2.Justin M Boyd Charlotte, NC

 "I pride myself in strengthening the values of my family, for a man's word is only as good as the foundation it stands upon.  My goal in life is to minister to the world through film, and to television. I believe to whom much is given much is required. I consider myself to be a proficient strategist in business, marketing, and promotion. I believe in value building, and brand management. I use fashion as a way to show the world my creativity, organization, and ability to be confident in my attire.  A man makes the clothes, never the clothes make the man. It takes a creative man with style, and ambition to put together ones less fortunates, while one can have all the labels in the catalog and can't make it work. Justin makes it work because God is my foundation."

3.Brandon Cardale, Chicago, Ill (RESIGNED FROM COMPETITION)

5.Justin Dukes, Chicago, Ill.

 "I am here to satisfy a growing interest I have had in the modeling industry. I've had family and friends alike nudging me for the past couple of years in this direction and I am finally exploring what possibilities lie in this genre. Being an athlete for many years has instilled in me a priority of personal fitness and self confidence which are identical traits of a model. My goal is to meet and interact with as many industry professionals on all levels to build my portfolio and let my experiences take me where they are going to take me."

15.Kevin McCambry, Kansas City, Mo. (RESIGNED FROM CONTEST)

16.Charles McGuirk, New Smyna Beach, Fla. (REMOVED FROM COMPETITION)

17.Tori Mitchell, Cleveland, Oh.

"I have modeled in the past and had to set it aside for job and family, and now that my true inspirations are getting a little older I want to get back into the business. As I look at models today, I feel that we have lost something: the true adult male of the past is gone and I want to bring that look and feel back, nothing but original and not made up or scripted.  As I have grown over the years, I have learned a lot from art and today’s media and the focus is on the 17 year olds whose parents have to carry the burden of the purchase while dads are forgotten. As a single father of 2 beautiful young ladies who I am sure will be models one day, I want to be the face of the true American male, bold, rugged, masculine and original. I need your vote; I hope I can get it."

18.Haile Michael Mruzek, New York, NY

19.Justin Payne, Columbia, SC

" Im born and raised in LA California.  Im currently here in SC attending med school at USC School of Medicine. I have done print work for Elite Magazine in 2008 and 2009. I stopped modeling because of school. Currently seeking an opportunity to advance in the field and be seen as one of the best and work with the right people I can make this happen."

20.Sergio Sanders, East Oakland, Calif. (RESIGNED FROM COMPETITION)

21.Terrence Stokes, St. Louis, Mo.


"I work at a private airport and I'm currently a part time student studying criminal justice. My goal when I'm finished with school is to become a police officer however, I've always had bigger goals to become a model/actor but living in St.Louis makes that dream slightly complicated. I joined model mayhem in hopes of pursuing my passion and I saw your announcement. If I were to win the Mista Couture Contest, I would hope to meet some great people in the process as well as network and grow into the modeling/acting world."

ADD: 22. Quincy Johnson, St. Louis, Mo. (REMOVED FROM CONTEST)

I feel like to participate in the Mr. Couture contest would be a 
wonderful experience for me to show not only style and presentation, 
but also talent and skill. I am an independent male model who loves to be in front of the camera, but instead of showing one ability, love to show off my other talents in areas such as 
music, poetry,& art. Not to mention, I feel that this can be inspiration for young men behind me
