The finale of Mostly Model's Next Top Model Cycle 4 is finally here! Maryna and Natasha have managed to beat out some very fierce competitors: Vlada Roslyakova, Chanel Iman, Bette Franke, Kim Noorda, Hye Park, Diana Moldovan, Abbey Lee Kershaw, and Erin Heatherton. But who will be the sole winner, and be crowned the next Top Model champ? 

Will it be Maryna "Megamodel" Linchuk? Or Natasha "Perfection" Poly?

The final challenge photos consist of: a high-fashion editorial photo, a magazine cover, a Victoria's Secret runway photo, and a street photo. I think it's safe to say both of our models look fantastic on and off the runways. 

Who will be our winner? It's all up to you! DO NOT FORGET TO VOTE!!!!

Challenge... Cover Girls

The first thing you look at when you buy a magazine? The cover! That's why it's super importat that our models lure in your wallets with their eyes... and get you to purchase their lovely faces!

Challenge... Smells Like Model Spirit

Like the title says, this week's "Challenge" is all about the senses - the scent sense in particular! A model isn't truly established until, along with many other projects, she's got that perfume campaign under her belt. Our fabulous final four sure are smelly, but we love it.

Last weeks Challenge winner: Natasha Poly :)

Eliminated from the last post: Abbey Lee Kershaw :( - yes, I know her picture last week was a fragrance campaign...

Here are our fragrant final four:

Natasha Poly - Even a Golden Goddesses Needs a Signature Scent

Bette Franke - I'll Bette Two for the Price of One

Maryna Linchuk - When a Scent is Lighter Than Air...

Vlada Roslyakova - I Wonder What an Angel Smells Like (Vlada Knows)

**We're nearing the end and your vote is more important than ever!** 

Who will be eliminated? Who will move on to the next round? Who knows!

Photo(s) of the Week

Delicious indulgences (both the jewelry and the food!) and Natasha looks absolutely gorgeous, of course. Reeeeeally wanting that bracelet and headband in the third pic...

Challenge... Up!

Sadly no, this post is not going to be about a man and his balloon house, but instead, there will be (drumroll please) jumping/leaping/prancing models! Surely you can get your fill of this by simply flipping through any issue of American Vogue from the past 40+ years, but we felt this lighthearted pose needed to be commemorated in this segment of "Challenge".

Last weeks Challenge winner: Bette Franke :)

Eliminated from the last post: Erin Heatherton :(

And here are our frolicking final five fashionistas:

Vlada Roslyakova - Scared Straight Up

Natasha Poly - Haughty High Kick

Bette Franke - Walking in Mid Air

Maryna Linchuk - Stepping to New Heights

Abbey Lee Kershaw - The Flying, Floating, Flora

Who will be eliminated? Who will move on to the next round? Who knows! DON'T FORGET TO VOTE!

Challenge... The Sisterhood

Model friendships - what a sight! One after another, giving each other hugs, greetings, exchanging stories of fashion weeks past - gotta love 'em. The models in our "Challenge" are also friends, so why not have a challenge to see which are the very best of friends?

Last weeks Challenge winner: Natasha Poly :)

Eliminated from the last post: Chanel Iman :(

Just in case it was unclear, the models whose names are bolded are the contestants.

Abbey Lee and Aline Weber - The models that smoke together, stick together...?

Maryna Linchuk and Natasha Poly - Pals who party all night long!

Bette Franke and Irina Lazareanu - Smiles, sparkles, and sequins: supermodel style!

Vlada Roslyakova and Sasha Pivovarova - They're so "ova" fashion week, cause they just wanna hang out.

Erin Heatherton and Olga Sherer - Flawless faces = flawless friendship

Who will be eliminated? Who will move on to the next round? Who knows! DON'T FORGET TO VOTE!

Challenge... Achy Breaky Heart

I'm pretty sure that none of you followers are major Billy Ray Cyrus fans (I'm definitely not!),so have no fear, because this weeks Challenge is not about the one-hit wonder, but simply takes the title from the song. I doubt Natasha Poly relaxes backstage listening to the country crooner and his daughter sing duets. No relation to the horrible song, let's get that straight.

Last weeks Challenge winner: Vlada Roslyakova :)

Eliminated from the last post: Hye Park :(

Vlada Roslyakova - Shadowed in Sorrow

Erin Heatherton - Grief Stricken 

Chanel Iman - Iced Over Heart

Natasha Poly - These Aren't Tears of Joy

Abbey Lee Kershaw - Nauseous Longing

Maryna Linchuk - Praying for a Miracle

Bette Franke - There Won't be Trumpets

Who will be eliminated? Who will move on to the next round? Who knows! DON'T FORGET TO VOTE!
