Melina in “Brake for Melina”
We’re debuting a new format for our Eye Candy posts – complete with more detailed critiques and “graded” categories. View the photoshoot we’ve “hung” on our wall, read our critique, vote, and last but not least – sound off in the comments!
The Look: The thought of a high-waisted overalls-esque look makes me cringe, but Melina absolutely makes it work. She manages to keep it from looking all costume-y, and the heels and red top compliment it quite well. The little accents and twists in her hair are cute and give it that extra oomph. While you don’t really see the correlation between her wearing this outfit and standing on the side of the road, it certainly looks good. Grade: A
The Poses: Melina uses her environment to her advantage, posing against the road barrier, ON the road barrier, and against a chain link fence. She certainly mixes it up from her body position, using the locale, and even her facial expressions. She’s not sticking to the “smile or pout” ultimatum some Divas seem to relegate themselves to. She does all of this pretty well, considering the fact that she probably had car after car buzzing by a few feet away. Grade: A
Uniqueness: I’ve gotta say, I probably wouldn’t think of using the side of the highway as a photoshoot location. It’s certainly versatile and makes for some unpredictable shots. A Diva lounging on a concrete road barrier while cars buzz past behind her isn’t something you see every day. And even though they obviously chose to avoid rush hour when shooting, this brings a whole new meaning to the phrase “traffic-stopping”. Grade: A
Overall: This shoot brings all the good variables together: she’s got a different look that catches your eye but isn’t ticky-tacky, she uses her surroundings to create great poses, and the locale makes the shoot unique in the effort you knew it took to put it together. Grade: A

she looks smokin
but i agree the overalls thing does look that great but she pulls it of.
though it would have looked better as a simple dress.
The only thing I don’t like is the location, she looks fabulous though.
ahhhh i completely flipped out when i saw this photoshoot!! that’s the mississippi river bridge right outside of new orleans that i always drive on!!!! i cant believe melina did a photoshoot there!!!!!!!! first an amazing PPV, then this photoshoot, and now bourbon street beauties photoshoot! i love all the new orleans themed things WWE keeps doing whenever they come to town!
Shouldn’t there be a link to the WWE page with the pics? Or is there one and I just can’t find it? It’d be a lot easier than opening a new tab and manually going to WWE.com to view the full set.
IMO, Melina always looks fabulous in her photoshoots.
Her poses and facial expressions look relatively simple, she doesn’t try so hard like some of the other divas.
It is a rather unique location but she makes everything work, as usual lol.
This has to be her best photo shoot to date:)
I thought that this was the Taylor-Southgate Bridge running between Cincinnati and Newport…but the concept and look is good…i really like the shoot
sorry this was bugging me…it is the Taylor-Southgate Bridge…if you look at like the 6th picture there’s a little plaque/sign thingy…
