…gorgeous,nordic look..and she’s got some personality .
November 23rd, 2010 at 7:01 am
Very beautiful – She could do absolutely anything.
There is something so inocente, gentle, secretive about her.
Quality of established girls like edita, anna etc.
And sweet personality.
November 23rd, 2010 at 8:18 am
why 21 (!!!!!)? Is a model more than 20 without interest?
November 23rd, 2010 at 9:30 am
Actress.
November 23rd, 2010 at 9:39 am
@thegoldiegirl because now she is legal to drink in america
November 23rd, 2010 at 10:43 am
@goldiegirl and @amy, isn’t it because 21 is pretty late to start modeling? i’m not saying she won’t be successful (Iekeliene also started modeling at 21) but usually girls start modeling around 15, no?
November 23rd, 2010 at 11:08 am
She’s hardly just started. As she stated she was with Elite in Chicago & probably just signed with Supreme.
And on my own tangent, what would it matter if she had just started? 21 is not 65 & I am sooooo over the fashion industry setting this disgusting standard that if you’re in your 20′s, you’re over the hill. I know women in their 30′s who are more beautiful and youthful than many of the 20 somethings I know.
Plus, please tell me how many 15 year olds are buying, say, Gucci, Prada, Alexander Wang? Who are these people marketing to?

(walking around the drama llamas above) Love Whitney. Such a sweetheart. Couldn’t be a nicer girl and I’m pulling for her to make it big.
November 23rd, 2010 at 11:46 am
Great look. She looks younger than 21, and reminds me of another former MOTW, Emily Wake.
Well, I am happy for these girls who starts their career in an elder age,
their minds are more matured and understands what is good and bad for them.

Beautiful!
November 23rd, 2010 at 1:13 pm
Helloooo Maryna Linchuk!
(what’s the thing with the exclamation marks behind her age? I thought agencys usually want to “hide” the age, if the models are a bit older??? )
November 23rd, 2010 at 1:29 pm
She is beautiful. I wish I looked exactly like her <3
November 23rd, 2010 at 2:45 pm
Gorgeous and sexy. Her shape is perfect for fashion.
I think this one can do it all. Needs a bit of grooming on her expressions.

I was just suggesting why the exclamation points could have been there…didn’t mean to start drama, guys.
November 23rd, 2010 at 4:12 pm
Wooow! Fabulous girl!

CONGRATS WHITNEY!!!!!!! <3 <3 <3
November 23rd, 2010 at 5:54 pm
Purrrrty as can be.
November 23rd, 2010 at 6:42 pm
first of all, 21 is still very young, and about the marketing thing, I bet not many 21-year-olds are buying designer labels either. just saying. anyways, I think she is a great model (: the third to last pic is magic, reminding me a bit of natasha poly with the cheek bones. lovely girl (:
November 23rd, 2010 at 7:03 pm
haha weird..shes from where I’m from and she’s half norwegian like me…very pretty
November 23rd, 2010 at 9:15 pm
Oh my gosh, she is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!! Despite her being a little bit older than the typical new model, I’m certain she can have a great career if managed correctly. She has that ‘girl next door’ beauty from far away, but when looking closer, it’s obvious that she’s so much more than that. She looks like a cross between Maryna Linchuk and Elsa Sylvan, but with a more conventional beauty. Good luck!
November 23rd, 2010 at 10:28 pm
Whitney – beautiful model and wonderful friend. Wish you the best. Love the pictures.
November 23rd, 2010 at 10:32 pm
Absolutely love these pictures. Wish you the best my friend. Champaign’s loss. God bless.
November 24th, 2010 at 10:02 am
Yep! I’ve got some pretty amazing sisters! :)
November 24th, 2010 at 2:07 pm
Gorgeous eyes!So special!
November 24th, 2010 at 5:43 pm
I’m guessing the models fill out the forms themselves and, considering she’s an American, the exclamation points are most likely there because she’s recently 21 and excited about it.
She’s beautiful, but not my usual cup of tea.
November 24th, 2010 at 8:08 pm
One in a million x
November 24th, 2010 at 8:48 pm
ehh she doesn’t look very inspirational to me. Her beauty is plain.
November 24th, 2010 at 10:23 pm
she has a very fresh look and very pretty eyes i think she can go far
November 25th, 2010 at 5:19 am

November 27th, 2010 at 10:16 am

January 16th, 2011 at 11:05 pm
Her eyes are incredible! They’re captivating.
January 29th, 2011 at 6:48 am
I don’t understand why someone like her with her looks should NOT become a model just because of the age? I mean She’s not in her 30′! And sinally, she’s a mature girl, not some 14-15y. old.
February 7th, 2011 at 11:12 pm
Amazing, such a beautiful magic blue eyes.
Lovely!!!
