Peeing Glamorously

Bravo Marjorie!



I'm glad to see her back on her awkward horse (and being less whiny).

I was surprised at the bottom two (didn't expect Lauren Brie there) and downright shocked to see Sheena stay.

ANTM: Ding Dong The Witch is Dead!

Well, she outlived the tranny by a week...I suppose that will be of some comfort to why-in-the-hell-was-she-even-there, over-confident contestant, Clarke.

This week, the gals had to portray natural disasters. Most did fine enough.
Samantha stepped up her game, giving fierce tidal wave.


Swoooosh!

With Clarke gone, Jocelyn now seems to hang by a thread.

In the meantime, once judges'-darling, Marjorie is becoming tres-annoying.

Tuck, and Roll With It

I'm sad that ANTM's first-ever tranny contestant was sent packing last night.
As much as I enjoyed the greater picture of Isis being there, I do think it was a fair decision on the part of the judges.
She faded quickly, letting her fear of bathing suit challenges (for obvious reasons) get the better of her. Two in a row delivered a fatal blow from which she didn't really stand a chance of bouncing back. Ironically this challenge was all about the eyes.

If Isis wishes to continue modeling, she will have to learn to just "roll with it". Chances are (if she's still pre-op) her client will know her situation and allow for necessary "adjustments". Due to her body type, I seriously doubt she would be booked for many swimwear jobs anyway.

But Tyra opened an important door when she included Isis in this competition. I guarantee thousands of young transgendered women will be lining up at ANTM casting calls for years to come. Let us not forget, that it took 5 (I think) tries and 10 cycles to get a plus-sized winner. These things don't happen overnight. There will probably be a transgendered winner if the show runs long enough...I predict she will be post-op, however.

Good luck Miss Isis!

ANTM: Makeovers and Swim Suits

Most Improved: Samantha (That haircut is vicious!)


Simply beautiful.



Most Grateful For: Isis not poppin' her candy during the swim suit shoot!


No volleyball for me, thank you.

ANTM Week 2: Hooch-n-Tranny

Week 2 and already plenty of drama.

I guess it's to be expected when you throw together a transitioning transgendered person and small town mentalities into close quarters. It was nice to see Isis and Analeigh bond a bit. The scene where she was distracting Isis during her hormone treatment was actually quite sweet.

Sheena's fake breast denial/confession was an interesting turn of events.
Unfortunately I'm still seeing Sheena as more Maxim than Vogue. Her ability to hold on steadily to the rope ladder without using her hands during the shoot only reinforced this.

And speaking of the shoot, Lauren ROCKED it!


Hangin' FIERCELY!

I felt somewhat bad for Nikeysha. She's clearly a mess, but seems genuinely sweet.
I just hope she eats something.

PS.
Whitney Thompson's "My Life as a Covergirl" commercials are the best of any other winner so far. Just lovely.

The"Better Late than Never " Model Post

Ok so I FINALLY got a chance to watch the full premier.

Wow, the way some of those girls treated Isis really saddened me. I so often (wrongly) assume that girls (especially young ones) are automatically so much more accepting of "alternative" people and situations.
You have to laugh (or worry) about the conversation that took place poolside, where the one girl ( I believe it was Clark) says to the other something to the effect of: "I don't look at it as being ignorant. We just come from a traditional background." The heckling of Isis during her shot was probably one of the saddest moments of all 11 cycles. Isis, however, proved herself a true lady, and remaining focused, snatched second place!

My "Early Pick" Top 5:

Marjorie (VERY Agnes Deyn, one of the current top "it" girls in the industry)

Isis (Her knowledge of light source and angles so far is impressive)

Elina (very Shalom Harlow)

Brittany

The 5th spot is a toss up between Lauren and McKey.


Runner ups:

Samantha (I've never been a fan of the Brinkley/Tieg types, but there's potential there)

Sheena (purely on personality...so far). She does have a rockin body.

PS.
Clark must be destroyed!

Dropping the Model Ball

Someone who shall remain nameless, who normally watches the show with me (:::cough, cough, Ron, cough:::) didn't feel like watching tonight. I figured, "no problem" since I had (or thought I did) the dvr all set to record last night's premier of Top Model.

Guess what? The little orange "R" was there, but it didn't record.
So I only caught the last 30 minutes of the show.

This means I did not see enough of the show to be even adequately bitchy.

I will briefly, then, focus on Isis, who everyone should know by now, is ANTM's first ever transgendered contestant.



I was thrilled to see her called second on her photo where she portrayed "privacy". I have great hopes that she will make it far in the competition, maybe even to the finale! I want her to go as far as she can (provided she continues to produce good photos, of course) because while it is groundbreaking that she is being included in the competition, I very much doubt Covergirl is ready for a transgendered spokesmodel representing their wholesome brand.
Not to mention the anticipated backlash over a tranny cover and spread possibly being discussed at Seventeen Magazine headquarters at this very moment. LOL!

They're baaaack!

September 3rd.
If you enjoy my Project Runway recaps...get ready.



It's best y'all start praying now.
