National Fashionistas -- Week 2. Foot Fetish Hollywood, Vogue and Glamour.
Our journey with famous women continue as we kick off our second week with another installment of drama and intrigue. Actresses and Models are all within the confines our dreams and desires. In this contest, we delve into that euphoria that leaves us feeling even closer to them.
Before we get started with anything, let's remind people who how these women stand going into this week.
THE STANDINGS
(The first number next to each name is for the number of wins. The second number stands for her losses. The third is for the number of ties. The last number is her winning percentage.)
These next two women could be the topic of an interesting discussion this week mainly because their pictures were taken under the same settings and conditions. A lot of models, before they become household names, undergo this routine where they have pictures taken in their bras and panties and lingerie and pose as if they they were to appear in some JCPenny catalogue. These images are timeless pieces in that people will go back to them many years later and know how innocent they looked before making a big splash for themselves. Other than Brooklyn Decker's first set of pictures, the other galleries between herself and Candice Swanepoel were shot by the same group of people.
YOUTUBE -- These next two clips are not overly sexy, so don't expect to see swimsuits or anything that will get you overly excited. Instead, these next two clips are sort of introductions as to who they are. For Brooklyn, you get to know what her taste in style is like. For Candice, it's a typical video telling who she is and what she's famous for. These two videos are very useful for anyone who is not too familiar with either one of them. Again, I must warn everyone that these are NOT foot related videos.
NOTE -- I must say that whoever was in charge of photoshopping these images of Irina must've been someone who has never handled that software before. We all know that a little touch up here and there is done to these women before they appear for publishing, consumed by the masses and media. However, in this case, the person has overdone it. As you'll see in the video -- which showed behind-the-scene footage of that exact photoshoot -- Irina needed no favors from the airbrushing. The Shoe Department images are more proof of that.
JENNIFER HAWKINS -- From Australia, she is known as the Thunder from Down Under. She is in her first year of this competition. She generating a lot of votes in a losing effort last week, pushing Heidi Klum to the very limit. Hawkins was one of my candidates in becoming the Official Symbol of the NFC to rival Marisa Miller in the AFC. At the time, I didn't think her fame and status would generate a lot of interest in the United States within a considerable amount of time, and a lot of guys in the States are still not too familiar with who she is. I decided to hand Candice Swanepoel the label of being the leader of the NFC instead at a time when she was an unknown, a move which has paid dividends for me. In her rookie season, let's see how she fares out.
JESSICA ALBA -- Jessica Alba is still a favorite by many supporters here. She is the only female in Fashionistas' history to make the playoffs in each of her first four seasons. She is one of three women who have participated in this contest in every year since its beginning. Other than her poor showing last season, she has been quite consistent in her winning ways. Usually when there's doubt about her making the playoffs, she always finds a way to come through and persevere the challenges and obstacles, which explains why she's a mainstay attraction in this contest.
MILA KUNIS -- Mila Kunis is in her second year of this contest. The announcement that she was going to take part of the Fashionistas was met with overjoy, accompanied by what seemed like a parade full of confetti, awaiting for their uncrowned savior to make things happen and have championships won. Mila is a person and a personality who adds a stoic ether to her immediate surroundings to this contest because her sexual appeal can be described as just that. That makes her threatening delicious.
**It's worth reminding that you should check out Nusuth's website which also features some pretty nice pictures of celebrities, including those who are not in this contest. http://www.celebrityfeet4.us/ **
Since this contest is in memory and in dedication to Salvatore Ferragamo, it would be a nice added touch to add the media outlet that is fashion related, inspired from his ideas from Hollywood's Golden Era to the present day chic.

Once again, great work and excellent organization skills to come through with another great week of matches, photos, and videos. With everything you can ever ask for under one roof, this is truly the one and only place in this forum to go for celebrity feet. Speaking of that, I wonder what happened to Nusuth last week? I thought he would come in by the end of the week as he usually does to drop comments.
It's time for AnnaLynne to get going here before it becomes too late. For the first time, I feel like McCord's chances of making the playoffs are in jeopardy because of the caliber of women involved in her division. I remember praising Heidi Klum when we all found out last year that she would be in this this year. Now she's in AnnaLynne's way. Jennifer Hawkins looks amazing and her feet are very promising to go very far in this contest. I had to vote for Mila Kunis just to protect McCord. If it weren't for the fact that Hawkins was in McCord's division, I would've voted for her over Mila. Many people may not like that approach, but sometimes you have to do things against your own will for survival. In a season in where each girl has 16 matches, each match is very precious. If each girl had 50 matches in a season, for example, I would vote for Hawkins because there would be a long way to go for 50. Instead, we have 16.
Kate Upton continues to make us melt. These pictures of Kate Upton are worth GOLD. These will certainly be classics for her. Her soles so close to my face when I click that picture puts me in heaven! National's coverage on a history lesson on the Swimsuit Issue made me go out and buy a copy for myself, and may I thank National for bringing this to the main spotlight last week. It is worth the purchase and these pictures of Kate's soles are pure heaven!
And we have ourselves quite a main event for the week. Marisa against Tisdale. Everything about this contest is the most credible about celebs' feet.

