So it came down to the Malaysian Dreamgirl Final 3 for Season 1!

Adeline, Cindy and Hanis - Hanis being the clear public favourite, Adeline seeming to be popular amongst the young Chinese population and Cindy being expected to win due to certain 'outside factors'.

The finale itself was held as part of Fashion on 1 at 1-Utama new-wing Oval, on the main catwalk for the Fashion shows.

I propped myself up on the photographers platform with Kimberly and Mike and my new monopod and got a few shots in.

The stage was set for the MDG Finale in 1-Utama.

There was a pretty decent crowd in and outside.

And the photographers were ready on the platform.

Episode 3 is out!

It's an interesting episode, the girls get some great tip and advice from Elaine Daly and her veritable experience with modelling and being in front of the camera.

She really gives them some good tips, most of them are facing the same problems I have when I'm shooting models that don't have much experience.

Ringo is back in too! There's a bit of drama about what she said in her blog after getting rejected at the closed auditions.

One of the girls dropped out due to personal commitments.

There is now a gallery up with pictures of each of the 12 girls after their make-overs! I must say they all look very different and very much better!

The top 12 each has a small intro video as well - you can view them here by clicking on the thumbnails.

Most of them seem a bit wooden but a couple really speak well (Jean is probably best, Cindy is good too - but her grammar is a bit off).

Malaysian Dreamgirl will also be going public for the first time this weekend at 1 Utama! The event will be on Sunday (16th of March). There will be 2 sets of fashion shows and lots of other stage games and performances. Lots of prizes to be given out as well.

It starts at 1pm all the way till 8pm and the fashion shows will be 3pm and 8pm.

So be there (good photo op too for photographers).

Go watch it now if you haven't!

P.S. I'm going to be away from tomorrow (Friday 14th) until next Thursday (19th) so it's unlikely there will be any updates during this period - Enjoy!

I mentioned the Malaysian Dreamgirl - Audition 16th and 17th February at PWTC on Friday and I attended the first day on the 16th afternoon to check out what was going on.

Myself and Su Ann (her post about the audition) will be the 'official bloggers' for Malaysian Dreamgirl 2008, we will be following the series through-out - visiting the house where the girls stay and attending some of the challenges they are set.

It was pretty interesting sitting in the Media room watching the live feeds, there were 2 cameras one facing the contestants and one on the judges. Around 8 got through before I arrived.

This was the first girl I saw that qualified, zomg she looks like Suet Li! - Her name is Yvonne Sim.

The crew interviewed most of the girls before they went in, see if they are nervous and what they are expecting.
