The three lucky ladies that have been hand chosen by Vanessa are Chelsea Moore PA, Shanequa Batts NJ, and Ashanti Lissette NY.
With much buzz already surrounding the ROSE by Vanessa Jean Model Search which launched January 2012, the highly anticipated semi-final model competition took place over the course of four eventful days (June 4 - 8) in Los Angeles, CA. Fourteen semi-finalists competed in various fashion-inspired events and challenges, all vying for the coveted “ROSE Girl” title.
Daymond John, Dani Evans, Dino Awadisian and actor Wesley Jonathan were on hand throughout the week to assist Vanessa in the exciting competition challenges and tough decision making process.
Challenges and events included, photo shoots, a runway competition, red carpet interviews, one-on-ones with Daymond, Vanessa & Dani, baking for charity, a Yoga-Booty Ballet session with Vanessa, and an inspiring visit to the Jenesse Center; a women's domestic violence organization based in LA. The entire four-day competition was exclusively featured LIVE on Ustream.tv, giving fans a chance to interact and watch their favorite girls in action!
The three beautiful winners have been given an opportunity of a lifetime, in which they will walk the runway with Vanessa Simmons for the big reveal of the ROSE by Vanessa Jean line this summer.
The ladies were also blinged out with a diamond encrusted, glamorous timepiece from one of Vanessa's favorite jewelry lines, Glam Rock Watches. Vanessa is very thankful to all of the semi-finalists, judges, sponsors (Upload Demo, Beauty Bakery, G7 Studios, Backstage Media, Glam Rock Watches) supporters and fans who tuned in to the ROSE by Vanessa Jean Model Competition. Stay tuned for the launch of the highly anticipated line this summer!
