Okay, it's no secret that at The Fashion Spot, members compile lists of their favorite girls as a season progresses to see how many shows they opened, closed, and walked in total. Models.com took it upon themselves to organize the top 10 most active girls from information assembled at the fashion spot forums. The list is compiled from participation in shows from New York, London, Milan, and Paris Fashion Weeks.

Here are the top 10 most active girls with there being a 4 way tie for 5th place. Information attributable to models.com and The Fashion Spot forums.

These are in no particular order. Also, there are a few images of other models that are going to press soon and in deference to my clients, I didn't post those images.

And one more note, I'll be covering the Couture shows at Paris in January too...and from there come back to catch the street style at castings in NY and prepare for the new fashion month that is already so close to us.

Julia Goncharenko, from Elite Models New York. Julia just appeared in a feature for a designer in Latin American Vogue and has been photographed for Harpers Bazaar Spain.

A mini dress made by the now non-existent store that we all miss from Nolita--Mayle.

Joan Smalls of Elite New York as discovered on Broadway hailing a cab. She was in Ricky Martin's video, "It's Alright", modeled for the 2007 Nordstrom's catalog, and appeared alongside Anouck Lepère in past Liz Claiborne ads.

On a side note, I can't believe I got a clean shot in the middle of the day on Broadway.

This photo humors me of the first shot I took of Joan back when she was still with Elite Models in early 2008. She was walking down Broadway between Prince and Spring streets. When I asked for her photo she told me I should talk to her booker. Naturally, I snagged a candid shot of her hailing a cab regardless, which actually turned out pretty good. How times have changed since then!

I first saw Darla on the corner of Prince and Mercer eyeing some street vendor products. But there were way too many cars, bikers, and people around there to get even a half decent shot. So in typical street hunter mode, she moved to the corner of Crosby and Prince 2 blocks away where the timing was finally right to ask for a shot. Then we walked two more blocks together to find a decent area for a decent shot.

the nightime view at Panza Verde

sunbathe on the roof top deck with a volcano in the background

or wade in the pool

and admire the decor on the way to your room, no two of which are alike

maybe take a rest on one of the many unique couches in the halls

bedroom

no two bathrooms are alike

no two desks are alike

Panza Verde is like a luxurious village within a gated fortress. There is a security entrance and this is what you might first see when you enter.

the lobby sitting area

If Lara Stone is the hottest model out there right now, then Panza Verde is the hottest boutique hotel in Antigua Guatemala. Both have unique features, which allow them to stand out from the rest of the commercial crowd. Recently I had the pleasure of partaking of the Panza Verde experience and below recollect some of my thoughts.

No two rooms are the same

Of the 12 rooms in Panza Verde, no two are exactly alike. On a walk through, one room has a custom hammock with it's own private courtyard, another has floor to ceiling colonial window tiles, bedspreads differ in texture and print. Fireplaces are customized, bathtubs range from typical rectangular fashion to unique ovalesque rotunds. Even the key chains are distinct: my suite came with a traditional mini sandal attached to the keys. They say the value of a models beauty lies not in her standard looks, but in what makes her unique and distinct. Like Natasha Poly's instantly recognizable face, Panza Verde's unique attributes make it stand out amidst a sea of commercially available options.

Unique and safe

The staff and service is equally unique. An archeologist works the front desk, an elderly and warm, traditional native Indian serves the continental buffet in the morning. The original chef immigrated from Europe. Everyone here has a story that is unique. The entire estate is locked up at night too, like a medieval fortress to keep safe.

4 star restaurant on estate

That's only the beginning. As Celine may be the current taste maker for clothes and the recent Camel colored frenzy, Panza Verde's restaurant is the tastemaker for food in Antigua. It brings back the basics like Asparagus Milanesa, Carpaccio Pensativo, Steak Dijonaise but reinvigorates them with modern twists, that lure the impulse eater from the heart. Not to mention, the restaurant won the 2008 Tenedor de Oro for best restaurant in Guatemala.

casting for your hotel

While a modern BMW or Mercedes may lurk on the street outside the gates of Panza Verde, it's inside is a like fantasy journey back to colonial times. Everything is unique, the service superb, the attention to ambiance above critique. It's no surprise that Panza Verde attracts in the "beautiful people" from around the world and an elite clientele, for with it's aristocratic attention to detail, Panza Verde offers an intimate boutique experience that will instantly seduce anyone's heart.

Photo fiesta fun with Roza Gough (L) and Joan Smalls (R) after a casting today.

Again, make sure you stay tuned for the coming interview with Sarah Doukas (owner Storm Models)....

Last night Karl Lagerfeld and British collective I LOVE DUST celebrated their capsule collection collaboration at the Bleecker Street Pop Up. Karl branded macaroons were passed around, champagne flowed, The Misshapes' Leigh Lezark spun tunes from the front of the house while Model Off Duty guests like Hilary Rhoda, Sara Blomqvist, Jana Wirth, and Zuzanna Krzatala mingled the scene. The Lagerfeld limited edition T-shirt Collection is available to the public starting today.
