THE VIDEO
This video by designer Brian Atwood is gorgeous, edgy, and we figure that Candice Swanepoel is the one playing the voyeur. The real question is does it really matter when we're catching glimpses of her bare ass and her writhing about on top of and around nude guys and watching porno?
Swanepoel is certainly an 'it' girl. Whatever IT is, she has it! This piece is very much the departure from the bright, cutesy-type stuff we're used to seeing this girl do. Here; in between watching herself in various passionate states alone and with a couple of males she seems to indulge a bit in seeing herself on video Candice stalks about in Brian's sleek and extremely sexy shoes.
This video has this severe "vamp" look. The variety of footwear she wears is pretty great as well, injecting color and texture into this mostly dark and heavy video which rather reminds me of the 1980s film 'Sliver' starring Billy Baldwin and Sharon Stone. But I digress. This video is hot and we can certainly see why it was banned, which makes it all the more fun to play with!
**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.
In this contest, each girl is entitled to have a week off. Any girl who does not participate during a week is said to be on her "bye week". This week, the girls on vacation are:

THE MATCH OF THE CENTURY IS FINALLY HERE! Bar against Upton. I really cannot believe we are here to see this match go down. Forget about this being a preview for the playoffs, this could be a preview of the FINALS.
Another reason why this contest is the best. These two women might not be at the top of your list of best feet in this contest, but considering who these women are, considering what their records are, there's NO WAY that this is not the Classic of the Week. So much talk about how great these two are, especially by National. Seems like every week, he would talk about one or the other, always something very positive. Now, these women are going to have to live up to those words.
Jessica Lowndes and Jessica Alba is a great match on its own, but this Upton-Refaeli showdown is going to overshadow this easily. Those two matches can carry the week along because the rest of the matches are pretty much so-so.
I'm telling you, Bar vs. Upton is like watching Hulk Hogan against the Ultimate Warrior back at Wrestlemania 6, only hotter.

It's always special to see two undefeated women go toe-to-toe this late in the season. The most depressing part about any of this is that either Kate or Bar is actually going to lose. This is EPIC!

You're absolutely right. Upton has had an easier road to get to where she is right now at 9-0. Bar Refaeli has passed the toughest tests the AFC has had to offer. Bar is certainly ready for what the NFC can bring her. Kate is going up against someone who has been through the tough battles and knows what it's like to handle the competition.
I hope Bar wins. If that happens, then there's no one left for her to go through except for whoever she faces in the finals.
Posted by Duffy (Member # 33742) on :
I've got Kate Upton in this one. Both women have brought it this week. Upton makes a more compelling case to me that her feet are better than Bar's. Of course, their videos add a very nice tough to amp up this match to another level. Both women are looking flawless in their videos, making that that much tougher to make a choice.
I, too, could not believe that National actually went with the idea of having these two face each other in the regular season, thinking that he was hoping that the two would meet each other for the first time in the Finals Classic. This could very well be a preview of the Finals.
Kate might've had an easier road to get to where she is at 9-0, but with those she has faced, she has completely destroyed, something that one one else can say when they faced mediocre competition. Kate knows what it takes to be at the top of many guy's list, as does Bar. For Kate, it was a great thing that she faced Rosie last week. Kate saw that as a tune-up to her match with Bar.
Never have I rooted for Upton so much until now. This match will be intense, and Kate will pull this off.

I usually make my predictions on the Classic of the Week very late in the week. In this case, I'm going to make the exception. This match between Bar and Kate was my prediction of who will face each other in the finals. At the time I made that announcement, I didn't think that Kate would go on and destroy everyone she's faced. Because of that, I would have to say that Kate Upton is going to win this match, and quite easily as well. Even though I think Kate is going to win this match, I did vote for Bar. I had to vote for what my heart tells me, but my mind is telling me that Kate will not have a hard time. Yes, Bar has the lead now, but once Kate catches up to her, Kate might run away with it. I'm not saying that Kate will get 70 percent of the votes. What I am saying is that I think Kate will beat Bar by at least 10 votes. That's what my mind tells me.
Yes, Bar has better quality of wins than Kate does, but let's not forget that Kate Upton has killed all of her opponents. Her match last week against Rosie was her closest match, a match Kate won by 11 votes. For Rosie, that's embarrassing. I bet she'll NEVER lose by that many ever again.
Candice Swanepoel was the only girl to beat her last year, and I think she's the only girl in here who can beat Upton still. IF Upton faces Candice, I think that's where Kate's first and only loss will come.
I like Bar's pictures, I love that video, but I think Kate is too popular for Bar.
Personally, I would LOVE to see this being close all the way through, and I would like to see Bar win this. But like I said, I don't see how Kate is going to lose this match.

