Amazing stuff, National! I love what you've done here and thanks for sharing all of this with us. Greatly appreciate your time and effort.
I voted for Candice Swanepoel as well for all the reasons other people said. She is one very special woman. She has lovely feet on display for all of us to look at and enjoy. Not that Marisa doesn't, it's just that Candice does.

Marisa Miller is in the finals again. Why am I not surprised? Marisa is always carrying the workload for the AFC. And now, Marisa finds herself in there with Candice Swanepoel. A nice girl, but she's no goddess like Marisa.
You know, Marisa almost never loses. And it would be sweet if Marisa gets her first title over the girl who robbed her of the title last year. Now, Marisa is just playing possum. I will let all you Candice fans THINK that she's got control of the match. This is Marisa's time. You know it, I know it, we all know it. Marisa is not here to lose a second straight time in the finals. C'mon, do you really think that's gonna happen?
Candice has a body of a little girl. Candice is in kindergarten compared to Marisa. Miller is all woman. After Candice loses tonight, I'll have that rookie pilot, who was at the helm when Marisa lost her last match a thousand weeks ago, I'll have him fly her spoiled ass back to South Africa in one of those old small planes that Amelia Earhart or JFK Jr. crashed and died in. Only difference is that my rookie pilot is better than those two so he won't crash the plane. At least I hope not.
While that happens, Marisa and I will fly in a PanAm exclusive charter planes, complete with luxury and taste.
Marisa has beaten Rosie and Irina. Everyone thought those two would teach Marisa a lesson. I love a good laugh when I read comments like that, but guess what? The joke was on THEM.
If Marisa can get by someone as lethal as Rosie, what makes anyone think that someone like Candice is going to return the favor to Marisa? I know, it happened last year, but accidents happen.
Like I said many weeks ago, if Marisa loses again this year, I will turn in my commercial license to fly my planes over to National. That's how confident I am about Marisa.
By the way, in Candice's last clip where she's flirting and it made yo fell that you were in heaven, guess what? I wasn't seduced at all. In fact, in Candice's videos, that's someone who's showing FAKE confidence.

Now, I don't know the names of all of the models, but the ones I do know appeared in the order that you said they did. And it really helped that you timed all of the segments, like 18th Floor said. I saw the fourth segment because of the big names that started it off. I smiled when I saw Klum, because we all know she will be in this contest next year. A little preview of what's to come from her. I was also happy to see Rosie go out after her. Imagine what it would be like if those two face each other in the future.
I knew someone was going to put my list of models to the test. It's a pretty neat feeling to know that I was deadly accurate with that type of information. When it comes to models, I know what I'm doing. I'm very fascinated with models because they don't look like the typical woman. Models are treated differently and being around them gives out the feeling that your lifestyle has been upgraded.
I'm very fascinated with the way they look, dress and act. Everything about them is just different and not of the ordinary. More so than with actresses, in the line of work that models do, if they want to make a million dollars, they have to look like a million dollars. If there are any group of women in the world who are worth top dollars, models are the way to go.
That's how I feel.

It's a good thing you mentioned the fourth segment of that show and it was a good thing you mentioned Heidi Klum. Heidi vs. Rosie would be a classic encounter, but let's not get too ahead of ourselves. For one thing, if there was anyone who Heidi is rooting for in the Finals, it's Marisa Miller. I say this with a lot of certainty because when it comes to models, I know what I'm talking about. Marisa refers to Heidi as her big sister while Klum refers to Miller as her little sister. She loves Candice, but with a gun put to her head, she's picking Miller.
The other thing I really wanted to get at about that segment of the show is notice how when Heidi comes out, she gets the loudest ovation and how all the other models in that segment didn't get that ovation. It was as if they were overlooked. And that segment had CANDICE SWANEPOEL in there. To be fair, that was back at a time when Candice was not as well known as she is today. To see Heidi get that warm reception goes back to what I said last week when I unveiled her in the Draft. It tells us that she is a legend in this field of work. Both Candice and Miller are the Official Symbols of their classes. But if they're anyone who they'll answer to (other than myself) it's Heidi Klum. Candice and Marisa are the General Managers, so to speak, while Heidi is the Board of Directors. I mean, she hosted that show, didn't she?

