Barratt.... Virgo Virgo is The Virgin. I picked this photo because traditionally virgins wear white and I think I look pretty innocent with my hand going through my hair in this but let's face it I'm ready for my first time. Julia: This is a nice photo, Barrett. I like the route you took with it, and I think you embody what you've described. You facial expression is very seductive. As a virgin, though, that shirt open is a bit revealing, don't ya think? LOL! But, otherwise, good work. Heidi: OMG I seriously thought this was Ricky Martin for a minute! This looks almost identical to one of his album covers! Anyway, you look very pure and innocent, yet seductive and ready to lose that purity at the same time! I actually really like this! Well done, Barrett!! Janice: If you're a virgin then I'm Mother Theresa!!!! Hahahahahaha, no I'm sure I shouldn't even joke like that. But seriously, I think you actually do like a virgin Barrett. I think you look innocent and your sex appeal isn't spewing lustful stuff at me. I'm actually impressed with this shot. Hilary: Barratt, this is awesome. I love this shot soooo much. When I first looked at this it made me smile - very happy we kept you. And if you need someone to teach you for your first time....lol *sigh* I know I know don't touch the models. Good job Barratt! Heidi: Oh, Hilary, touch all you want! I know I'm going to! Sssshhhh Don't tell Seal! LOL Emma: TBA Later!

Mat... I chose this pictute becuase I am a libra. Libra's are known to be strong/fierce. Also they are said to be very romantic and charming. This picture I thought liek he was Prince Charming trying to save the princess. Julia: Mat, this is an interesting take on the characteristics of your sign. I am not too fond of your facial expression in this photo, but I think your clothing, props, and background help to make this photo stand out. All in all, I think you did a good job of matching your qualities to your photo. Nice work. Janice: Don't forget about loyal. Libra's are loyal but also prone to loving the underdog regardless of the situation. Anyway... I do agree with the fierce and strong. I don't know if you look fierce and strong though. Sure you're wielding that sword but do you look like your about to cut off someone's head? No darling not you. There is something about the pose that doesn't connect. I see the strength in your face but your arm just dangling up there... it looks almost like your arm is just "there" just "blah". It's not bad but something about it isn't connecting for me. Hilary: Hmmmm sorry, Mat. Not quite getting this. I do agree that your fierce and strong attributes show but...I don't like this photo. It's really just weird. Sorry, I don't know how else to describe it. Heidi: Mat, I have a soft spot for Prince Charmings, and I see the traits of the Libra, so I guess that's kinda what matters. But I'm really not liking this too much. Your face is doing the missing eye trick! And the facial expression... not too fond of it.... I'm sorry, love. Emma: TBA Later!

Travis... The sign is Scorpio because he is powerful and passionate and determined. it's hard to express what they are feeling. In this photo, Travis is very quiet but determined, you can't tell what he is thinking. Julia: I can tell that you look pretty intense in this photo, Travis. You don't really seem to have a look of determination in the photo, but you do possess the look of passion. I am not completely sold on this one, but good try. Janice: I do see determination on your face. It's a very strong and firm facial expression so I do like that Travis. But right off the bat I looked at this and thought... ohhhh he's gotta be a Leo, he looks like a lion ready to pounce. Anyway, still the determination is there. I don't see the passion though. Hilary: Yes, I would have totally said Leo - being one myself I usually recognize them....but I still like this, Travis. You do look determined and I see powerful, too. Good job. Heidi: I though Leo too actually. But I do see the strength and determination of a Scorpio! I kind of like this! Not bad, Travis! Emma: TBA Later!

Tyson.... Shoot 3 : My Zodiac Sign. Libra I have decided to do my zodiac sign, which is Libra. Libra could be described as Romantic & Charming AND, that's what I chose because in this picture I think he looks " charming " Hope you like it. Julia: Tyson, you look nice in this photo, but I don't think you were very creative here. I think charming is a bit of a stretch here, and you're showing a lot of skin, so I might have thought you would have possibly went a different route. Fair effort. Janice: I agree with Julia. Charming? Charming is sitting me down at a table with a tablecloth and fine linen's for napkins and holding my hand while you look into my eyes.... or holding the door open for a lady while she exists a vehicle or holding her groceries... I don't know. You're just standing there doing nothing. There is nothing charming about doing nothing. Hilary: WOAH Tyson! That chest! Those abs! This job is going to turn me into a puddle of goo....But anyway, even though I think you look absolutely hot in this photo, I have to agree that I don't find it charming. Sorry Tyson. Heidi: I, my dear Tyson, must agree. I don't think this is very charming. I think it's strong and seductive, and HOT! I don't think this is very Libra at all. Emma: TBA Later!