Can you please update the National Park soon
Posted by National (Member # 8568) on :
It'll be updated next weekend most likely.
Posted by 18th Floor (Member # 35007) on :
The last time I checked, Kate had a humongous lead over Refaeli. Anyone who has voted recently would not have known that based on the fact that Bar took the lead in less than no time. Already, Bar is setting the tone for how this match is going to be all week long. She's letting Kate know that she's ready to go the distance.
Jennifer Hawkins is becoming something else over the last few weeks. I voted for her, and it looks like she's going to take the lead in her division for the first time now that Heidi is out.

My AFC picks.
I pick Rosie over McCarthy in a blowout. The next match takes you back at a time when these next two contestants were part of the biggest rivalry in this contest's history. Now, no thanks to Kim, this rivalry has died. I remember when these two would be the talk of the AFC. They were taking over the AFC, winning match after match. Now this match doesn't mean anything. This is the first time in my life that I'm voting in favor of Carmen over Kim. I never thought that Carmen would outlast Kim in this contest. When she first came in here, I thought Kim would be the one that would oust Carmen. Carmen has proved me wrong.
Kim sucks. I don't see how National can bring her back for another year. Whatever he's paying her, it has become clearly evident that Kim is overpaid. I do think she'll win one match before this season is over. You don't want your girl to be the one who loses to Kim.
I'll take Nina Dobrev in this match over Selena. Nina looks nice week after week. This week, fer feet look exceptionally nice in those shoes. Nice closeups of her feet so that we can get a clear look as to what's going on in that department.
I need Marisa to lose just ONE more match before I can feel comfortable in knowing that she won't make the playoffs. I voted for Abigail. Everything from the waist down is better than what Marisa has. Besides, Abigail is better than Marisa from the vagina up as well.

I want to give Candice a standing ovation for taking part in that project and promote the idea that feet and footwear is very sexy and very powerful.
Even though she had three pictures this week, they spoke in higher volumes than Megan's pictures. The focus was squarely on the feet. Looking at her pictures, there's no doubt that she's being treated like the Goddess that she is. She literally has them at her feet. In fact, if her look at the second picture, the one with the two guys, the guy who Candice is on top of is not looking at her face at all. All he wants to know is how those feet and shoes are doing. All of this is really hot and Candice is doing a great job catering to us this week.
And good for Candice in defending that ad campaign. She wasn't apologetic, she stood by her decision, there's no regrets, and she's got the body to show that she can get away with anything that all these fat girls can't.
Candice is headstrong, and that's what we need in a champion.
Bravo, Candice! Posted by National (Member # 8568) on :
BRIAN ATWOOD Atwood, clearly an ally for all females, is singularly devoted to making women's bottom halves look long, lean and fabulously sexy – and he does all that without killing their feet. His wicked stilettos, filled with detail and unusual contrasts, are expertly constructed using only the finest luxury materials. But even more irresistible is what he calls "The Cinderella Factor" – the instantaneous transformation that occurs on a woman's face as her foot slides into the magical shoe.
In this first video, you'll have an exclusive look of the work that was done to put together the first Brian Atwood flagship store in New York City. This was the same location that originally planned to post one of Candice's pictures as a way to promote the store's Grand Opening before people started to voice complaints about the ad's racy nature.
Another video in association with the Brian Atwood name. This video may cause a spontaneous urge in women to go buy shoes ... or anything with fringes, but mainly shoes.

