Oh boy oh boy — another America's Next Top Model finale has come and gone, and once again we have a winner who's sufficient, in my opinion. No matter which way you slice it, the top three this year were all nice girls who came with unique strengths. And I'm just going to say it: Tyra's hair during the first panel looked like a dead poodle. It was not good. But I digress. The night wasn't too Read more

Last night's photo shoot on America's Next Top Model made me laugh because although I'm used to Tyra and Co.'s idea of what is "high fashion" and what counts as "fierce," the more I stare at these photos, the funnier they get. I mean, there are windmills. And pitchforks. And they're in clogs! It's hilariously literal for a shoot in Amsterdam, no? Anyway, it's all part of why I love this silly Read more

Last night's America's Next Top Model was all about the go-sees! I enjoy this episode each season because we get some outside perspective on how much potential these girls actually have in the modeling world, as opposed to what the judges say about them day in and day out. I have my personal favorites this season, and I feel like I was vindicated last night! But more on that in a second. The Read more

Woohoo, America's Next Top Model has landed in Amsterdam, and the girls are divided as a house and back to doing photo shoots! Things are good and dramatic in Tyra-land, my friends. So let's see. It's Elina, Analeigh, and Marjorie vs. McKey, Sheena, and Samantha. Kind of hilarious sides, if you ask me, with the first group being moody and cliquey and "born in Europe"-y and the second being, Read more

Can you guess where the models who survived last night's episode of America's Next Top Model will be heading based on these pictures? I know, it's difficult to pinpoint, what with the subtle and culturally accurate way in which Tyra and gang represented this European country. It's The Netherlands, specifically the region of Holland, specifically the city of Amsterdam. Last night, things got Read more

Even if you didn't watch last night's cycle 11 recap of America's Next Top Model, you'll probably still be able to take a crack at my quiz, because Tyra's narration just took us through some familiar moments from the pretty short season so far. There was some (so-so) never-seen-before footage — including a freestyle rap performance in the hot tub — and some pretty fun Hannah moments (miss Read more

Last night Tyra kept it classy on America's Next Top Model with a photo shoot based on an awards ceremony and all the scenarios that could arise at those glitzy, glamorous galas . . . such as peeing in your gown (see picture below). This was also the episode with Tyra's posing lesson, which was educational for the ladies but totally without drama for the rest of us. Marjorie didn't even have a Read more

Last night's America's Next Top Model was definitely on the "meh" side of things, which is sad because this cycle got off to such a funny, wacky start. Most of the interesting models got kicked off early, leaving a bunch of normal girls who don't appear to be fond of hyperbole. Even Sheena has been oddly subdued. Maybe it's the economy? Oh wait, this was taped a while ago. Sigh. The only real Read more
