National Fashionistas -- Week 3. The Music Video Issue.
The National Fashionistas continues its format of coveting entertainment value from the women in the modeling and entertainment industry. This week, it takes the form of music videos.
Being that this week centers around music videos, it's not important that you watch any or all of the videos that are posted at the time you place your votes. If you want to look at them while you place your votes, that's fine. If not, then that's fine as well. It's there for anyone who's interested in seeing them whenever they have the time.
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.)
SHOE SIZES **These measurements are defined by U.S. and Canadian standards.**
AnnaLynne McCord -- 10 Heidi Klum -- 10 Maria Menounos -- 10 Jennifer Hawkins -- 9.5 Audrina Patridge -- 9 Bar Refaeli -- 9 Petra Němcová -- 9 Stacy Keibler -- 9 Abigail Clancy -- 8.5 Brooklyn Decker -- 8.5 Kate Upton -- 8.5 Katy Perry -- 8.5 Maggie Grace -- 8.5 Rosie Huntington-Whiteley -- 8.5 Victoria Justice -- 8.5 Ashley Tisdale -- 8 Jessica Alba -- 8 Nina Dobrev -- 8 Olivia Wilde -- 8 Candice Swanepoel -- 7.5 Jenny McCarthy -- 7.5 Kristen Stewart -- 7.5 Mila Kunis -- 7.5 Selena Gomez -- 7.5 Carmen Electra -- 7 Jessica Lowndes -- 7 Irina Shayk -- 7 Kim Kardashian -- 7 Marisa Miller -- 7 Megan Fox -- 7 Eva Longoria -- 6.5 Jennifer Aniston -- 6.5
----
NOTE: Any videos posted is NOT foot fetish related (except for Kate Upton's), but they're still very nice to look at. The pictures, however, are foot related.
Ashley Tisdale wants to dance, and not in that G-rated, Disney-fied way, either. Sure enough, in this music video, Ash clearly can't wait to get to the club. We see her practicing some sexy moves, seductive looks and various hand-to-hair gestures after watching, I assume, several Britney Spears videos. Fortunately, all that preparation eventually pays off, and she finally makes it onto the dance floor. Of course, considering how crowded the place gets, it's probably a good thing she opted to leave the black angel wings at home.
It's a slick, sexy, and seductive dance floor firecracker that sees Carmen at her hottest. Gliding from propulsive club-ready production into a massive hook carried by her inimitable delivery, the track simply delivers. There's a little grit in there as Carmen's sense of humor comes through on the verses dropping lines about a few different things. The attitude adds a palpable punch that's welcome in today's pop landscape.
Ultimately, you're going to "Like It Loud" too as Carmen has dropped one of the best pop songs in recent memory.
SOUNDS Artist: Carmen Electra ft. Bill Hamel Song: I Like It Loud
This song stirred up some controversy for her. Some fans didn't understand the song's title and were concerned about what exactly the song was meant to convey. Lowndes said that she wrote the song when she was going through a bad break up, and thinks this is something all girls can relate to, blah ... blah ... blah.
Personally, I liked the video.
SOUNDS Artist: Jessica Lowndes Song: I Wish I Was Gay
SHOE DESIGNER SAM EDLEMAN Kate Upton has been tapped by Sam Edelman for their 2013 ads. In the black and white shots, Kate poses in and around the brand's coveted heels -- coveted by Kate, I mean. Sam Edelman and photographer David Lipman saw the 20-year-old wearing Edelman's equestrian-style boots and then got the idea to get in touch with her.
Check out the Old-Hollywood inspired shoot and you must take a look at the video that accompanied the campaign photos.
The entire music video to this song has never been released to the public. However, I have the first minute of that video in here. The rest of the video was packaged together by someone else, filling the rest of that time with various clips of Kim doing various things.
SOUNDS Artist: Kim Kardashian Song: Jam (Turn It Up)
With all of the heat waves that roll through the summer, it's important to apply sunscreen to avoid those nasty burns. But when you're out on the beach or lounging by the pool, it can be hard to remember to reapply. So the next time you're trying to decide between jumping straight off the diving board or taking the extra two minutes to lather up, just channel this song and remember your SPF.
**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.

The Nostalgia in the Electra vs Kardashian matchup is overwhelming and the ever growing "crush" I am developing for Kristen Stewart's feet has reached epic porportions. I think she may be my fave celeberty feet in the moment right now. Should be another fantastic week.

Thanks for coming though again with your work and dedication. Your efforts in putting together this foot contest is second to none. I guess music videos will be the dominant topic for the week, unless Kate Upton can somehow disrupt that because other than those great music videos, Kate's video is really something to see. Kate doing promotional work for those people is news to me. Hopefully, we'll see more work from Kate styling her feet for his brand. I really love her gallery, very organized and neat, with her face as the choice of the last picture.
Some very interesting matches this week and perhaps some must wins for a few of these girls, including my AnnaLynne who's in there against a Kristen Stewart who might be a sleeper of this contest. If she wins this week, then perhaps people need to stop sleeping on her and start paying closer attention.
As usual, so many tings going on in here that I can't just say all of it in one post. I'll say them little by little as we go along this week.