My NFC picks.
In all likelihood, Mila is going to lose. I voted for her anyway. Her win over Candice last week really blew me away even though Tisdale is known for coming though against the top cats of this contest. I mean I had a weird feeling that Tisdale was going to win it, but I was in shock that she actually did it, against CANDICE.
I sort of forgot about Maggie Grace because it's been a long time since we've last seen her in action. She's back, and I'm voting for her over McCord. She started the season hot, but she's in danger of going cold if she loses this week.
I'm not a huge fan of either girl in this next match, but I had to go with Katy in this one. Good thing this is a rematch because I don't want to see those two together in the same match again.

Carmen Electra is done with Kim Kardashian. This is their last encounter most likely, and I'm glad that Carmen is going to get the last laugh on this. I'm done with Kim and it looks like everyone else is done with her as well.
More importantly, I voted for Jessica Alba in order to protect Carmen. If I'm Carmen, I would thank National for putting together their schedules the way he has. Carmen is having her way with Kim while crossing her fingers that Alba helps her out.
And Carmen's pictures are just mind blowing. Hard to focus on Carmen's feet when Carmen is that hot, posing the way she does.
Carmen Electra Lives On!

It looks like you could be right on the money with that. There's still a lot of time left, though, which should be enough for Bar to catch up and make things interesting again. Kate was behind for a good portion before speeding by Bar. When I first read that quote, I thought you were crazy. So far, it looks like your prediction might hold true. I still can't believe that one of them is actually going to lose before the playoffs get here.

The rest of my picks.
Irina Shayk over Brooklyn Decker any day of the week. Brooklyn's shoes make her feet look more terrible than it actually is. Irina's shoes aren't the sexiest I've seen from her, but compared to Brooklyn's, they're better. Plus, Irina's got an AMAZING ass. Makes you want to bite it real good. Irina is looking perfect, like a Goddess should look like. If you look real closely, even Irina's fingernails look 100 times hotter than Brooklyn's toenails. Irina's hands look sexier than Brooklyn's feet.
Both Longoria and Petra needs this match for survival. Excellent match for this week, and a match that's easily underrated for the simple fact that we have two really good matches this week, especially the main event. I feel that Petra needs this just a bit more than Longoria has and I've always voted for Nemcova. Nemcova's feet gets my vote this week.
I voted for Victoria this week. I voted for her just about every week in this, and she lets me down just about every time. I voted for her again this week. It looks like this will be my last time voting for her again this year. She has really disappointed me. So have the voters.
I saw Olivia Wilde on TV not too long ago in some stupid movie she was in. I don't remember which movie it was because Olivia was in it. But I must admit, however, that she looks better in film than she does in every single picture I've seen of her. Having said that, Olivia gets no love from me. I have nothing but strong resentments over her. If she found herself knocking on my door one night, saying that some guy is on the verge of attacking her, I'd leave her outside, sleeping peacefully knowing that someone is doing the dirty work for me! So it comes as no surprise to everyone that I voted for Jennifer Hawkins, who is the most underrated hot girl with hot feet in this contest.
Next match is VERY good because I'm curious to see how Jessica Lowndes will be received among this group of voters. Very important match for both of them. I voted for Jessica this week. Posted by National (Member # 8568) on :
THE STANDINGS UPDATED
(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.)
The match between Alba and Lowndes was a great preview of a showdown we could see in the playoffs. As great as Alba's record looks, this win against Lowndes was her first noteworthy win of the season. Her two losses were against women who were leaders of their divisions at the time of the loss, and both losses were by at least ten votes. Other than that, her wins were against the middle and low echelons of the contest. This win note only separates Alba from the majority of her peers, that win also puts her a step closer to clinching that first round bye for the playoffs.
This was a huge step in the right direction for Alba. There's not much for me to say about Lowndes, really. There's really not much for me to say about her, no reason for me to push the panic button. I'm better off holding my judgement about her towards the end of the season where she's got some stiff competition in store for her.

