Earlier this cycle there was a posing challenge judged by Tarina Tarantino, a notable jewelry and accessory designer. While most girls attempted to put their feet behind their head, hang on the chandelier or put handbags where no handbag should ever go – Elina, the resident vegan from the Ukraine, opted for poses that weren’t so ridiculous. As boring and bland as she comes off, her stunning face managed to clinch this challenge for her and as a result she scored a photo shoot for an upcoming Tarina Tarantino campaign.

Shot by photographer, Austin Young, Elina was transformed into a part anime-inspired, part Candy Land, neon princess. While Tarina Tarantino isn’t exactly my cup of tea, I have to admit these ads definitely jump off the screen and grab your attention.

As for the prospective Top Model? It doesn’t seem she has to do much to take a great photo, the styling does all the work for her. I think Tyra would be a little disappointed as well, there isn’t much smiling with the eyes going on!
