Marquis - Flop Rating 5/10 This is a clean, magical and deeply relaxing image to look at. That said, your model's face should never be an afterthought, and right now the body is doing all the heavy lifting. The right leg and foot placement feel anatomically off, and the colour story is conflicting, pastel balloons would have bridged the gap between the contrasting light and dark elements much better. AmandaSings04 - Flop Rating 4.5/10 Well, this is certainly a moment. I have to give you major props for always standing out, in a sea of models who blend together, being unforgettable is a massive asset. It's camp in the best way possible. My main note is going forward is to rely on more your models modelling powers rather than hiding behind loud props and busy backgrounds. Zee_ - Flop Rating 4/10 Your model looks utterly flawless, and the styling is gorgeous. Pulling off a silhouette that actually matches the models identity is incredibly difficult in AI, so kudos for mastering that. However, the details drag it down. The left leg looks abnormally elongated, and the left hand feels tense. A photo this elegant demanded a much softer, more intentional hand pose. Antog - Flop Rating 3.9/10 Oh I love a photo that tells a story, and this narrates a beautiful, magical fairytale that requires no explanation. Her hair looks stun and she feels effortless. To level up, I think you need to focus more on the facial expression. Most importantly, you must notice the AI errors on your hands. The mangled fingers are a distraction that drags down an otherwise beautiful shot. MissMiranda - Flop Rating 3.5/10 This is a beautiful shot. The face is giving exactly what it needs to, the outfit is stunning, and the background storytelling fits the brief perfectly. My only note is the hands. I know AI hands are a total pain in the ass but the distortion here stands out and breaks the illusion. Perfect those details and I think you will be a dark horseee!!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ⭐️ The Safe zone (Flop Rating 0-2.9) ⭐️ CupidStunt - Flop Rating 2.8/10 A lovely, whimsical photo. The way she is being lifted effortlessly by both her arms and legs makes the entire pose make sense, which gives you a huge leg up over the other girls who tried this. My only critique is that the model still looks slightly plastic. Thankfully, the face is less airbrushed than the body, which saves the realism of the shot. Tjamal9106 - Flop Rating 2/10 This is a lovely photo, but if feels very similar to your execution last week. The outfit and styling are an absolute chef's kiss, and while the relaxed vibe works for this week's effortless theme, the facial expression is bordering basic. Personally, I think the public would love to see you to take bigger risks and deliver a much stronger, more commanding face!! LeQuishaQ - Flop Rating 2/10 Once again, you came and did the damn thing. You look flawless, and the face is serving pure high fashion. One minor tech note, it's a bit of a struggle to see your hair in this lighting. I really wanted to see it because I love how you cleverly integrated the golden strands of the balloons to compliment your hair. SpaceLab - Flop Rating 1.8/10 This shoot was supposed to feel light, effortless dream sequence that puts the viewer at ease, and you mastered that beautifully. This IS fashion. It is a stunning photo, though your face looks a tad too relaxed. A touch more emotion would have elevated it. It's early days, so you got away with playing it safe but Lets see some risks mama. Marilise - Flop Rating 1.8/10 Wow, what a moment. You look polished, regal and beautiful rising up in this grand hall. The flow of the dress is gorgeous. There's a fascinating optical illusion with the lighting being lower on one side, I'm not sure if this intentional or not but it sort of looks like you're touching a reflective floor. Vanili - Flop Rating 1/10 What a massive step up from last week. I am obsessed with this. It perfectly encapsulates effortless and your model look weightless among the balloons. The styling of the floral dress against the backdrop is genius. You are the unedinable focus point here, and my eyes went straight to your face. Really, really spectacular work. GuiltyAsSin - Flop Rating 0.9/10 Talk about an improvement. The dark, avant-garde theme is spectacular, the styling is stunning and the fabric literally looks like it was constructed out of popped balloons. I don't have any critiques for this. Some might call it a safe photo, but the execution is flawless. Start thinking outside the box and I think you will be a force ot be reckoned with sis. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. GuiltyAsSin 2. Vanili 3.