Marisa is making a late push to become champion. That PanAm guy is funny. How can you say that Candice is a little girl? If there was ever a goddess, you better believe it's Candice.
By the way, National, that was a great piece you did on Ferragamo. Being that this is the finals, that was the appropriate time to give a little bio on his life. Now I know just a little more about him. It was very informative. Thanks for the piece.
The moment of truth is almost here. I can't believe we're actually going to put an end to this season. I will miss this so much when it's over.

One more pretend commercial before we officially decide who the champion will be. The last two commercials featured either Marisa or Candice. But just like the first commercial back in the first round, this will be me talking.
--
She had visions of it when she was a little girl. She promised it on Draft Day. This is why she competes in this contest through the ups and downs. She competes no matter what. She becomes a Fashionista when she's in this contest. But she would rather slip her feet in to don the newest edition of the Salvatore Ferragamo. Why? Because she becomes more than a Fashionista. She becomes ... a Legend.

In the voice of Chris Jericho: CANDICE WON, BABAAAAAAAAAAAY! YEAH!
YEAH, YEAH!
In the voice of Ric Flair after winning the 1992 Royal Rumble: Tonight has been the greatest night of my life. WOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Candice has been my vote since the season began. From start to finish, Candice has been my sweetheart, my darling, and now my champion. This is sweet. So SWEET.
Candice is on top of the WORLD. If you showed just one picture of Candice's face, like this one http://www.imagebam.com/image/2f7b71198398324 , that picture is better than any one of Marisa's pictures. Now if you include the feet, Marisa was not going to match up.
Someone made a comment earlier about Barbie wanting to be like Candice and look like Candice. I agree. Candice Swanepoel's feet are so hot, my popsicles are melting in my freezer!
What a great day this will be for me and for everyone who's a Candice fan.
Good night, everyone.

Towards the end of Candice's second to last video, she said, "Tell me that you love me" so seductively like a fucking porn star would. WOW! I was wacking off to that video and when she said that, that's when I finally came. It was like she was whispering in my ear.
The lovely Candice with the lovely feet. Even though she wasn't my number one choice when the season started, I'm happy with joy to see her win the whole thing for a second time.
Swanepoel has been incredible. Our first two time champion. One of my favorite things about this contest is to read National's closing monologue. I can't wait for him to come in here and give us his take on what happened. National has a way with words and he puts things in perspective that other people didn't originally see. He's gonna run out of adjectives to describe what has just happened. I'm happy for Candice and I'm very happy for National for introducing us to her back at a time when none of us really knew who she was. I know National is happiest about this win being that he choose her as the go-to lady of the NFC, the official symbol.
For Marisa, wow! I don't know what to say about her. I didn't vote for her to win this match, but still......
I know National will come up with words to describe Marisa's failure to win in back to back years.
Just wow. Like I said, I'm at a loss for words for Miller.
But for Candice, congrats!

My congrats goes out to Candice Swanepoel for being the most successful girl this year. I'm happy to have her as champion.
National, I appreciate the work that you have done for the celebrity foot fetish community. You have made that community popular and more widespread than it ever was.
I don't what PanAm was talking about, but Candice is fucking beautiful. What she showed was REAL confidence. You can't be confident and flirt the way she did in her last video, which, by the way, was an EXCELLENT video, National. I really think that video sealed the deal for Candice. I really do because it was that good for a video that didn't feature feet.
Candice will be flying in that private jet with National tonight. Probably to some private location where she will use her feet to manipulate his private location.
Anyway, GREAT stuff, National. You will always be the man when it comes to this stuff.

My God. I don't think Marisa has ever lost by that much before. Marisa made it interesting towards the end with a few hours to go, but Candice just got away from her for good.
The AFC representative got beat, plain and simple. I mean, I'm looking at the results and I can't believe that Miller would lose by this much! It feels so unreal, yet the reality shows otherwise.
Well, I guess PanAm better be a man of his words. I want to see him come in here and turn his licence in to National. I guess that means he can't talk about Marisa Miller anymore.

