Happy Birthday To Me!!!

America's Next Top Model
cycle: 7


I'm very happy this year because America's Next Top Model is going to premier it's new season on my birthday! Yay! I really love this show. It's just about the most fun show to watch in the fall. It is what it is. I love it.

Super model Tyra Banks created the show to show us what the trials and tribulations are for models in today's world. I guess the point is: It's not all glamorous! For those of you that might not be familiar with the show--allow me to break it down for you.

This is a modeling contest. 10 to 14 young ladies are picked out by Ms Banks and are given the chance to compete. Each week they are given a task to perform (usually thing like learning how to walk--stuff like that). The person who performs the task at the most professional level wins a little happy from Tyra. They usually get to pick one or two people to enjoy the happy too.

The next thing they do is a photo shoot with a guest photographer. This is the really important part. They have to have good shots. At the end of the week they stand before the judges and sometimes are asked to perform a quick task for them. It usually has something to do with what they learned that week.


The judges then take them one on one and talk about their best shot. This can get really ugly sometimes. After they grill them they (the judges) send them away and choose to loose one of them. They judges are all affiliated with the modeling world. Three of my favorites are Twiggy, Nigel Barker and the runway coach "Ms" J Alexander.


One model is eliminated and the rest go on to do it all over the next week. The winner gets a $100,00.00 contract with Covergirl Cosmetics, a fashion layout in Elle magazine and a contract with Ford Modeling Agency. Not to mention bragging rights.

Here is a sneak peek at this years lovely models:

In rows from top to bottom:
Megan 23, Monique 19
Christian 19, AJ 20, Amanda 18, Michelle 18
Jaeda 18, Melrose 23, Eugena 21, Caridee 21
Megg 18, Brooke 18, Anchal 19
I know nothing about them but my favorite is Anchal who is in the bottom right hand corner. In the second row from the top...are they twins??? By the way, I put my favorites in green.

I predict Megan to go. They always loose the red heads early!

Here are a few of past winners:

Adrienne Curry

The original winner. She was a little white trash but I liked her a lot. She is engaged to Peter Brady now!

Yoanna House


Former fat girl makes it big! She went on to host a fasion show on E! I think.

Eva Pigford


Known as "Eva the Diva". She was hated by the other girls but really the only one with "Star Quality". She was the best one!

Naima Mora


If she didn't talk it would be better. She annoys me. I think she is pretty though.

Nicole Linkletter


The other girls found her annoying but she always took the best shot!

Danielle Mahoney


She wanted to keep the gap in her front teeth and it almost cost her the win. I adore this woman!

I will be talking about this show once a week...most likely on Thursdays.

More as I know!