Ngl guys this was a STRUGGLE Coming off the high of week 1, the pressure was real I wanted to stand out! I thought what if my model used the strings as her outfit and was all tangled up but was still able to serve FIERCE I’m happy but not overjoyed, tbf ChatGPT gave me this image first so from where I started I think it came A LONG WAY 😂😂😂 #dntm4

Hope today is everything you make it 💕

I think filling games where I have to build hamburgers and pop balloons is more important than my LGBT friends feeling safe in an online community and not being harassed and told that their identity isn’t real.
Cold
It just feels like the beginning of the end............? Anyway wish me a happy birthday now or you hate me on a personal level and you will be noted (so this is a joke I am a beacon of light and positivity)

Previously on #ASBB3….. Following Nick’s temporary banishment from the game, the remaining houseguests participated in the fan favorite HOH competition #DNTM. ASBB Godmother and Style Icon Dimitra gave each of the 18 original houseguests a rating from 1-10 based on their cast photos. The houseguests’ job was to order the houseguests from best to worst and match Dimi’s opinion as accurately as possible. DNTM1 Butch Icon RALTS023 proved to have the most accurate eye for fashion and beauty, winning the second HOH of the season. Before Ralts could make her nominations, the Lesbitwins were removed from the game after physically attacking ASBB sweetheart Spartagow. After a lengthy statement from Host Amandasings04, the houseguests learned that this week’s banishment would be cancelled. The game quickly continued as Amanda told the houseguests of the season’s next twist: The HEALING BAGEL! The houseguests searched a large sandbox to find the HEALING BAGEL, each getting only one guess per week. The houseguest who found the Healing Bagel would earn the sole power to decide which Banished houseguest would return to the game! After a 24-hour poll, NICK earned two extra guesses and MELANIE earned one extra guess. Who will find the Healing Bagel, and which banished player will return to the game? Stay tuned to find out. The HOH Ralts023 had a big decision to make. Most houseguests agreed that Shavedboosie made the most sense to target for being too beautiful and stunning. Ralts chose to nominate Shavedboosie for this reason, as well as DAILYICON due to speaking very little. At the veto draw, OhEmGee NicoRobin and RandyBandy were picked to play the veto. Feeling like he was in less danger this week due to the cancelled banishment, Randy considered using the veto if he were to win the competition. The six houseguests competed in the BGC BRAINIAC veto competition. DailyIcon drew criticism from his fellow houseguests after admitting to using ChatGPT to do this competition for him. Regardless of the controversy, DAILYICON won the Power of Veto as Host Amandasings04 made plans to rework this competition for future seasons. Dailyicon used the POV on himself, meaning HOH Ralts023 would need to name a replacement nominee. Ralts shocked the house when she immediately named RANDYBANDY as her replacement nominee. She said that if Randy wanted to use the veto, he could go up on the block. Randy was shocked that Ralts found out this information and told Ralts this was a stupid move. Regardless of his feelings, RandyBandy found himself in the same exact position as last week. He went into survival mode as he campaigned to the house for their votes to stay. The houseguests saw Shavedboosie as a threat due to her connection to fellow minor Kallie. Additionally, many houseguests felt like Randy deserved to be in the game more than Boosie. Kallie assured her ally Shavedboosie that she would campaign for her to stay, but this turned out to be a lie. By a vote of 9-3…… SHAVEDBOOSIE became the second houseguest evicted from the Amandasings Big Brother house. Host Amanda remarked that Boosie has always been a star and will always be a star. Thank you Shavedboosie for playing ASBB3! The remaining houseguests prepared for a surprisingly early game of TOUCHY SUBJECTS for next week’s HOH. As the houseguests waited for the competition results, Dumblonde announced to the house that she would be leaving the game due to missing her family at home. The houseguests learned that the Chibi’s Curse twist would be ending next week, and that this would be the final banishment of the season. The houseguests were happy to learn that NicoRobin was released from the ICU and cleared to return to the Amandasings BB house! 14 houseguests remain. After a second round of guesses, the Healing Bagel has been found. Who has found it, and whom will they choose to bring into the game? With a new HOH already in power, no one is safe… NicoRobin RandyBandy Ralts023 Nick spartagow bubba kallie Melanie Thumper91 yeri dino desh dailyicon ohemgee Join the ASBB viewers lounge to keep up with the season: https://discord.gg/fuezFxrzv Want to play ASBB?

