Britain's Next Top Model: Louise Holds Her Head High

Who could have looked good on a buckaroo? This week, the newly made-over hopefuls competing for Britain's Next Top Model went from selling hairspray on a bucking bronco to hosting hounds in a photo shoot. When all was said and done, the judges decided Louise Heywood didn't cut it in front of the camera. But, as Louise would say, that's just their opinion.

I was very surprised at this week’s bottom two. On the photo shoot, I was confident, but you never know what’s going to happen, do ya? On my elimination, the judges said they were continually disappointed with my photos, which confused me – they liked my first and second photo, so I’m not sure why they said that. I don’t think their reasons were good enough for me to go home, and I wasn’t expecting to go.

My picture this week was quite good – it wasn’t the best but it wasn’t the worst. I’ve never seen pictures like that of myself so I think it was really good. I can’t complain that I didn’t get enough props or too many props to work with – you should just be able to work with what you’re given and that’s what makes a good model.

Hey – That’s Just Me!

My personal style is different. If something looks good on me, then I’ll wear it. I like quite colorful and unusual stuff – but I do dress normal, I’m not saying I dress like a freak! It’s just me – it’s what I like.

They didn’t really show it on TV, but sometimes the judges said, ‘do this, do that with your clothes’ but I dress the way I want to dress! They picked me because of me and they should like me for me. I shouldn’t have to change fully just to please someone else. And you can’t argue with someone who doesn’t like it; it’s just difference of opinion.

I did like the makeover, though. On TV, they made me look a bit too confident, but I’m a twin and my twin has black hair so I knew I’d suit it.
