I love modelling – but do you think I should instead try to make my mark with an acting career?

Question

My name is Ylenia and I've just been eliminated from Canada's Next Top Model.

Answer 1

♥ if your any good at acting go for it ♥

Answer 2

Ylenia, You Are So Gorgeous,
I Definetly Think You Should Have WON The Whole Competition,
But If You Want TO Act You Should Give It A Shot, Because Penelope Cruiz Is Acting And She Has An Acent And Is Drop Dead Gorgeous, SO You Can Also. But Dont Leave Modeling Behind, Try Comercials, Or Magazine Modeling First !

Answer 3

Hi Ylenia!

First, let me say you that you're a lovable person with a big heart! I'm really sad that you're eliminated from Canada's Next Top Model, because you are my favourite.

I think your photo shoot was stunning, but the judges doesn't have the same eye than me... Unfortunately!

I think you should pursue your dreams! If you want to make your mark in an acting career, go for it! I know you can make both! You are gorgeous, so a modelling career would be great too!

I know that you'll make something BIG! Just let the things goes... Don't let a simple elimination stop you!

You're maybe out of the show... But you're the winner for me! Keep up your good work!

Answer 4

Ylenia, if you love modelling you should not quit now. There are plenty of modeling opportunities out there. Frankly, I don't think the fact that you photograph older than your age was a reason to be eliminated. If you've got a good make-up artist they should be able to make you look any age. I was betting that you would be Canada's Next Top Model. You were the only model with grace, finesse, awesome personality and fabulous looks.
You will have no problem pursuing a career in modeling as long as you stay true to what you want and don't give up because someone thought you should. This experience is very valuable because it teaches you that in this industry you are always up against somebody's opinion which is not always what you want to hear. Being a top model is about persuasion. Take what you've learned on CNTM and go out there with a new attitude. Somebody will be fascinated by capturing your look on camera.
Best of luck and I'm sure I will look up an ad in the future and see your face on it.

Answer 5

Ylenia,

I defintely think you should stick to modelling. The judges on the show probably eliminated you because they knew that out of everyone else, you had the best chance at making it in the modelling industry without their help.

P.S. You DO NOT look old. But, even if you do look a few years older than some of the other girls - so what? You are still a hundred percent more attractive and have more of the "model look" than any of the remaining contestants on the show.

Answer 6

Ylenia, I think that you are gorgeous. If modelling is your dream then you very well can pursue it. All the guest judges loved you, just from watching the show I can tell that you have a wonderful presonality. I am sure something better than "Canada's Next Top Model" can come your way. In my eyes you should have been the winner, It was very unfair for the judges to eliminate you. Best of luck in the future, you are gorgeous both inside and out. Don't let ANYONE bring you down.

Answer 7

Hi Ylenia,

I do think you are gorgeous and have that classy italian look, however, I was not shocked that you were eliminated. I think you could have done a sexier type of modelling like victoria's secret or sports illustrated although I don't think you would be interested in that because you seemed very nervous during the lingerie shoot. I don't think you have the right body type for haute couture, that's more Andrea's thing. You should try acting if that's what you want but just remember that they will also tell you that you have wide hips. That's the entertainment industry for you. You are a sweet person so I'm not sure if your made for such a harsh industry. Just remember, your beautiful and you don't need to look like a stick figure.

Answer 8

Hi Ylenia,
Me and my friends were so upset when you got eliminated! You are by FAR the best. You could be a top model next week if you want to. About an acting career, i think you would be terrific! But, you should start by modelling and took advantage of the experience you've just gotten with Canada's Next Top Model and the fact that it's just so "hot" wright now. It will never be to late to star acting. You have a sensibility so profound and touching that is unique to you. You could honestly be the next Sophia Loren or Monica Belluci. Don't ever listen to ANYONE who tells you that you are too curvy or that you photograph old ! You are the most beautiful woman i have EVER seen, actress and models combined. You are breathtaking just the way you are. Agencies are gonna come running to you. Never forget who you are and where you're from and don't ever, ever change for anyone. I swear i'm gonna follow you're career closely. You already have thousand of fans. Rush to Toronto or New York. I'm sure you're gonna be a bigger star then the girl who will win Canada's Next Top Model.

Love,

Josianne

Answer 9

I believe that you should pursue what you truly love, if it is modelling then go for it.

There were five judges judging you, five different opinions, all very subjective. Some liked your bone structure, some said it was not suitable for 'catwalk' modelling. All very subjective, and thus can't be taken as the 'god honest truth'.

I think that if the public had an opportunity to vote, the odds would have been in your favor. You showed grace under pressure. You avoided the whole 'cattiness' game, and I found your modesty very endearing( I also thought you were very brave when it came to the topless modelling).

Most of all I thought you were the most attractive of all the girls, curves and all. You are by no means a 'big girl' and I think you should feel very blessed by the body that the good Lord has given you.
Our body's are really only a shell, that houses one's spirit. You have a beautiful spirit and I think if you started to truly believe in yourself that spirit would come shining through in anything you choose to do. I definitely think you should pursue modelling, all you can do is your best and at the end of the day if that doesn't work, you move on with no regrets for having tried your best.

I know everyone was not fond of Sisi(especially the viewers) , but I think the reason why she did so well was because she did believe in herself and she didn't spend time dwelling on her crooked teeth and lazy eye. She embraced what she had and made the most of it. I personally hope she doesn't win(because she came across as a mean spirited person, which is definitely not attractive).
I do admire her for her confidence and I think that is the key to success, in whatever path one chooses.

Good Luck Ylenia!

Answer 10

Ylenia, go for modelling. Don't listen to these judges. They're crazy. You are the most beautiful girl. You had the best pictures there. You have a great body.The photographers LOVED you. You did not look old at all. The votes don't lie. Thousands of people love you, compared to only a couple hundred who think Tricia was right. I suggest that you start with modelling and once you're up there you can do both modelling and acting. And by the way, you don't need "good luck"... I'm 100% sure you'll be a famous model. Take care.

Answer 11

If I were you then I would certainly choose modelling than becoming an actress because once you become an actress, what you do is study the lines ,I mean it's boring. Look don't get me wrong on these everyone's got a dream and I have got a dream that is to become the greatest play writer in the world and also an astronomer. But Ylenia get this that if you try to be everything then you won't be anything, so , girl take my advice and listen to your inner voice and hear what it has to say about
yourself. Even you must have dreamt of of becoming something
when you were just a kid but what I know dreams are just dreams and reality is what you are. So, the choice is on your hand and make it quick, don't let your dreams slip away from you
even if you have to skip your acting career cos there is a hope even in partings that we shall meet again.
Bye for now I've got lot of home works to do.