Sean... Week 3- Know Your Sign The Gemmini sign is one of the more interesting ones to examine because they are known to have two different personalities and traits that sometimes clash with one another.When you get to know a Gemini personally, you'll soon realize that they are generally intellectual, spontaneous, inquisitive, cheerful, imaginative, curious and extremely witty people also be inconsistent, restless, tense, irresponsible and two-faced Julia: I'm not sure what to make of this photo, Sean. You're showing us 2 different photos, here, and I'm not sure that's allowed. I know you're going with the sign of Gemini and they are known for their duality, but here you're displaying 2 photos of yourself, rather than embodying a trait in one photo. Also, you've mentioned various characteristics of your sign, and while I can see some of them fitting with these photos, I wish you would have zeroed in on a main one and focused there. I'm just left feeling a bit confused here, altogether. Janice: Yes I am questioning it as well. I can see where the twins come into play here. Isn't Gemini the twins (?) but still, I didn't know we were allowed to give two pictures even though they are from the same editorial. At that, I'm just confused. I can see all of the traits you listed in both pictures and that is kind of neat. I don't know. I like the idea of portraying the twins, as twins. I don't know if its allowed but still I think it's cute. Hilary: Sean, I do see what you were going for but Julia and Janice are right - two photos is not allowed. You should have only posted one. I find they look pretty much the same anyway - aren't you supposed to be opposite twins with different personalities? You both look goofy and frazzled to me. Sorry love. Heidi: Sean, I agree completely with what the girls have said. One photo was all you were supposed to post, unless I specifically say 2 photos. I agree, I'm not seeing too much of a difference in the "Gemini Twins" which is the point. If you had used one picture to embody a trait of Gemini, that would have been great, but I'm not liking this at all. Emma: TBA Later!

Ryan.... Shoot III - WHAT'S YOUR ZODIAC SIGN?GeminiGemini's are supposed to be superficial [which we are, mind you]. And I believe this photo showcases that perfectly. Someone superficial cares about how he looks, and dresses in nice clothes. Janice: WOW there sure are a lot of Gemini's among us. OK, Well darling. I'm almost bored with all of this zodiac stuff and you're not helping entertain me with this shot. I can see you being superficial with your weight lifting but the shot as a whole is just a yawn for me Julia: I'm going to have to agree with Janice here, I can see that you're superficial, but this photo leaves me a little empty. I think you have a strong profile here, but I would have rather seen your face a bit more head on and all the colors surrounding you are a bit much for me. Hilary: Well, I do like the colors - it's kind of eye-catching, but I don't see the corrolation here with superficial. I also don't like the far-turned head. It's not even a profile - you are almost facing the other way. Not your best, sweetie. Heidi: I'm going to be the odd one out on this, I guess! I actually like this! I see a superficial, vain modle here! (Though, I must say, your look is a little dated. You look like you walked out of the 80's...) Not your best, but I still like it! Emma: TBA Later!

Miro.... Leadership, Passionate
Being the first sign of the zodiac seems to make Aries natural leaders. They are lovers of freedom and exploring new ideas. Taking a gamble on something new never fazes an Aries. They are seen as ambitious, exciting, and vibrant individuals who gravitate towards the center of any action because of these traits. They are fearless and courageous and will fight passionately for what they want. Their energy and enthusiasm are contagious and they are a keen competitor. They are ardent in love and won't hesitate to make the first move. Julia: Miro, nice job on hitting the theme here. I can see the passion in this photo. I think posing with someone here could have been a gamble, but it looks to have paid off. I wish I could see a bit more of your face in this, but I do like how you're interacting with your female counterpart. That makes this photo stand out in relation to your zodiac characteristic. Nice work. Janice: I have to admit that when i came onto this picture I thought HOLY SMOKES the guy is an Aquarius or a Pisces, something to do with water. But nope, your a Goat, or a Ram or whatever you want to call yourself. I had to read your full description to kind of figure out what you were going for her. I actually had to sift through it quite a ways to find out that you were an Aries. Anyway, I didn't really see the connection until the last little bit of fighting for what you want and all that other stuff you added in. You look HOT, I love a man who handles his women and doesn't get handled. So good job on that. Less wordiness next time please. Try to sum up what I want to hear in a few lines and give me what I want to know right away... You are an ARIES... right away. Thanks Miro! Hilary: Well, Miro - since Janice took up all the time and we have to break for a commercial shortly....let me just say this is HAWT! And you do epitomize passion so great job! *runs off to get some water* Heidi: Woooow! This is gorgeous! I love that you two are definately hot for eachother! The passion is very real! I know a couple of people from this sign, and they are just like that.... well.... not in public... lol but yeah, you get what I mean. Miro, this is amazing! And I want to see the rest of that interesting tattoo.... Emma: TBA Later!