I agree. Those pictures got her off to a real fast start. But I also feel that that video clinched the championship for her.
You know, that video was so erotic. I love the part where the camera was that close to her lips and it stayed there for a few seconds. It was daring you to kiss it. That video is classic, I must say.
Those pictures are classic as well. We got to see how great Candice's feet are and I bet they taste like caramel. Candice came into the playoffs as the most prepared girl. She had the best pictures and videos at her disposal.
I'm glad to be a witness to history, as Candice becomes our repeat champion.
Thanks, National, for what has been a real sensational season. It will certainly be one that I will never forget. Your job here is almost done. All that's left is for you to give your final goodbyes and your final thoughts and then you're outta here.
Thanks for everything, especially with that wonderful read about Salvatore Ferragamo. Reading that gives you a greater appreciation who what he has done to the shoemaking industry.
Now I'm going to watch the fashion show again. This time I'll watch the segments with Candice in it.
Let the celebration begin!

I come to you folks today as a beaten man. Candice Swanepoel was the better girl with the better feet again. I look back at the comments I made yesterday about Candice and I am ashamed of myself. I shouldn't have said those things about someone who has never bothered anyone before. And here I was bothering her.
I don't regret saying the things I said about anyone else, ESPECIALLY Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. However, I apologize to Candice. I broke protocol procedures by acting classless on someone who is all about class. I should've known better than that.
And now, as promised, the captain has to be a man of his words. I am going to turn in my licence to fly planes to National. I really had zero reason to believe that Marisa was going to lose another match this year after losing her first one in her rematch against Rosie in the middle of the season. Marisa has always been unstoppable and I really thought that this year she was going to realize her potential.
I don't know if this will be my last post in this forum. It could be. I will always be a huge supporter and fan of Marisa Miller no matter what. I hope that the best will come her way as soon as next year when she finally wins her first championship. If I'm not there to witness it, I'll be there in spirit.
Congratulations to Candice for being more mature than I was by ignoring my comments from yesterday and rising above the hate. I looked at her pictures and videos and the things I said were uncalled for. Candice is very beautiful and very angelic.
quote:Originally posted by Lust In Translation: Towards the end of Candice's second to last video, she said, "Tell me that you love me" so seductively.
I love you, Candice.
I love Candice, too.
I want to thank National for seeing Marisa as the only logical choice as the official symbol of the AFC. Since then, she has done everything right except for winning the biggest prize. I also want to thank you for showing that clip a several weeks ago where you had that sexy stewardess showing her feet in the cockpit of that plane. It reminded me of the fantasies I have of Marisa Miller. Thank you for going out of your way to find that clip. I'll never forget that.
But this is more about Candice. She is the champion and all the glory should be placed on her.
This is your Captain signing out.

I would've preferred to see Audrina win it all. But I have to give credit to where it's due. Candice has won this contest again, beating Audrina in the process of getting to where we are now. Candice Swanepoel is a queen among goddesses. She gets a round of applause from me. I tip my hat off to her the way a gentleman would do in the presence of such a wonderful lady.

