Oh Flopmanda…

Cowboy Carter is almost a novelty album, and the novelty wore off. Most of her core fans don't listen to country, and she didn't push any of the pop or R&B-leaning songs to build support for the album from the GP. Honestly, she was lucky Texas Hold 'Em had TikTok virality. But at least the album is quality, got her the accolades she wanted, and was an attempt at challenging herself.

I do wonder if she's posting this because a lot of people's impulses after someone dies is to protect the parents/relatives, so she sees Hayden's parents giving an outpouring of support they may not be entitled to? Either way, it's crass to air out Hayden's specific messages to do this.

Minimalists Addison Rae - @Dolce Vita It's on theme, it's fine, it's safe. The lines of your body are nice. Amanda Seyfried - @Littlejfrey I appreciate going for the glamour shot here. There's a boldness that comes through in black and white that works for a minimalist theme. Bella Hadid - @blackoutbaby This is my favorite of the minimalist shots. There's still a lot of fun with perspective and shading, and there's still a POV despite the minimalist approach. The body language and facial expression are correct. Choi Sora - @petty This is a good entry. I enjoy the color palette. Face card is going through easily and the pose is nice. Hunter Schafer - @Spicy Pisces I appreciate the different color palette here compared to other entries. This photo isn't flattering but it is quality. You look like a 40 year old lesbian from Beverly Hills who is guest co-hosting The View and runs a wellness podcast. Irina Shayk - @Jai sometimes you really look like Aryna Sabalenka. This photo works for the theme and is effective. I like the use of flowers and the arm placement. Kate Moss - @Young In Love Very striking. Could belong in a high school textbook where they're talking about the Dust Bowl. Lisa - @Seffers It works, but try not to double down on the sexy businesswoman approach too much more. Remember to think of your portfolio. Soap Collins - @Luckitty This works even though the display of modeling is somewhat constrained by the pose and placement. The hair is a choice…but will not impact your score. Theres an Anne Hathaway kind of quality to this and the glimmer in your eye is captivating. Soo Joo Park - @fais_2311 The eye through the hair stops this from blending into the background. I like that the attention grabber is clear. Tyra Banks - @Kabrona I'm not sure where my eye is supposed to go here. The shot is simple but not necessarily minimalist. Part of me feels like Tyra had to have better options for this. Zhou Xun - @Julia Fox This is a strong shot to end this round on. I like that it shows minimalism can still be high concept.

Maximalists Allison Harvard - @Outbound Obviously I know this shot. There's a very "Alice in Wonderland" aspect to this based on the makeup, vibrant colors, and background. I think you're on theme here, and the pose/facial expression reflect that quizzical quality you're going for, but there could be more. Gisele Bundchen - @CBC I think you're certainly on theme. The artistic direction of this shot is interesting, including the grainy effect on the photo. The major drawback is that your neck is insanely, distractingly long here…but maybe that's your attempt at being maximalist? Guinevere van Seenus - @Lemon I love artistic direction of this shot, the garment, your birdlike pose. It's very cool. I do think it could learn more into maximalism, but sure. Joan Smalls - @Element maximalism through fashion works here, as far as being on theme is concerned. This does feel a bit safe though. Kali Uchis - @Isolation I'm not mad at this. The editing on this is very cool. I will say, I feel like this is the second cartoonish entry from you, so make sure you prioritize diversity while you build out your portfolio in future weeks. Phaedra Park - @orange22 You're serving, but you're in the wrong category. Sasha Pivovarova - @Opulent Certainly the strongest entry in this group.

Kylie's a corporate baddie yall have to be patient

Mother

Tbh I've never had this experience. Closeted bi guys? Sure (it doesn't work).

RIP to her, I know she endured a lot

None of this is my business…. Actually the cold cases one

Western Wind but make it BRAT

Maybe I'm in a different place mentally, or maybe it's a weaker album, but this album doesn't have much of a hold on me. There are a few tracks I'll definitely keep in rotation though.

Weren't a lot of these touring commitments made before he had her breakout hits this era? It makes sense she wouldn't immediately reap the benefits.

@Young In Love - I think I accidentally skipped you, but it was a quality entry. Strong artistic direction and use of color.
