I remember thinking, while Cycle 5 was airing, that Lola would make a great WWE Diva - she could've been a massive heel monster just tearing bitches up and suplexing the fuck out of Michelle McCool through a goddamn table, just wrecking shit until a babyface Beth Phoenix or Kharma stepped up and challenged her, bringing on an epic feud that culminates in a Wrestlemania spectacle of massive proportions. Cos, seriously, Lola was about as feminine as a boot in the head so it all made sense to me, right?
In all seriousness though, Lola was another one of these "sports" models - like Liz Braithwaite (god I hope I don't cop as much shit for knocking off the 2nd of the Frankenstein Twins from this rankdown as I did when I cut her) - and copped a fair amount of flack during her time on the show for having a body-type that didn't fit the conventional norms for a lot of the shoots. I get why they need to cast girls to fit different modelling "niches", on the off-chance that they come across a girl who is able to subvert or destroy the boundaries of this niche and become a legitmate cross-genre modelling sensation and the judges are hoping for a big win fall since it would make a LOT of sense for the world's next "big thing" in the sports/athletic modelling category to come from Australia but, the thing is, like Liz, Lola isn't athletic looking
enough to make sense as a sport model but not editorial looking enough to fit into that scene and certainly not commercial enough to be a commercial/catalog/glamour model either so.... ???
One thing Lola definitely has working in her favour though is that her look is
INCREDIBLY campy - especially after you douse that giant, mug head of hers in bleach, which translates beautifully for certain over-stylised briefs like this:
or even this
But stick her in anything more traditional and conventional, like, anything that doesn't resemble the cast shot of a dinner theatre horror production or an Annie Lennox dubstep remixes album cover and bitch starts to struggle in the most distressing manner:
Actually, I think that little blurb I wrote there for that pic just about summed it up on Lola - she did always make me think that this is what Lurch from The Addams Family would look like if he decided to transition to a female and Lola also has one of the worst AusNTM portfolios out of every girl I have ever seen on the show because I cannot find a single photo that she took during her time in the competition that I like so that makes her just about the Von
Worst in my opinion - eh? Eh? See what I did there??
AGAIN thanks for making me cut the relevant bitches. Let's get TWO more numbers from one of y'all and make it a bit more snappy this time if you please!!
