America’s Next Top Model: A University of Miami 1L?
We just finished watching America’s Next Top Model. So it’s quite appropriate for us to pass along this modeling montage video, which is amusingly bizarre. From a tipster:
I hate to pile it on, but you have to check out this YouTube clip of a University of Miami 1L. It’s a seven-minute clip of various glamour shots, set to the soothing sounds of flamenco guitar. I think my favorite photos involve her posing with a samurai sword.
We agree; nothing beats a samurai sword paired with fishnets. But the pics of her in a midriff-baring schoolgirl outfit, replete with pigtails, are also pretty great. As is the photo of her humping a white banister, which kicks off the whole thing.
You don’t need to watch the entire video, since the shots start to repeat after a while, but stick around at least until “Hotel California.” Enjoy!
Update (12:15 AM): Sigh. If you click on the video below, you’ll see that it has been pulled. We seem to have the anti-Midas touch when it comes to law school videos: everything we link to gets yanked. See, e.g., here (Harvard) and here (Columbia).
A little bit more, after the jump.
So, whaddya think? Have you added it to your YouTube favorites yet? Here’s additional info:
These clips aren’t too far from what she wears to school every day. The 1L’s this year have dressed a littleskankiermore provocatively than normal this year.It appears [that this] video was uploaded by a modeling agency…. [and] other “models” have tried to have their videos pulled, but they do not own the copyright. Hypothetically, this video could stay up all the way through hiring season after her 1L year.
To the U. Miami Law community: Thanks to your many mentions in these pages — in addition to this YouTube gem, you’ve also given us an allegedly prostitute-soliciting professor; a train wreck of a People’s Court appearance, featuring a saucy current student and an even more saucy former professor; and UM alumna Oona O’Connell, now prominently featured on a site called Girls and Guns (look under the “Girls” tab) — you’ve been granted your very own ATL category tag. Congratulations!
P.S. Even though it appears on YouTube, please do not mention the name of this young woman in the comments. We don’t want to make it easier for prospective employers to Google her than it already is. Thanks.

f....f....fff.....f-first?
*feels dirty*
C'mon you don't put that out there if you don't want people to see it. Furthermore, you'd think people would have a little more foresight if they are attending a professional school: employers can check YouTube!
My high school reform school didn't move the chains like this place. Damn.
No wonder we are slipping down the rankings! =(
Clearly all of you who questioned Oona's career choice are in for a taste of humble pie. She will not be denied!
Not that this video detracts in any way from this “1L’s” ability to be taken seriously as a lawyer in any way, but I predict that she will leave school on a hardship waiver and go pro before the end of her second year…..
Brilliant post.
Tough (or great) week for The University of Miami Law School (depending on your perspective).
Go Hurricanes!
(Yes, that is the actual name of the UM football team.)
Yes, Girls n's Guns, Girls tab, page 2--Oona O'Connell, holding what looks like the H & K compact 9 from the handguns page; kinda hard to tell from that angle.
Is this a paid gig, you think?
why aren't the 1Ls at my school this hot?
"(Yes, that is the actual name of the UM football team.)"
I'm confused. This is news??
She is destined for greatness. Truly a welcomed addition to this otherwise bland profession of ours.
Cuz its Miami, fool.
What a minute, why am I talking like this? That website has poisoned my mind....I am Oona’s puppet…..must buy guns now….
Wow. I'd hit it.
But Lat, we want to know more about the UM 2L who got pwn3d on the People's Court. Go score an interview with him! You got the weird tattooed Regent guy, now go find punk-boy...
Lat - I'm not thinking she's too concerned about her privacy, given her myspace page that is set to public and contains all of the stills used in the montage, along with her full resume in the "profile" section...
What's with all the complaints the last few days about the blog? Lat, you have truly outdone yourself this week.
Small head, epicanthal folds, flat midface & thin upper lip? Yep, fetal alcohol syndrome.
I can't believe I watched the whole thing. I just wanted to see how many times they'd re-use the banister-humping shot. (At least 5.)
I like.
I would DEFINITELY grope her.
Agreed, 9:55.
Girls here are required to weight over 200
I wonder if In a Flash Photography is a subsidiary of Vivid Entertainment
I wonder if they licensed the rights to Hotel California, or if they are using it without authorization?
Finally a story that helps Miami's rep. With this out there, I would imagine that 2008-2009 applicationswill be packed with guys wanting the attractive 1L population that Miami has to offer.
Video is gone...sad.
And like that it's gone. Did anyone save it?
umm don't really think we dress like skanks
12:20 Last wgwag u saw at MIAMI LAW?
Silly boys, tricks are for kids, there are NO hot chicks in law school - and I was a female law student; an exception of course.
Lat, seriously bro, is "Regentgate" really the best you could come up with for the Adam Key story? You're painful lack of naming creativity is really beginning to hurt the site. First it was all the awful SA names that you pulled out of your crapper. At least those had some kind of creativity though. Now you've just stooped to the same ol' lame recipe the traditional news media uses for a scandal: just add "gate" to the end of something. LAME!!!
If you really wanted to stick with the "gate" idea, the least you could have done was try something creative, like "Regent Renegate" or something. You can use that if you'd like, but I think we'd all really rather see you start putting some effort into your naming.
there is a WILHELMINA model 2L in my school.....she cuts classes sometimes to do photoshoots...she did all the SHISHEDO campaigns..
Does anybody else have problems with ATL causing their browser to crash? Often when I read through the comments and then I try to scroll back up to the original post, Firefox will freeze and shut itself down. Has anybody else encountered this?
No... And I use Firefox and often do exactly what you do... Do you have a million tabs and other applications open?
Uh, 3:21,
Did you mean to say "YOUR painful lack of naming creativity..."?
1L -
Your classmated do... trust us.
Yeah, this girl is definitely an exception....the law students at UM do not generally look like this. Sorry, boys.
Anybody got a new link to the video or a photo of this chick?
Anybody got a new link to the video or a photo of this chick?
if you think the video is bad...you should see what she wears to class.
All those haters who trash miami look like fools.
The video isnt far off, however i have yet to see the sword in class.....
Wow, looks like the video already got pulled - but you can check out her myspace page at http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=149764768
10:33 - the funny thing is that while hot girls may go to Miami, they will, in the end, be sleeping with guys who went to better schools not your TTT. Sorry.
9:55 - because you go to a t14 school? just a guess.
She doesn't smoke or drink. I'll pass.