The National Fashionistas season has officially come to an end. Our final match of the year has been the Finals Classic. That was an event where the winner is declared champion and deemed to be above all else, with no other standing in the way.
Over the years, the Finals Classic has crowned champions who were able to stay relevant in the years that followed. However successful, these women were never able to capitalize on their fortunes to seek greater rewards by capturing another world championship. That goes for the women who lost in the Finals Classic. With the exception of Marisa Miller, no woman who has ever lost in the Finals Classic has ever found her way back into The Finals.
The Finals Classic is a truly historic event of monumental proportions. The prize of winning the championship is a golden honor that can never be taken away from you, as those memories will last a lifetime and the generations that follow that. An opportunity like this may never come again for a particular girl, which is why a win under such conditions where legacies are at stake must be enjoyed and celebrated as if there is really no tomorrow ... because for many, that day may never arrive again.
What we have before us is a woman who has lived up to the definition of champion in ways that no other woman has had. What we have before us is an essential-extravagant Art of Luxury who is officially head and shoulders above anyone else. Her name is Candice Swanepoel, and she has been sold to the highest bidder. Swanepoel has officially separated herself from the rest of the field. You give me the name of a girl and I'll show you someone who has achieved more in two years than what any other has achieved in her lifetime at the Fashionistas.
Swanepoel has entered this season as the defending champion, as someone who was already on top. The only thing better than being on top, is by going OVER the top. By becoming the first woman in History to win the Salvatore Ferragamo twice, Candice Swanepoel has done just that.
How Candice has been able to successfully defend her title is an act we have seen time and time again from her. This act consists of Swanepoel making her wins look pain free and with such calm and relaxation all under the same breath. I've said the same about Marisa Miller just last week. But with Candice, even more so. More fascinating than that is that when she talks, you always get the sense that everything is going to be just fine. She doesn't have the fiery tone in her speech that a coach will use to pump up a team before a big game. Marisa Miller has that spark plug in her. Candice has a demeanor that slows everything down and places you in a meditative state. Listening to her talk, admiring her distinct accent tells you that all her matches will be smooth sailing from here on end. She can take the most complicated topic of discussion and explain it in a way that makes you understand it all the better. She is so silk and smooth when she talks, that many people have a hard time imagining what it would sound like to get into a shouting match with her because many people think she never does.
Candice Swanepoel means everything to this contest. The Official Symbol of the NFC and World Champion all over again.
Here's a look back at the season Candice had this year.
Regular Season:
FEBRUARY W1 -- Audrina Patridge - WIN W2 -- Ashley Tisdale - LOSS W3 -- Emmanuelle Chriqui - WIN W4 -- Eva Mendes - WIN
MARCH W5 -- Victoria Justice - WIN W6 -- Anna Kournikova - WIN W7 -- Katy Perry - WIN W8 -- ////////
MAY W9 -- Stacy Keibler - WIN W10 -- Megan Fox - LOSS W11 -- Kim Kardashian - WIN W12 -- Nikki Reed - WIN
JUNE W13 -- Jessica Lowndes - WIN W14 -- Anna Kournikova - WIN W15 -- Carmen Electra - WIN W16 -- Megan Fox - WIN W17 -- Emmanuelle Chriqui - WIN
PLAYOFFS: Divisional Class -- Audrina Patridge - WIN Class Championship -- Kate Upton - WIN
Finals Classic -- Marisa Miller - WIN ----
A HISTORY LESSON, THEN THE CORONATION OF THE SALVATORE FERRAGAMOS Salvatore is regarded as the most legendary shoemaker of all time, becoming the inspiration for other famous shoe designer to master their practice of giving the most accentuate recognition to the art and amazement of women's feet. He made shoes for movie stars such as Joan Crawford and Gloria Swanson, as well as for films such as Cecil B. DeMille's The Ten Commandments.
Ferragamo was always recognized as a visionary, and his designs ranged from the strikingly bizarre objet d'art to the traditionally elegant, often serving as the main inspiration to other footwear designers of his time and beyond.
The world's most renowned shoe artist opened up his first store in 1927 over in Florence, Italy. That place houses the company's flagship store and museum. Since then, throughout its history, the company has been known for innovative designs and use of materials. Such ingenuity goes back to Salvatore's time in California, when he studied anatomy to make shoes which were more comfortable. Notable innovations include the wedge heel, the shell-shaped sole, the ‘invisible’ sandal, metal heels and soles, the 18-carat gold sandal, the sock-shoe, sculpture heels, and the gloved arch shoe created for the Maharani of Cooch Behar in 1938.Metal-reinforced stiletto heels were made famous by Marilyn Monroe. The company is also known for the ‘Gancino’ decoration, the ‘Vara’ patent ballet pump, the Salvatore bag and the use of patchwork.