A comment I meant to respond to last week, but forgot to.
quote:Originally posted by foot_fashion_industry: 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.
We do treat it as a once-in-a-lifetime treat because any one girl from the AFC will face off against any girl in the NFC once every four years, unless those two women run into each other in the Finals Classic before then. We're also assuming that the two hypothetical girls in question are good enough to stay in this contest long enough for that to occur. If one of the girls turn out to be a disappointment, then that could very well be the last time you'll see those two women in an AFC vs. NFC showdown. So with the AFC vs NFC matches, really enjoy them while you can. If both women are still good enough to be in this contest by that time, then the next time Megan Fox will face Irina Shayk will be in Season 10, sometime in the year 2017, unless, of course, they face each other in the finals before then.
Speaking of Megan Fox, she's facing Longoria for the first time in four years. As a matter of fact, Eva Longoria was Megan Fox's first-ever opponent. Anyone who knows his history about this contest would tell you that that was the first win in what was to become the most historic campaign anyone would have by going 19-0, a perfect season. The best part about it was that at the time Megan scored her first win, none of us ever expected that Megan would be the one who would pull that off because she was still relatively fresh in Hollywood and none one knew what to expect out of her in this contest.
--
Another interesting note. Stacy Keibler vs. Irina Shayks marks the first time in AFC history that two women who are not in the same division are facing each other for the third year in a row. Jessica Alba vs. Eva Longoria had four different meetings, but those matches were more spread out.
In the NFC, when Audrina faced AnnaLynne McCord back in Week 1, that marked the first time in the history of this entire contest that two non-divisional opponents faced each other four years in a row.
Is it me, or is this the first time that I can remember Selena Gomez looking THIS good? You fucking bet that I'm voting for her this week. Things are not looking good for Marisa, and I'm at a loss for words as to describe what's going on here.
One music video that got my attention was that Jessica Lowndes one. She's something special for this contest and her feet are very hot and can be used as deadly weapons to get her through this season and into the playoffs. When I think of Lowndes, I don't think of her as someone who can sex it up the way she did in that video. She can tie me up anytime!
Audrina is a great test for Jennifer Hawkins. Let's see how she handles that challenge. And Kim Kardashian is looking very, very, very nice in her pictures. She realizes how important it is to get that first win of the year, and Carmen would be a great person to take a stand against.
I'll sit back here and enjoy some more pictures and videos in here.

I agree that this is one of the best I've ever seen Selena look. If she came out with pictures like that every week, with some sexy shoes on that shoes her red or black painted toenails, she would be one of the toughest outs in this contest. When I clicked on her link, I wasn't expecting too much. But when I saw them, I was pleasantly surprised. I love how the first three pictures in her gallery were big compared to the other smaller ones so that you immediately noticed that she is not to be overlooked this week, that her feet might be able to compete against Marisa's. That's what I want to see when I come home from work, her opening the sliding doors like she did in the third picture, then posing for me like that to get me all excited.
And let's not forget about Upton. When I come home from work, it would be great to see her like that as well, with all these different shoes all over the floor and her right in the middle of them. You'll never have a bad day at work if you have that to look forward to once you get home.

That was great to imagine. Looking at that Kate picture, you can see that all the shoes look pretty big and it made me think just how bog those feet of hers were. Thank goodness we have that list to come in handy. National has her listed as an 8 1/2. Those shoes look as if they fit someone with bigger feet than that. But Kate looks so beautiful in those photos, and these demonstrate that she is one of the favorites to win this whole thing.
Selena Gomez is also a part of that great imagery you gave us of finding her looking just the way she does in those photos when we come home from work. I guess they make you have second thoughts to who will win that division. Nina Dobrev definitely got my vote, and that was before I looked at her music video. I didn't know she did a rap song for shits and giggles. I'm telling you, looking at Nina this week definitely added some pop to that division. Alba definitely looks good this week, but I found myself voting for Olivia's feet instead.
Great work, National. This is an excellent theme this week with these music videos making things more enjoyable to watch.

Carmen against Kim is another fun match to watch. Carmen has been coming through with excellent pictures this year, and her first set of pictures illustrates that exactly. This is her signature style. Her second set of pictures looks good as well, especially the closeup of her shoes. AMAZING, SEXY AND WOW!
Now Kim looks amazing as well. I like her first set better than her second one. Aside from her feet, you can't help but look at her cleavage that makes her breasts look so lovely.
People think that Kim song was one of the more annoying ones of all time. Of ALL time! Carmen's video, on the other hand, will never be criticized the way Kim is taking heat for her song. Although I would have to say that had the entire Kim Kardashian, it would've borderline pornography. Not that I'm complaining about it, by the way.
All in all, I never knew up until this week that Carmen had a new music video out there. She hands out with some pretty interesting people in her night life. Very colorful characters.
I picked Nina over Maria this week. It's not too often that you'll see me pick against Nina, but I want to give Nina another chance here. Seeing their pictures make me appreciate once again how good looking Nina's feet are. Not that Maria's aren't, but since I'm forced to pick between those two, I went with Dobrev.
I picked Rosie over Abigail in their match.