maybe they can be friends?
She is not that hot. With the right lighting and makeup they can make Kirsten Dunst look hot. Come on people look a little closer. What is wrong with all of you?
Two general comments:
1) I would much rather employ a woman who takes the time to prepare herself to confront the world. It is easy to take shots at someone's appearance, but at least this lady made an attempt to maintain herself. It's the people who show up without makeup wearing sweatpants and sweatshirts that indicate a particular level of slothfulness that is unacceptable for potential hires.
2) Those who want to hang on to the reputation of their schools for the rest of their life will be extremely disappointed once they enter the real world. The only time I have been asked where I was graduating from was during my first job interview. The to wit question is: can you get the job done? Going to a top 20 school might open some doors but does nothing to advance your client's cause in court and says very little about your potential success as an attorney.
I'd hit it.
DON'T get me started on the men in law school.

1:08 - yes, the better school opens doors, which subsequently opens more doors, etc., etc. We are speaking in generalities here of course, but just look at the resumes of partners in the top firms and I think you will notice a trend, the representation of law school alumni increases dramatically as you move from T1 in general, to top 20, to top 14, to top 6, to top 3. No one was suggesting a non-top law school could not serve their clients interests well, or that the girl would ask where you graduated law school from in determining whether to date you. But instead, the issue is that if you went to a top school you are more likely to make top pay at a top shop and this certainly does not hurt with the ladies, because we all know that money (and to some extent prestige) does matter, sorry. Also, while no one may have asked where you went to law school, I can guarantee that whenever you apply for a job at a firm, you list your law school and the interviewer probably looks at this.
too bad for the UM hater but a great number of partners at the top national firms in Miami are UM alum.
Plus I have met enough ivy law grads with busted ugly ass wives - start by looking at some of the wives of your profs (the ones who aren't Gay)... nasty
this girl is no way indicative of our school. we have much hotter chicks
the 1L "hater" wasn't hating...you read it the wrong way. i was with her when she commented and she was saying ummm dont really think we dress like skanks...as in umm sorry I don't think we dress like skanks in response to the abovethelaw blurb at the top saying 1Ls have dressed skankier this year. she wasn't saying umm please don't think we dress like skanks at miami. relax.
the 1L "hater" wasn't hating. you misunderstood her. i was with her when she posted and she was saying umm don't think we dress like skanks as in...umm I don't think we dress like skanks. it was in response to the abovethelaw blurb saying that 1Ls have dressed skankier than usual this year. she wasn't saying please don't think we dress skanky. relax. if anything she is on your side.

I love it. This chick sucks.
i've seen this girl on campus! every time i do, my jaw drops because i'm more and more disgusted by what she wears to school. (ps- she needs to learn about proactiv!!)