Alba vs. Clancy. First off, I'm very pleased and excited with the fact that Alba won last week. After such a terrible season last year, getting a win in Week 1 is a step in the right direction. Now against Clancy, there's a good chance Alba wins this one as well. I love Clancy's candid, though. But I feel that Alba will pull this one through.
Jenny vs. Nina. I'm disappointed but not surprised that Nina lost last week. I can't stand Jenny McCarthy, almost to the point that I hate her. I've never liked Carmen Electra, but with Carmen I won't go as far as to say that I hate her. I've voted for her sometimes, but I don't see myself ever voting for this girl. Plus, Nina looks like Emmanuelle Chriqui, her feet are not bad as well. Nina gets my vote.
Lowndes vs. Longoria. This is a very fair match for the two of them. Lowndes is slowly making herself a HUGE threat in the AFC with those great feet of hers. One won't find flaws in them, as they are one of the best in Hollywood. Longoria has done pretty well for herself over the years here. I pick Lowndes to win this very well contested match.
Carmen vs Stacy. I have Stacy's feet over Carmen's feet in this match. I personally enjoyed seeing Carmen suffer the way she did last year. Perhaps National just wants to give her ONE more shot to see if she still has it and turns it around this year. Her division is very hard to predict who's going to win it. I think I'm pulling for Stacy to win it, although I won't be mad or disappointed to see Lowndes win it. But that division is unpredictable.
I REALLY enjoyed seeing Marisa get her ass beat. Or rather in this case, her feet beat. I think is going to take over Marisa's spot as to top girl in the AFC. She's in a good match this week against Maria Menounos. To see Maria ahead of Miller in the standings is so great and funny. But Bar Refaeli is SO FUCKIN' GORGEOUS, her feet must taste like super when they're in your mouth. My pick goes to Refaeli.
And Oliva faces Rosie. I smiled when I saw this match because there's a very good likelihood that Alba is going to finish this week all to herself in first place of her division. When you look at it, Wilde has a better chance to lose this week than Alba does. Even if Alba loses, it doesn't look like Selena Gomez will win her match, I want Nina to win, but that's a tough match to predict. Evan a Nina win won't put her ahead of Alba. And I don't see how Rosie is going to lose to this one.

Great analysis from foot foot_fashion_industry. Some interesting matches this week. I particularly like the Megan Fox/Irina Shayk battle. It's a match I don't think we've ever seen before and it's a match I intend to watch very closely. I voted for Irina in this one. I read what National had to say in regards to Irina before clicking on her link. And I have to say that he's right. Sometimes you figure that people will have to stop photoshopping when so many people complain about it. But I understand that it's part of the business. But whoever was in charge of those should've been fired. What an injustice to Irina! Thanks for providing that video link and those other pictures of her to refresh us just how stunning she really is.
Speaking of photoshopping, let's talk about how none of it was done in those pictures of Candice Swanepoel and Brooklyn Decker. Those pictures was absolutely sensational! Those sets is what really makes this match more meaningful. It's like looking at rare pictures of them before they were stars. It's pretty neat and it feels like you're looking at something quite special.
That's a real good match, too. I've decided to give the vote to Decker this week.
I also feel that Rosie will beat Olivia this week, although Olivia's pictures last week were quite something to look at. One of the best I've seen out of her. This week, she still looks great and I love how she puts her best foot forward in these pictures. I think Rosie has better feet. Besides, Rosie is in a very competitive division. She has to keep up.

And that's a fact. This contest is so amazing. No reason for me to go anywhere else.

