There may be a post or two on another subject, but today is America's Next Top Model day. I do not love the show, but it is fantastic fodder for fashion talk and debate. Stay tuned.
"Cycle" (instead of season) 12 began last night on the CW. I watched it, mostly. (It's a tough job, but somebody's got to watch TV for journalism.) And, well, if you know me, you know I'm brimming with lots to say (and show).
Stay "tuned" (no, to me---who care if you watch that garbage---ha. ha.).
SCROLL DOWN FOR STORIES...
Originlly posted at 1:38 am EST (not server time).
*Update* I had two stories I wanted to post, but I couldn't find the media to go with the comments, there may be one to a few more related posts today, Friday.
No, those are not the same girls. Some of you followers of fashion likely knew (if you remembered) that there were only generic faces back last September for the Abaeté Spring 2009 runway show. (One good thing about the show's model-wannabes is that they have some uniqueness to them, whereas fashion show directors often aim to create a solitary *look*.)
So Abaeté got some advertising and didn't even have to risk amateurs walking down their Fashion Week runway.
I actually say, "tsk tsk" -- and also I had wanted to show the clip of Isabella facing and conquering some adversity with those strobe lights. I was impressed, although I know many do think it should stop her hopeful career in its tracks. (I will try to find a video of this scene, I cannot yet.)
What do you think about the completely different runway show (forgive me for not knowing if this series is taped much more recently, and in that case, too early for Fall 2009 New York Fashion Week??) -- is this just me slightly overblowing a non-issue?
A sampling of this season's contestants on America's Next Top Model.
It's a trick question.Sorry. I really, truly am. This Top Model season/cycle's (or perhaps in general, and most in the modeling world) "plus" sized model is on the thin side of average, looks better than most American women---almost looks as skinny as the other America's Next top Model contestants and in some shots precisely as thin. To top it all off, it's a very bad thing for America's youth and even adult women in our society.
I know I would have to go on the supermodel's diet to look as fit as this model. (Granted, her height does "help" her, as with most plus-sized models.)