SCAM ARTIST
The only woman in this contest who I can think of that falls into this category is Kim Kardashian. For that huge mess with Kris Humphries, her hook-up with Drama King in Kanye West. All of that is magnified when you factor in the fact that she's become a non-factor in this contest.
She has won a championship and then forgot where she placed the Ferragamo's. That's what happened. If I were her, I'd be more ashamed about that than winning the Payless Shoe Awards after going through the entire season without a win to show that she made any effort to salvage her season and salvage her image. Never mind the possibility that she will get get that award on top of becoming an embarrassment of herself over the last few years.
I don't want to get ahead of myself because I want to save of my rant in the even that she does finish the season winless.
She has brought a lot of promise and attention when she first entered this contest back in Season 2. She and Megan Fox were huge reasons why that season was memorable and quite historical still. Megan's perfect season certainly helped the cause, but Kim was the first woman to really give Carmen Electra a run for her money. No one could win the AFC Championship without going through either one of them first. Now, people use Kim as a 'Welcome' mat as a way to get an easy win. They use that mat to wipe their shoes from any mud or dirt that shoe picked up along the way before entering the house. Now, the girls use that mat to wipe off all the first and mud on top of Kim Kardashian so that their shoes can be nice and clean for some REAL competition the week after. And that's what Carmen just did.
Carmen Electra has given her legacy a new life with the revival of her winning ways this year. And now I can say with absolute clarity that Carmen Electra has OFFICIALLY killed off Kim Kardashian. She's killed off what was once the biggest rivalry in this contest, Carmen has killed off Kim Kardashian with the most lopsided loss in Kim's career. It's only fitting that Carmen Electra has put the final nail in that coffin.
Carmen Electra has outlasted Kim Kardashian. Carmen is an Icon. Kim Kardashian is a mess. Those two words don't belong in the same sentence. This week, Carmen showed everyone that those two don't belong in the same league.
----
I'll get to Bar Refaeli in a moment, but before I do, it's interesting to point out that coming into this week, there seemed to be no doubt who could be the Number 1 seed for the AFC. As I've said from time to time, one win or one loss can make a world of difference. Now, Bar doesn't look like a lock for getting not only a Number 1 seed, but also a first round bye. Alba and Electra are right behind her. The only safety net Bar has is that she has beaten both of them. Because of that, that keeps Refaeli at a win and a half ahead of those two. And let's not forget about Rosie. Bar does not want to lose momentum at the same time that Carmen and Alba and Rosie are picking up theirs.

BAR REFAELI VS KATE UPTON
Historic showdowns between two superstars is what makes the National Fashionistas the spectacle that it has become. These matches make the regular season a fun and enjoyable ride that leads into the playoffs. Without them, the regular season becomes boring and fans have no interest to keep tuning in to see what else is going to happen.
There are good matches, and then there are Epic Encounters. These encounters don't happen as often, but when they do, the whole world is at a standstill.
Bar Refaeli and Kate Upton is not only epic, but that match could be a preview of this year's Finals Classic. A showdown of two superpowers has set this season at the peak of the mountain. Kate Upton is honored for not only facing the best in the AFC, but also beating the best the AFC has to offer.
Refaeli made a small comeback towards the end in an attempt to scare Kate Upton. However, her efforts were not enough because not to long before, Kate was ahead by twelve votes.
Bar has been in the modeling business since she was baby. That's not an exaggeration, either. Bar lives and breathes this industry. There are people in the modeling industry who still don't hold Kate up to the same standards as Bar. If that industry had an official Hall of Fame, Refaeli would be inducted in her first year of eligibility without any question. The jury is still out on Kate, perhaps waiting to see if she'll be some flash in the pan. I would say in her defense that only a handful of women have graced the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue two years in a row. None of them turned out to be flashes in any pan.
Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that for Bar has been in this business longer than Kate Upton has been ALIVE. For Bar, this is a bit of a bitter pill to swallow because I can bet that the majority of those in the modeling industry were secretly rooting for Bar for the homage she's paid over the years. A younger generation of supporters were behind Kate.
In Kate's defense again, I will remind them that there's a reason why they called her Kate "The Great" before she even became really famous was because they knew she had potential of taking the world by storm and becoming a household name like Heidi Klum before all is said and done.
Kate Upton has beaten Bar Refaeli in a showdown of Fashion's Finest Stars.
