"A True Beauty Moment"... these are the words that inspired me for
my blog this week. I just finished watching Episode 2 with two
friends of mine, Joyce and Matt. I haven't seen them in awhile, and
as soon as I got to Joyce's house they were downloading me on how
they were both inspired, and had "True Beauty Moments" this past
week. I couldn't help but sit and feel a little proud knowing we are
all doing something positive. By we, I mean, everyone involved in
the show, including our front runners, the 10 beautiful people. I
sat in a dark room with my two friends watching this show unfold and
develop into its own. It was so amazing to hear how, even if it was
just my 2 friends, people were being inspired. The example my friend
Joyce gave was how the valet lost her keys for 20 minutes. She
was already late for work, and everyone was yelling at the
attendant.
She stopped for a moment and looked at this man, who reminded her of
her father, and saw that he was about to cry. She held his arm,
and said with a smile, "Thank you", as she gave him a big tip. She then
said, "I just had a 'True Beauty Moment'' ...That makes me smile.
This episode was a great one to me because it "truly" shows the
whole philosophy behind the show. And I do want all of you to know
that Cheryl, Nole, and I take everything into consideration when we
make our decisions. Yes, it was wrong what Ashley and CJ did while
they were trying to get their Million Dollar Looks, but I do believe
that in hindsight they both understood what they did was wrong. CJ
spoke so beautifully that night in the Hall of Beauty and it was so
hard for me not to smile at him and say "YES, you are right!
Beauty's both inside and out!". Even though Ashley went home last
night, I believe that she has what it takes!!!! She was one of my
favorites as soon as she stepped out of the car to come to the
house. She had a great smile, beautiful figure, and was warm and
kind to us judges when we met her. Also, the girl can dress! It's
not wasted on me that she was a "team player" and helped Chelsea
with her outfit for the challenge.... I saw it, and now, so did all
of America. When I went to chat with Ashley after the show, she
mentioned how "fashion is her passion", and there is no doubt in my
mind she has the eye for it. Look out world, Ashley Michaelson
Originals will be coming your way soon! I believe that!
So, as we have come to a close on 2 weeks, I hope everyone sees that
its not just about a "perfect face" (Episode 1) or your "million
dollar look" (Episode 2)...yes those are fun to play into, but I want
us all to look at ourselves and how we act in our daily lives. Think
about the last time you told a fib that might have hurt someone or
something... if you recognize it, and do it differently next time...
you'll feel better about the end result, karma will be in your
favor. I promise!
Have a beautiful day!
Love, Vanessa