it happened in Sofia, the capital of the country. One of the people taking part in this year's Pride was Dara, Bulgaria's Eurovision winner this year. I just want to say that I'm super proud of her because Bulgaria is still probably the most homophobic country in the European Union, and she knew very well that by participating she would receive a lot of hate. Overall, the Pride itself faced a lot of opposition. There was literally a counter-event called the "Parade for the Traditional Bulgarian Family," led by the church and various public figures who are constantly trying to villainize Pride, take the spotlight away from it, and paint it in a negative light. Honestly, though, I think they're doing the opposite. Despite that, there were so many hateful comments online. Dara is a very sweet and delicate girl, and although she knew what was coming, it still affected her. She shared some of the comments on her Instagram stories. People were writing things like, "I supported you until now, but I'm done with you," "You're disgusting," and many even worse things. So yes, that's how Pride went in Bulgaria this year. Despite the hate, despite the opposition, it still happened. It brought together people who want to be free, who want to fight for their rights, and who simply want to spend one beautiful day together. By the way, this counter-protest was publicly supported by the current ruling party, Progressive Bulgaria. Ironically, despite its name, there is nothing progressive about the party when it comes to LGBTQ rights. Honestly, things in Bulgaria are not getting better. Maybe they're not getting dramatically worse, but they're definitely not improving. Bulgaria feels like a very stagnant country when it comes to LGBTQ rights and acceptance. Unfortunately, it's going to take many, many more years before people finally understand that Pride is not there to sexualize children, change anyone's gender, or influence someone's sexuality. That's all nonsense. Pride exists to show that LGBTQ people exist, that they deserve equal treatment, that they deserve legal rights, and that they deserve respect. What makes all of this even sadder is the level of hatred that still exists. Many people leave incredibly ugly comments, including death threats. Others claim that LGBTQ people are mentally ill or somehow less deserving of basic dignity. And that's exactly why Pride is still necessary. Not because people want special treatment, but because they want the same rights, the same respect, and the same freedom as everyone else. If you want to see any of her stories today from the pride: https://www.instagram.com/stories/darnadude/3918823130777131309/
Previously on Angie's Island, Kovaze had voted Envious & Nikky and PosterBoy & Sprite as their least favorite couples. The two couples would have to face off against each other to determine their fate in my Villa. The matchups would be OG vs Bombshell meaning one whole couple could be eliminated, or a new couple may be formed by the winners of the duel. The First matchup saw Wes and PosterBoy face off. I won't lie and say this was close. It was not close. Envious scored $158000. PosterBoy scored $78000. Which means I'm sorry PosterBoy but you are now dumped from my Villa. Thank you for taking a chance at finding love at my Villa. You left your mark on this season and will be missed! Moving on we have Nikky and Sprite. This matchup was close. Very close. Sprite scored $152000. Nikky scored $175000. This means Sprite, my OG Islander, unfortunately for you your time in my Villa also ends tonight. Thank you for coming here to play. You brought so much grace and poise to my Villa but also guns and that didn't make me feel that safe. Your time here is up. Sprite and PosterBoy you may now say your final goodbyes to the other Islanders in the Villa. Envious and Nikky you will now reenter my Villa as a couple once again, congratulations on surviving the very first duel of this game. For all my other Islanders I hope you've been enjoying your time in the Villa because things are about to get shook up. 6 of you will remain in the Villa while 6 of you will head to... Casa Amor week is coming baby! Stay tuned to Angie's Island to see which beautiful men and women I've invited! I just know they'll be able to turn heads!

it kinda sucks opening the kovaze blog page and seeing transgenderism discourse all over the page it is really bringing me back to the tengaged era of being like 15 and defending my identity online to 40 year olds in between classes even if ur anti trans or whatever i wish people had the decency and common sense to be atleast kind to your fellow human especially on a video game website i don’t talk about being trans at all and i don’t like talking about it but i also wanna be honest about how im feeling and maybe this blog will be a moment for people to go “hmm yeah let’s leave it off the blog page”, even if you’re well meaning. it just doesn’t belong here. (i also lowkey have ptsd from a certain person who used to be on this website outing me to my parents because he found my moms facebook when i was 13 and id never want a lunatic to take it that far again to someone else)
honey
why da fuk is the world cup in the USA? i didnt even know this until a few days ago when i saw it on tiktok. i didnt even know we had a soccer team of value. and i sure as fuck an not calling soccer "football". honestly i blame donald j trump he just wanted his moment in the spotlight and couldnt even let the europeans keep their weird kick ball game to themselves.
