A lineup of judges, including Mario Tricoci (the man), have selected a handful of finalists for the fifth annual Mario, Make Me a Model competition. Yep, seven young beauties all made the cut after this week's competition at The Chicago Cultural Center. Now begins crunch time for the girls. They'll have beauty and spa treatments, runway training and intense fitness classes at FFC.

Come time for Fashion Focus, only one of the girls will be awarded a contract with Factor, a trip to Cancun, a boat load of free makeup, fitness extras... sheesh, sounds like being beautiful is hard work. So who do you think will win? Let's put it up for an (unofficial) vote.