Mathias... PHOTO SHOOT - ZODIAC SIGNCapricorn Capricorns are ambitious and hard working, and reserved. Here he is going on a business trip. Hilary: Mathias, I can see the business trip aspect with the brief case, I'm just not digging this picture that much. It's okay - I really hate these clothes, though, and I don't know what kind of a business meeting you would be going to....and I don't think your face looks very good here. Janice: You want me to keep it short and sweet is that what you're saying Hilary? I can be short but I don't know if I'm ready to be sweet!! Mathias, you look like you could be a hard worker I guess. Leaning up against the fence waiting for the train. Sure why not. I agree with the clothing thing that Hilary said. To me they don't come across as business attire. Maybe you're artist... then that would work. But artists aren't' hard working so it doesn't work! You see, once again I'm too long winded because I'm confused on why I don't dislike this but why I don't' like it. If you could just give me something I love then then I could say .... GREAT JOB and move on already! I'm moving on! Julia: I like the intense look in your eyes, Mathais, and I can see that you look to be going off to somewhere with your bag in tow, which shows that you are a motivated, hard worker, so I see your connection to the theme here. Decent effort, overall. Heidi: I'm sorry, Mathias, but I have to agree. You definately do not look like a business man here. You acutally look like a student at Harvard... They are DEFINATELY hard working and ambitious... otherwise they wouldn't be going to Harvard... if you had said that, I definately would have beleived that this was a Capricorn a lot easier than I do now. I kind of see it, but yet I don't. Sorry Emma: TBA Later!

Andrew.... Traditional Aquarian Traits Friendly and humanitarian Honest and loyal All wonderful traits to be a pet owner Hilary: Andrew, you sure know how to step it up! You get better each week. You nailed the theme! I think the photo is nice - you really match your description. Good job! Janice: I agree with Hilary, it's a nice turn around and you do impress. I for one like the puppies more then I like you but that's just my nature darling. Dogs and Men... I'd choose dogs. Anyway, everything Hilary said except the quality seems a tad grainy. Over all it's not bad and probably one of the best. Good job. Julia: I like this Andrew, you have a very kind, soft look on your face and I see all the traits you described about your sign, here in this photo. Nicely done! Heidi:OMG FINALLY! I'm the Aquarian Queen right here! I am such a stereotypical Aquarius it isn't funny! This is PERFECTION!!! and those puppies are so damned adoreable!!!! *Squee!!!* I'm SSOOOOOO glad that someone did that sign, and did it right!!! Well done, Andrew! BRAVO! Emma: TBA Later!

Eugen.... I've shown my sexy side, now I want to show my intellectual side. Julia: Eugen, I think you have hit the nail on the head here. Great work. I see a very strong, pensive nature to you in this photo and think it matches perfectly with what you've described about your sign. I think the profile view of you is creative. The only complains I might have here is the lighting in the photo is a bit dark, you're set far back in the shot, and your outfit blends in with the chair you're sitting on, but I still think you've nailed the theme here, so great work. Hilary: Eugen, this is tremendous! I LOVE everything about this shot! You fit your characteristics to a T and what's more - you illustrate them with a fabulous photo. Look at how that chair matches your jacket. Wow! There is nothing sexier on a guy than his brain - and YOU are sexy. (oh yeah and you look hot too) Great job! *runs to get more water* Janice: WOW, now I'm actually impressed here. I do this shows off an intellectual side of you and I think the description is spot on for matching the shot. Good Job Eugen *looks over at Hilary*. Hilary darling why must you keep running for water? Are you Hot? Are you in Heat? Can you not keep water here... if you get to hot I can just throw straight on you would like. Heidi: Eugen, this is incredible! I love everything about this! You look very intelligent and pensive. You also look very dapper! This is another perfect shot! You are another one that gets better as the weeks go on! Well done! Emma: TBA Later!

Evandro... Week 3: Aries- adventurous, confident and independent. His adventure comes from sailing on the high seas, the stature shows that he is very confident and he's alone on this journey to show his independence. Julia: Evandro, I think this is a very nice, crisp, clear shot of you. I can completely see what you've described your characteristics to be here, as well. I love the setting and I think you embody the look of confidence and independence, by being alone. Overall, good job! Hilary: Evandro, this is a great photo and you also totally fit your character traits. You picked one of the ones I wanted you to from your roughs. Great job! Janice: I agree with what the other ladies had to say. I think the shot is good, and yeah... adventurous... You're on a boat. I can't argue that you aren't adventurous. A little boring and posed, it would have been nice to see you do something other then lean. Other then that good job. Heidi: Evandro, this is great! Adventure on the High Seas! It would have been better if you were in a Pirate costume... I have a soft spot for Pirates too... *Sigh* But this is still REALLY GOOD! Very Aries! Emma: TBA Later!

OH WOW thank you judges. I was so torn, I spent about an hour comparing two pictures and trying to think which was the right way to go. The minute I read through all the traits I knew which photoshoot I wanted to use.
btw, we are so NOT superficial lmao