Now for my take on the NFC matches this week.
Aniston vs. Maggie Grace. I was pleasantly surprised to see Maggie win last week over Katy Perry. I thought her lack of star power was going to cost her the win over Katy. Her win certainly adds interest in her division and some interest in her feet. As much as I vote for Aniston as often as I can, I went with Maggie's feet over Aniston's. Hope Maggie continues to do well.
McCord vs. Katy Perry. For the life of me, I can't figure out what anyone sees in McCord's feet. 18th Floor has reason to worry about McCord making the playoffs because I feel the same way he does in terms of McCord being looked over because of the other three girls in her division. However, I'm going to enjoy seeing AnnaLynne go down.
Upton vs. Petra. I was disappointed to see Petra lose last week. Now she has no shot at a win this week against Kate Upton. I feel that Petra has the better feet over Upton. I've always like Petra and I want to see her do well. But her lack of star power is going to come back to haunt her this week. I voted for Nemcova, but it will surprise no one to see Upton win. Not that I dislike Kate. In fact, I vote for her as often as I can. This week, however, I prefer Petra's feet. Kate being the cover girl for the Swimsuit Issue should tell you something. It should tell you that she's the odds-on favorite to win the whole thing this year, especially considering how dominant she was last year.
I feel sorry for Petra because she's in a division with Megan Fox, a consistent winner; Brooklyn Decker, a very popular model who's expected to be a big-time player for years to come; and the 2-time defending champion, Candice. This is going to be overwhelming for Nemcova, who was a swimsuit covergirl herself at one time.
Hawkins vs. Kunis. Very interesting match. Very interesting. I'm voted for Hawkins. Not only does she look totally amazing, but her feet are seriously HOT! Like National said in that little piece on Hawkins before you click on her link of pictures, she was quite impressive for someone who lost in her first match against Heidi Klum. That impressed me, too.
I don't think Mila is going to win her division. That belongs to Kate and that should be a foregone conclusion. Tisdale might have something to say about that because of reputation as being a dark horse of this contest. But if I were Upton, I wouldn't worry about Kunis. For Kunis, she needs to be a wild card and hope someone else knocks off Upton. Then Mila can get to the finals without Upton being in the way.
Audrina vs. Justice. I really don't know what to make of Audrina. She's done incredibly well for someone who's not that well known like any of the other three girls in her division. This is a VERY good match. The only thing in Audrina's way of winning her division is Victoria. I don't think Kristen Stewart is going to be a factor AT ALL. Katy Perry might not have a good year, in my opinion. It would surprise me to see Victoria win that division, but I think she REALLY deserves it. With Audrina, I don't mind if she wins her division and I would hope for the best once she's in the playoffs. I think Victoria will have a great year, and she needs to win this match to prove that her feet has worth. Otherwise, Audrina will have that division on lockdown.
And finally, I love both Candice and Brooklyn. Great to see these two facing each other this early in the season. I pick goes to Candice.

Once again, great organization skills in putting this together. I really echo what 18th Floor said about this being the best place to go to get your fix for feet of the famous. The women are here, the matches, the photos are all here to drool to and be really excited about. It's great to see entire sets of pictures of each celeb at a particular event or photo shoot. One picture of a girl is not enough for us anymore. I love it that we get the entire value meal when it comes to pics.
That Candice Swanepoel deal is just sweet, MY GOD! I enjoyed looking through those pictures greatly. Especially the one where she wearing the nylon in those sexy black heels: http://www.imagebam.com/image/47901b238020773#
Kudos to National for cater to our needs with all these pictures.
I hope Victoria does well as well, as she's my favorite in this whole thing. I don't remember ever seeing her beat Audrina in a match where people thought her feet were better than Audrina's. Audrina, never looking bad herself, looks pretty amazing in those pictures, sizing up all the different dresses and skirts. That's one of the best I've seen from her, and those pictures will assist her very, very well. I like Victoria's win last week, but now this is serious.

Great matchups. I've been extremely impressed with Kristen Stewart. She lost last week and is in tough against Kim Kardasian this week but I definatly got a thing for her feet. Splendid job as always with the pictures, profiles and presentation of this long standing staple of an Event that makes this site a better placw National.
Kim Kardashian against Kirsten Stewart. That was a real tough loss for Kim last week. She's in a division that is unpredictable, just like some of the others. Anyone can make a case for any of the girls in Kim's division to win it and make the playoffs. If this was years ago when Kim was an automatic favorite to win just about any match, this would be an annihilation on Kim's part. Since she won the championship, I guess she felt that she had nothing more to prove. I still believe that Kristen will not play a part in her division with Audrina. Stewart is one of those 'love her or hate her' type of women. I pick Kim this week. Her Shoe Department pictures are truly outstanding and seeing her drink that Midori beverage makes me want to go out and get some alcohol for myself. And seeing her lips on the drink is luscious. I love seeing the lipstick on Kim.
Next we have Gomez against Klum. I guess we're here to see how Selena's season last year was a joke. It will be highlighted by a loss to Klum. Seeing Heidi in those pictures really got me going. Sexy style, sexy poses, love her feet and the shoes she has on. Really makes you so happy that you have a foot fetish. It's entirely possible that Alba will be in first all to herself when the week is over. Damn, I'm loving this year WAY more than I did last year, and we're only in Week 2! It was so depressing last year to see Alba start the season 0-4. If she starts this season 4-0, then she will mean business.
This next match between Irina and Megan is VERY GOOD. This is really what AFC vs. NFC is all about. It's about seeing the best from opposing conferences face each other in a once-in-a-lifetime treat. Although I don't vote for Megan often, I can clearly understand why this is a great match that will be a treat for all of us, and why this contest is the best of its kind. I'm not that big of an Irina fan, either, but I vote for her WAY more than I do with Megan. I'll stick with Irina and her feet. Besides, I picked Irina to win her division with relative ease. And her domination starts now.

