Meet INsite’s Cover Model finalists and vote for who will be featured on the cover of the next issue!

Hallie, 23, UF advertising student
Hallie moved from New York’s Long Island to attend the University of Florida, and after a brief delay finding her niche, she has found that she loves that Gainesville’s size means seeing familiar faces at her favorite local haunts. She enjoys sketching, painting and graphic design and likes going to places that have a familiar, friendly vibe.
Local faves: The Top Restaurant, Bistro 1245, Taco Bell
Dream photoshoot: Grace Kelly meets Grace Jones in a dark and elegant courtyard, like the Thomas Center.

Rachel, 21, UF anthropology student
This first-time Gainesville Fashion Week model and self-described “jeans and heels girl” is from New Jersey and South Florida, and she loves Gainesville. She enjoys going out in midtown and recognizing familiar faces, and never misses a pool party.
Local faves: Wolfgang, Oaks Mall, Bento, Crispers, Mars Laser Tag, Fuji Sushi
Dream photoshoot: At Lake Wauberg wearing soft florals mixed with something edgy, like cowboy boots or leather—or Gator gear in the Swamp.

Chris, 21, UF telecom production student
Chris, also a GFW model, is a music director at ROCK104 and enjoys soccer, music, going out—and, of course—is a big Gators fan. His dream job would be a TV personality that combines all his passions. Oh, and he is more comfortable without his shirt on.
Local faves: Designer Greens, Relish, 101 Cantina, The Swamp, Spannk, Sharab Lounge, Common Grounds
Dream photoshoot: Something outdoors, sporty and near water that showed both his serious and goofy sides.

Alexandra, 19, UF biology student
This “dorky” beauty, originally from the Jacksonville area, is very outgoing and loves making costumes; she’ll even don blue contacts when channeling her inner Megan Fox. As a UF pre-med freshman, Alex likes to focus on school, but she occasionally finds time to go out or shop for bargains. She is also a first-time model at GFW this year.
Local faves: Mesh Boutique, 101 Cantina, Spannk, 101 Downtown
Dream photoshoot: A whimsical and elaborate shoot in a butterfly garden.

Sueli, 26, pop artist and music teacher
This up-and-coming pop artist has a funky style, and recently recorded her first demo (she writes the music herself). Originally from South Florida, she has a background in musical theater and she likes to inspire through her music and lyrics. At 4’11”, she wants to show that you don’t have to be tall to be beautiful.
Local faves: Various performance venues around town, like Tapas & Tinis and Sharab Lounge.
Dream photoshoot: Rocker-chic in the studio—or maybe performing to VIPs in a hot club.
