Canada’s Next Top Model sends Dawn packing
June 8th, 2006
Maybe it was just bad lighting.Or maybe Calgarian Dawn Buggins really didn’t have what it takes to be Canada’s Next Top Model. Either way, the 22-year-old bartender was booted off the modelling competition last night by judge and host Tricia Helfer, herself an Alberta-born supermodel. Helfer and the other judges said in previous interviews they thought Buggins was a “sweet, gorgeous girl,” but they were worried she didn’t have the cut-throat mentality it takes to make it big on the catwalk.
Last night, after a photo shoot where Buggins admitted she felt uncomfortable in front of the cameras, the judges discussed her chances. Judge Jeanne Beker, host of Fashion Television, asked Buggins how she felt in front of the camera and Buggins replied she was nervous, but said, “I’m getting better.” But in the world of high heels and high fashion, that’s not enough, and Buggins was sent packing. Literally. As she packed her bags, Buggins admitted she knew her ousting was coming. “I had a gut feeling all day,” she said. “It’s a blow to the ego. But I’m glad I did it. No regrets.” Last week, Canada’s Next Top Model judges sent home Sylvie Majcher, a 23-year-old Sherwood Park student. There are no other Albertan competitors on the reality-TV show, which airs Wednesdays on Citytv at 8 p.m.

I am disappointed the only Aboriginal contestant in this competition only made it to the second episode. Hopefully Dawn will see success from her brief stint on the show and represent! We need more Aboriginal models in the indutry…..