The Classic of the Week is one of the great showdowns we have this week. Someone who no one expected to start the season 0-2 is going to start the season 0-2, which makes that match between Miller and Tisdale all the more exciting to watch. However, that match is in danger of getting way out of Tisdale's reach. Marisa Miller, being the girl of the AFC is not going to start the season 0-2 and I voted for her this week. She is PISSED after losing last week and she wants to show Bar that her time for revenge is coming. Boy, will that be an intense rivalry. And if you throw Rosie into the mix, we have ourselves an even bigger rivalry between the THREE of them. I think Tisdale has met a match that is finally too big for her.

JENNIFER HAWKINS -- From Australia, she is known as the Thunder from Down Under. She is in her first year of this competition. She generating a lot of votes in a losing effort last week, pushing Heidi Klum to the very limit. Hawkins was one of my candidates in becoming the Official Symbol of the NFC to rival Marisa Miller in the AFC.
Interesting. You had a few women in mind who could fulfill that duty of being the official symbol of the NFC. That's valuable information you just shared with us. It feels so good to know that for some reason. Probably because I never thought that you had to narrow a list down before you gave that title to Candice. Was there anyone else you thought of giving that official symbol title to? Imagine that, Jennifer Hawkins would've been the face of the NFC. Knowing that just might raise her stock in this contest.

Other than Jessica Alba winning last week, seeing Marisa lose was another thing that made my week worth remembering. Now she faces a very unpredictable Ashley Tisdale. I picked against her last week and I wasn't surprised to see her lose. Besides, Tisdale's history in this contest will tell you that she is just o.k. against mediocre opponents or those who are the mid-carders. It's against the heavyweights of the contest where she makes her mark. These are the type of matches Tisdale THRIVES for. Things are not looking well for Tisdale at the moment. I certainly hope to see her get through this and beat Marisa. I have no idea what I would do if Marisa does in fact lose. All I know is that I don't feel that Marisa would win the division from an 0-2 record in a division where you have Rosie and Refaeli. As long as those two are there, there's NO WAY Marisa is going to pass them in the standings if she loses this week.
My pick is Tisdale. Posts: 308 | Registered: Dec 2008

Was there anyone else you thought of giving that official symbol title to? Imagine that, Jennifer Hawkins would've been the face of the NFC. Knowing that just might raise her stock in this contest.
To answer your question, there was one other girl who I thought about making the Official Symbol of the NFC. It was Petra Němcová. Petra was first on my mind. I thought about putting in this contest for a few years now and changed my mind on her probably because I didn't think she was ready. So I had my eye on her for a long time. WAY before I knew about Candice. In fact, I was this close from making the announcement that she was going to be the NFCs answer to Marisa Miller a few years back. Then I back out of it the last minute. Something about her that didn't convince me that would captivate the audience. I tried to convince myself to promote her, but I couldn't do it. Besides, I didn't want any Official Symbol to have small tattoos on her foot.
Marisa Miller was an obvious choice for me for the AFC, but I needed someone who had a very different style and personality to her than Marisa who is too American Pie, whatever that means. What I knew for certain was that it wasn't going to be anyone who was already in the contest. I knew that to find that girl, I had to look outside my contest. And I knew I wanted that girl to be a model. I was in no rush to look for girl who would wind up as the Symbol of the NFC.
Then I thought of Hawkins. She seemed just as Australian as Marisa is American. I thought about her for a while, then decided to go back to the drawing board.
It was a very, very long time before I can across Candice Swanepeol. Looking back on it, I don't remember how I first heard about this girl. I immediately fell in love with this woman. Her look, the voice, the accent, all swan-like and a demeanor that glides as smooth as silk. I knew immediately that this was the girl who is perfect to represent the NFC, a model who is so different than what Marisa stands for. And this was months before I made the announcement public.
I learned just a tiny bit about her because at the time, virtually no one knew who she was. But I knew she was going to be a superstar one day and become someone quite special before all is said and done.

Irina Shayk over Megan Fox any day of the week. Her photos did bother me a bit for the same reasons National pointed out. But to show the video to go with those photos balanced it out because at least whoever did photoshop those pictures didn't do anything much about her waistline to make her look anorexic or anything. The video made the pictures look better and it was a nice eye witness account, so to speak, that she doesn't need that she doesn't need to be photoshopped.
I also voted for Tisdale. Her shoes in her first set are just killer hot. Love clicking on pictures just showing her face as well because it's so big and clear that it makes you want to kiss the screen on your laptop or desktop. It's worth mentioning again just hot hot Tisdale's shoes look. The French pedicure goes very well with the color of those shoes and they make her feet look like dessert.
