Adele stated in her information for the shoot information that Acapulco was a hot spot in the 1950s as a getaway for millionaires and such. My picture is to represent the 1950s Hollywood movie star on a rich getaway to Acapulco. Dita is renowned for her Old Hollywood glamour style. In a black and white retro polka dot bikini with hair styled with a ribbon, and an aloof expression with sunglasses to fit the haughty and high and mighty personality of a rich person, as if to say "I have more money than you, so therefore, I'm better than you. Go away." |

Adele: I'm a big fan of vintage swimsuit. And the swimsuit compliment your body really well. I love the body language. Very flirty and sexy. Nice setting too. My only issue in this photo is your face. I don't feel the connection much from you. Overall great concept and great execution too.

Amanda: I like the idea behind this photo, but am mixed on the execution. Yes, I can definitely see this as being off the coast of Mexico, and the vintage swimsuit is glorious. However, I must take issue with various aspects of your head. Your face is BORED. You're wearing SUNGLASSES. And that thing in your hair is... just get rid of it. You need to pump more energy into this, and show us your eyes! Overall, this is just okay for me because you're not owning it, you're not living it. You're almost there, but not quite. Is it enough to keep you safe? Of course.

Natalie: I do like the antiquated feel of this. It fits the theme very well. I'm not totally bothered by the sunglasses because they're so summery, and I really like your bikini. Good job this week!

The hairband is from the 60s, as is the bikini... I think it accentuates the feel of the picture. And the expression and sunglasses, I did explain that it's meant to be an aloof "I'm better than you" type expression.  |

Hayley: I get what you were going for with this picture and it works. I do like the throwback to an old-style bathing suit, but it's slightly updated since it's a 2-piece. I like that you took the part about Acapulco being a hotspot for the rich in the 50s and you went with a girl-girl 50s theme. The photo being in black and white also helps it represent that time period. If I have to give one criticism, I would have liked a bit more of an impact from the photo. It's a nice picture and fits the theme perfectly, but from the modeling aspect, could have been a bit more impactful.
