America's Top Model
Never saw one second of that show until tonight. All I can say is ... WOW! Thank goodness I am a hobbyist and have no desire whatsoever to be a professional photographer! If THOSE are even a pale refelction of the kind of nimrods that populate the "real" fashion world ... Bwah, ha, ha, ha! What LOSERS! Oh, please tell me that is all fake and made up for television. The judges are a bunch of jokes and parodies and stereotypes of the fashion industry; Hilarious gay bois and in-the-closet metrosexuals and some stuck-up withered hag? The models themselves are vapid and annoying. And Tyra? Holy crap. Her "wisdom and sensitivity speeches" are the WORST acting and load of horsedung I've seen in ages. I had no idea what that show was like! I feel so out-of-the-loop and behind-the-times. Who knew it was a comedy? People actually watch this manure? Damn, that was funny.

I dunno who the hell "Mr. Jay" is because I never saw the lame show before. Nov 26 06 04:19 am Link E|||B wrote: ROTFLMAO....... Not only do they watch it but they BELIEVE IT!!!! It's UN-reality TV at it's very worst. Nov 26 06 04:23 am Link E|||B wrote: Who's the in the closest metrosexual? Nigel Barker? He's not metro, just British...hehe Nov 26 06 04:23 am Link anyone else wonder why the bull was in the ring when in the final photos they photshopped him in somewhere else? Why did he need to be in there with them? Just to make the chance of someone being really hurt that much more? Nov 26 06 04:59 am Link to see if the models are up to taking chances and show that they are prepared to do ANYTHING for a good shot. And the shows are worth watching : especially when you are into editorial high fashion-photography. but for each his/her own Nov 26 06 11:06 am Link Damn you, Eric.. I know you're the devil, but you will NOT make me watch! Nov 26 06 11:13 am Link E|||B wrote: Are you fucking kidding? Twiggy is gorgeous! She has aged so beautifully. She hasn't gone the route of "I always have to look perfect so I'm going to get surgery on everything that starts to slip." Nov 26 06 11:28 am Link Yes, people actually watch that manure. And yes, it's definitely made up. They recently fired all their writers after the Writers Guild joined ANTM writers on the picket line. Now their writers are called editors or segment producers, or some such, but they're still making that crap up. Nov 26 06 12:31 pm Link i actually love that show. - its like watching the real world to me ha- but.. i do watch it to get tips- like on posing and just to hear what the judges have to say. ya- alot of it might be bull- but i feel thay do give some real good tips sometimes... am i alone here? Nov 26 06 12:36 pm Link Oh. Nov 26 06 12:37 pm Link Nitasha wrote: Tips on posing: read a book! Any book. If you were "natural" (1 in a mil) - you'd be signed by now. Nov 26 06 01:04 pm Link Star wrote: YES!! I was wondering the same damn thing. I thought using the bull period was well....you know! Nov 26 06 01:07 pm Link Whew! Okay. Good. Glad to hear so many others think the show is a laughable crock of vomit too. That restores a LITTLE of my faith in the intellect of humanity. And for those few folks who actually think the show is useful, you have all given me a good laugh. So, in my universe, you kids are at least worthy of being jesters who amuse me. Nov 26 06 01:51 pm Link Tyra's speeches are the absolute worst. I don't even watch that part of the show. I usually only watch the shoots because they do some amazing make up on those girls. Other than that, that show is nothing but drama Nov 26 06 01:56 pm Link my "Storm Reborn" was actually inspired by the first show of last season  (where the girls posed as and with mannequin dolls) (ps :for more photo's with "storm" as a mannequin doll check out my website) glad to have made you laugh E|||B  Nov 26 06 02:46 pm Link E|||B wrote: I saw a couple episodes and yeah, it's just a stereotype of the fashion world. They can't just have a man, he has to be a gay man. And he can't just be a gay man, he has to be the west hollywood accented drama gay man. And if that's not enough, they have a black man who thinks he's a woman(no, I'm talking about Tyra!!). Nov 26 06 02:57 pm Link E|||B wrote: omg...Dyan makes me want to vomit!! heh...no, I don't like her at all. And seeing naked on Ally McBeal almost caused me to go blind.

