By Potes | Season 6 | Episode 4 | Aired on 03.28.2006
The girls arrive at a warehouse, where they meet male model Lawrence Zarian. What the fuck does he have to do with anything? I hate him, though I will venture to say that I find his website quite hilarious. He tells the girls that they'll be tested on their ability to pose in a commercial manner by doing a shoot for Sears. He notes that, behind him, there are sets indicative of four different seasons. He helpfully and slowly tells us that those seasons are spring, summer, fall, and winter. Ahh, I always forget what that last one is! There are hair, makeup, and wardrobe stations. The girls will each be tested on how they do their own hair, makeup, and wardrobe, as well as how successfully they pose for each season. He introduces them to photographer Russell Baer, who looks like he just came off of the set of Maury, where he was simultaneously chastised for wearing out his welcome as a houseguest and forced to take a DNA test to see if he fathered his girlfriend's cousin's baby. Maury Povich is all about the DNA testing. Russell tells the girls that time is money, and that the girls will have to direct themselves.
Jade is first. She dresses and poses for spring, then summer, etc., etc. Lawrence tells her to hurry up. Jade says that she just had fun with the seasons and feels great. "I'm Jade, man! Look at me!" she says. Her photos are pretty good, I have to say.
Mollie Sue is next, and says that the clothing from Sears is new, exciting, and bright. And also, from Sears, which might override her first point. Her photos are okay.
Sara does the Janice laugh. Russell says that she has the whole package.
Leslie is next and is so pretty that I wish we'd get more frequent reminders that she's on the show.
Brooke tries to do the Janice laugh. She says that she's not so comfortable with the laughing and the smiling. Lawrence says that he'd really hoped that Brooke would nail it, but that her inexperience surfaced in the form of her face and body not matching together. I have no idea what that means.
Danielle heroically overcomes her gimpy pinky toe and does a fine job.
Lawrence says that, at first he was put off by Nnenna because she was so quiet. Nnenna tells us that she might seem quiet, but that it's because she's focusing on the task at hand. Lawrence helpfully explains that although Nnenna is a quiet person, she comes alive in pictures and is very inviting.
Furonda is next, and she looks crazy in her pictures. I enjoy Furonda and all, but every so often I just get a good look at her face and have a real moment of clarity about this whole situation.
