As reported to you earlier, Tugonon is among the 100 candidates selected for the global search for NU Muses. The beauty has reason to celebrate yet again as she has now entered the final casting for the global search for 12 NU Muses.
Tugonon shared her happiness on her Instagram account and wrote...
"Woohoo !!! got in the top 30 for @numuses !! Thank you to the judges and everyone who voted. Really appreciate it !! It's gonna be fun fun fun. On to the final casting SOON!!"
Chasing the race is Miss USA 2015 Olivia Jordan who too took to Instagram to thank her voters via videogram. Jordan also urged her fans to support Tugonon...
“I want to thank you all for supporting my dreams and encouraging me to keep chasing after huge goals.???? You guys are so incredible and it means the world to me that you are taking the time to vote everyday for me to become a #NuMuse ?? I hope this dream can come true!? I'm so honored to be a finalist in a group of such inspiring, powerful women! I want to encourage you to also vote for my fellow @newmarkmodels friend @samblacky and fellow sisters in pageantry @tugononjanine & @dayanamendoza ???? these women are equally deserving of such a wonderful opportunity and I know each will use their voices to break down barriers and encourage all women to be our most confident, authentic, powerful selves!!! Keep voting!!! #VOTE @numuses #grateful #thankyou #davidbellemere #steveshaw #treats”
The common thing between the two divas is the fact that both of them are the former contestants of Miss Universe pageant. Janine Tugonon was the first runner-up at the Miss Universe 2012 pageant; and Olivia Jordan competed at the Miss Universe 2015 pageant bagging the title of second runner-up.
NU Muses is a project of Treats magazine founder Steve Shaw and celebrity photographer David Bellemere. A total of twenty models will be selected via online voting. A total of 12 models will mark their place in the final circle. The 12 NU Muses will be featured in a calendar shot by David Bellemere.
Bellemere along with treats! Magazine's Steve Shaw is looking to revisit the classic art of nude and "capture the elegance and romance of the female form, worthy of gracing fine art galleries and walls."