Very interesting stat to go along with what you said about Audrina vs. AnnaLynne. What makes this contest so great is that with as long as it's been running, you get enough information with what has happened over the years that you start to make a trivia out of the whole thing. A neat concept about National's contest and why we're such big fans of it dearly.
To get back to that Irina match vs. Stacy, I went with Irina's feet over Stacy's.
With Marisa, I enjoyed looking at the results of last week's matches. It's a pleasure to see Marisa lose. National describes everything perfectly when he gives his closing monologue at the end of the week. That Marisa loss to Tisdale was just unbelievable. I voted for Gomez in this match because I want to see Marisa lose again. However, I think Miller will find a way to snap out of this funk she's in. I think enough has been enough for her and she will snap out of her losing ways. This will be her embarrassing loss if she can't pull away with this one.
Just like everyone else, Selena's pictures that National posted this week was the best I've seen her look. She should take those shoes off and walk around the house barefoot for a little bit. I've never been happier to see Selena than I am this week. Great search on National's part to find these photos from Gomez. This is where the real foot celebrity show is.
Kim against Carmen. I will have to say that I was shocked last week to see Kim lose to Kristen. That must have been an anti Kim vote more than anything else. I remember when Kim used to be so dominant, beating people left and right. That was at a time when everyone would look forward to seeing Kim and Carmen face each other because that was the big match of the week. Now, do I give up on Kim or does Carmen win this match and show signs that she is back to her undefeated ways? I'll give this to Kim. Look at her pictures and you'll see why.
And you guys know who I'll vote for in this Jessica Alba match against a girl who will remain nameless. With a win this week, Jessica Alba will clinch her division. That's how confident I am about this.

Glad to see my old buddy back in these pages of the forum. I remember years back I used to make fun of your favorite girl. Looking back on it, I still stand by how I feel about her, but I think I was a little harsh in how I came across. With that Kristen Stewart quote, I think you might've been loaded with alcohol when you said that, don't you think?
In all seriousness, Kristen might draw some haters if they see that she's doing better than what they had hoped for.

That's an interesting choice for the classic of the week. Heidi has a chance to show some early signs that she can get a hold of that division by beating an Ashley Tisdale who can get a win against practically anyone in this contest. It's unsure if McCord can win, Hawkins is having a tough time getting past Audrina. Maggie Grace seems like the only one in that division who is in control of her match and I voted for her this week over Victoria. She looks absolutely beautiful in those pictures. I like the last picture of just her face because it looks like it was taken by a Polaroid or something. Her making the gesture that she's going to kiss the diamond on her purse is a great touch to end her series of pictures. It was all done in class. Maggie winning this week could change the way people vote in this contest, going by the pictures and not necessarily how popular the person is in pop culture or the media. It's too early to say that as a definite because it could turn out that she'll miss the playoffs because of the competition in her division and in the NFC as a whole.

Mila vs. Petra is a very good match because not a lot of people thought that Mila would start the season 0-2. Petra, who's not that well known, is also 0-2. Petra has the better feet of the two and my vote goes to her. The loser will find herself at 0-3, last place in a very tough division.
This next match was very tough for me to pick. Victoria's shoes look awesome. Maggie Grace gets my vote, however.
I didn't like having to vote for this next match because I don't like Kristen or AnnaLynne. I'll have to vote for McCord by default. In the next match, I had to think about this one for a while, too. Brooklyn against Kate Upton. This is a dream match for me and I'm excited to see it finally take place in this contest. Looking at what Kate had to advertise in her photos, looking at her video, she's definitely for the cause. Kate Upton is simply amazing. My biggest fear about Kate is that she'll end up being one of those contestants who does so well in the regular season, then fails in front of everyone in the playoffs.
I voted for Jennifer Hawkins in her match against Audrina. It won't surprise me to see Audrina win, though.

Some of these matches have taken on a new spin here. At one time, Jennifer Aniston had a pretty good lead over Bar. Now it's the other way around. For a minute there I thought Bar would have to struggle to catch up with Aniston. Now, Bar has gotten a hold of herself and she's right back to taking care of business like it's just another day at the office. Bar is such a great add to this contest because we are having a chance to see what she can do. In years past, I bet someone in here wondered what it would've been like to have Refaeli in this contest and how she would handle the competition. I was blown away that she was able to catch up to Aniston all of a sudden AND take a pretty sizable lead at the same time.
Candice was another one who was struggling against McCarthy. Candice is not wearing shoes that show much of her feet this week, but people are still mesmerized by them. I think that Candice's pictures from the last two weeks are still very, very fresh in people's minds. I can still remember them myself and they are among my favorite sets I've come across.
Maggie Grace once had a pretty good lead. Victoria was catching up to her and has made the match a lot closer not too long ago before I came in here to write the message you're reading right now. It seems like Maggie has gotten back some of that lead. But to see Victoria storm back the way she did was an amazing thing to see happen.
What an incredible contest!
