Season two of Nu Face Model Search is well underway. Six finalists have been chosen: Alshandra Rolle (Nassau), Philincia Cleare (Nassau), Leverne Palacious (Nassau), Shequera ‘Grace’ King (Freeport, G.B), Jenelle Hollingsworth (Freeport) and Tamara Wiltshire (Grand Bahama).

In the past few weeks the finalists have participated in photo shoots in Freeport Grand Bahama (the Lucayan Caves), Harbour Island (on Bahamas Ferries) and in Nassau. They have made various commercials for sponsors, and have participated in the ‘Hair to Infinity’ hair show and fashion extravaganza held May 15th at the British Colonial Hilton in Nassau.

The models have had training in basic self- defense at All Star Academy with Sensei Rahming and were treated to a final dinner at Provence Restaurant in Sandy Port.

The top two finalist will be chosen in June and participate in a final photo shoot in July for the Fall 2011 cover of Nu Woman Magazine. Two local designers (Theodore Elyett and Sabrina Sturrup) will make dresses for the top two finalists.

More good news, two Nu Face finalists from Freeport- Jenelle Hollingsworth and Shequera ‘Grace’ King have been chosen to participate in Caribbean International Fashion Week this June in New York.