Nov 26 06 04:17 pm Link True, but still nice to see how it goes (and there is more to see from behind the scenes via the antm website) The concepts they use are for me very useable because i can use these idea's and develop my own that way.. everybody does things his/her own way i guess Nov 26 06 08:35 pm Link I think Twiggy looks better than most of the nipped, tucked, botoxed hags in the industry.  Nov 26 06 08:41 pm Link i love ANTM but havent watched this season's yet. been too busy watching top chef,lol. Nov 26 06 08:45 pm Link I've watched the last 2 seasons, the pictures turn out amazing and they always have something different. Sure they pick certain people just to make you watch and they alwayz have at least one bad-attitude person that they keep on way to long... but in the end you can learn interesting poses and see different makeup and outfits they do. Oh and you can't forget they alwayz give a little info on different people they work with. yes it is a joke, but its fun to watch:) Nov 26 06 08:49 pm Link I like the show a lot. I've watched all 6 seasons of ANTM,then 2 seasons from Australian,2 from England and 1 from Germany and Canada.Germany's version was the best and Canada's was the lamest one. The show has a lot of flaws,but it's a show and there has to be drama and all that stuff. There's a lot that I've learned from there. Nov 26 06 09:07 pm Link Same here Demim, havent you seen the dutch "Hollands Next Top Model"? It was a pain to watch. the shoots didnt even come close to what they do in ANTM. Comparing the american VS the dutch version; the dutch version can go right in the bin. PS: @ Lamonica : that photo of Twiggy is way too edited Nov 26 06 09:47 pm Link Dennis Veldman wrote: im suprised they haven't sued the shit out of hollands next top model for stealing their idea. unless of course it is by the same folks.

I like the photo sessions part to see how professional photographers work... Nov 26 06 10:37 pm Link Star wrote: The live bull was there to add drama to ANTM. I was told years ago that the bulls used in bullfighting in Spain were kept in pens so that they did not get exercise and were way out of shape when they faced the bullfighter. So what they did was run the bull around the ring a few times to tire him out and then place him at the other side of the bullring. Although intrigued by the models and cameraman, he would not charge that far unless some special motion caught his eye. They probably ran him around again after each model or couple of models to keep him tired out. Nov 26 06 10:39 pm Link HAHA!!!! Totally Agree!

Regardless of any personal feelings, these people (Tyra, Jay, Twiggy, Nigel) have made it to the top in their fields and if nothing else, that should be respected because every 2nd person thinks they can do it and very few make it anywhere near. So, yeah, I love the show too Nov 27 06 02:21 am Link Dennis Veldman wrote: Well, she looks the same to me on the show. Radiant.... she is letting herself age (unlike most people in the industry) very gracefully, IMO. I think we're sooo used to seeing plastic surgery junkies, that we forget what a real woman her age is supposed to look like. Nov 27 06 02:27 am Link I do and don't like the show. It seems like the same critiques are always given out, and in my opinion, a lot of the girls I felt were doing the best didn't even make top 5. But what do I know? Has anyone ever watched Tyra's show? I mean she's a beautiful women, but seriously, not everyone is made for hosting. She had one show on how the industry exploits young women by promising them big deals when it's just sleezy photographers trying to get nude shots. Uh DUH! lol Nov 27 06 02:40 am Link Not at all. I think it's a great insight into the real modeling world. By no means want I ridicule anybody... but this statement makes me wanna Nov 27 06 02:42 am Link UdoR wrote: Richard was the bomb! So sad Nov 27 06 02:53 am Link I seen a few seconds of an episode of the show a few days ago. Those girls didn't look like models to me. I remember watching the first season. That was good. Nov 27 06 03:11 am Link Star wrote: LOL! I tottally agree. They did all that for the hell of making a good show. It seems they wasted more time cause they had to photo shop the bull's orignal spot out and put it somewhere else. Nov 27 06 03:28 am Link e-string wrote: I've never seen a former model age bad. LOL! Maybe its just special "supermodel" genes. Well minus Janice Dickinson although I love that chick she has aged miserably (mainly from all the surgery) Nov 27 06 03:30 am Link |
He made my sleepless nights far too much fun.....:haha!