Salvatore worked with film stars and celebrities from his earliest days in Hollywood. Clients over the years included Audrey Hepburn, Sophia Loren and Greta Garbo, as well as Andy Warhol and Diana, Princess of Wales. The company made Margaret Thatcher's famous handbags and for King Jigme Khesar Namgyal Wangchuck during the coronation on November 6, 2008 in Thimpu, Bhutan.
The National Fashionistas pays homage to what he means to the appreciation that embodies the female foot. The Fashionistas has brought his legacy to the people of this forum so they can become familiar to who he was.
With the photographers flashing their camera, blinding the room with flashbulbs, with the world watching, Swanepoel slips in the newest edition of the Salvatore Ferragamos. Her quest has been realized, her challenges overcome. As she now walks in them to the delight of many onlookers and many envious women, Candice now has the world bowed down at her feet, ready to be at her service.
----
Even though Candice has tied Finals Classic history for the largest margin of victory, she does own the record for the most votes registered in a Finals Classic win. This year also makes Candice the first woman to defeat her opponents in the playoffs where her opponents averaged more wins than she did in the regular season.
Marisa Miller has been the essence of the AFC and the true embodiment of what that class is about. Like I said last week, even if she loses this match, every contribution she has shared with us, and the wins she has stacked up to do everything anyone can possibly do other than slip her feet into the Ferragamos, I have her classified as a first-ballot Hall of Famer.
For an all-time great, this loss is heartbreaking and a bit embarrassing. Marisa makes her way to the backstage after such a heart-wrenching loss. As she does so, that walk is going to take a lot longer than the walk she took on the runway at that Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. None of this will actually sink in for Marisa until she wakes up the following morning and realizes that this was not a dream for her. That's because Candice made her own dream into reality.
----
All in all, I have to say that this has been my greatest year as the Visionary behind the genius that became the National Fashionistas. This has been my proudest year and for the first time, I feel that I have completed the whole season without anything to regret in terms of how I organized every week worth of matches, how I organized the photos in every woman's galleries, and how the results of these matches turned out overall. There was no feelings of how I should've done this better or how I should've done that better. I think I did everything I was meant to do.
Over the course of history in this contest, I have had the pleasure of bringing everyone in here the best form of entertainment when it comes to famous women and their feet. The very first match in Fashionistas' history was Jessica Alba vs. Mayra Veronica. From that moment up until now when Candice Swanepoel defeats Marisa Miller to capture her second championship, times have changed and so have many other things about this contest.
When I first started this contest, I never, ever thought that it would get to this point five years later. Support for this contest was very hard to come by. What saved this contest from extinction was Megan Fox. When she came in to start the second season, the rest was history as she made history. She brought interest to this contest the way Tiger Woods does with golf. Now that Candice is champion again, I finally feel that my work here has been done. I am more proud of Candice winning this contest than I ever was with anyone else. I am finally at peace with myself because Swanepoel has made all of my hard work and preparation worth the time and struggle and dedication.
I am finally at peace.
----
Thanks to everyone for their never-dying support of what I do, thanks to everyone for their words of appreciation, and thanks to everyone for paying their homage to a product that has become a national pastime in this forum. Your love and loyalty to the National Fashionistas is something that will always stay in my heart and something I will always be grateful for.
"Only those who have the patience to do simple things perfectly will acquire the skill to do difficult things easily." That describes Candice Swanepoel in a nutshell.
Here, once again, is the video that has become very popular with the voters this week in what they felt has been the calling card to crown Candice Swanepoel as The National Fashionista.

although i can not express my disappointment for the travesty that has occurred here. i wish i was bill gates rich so i could buy all you candice lovers some glasses so you could all see the mistakes you keep making.
oh well, another season is in the books now. it's time to starting finding some new celebs to train to be come swanopoel killers.
all complaints aside National, as typical, you've done a tremendous job organizing and running the contest. my hat's off to you sir.

I do like your attitude about finding new celebs to train to take Candice's spot. Because if she's not there to win the championship, then she's there for the wrong reasons. However, there's no disappointment to express here because no travesty has occurred. Besides, the only things that should do the talking are Candice's championships. So don't hate. Celebrate!
Speaking of that, I'll be at Candice's ticker tape parade that'll be held later today.
