Search For The Face of Alyssa-Jane: A WARNING!

I was browsing through the finalists album today and came across a photo with negative comments about another entrant. It annoys me to think that girls who are competing to be the face of Alyssa-Jane and wanting to represent my label would present themselves in such a way.

I have issued a warning this morning to all entrants and their friends, and the entrant who was making negative comments has since been deleted from the album and will no longer be considered for any Alyssa-Jane position.

For everyone who has entered or voted, please remember I am taking this VERY seriously. Alyssa-Jane does not want to be associated in any way with negative comments or online bullying. I am looking for a face to represent my label so please keep in mind that your actions and the things you say reflect not only on you but also myself and the future of the Alyssa-Jane label.

Warning as posted on Facebook:
Would like to make it very clear to ALL entrants of the competition & the friends who are voting that rude comments will NOT be tolerated. Anyone who posts negative comments on photos will be deleted from the competition and blocked from the Alyssa-Jane site. Not only are you creating a bad image for yourself you are also creating a bad image for the Alyssa-Jane brand. Consider this your first and only warning.

Search For The Face of Alyssa-Jane

So, the search for the face of Alyssa-Jane is currently in the third week and I've already had over 60 girls apply! I'm so happy that so many beautiful girls are interested in working with me and the label.
I've decided to change the way the competition will work as well, I'll be announcing finalists based on likes every week until the 14th of January but on certain weeks I'll also be choosing wildcards. Then, on the 15th of January I will choose the new face of Alyssa-Jane from the 15 finalists.

I'm so pleased to be able to announce that the first finalists are Pru Coffey and Chrissi Nero!

The first two wildcards have also been decided and are Chloe Maxwell and Jessica Street!

I've also been doing weekly leaderboards which give the girls an idea of where they sit compared to the other girls for their photo 'likes'.  Plus, its interesting to see who exactly is working hard on getting people to like their photo!

WEEK3 LEADERBOARD
1st Amy Williams (106 likes)
2nd Stevie-Lee DeFranciscis (75 likes)
3rd Clara Davis (68 likes)

If anyone is interested in taking part of the competition or the shoot in any way please contact me via the Alyssa-Jane facebook page or on alyssajanedesigns@live.com.au

Models!

I've been pretty busy over the last couple of days trying to get together stuff for the model interview and fitting and also organising the shoot that I completely forgot about the Search For The Face of Alyssa-Jane!

I'm running a competition where models can have their photos listed on the fan page and have their friends vote for them to become the face of Alyssa-Jane. Im so excited to see who the fans of the page vote for. I'm also really excited to see how many girls would be interested in working with a new fashion label.

The competition will run over 2 months and 8 finalists will be chosen based on the number of likes they have on their photo. Then on the 14th of January next year Im going to have the extremely hard task of choosing a winner. 

Its such exciting times ahead for Alyssa-Jane where new models are concerned and Im so excited to meet them and get to know them all!!

On Track...

I went to Spotlight (www.spotlight.com.au) today to try and find the rest of the fabrics for the first collection & I managed to get everything I was needing!  

Here's a sample photo of the rest of the fabrics...

I only ended up buying 4 more lots as I pretty much already had everything from my first order from fabric.com, I also managed to score cotton and zippers to match all the colours of the dresses. I also decided to buy a bodice pattern as I was trying to work on the pattern myself and it was turning out to be extremely challenging.

I definately feel like I'm on track to meet the January 14th deadline I've set for myself. I've got all the beautiful models coming up on the 15th of January for a fitting for the first shoot so it definately gives me something to work towards.

Fingers crossed the production will run smooth!
