I'm J Alexander, better known as Miss Jade, most of the people on America's Next Top Model and my title was hmm, model trainer, judge, big pain back on the butt, so Miss J is a legend. a model, he's a runway coach, he's a shoe line, he's a published author, he's been on over 200 episodes of Top Model. It was crazy that working was the highlight of the crop, so how do I think the girls will do today?

Don't know. I know how the girls will do. I know there are some standard poses that girls do. I feel like Miss J really has modeling down to a science and I'm so excited but eager to be with him in real time. I just grew up. I'm so excited to see Miss J, but I just want to make her proud. They supposedly come in different shapes and sizes, so she can be a little challenging, not for me, but for them, I'll try to be as nice as possible. Not everything is the same amount of love equally, okay, I'm excited, my palms are sweaty, so girls' fantasies are a good fantasy model.

Who would you like to be like? Grace Jones is my vibe. She is the epitome of equal fierceness and so is she. The androgynous style is really cool to me. I love Ashley Graham. I think it's amazing. I think she moves her body in incredible ways. I think she's really good at creating a big S curve, so I really liked Victoria's tone and vibe. Beckham Tasha oh go ahead, I really like how stoic she always is and she has a restful face which is something I have to deal with a lot. I look a lot like Lily Cole as a model just because she embodies this charming innocence. and she seems so pure, it's okay, because she is quite special, she is a woman who has such enormous control, so girls, today there is a photo shoot, but there is also a challenge and today's challenge for each of her girls, the four elements for Devin. the earth Chantelle, you will be air, fire, you will be Miss Kristin, you know, I know most black girls would like to engage because you know then I would get my hair wet.

I have eaten, the house is ready, you are water, darling. Today girls, are you ready, girls, to put makeup on your hair? What did I get myself into today? So I think today even the earth, I am earth, I am mother earth today in our session and the thing about the earth is that you have to have a lot of it. of gifts today we have to marry Lily, call the earth and defense. Lily Cole doesn't like posing much, but she also doesn't like to do much to her face, she just lets her expressions and her eyes speak for themselves, so she really wanted to do it.

I have a lot of gifts in my photos and I'm as unapologetic as Pam. I'm here. Why did you choose? We tried. Beckham. There is a role model for this photo shoot. I really respect how stoic she is all the time and like you said, she's very. I have a lot of control and that's something I really want to emulate in my life you're air, yes when you think about Airy it's very fluid and very ethereal, but air is also something that people can't live without, you have to deliver fire. I was actually a little surprised that this was my element because I thought, oh, I can make wider faces or whatever, but I don't really know how to make a fierce face to make a face like a Halloween mask.

Think of yourself as a Woman who could do anything, no matter what they say, Miss J is really good, she is also much more patient and kind than you think. The element is water. I water, yeah, how do you feel about that? Because she, like Grace Jones, she is very kind. As my number one, I feel like her style is kind of the opposite of soft water floating in the ocean, so it will be when I think it's the Mediterranean Sea and the Indian Ocean, they meet this, it's really quite powerful and dangerous. Actually, now what you don't know is that each girl will get 15 frames.

Stop, 15 frames to get it right. There are not many frames. You only need one. You only need one. Do you know how many selfies I take before I select the right one? one, this is it and that is ruining the fashion business selfies and Instagram models. I think I just turn these girls into no, but yeah, let's do this. I remember walking there and I was shaking a little bit and I just remember saying, "Okay, Devin, breathe." You understood this and you lower your chin a little, you open your eyes a little, she looks very sad, okay, always elegant fingers, always delicate fingers, Miss J is amazing.

I could feel her presence around me and it was loving but also very strict and that's how it was. it was really cool, we definitely traveled, there was a moment during the session where I dropped a flower and like the instinct was, oh it's mine, pick it up and it was like I felt so grounded in reality, advice to her It would be attacking. shows mouth, I'm not that tight, so if she had relaxed a little bit, but in 15 frames we have one so far, very good, your air, so you should be there, there should be movement, it should be smooth graceful movements that they took out. the fan we're starting to get to my little eyeballs where I was like oh, you don't really know what my eyes were doing your direction is a little almost shapeless it's there you have to liven it up I tried to kind of get out of my head a little bit, no I don't know if I could really do that or not, but I was trying to understand that as a movement and that this day was showing me before, so you air, you're not monkey's paw, not monkey's ball, and get that other toad that you she puts her toes behind you, on tiptoe, yes they are delicate, eat it, she was great, she knew she could spread her body and get into her toes, sometimes it's enough to comfort him. the natural Me when he said the pictures were bright 1 2 3 yes, press the fabric, you can press the fabric, attention, yes, my ankles were like on fire, I couldn't see, I was trying so hard to look like it was So.

It's okay to control, but I was much more okay, just be great, just be perfect at this, all you can do is be perfect in every photo, perfect, perfect, yeah, what a girl can't see, she me You know, you can't make physical contact. visual direction gyms put tough clothes on their boys, but Kristen we have if I start it you're a mermaid, yes, you're Warner, you're doing the boys pose, come follow me. I really love my water look. I feel like it really embodies. the ocean and I feel like a mermaid receiving instructions with cameras watching me and the crew watching me, so there was a lot to be aware of.

It also used to work within the photo. I let myself think while looking at the fingers. Elegant fingers. You make your hand like this, so I always have this infamous problem in photos without really knowing what to do with my hands. I like to cut them a lot, but Miss J really guides me by making sure they are relaxed and elegant and that my fingers fell a certain way the rest of her body moves at Rutgers she is lost with her hands see this is not being elegant with the hands be elegant it's daytime but we have a lot of photos here so girls You said 14 chances and you did it so let's see the shots.

Are you ready? My dress was amazing. I really loved how the designers incorporated real flowers and plants that they picked this morning and it really helped me focus and really get one with the land. I think I offered a variety of shots and I think I did a good job. My entire wardrobe worked out so well and was so cool and so different than anything I would have chosen for myself. I didn't know what I could take. a good photo without my frown, he said, yes, smile or look cool and I said, I will smile or do that, sir. yeah one point, smiling, we had no idea we were taking a photo and the shot of him is brilliant.

I loved my little outfit, it's great. I feel like a little fire butterfly. I think I was supposed to like the Ashley Graham Channel and also fire, and I was done. channeling only Kristin. I was able to stay calm and took a couple of photos. Miss J Light apparently I am very conscious of my body. I felt very confident doing the full body movements that Ms. J told me to do and really capturing that water. movement, the photo that was chosen was a very smiling and giggly photo that isn't entirely in line with what Grace Jones is known for, although I think that really showed that I brought more of myself to this shoot rather than trying to emulate Grace.

Jones, which I think was the purpose of this challenge. Every girl today to me gave you something completely different, but they didn't give me something that was the same, which was a little insecure because it's not what they do every day, but I did pretty well, this is a day like a rollercoaster of emotions, but we made it happen. I'm so glad I was able to do it with the rest of the girls and like a lady. This experience taught me that confidence is everything I learned, that I do it perfectly. good job when i'm not trying hard no one likes to try hard sometimes you just have to be natural if you're like me and you get stuck in your own head it's so easy to let that stop you from doing what you're actually fully capable of doing no you have to be perfect it's the first time I've really stepped out of my comfort zone into something that I really didn't even know if I could do it's really cool anyone who's good at something that didn't necessarily come into this automatically being good it's all work it's all It's a journey and everyone works at something hard enough to be very successful at it.

I remember girl, keep your day job, I let you try it lady, would you do this again in a heartbeat
