Who would you like to see in an All-Star Cycle of American's Next Top Model? I am assuming that they would exclude winners and that Top Models who "made it" wouldn't bother trying out. (ie Toccara, Mollie Sue). Also that they would have about 10 Top Models in the cycle representing a bunch of different seasons:

My List:
-Catie from Cycle 2- Because I think she would've been amazing if she was a bit more mature
-Jade from Cycle 6- I know she would be really old (for a model) and probably wouldn't win, but OMG She was hilarious!
-Bre from Cycle 5- So talented.
-Isis from Cycle 11- She was at a major disadvantage during her cycle and would do much better now.
-Fo from Cycle 12- She was Amazing. She should have won!
-Tiffany from Cycle 4- Pleaseee. We all wanted you to make it!
-Kahlen from Cycle 4- she should have won, except she didn't have the personality that Naima had.
-Jael from Cycle 8- Crazy, but we all want to see her again...
-Kim from cycle 5-Probably wouldn't do it, but she was the best of the androgynous models
-Heather from cycle 9- Not sure why, but she always intrigued me.
(only saw some of Cycle 1, 9 and 13)

Other Possible Top Model Allstars:
-Norelle from cycle 3, Fatima from cycle 10, Anya from Cycle 10, Brittany from cycle 4, Nik from cycle 5, Nnenna from cycle 6, and Lisa from cycle 5

Hopefully they will do at least a "mini cycle" and that's not part of the Tyra Show and has a modeling contract and cover as a prize. They should also do a truncated casting process like during the normal seasons where the "top models" have to go before the panel and say what they've been up to and why they deserve a second chance...

I've noticed this being talked about in the comments section a tad, but I wanted to bring it up to see what people thought.

( Spoilery, as it talks about the winner )

Hey all.

I was watching a lot of different Top Model episodes today. I was wondering what everyone's favorite challenge (from any cycle) is.

Personally, I LOVE the church fashion show from cycle 6. Jade and Joanie are two of my favorite contestants ever and I think they both worked it at that challenge.

The new layout featuring the Cycle 13 winner is up. Comments go here. If anyone has usability suggestions, I will do my best to accommodate.

Thanks, and I hope you enjoy it.

Go to her spring 09 stuff, I'm 99.9% sure its her

From YBF:

She’s got a new man (Rasual Butler from the L.A. Clippers), and now she’s got a new reality show. YBF has learned that former “America’s Next Top Model” contestant and “Celebrity Fit Club” contestant Toccara Jones has landed her own reality show on the Oxygen channel.

The show will follow the YBF chick on her daily model/actress/tv personality grind. And we get to get a peek into what she does on the daily. And maybe even her life as an NBA girlfriend. Out of all the reality foolishness currently out there, I think this one will be a cute one. We here she’s shooting the pilot as we speak. I’ll be watching…


Will you watch it?

Look who I spotted on Yves Rodic's (aka The Facehunter) journal...

Holy Photoshop.....:/

This may be a silly question, but I've been wondering about this for quite a while.

When did the ANTM photoshoots go from being ads for specific products, to just photoshoots entirely produced for the show only? I recall a large majority of the earlier cycles' photoshoots being advertisements, specifically Cycles 1-4. Not EVERY shoot was an ad, but many of them were -- diamonds, cellphones, Lubriderm moisturizer, etc. And, a follow-up question -- were these ads ever circulated, or used beyond the show in any capacity?

I can't recall exactly when the advertisement photoshoots ended, but I don't remember there being many, or any at all, in Cycles 5 or 6.

To be honest, I rather enjoyed these photoshoots, because they were actually quite realistic as to the type of work the models could expect once they left the show. The non-advertisement shoots are useful too, as they emulate editorial spreads, but it's less likely ANTM girls will land spreads like these -- if they do, they'll be rare. It's a good idea to learn to shill product in a photo, and do it in a fierce way. These shoots lended the show a crucial iota of legitimacy, which it is sorely lacking now.

Video Interview with Erin for Chicago's WGNtv



( Embedded video after the cut )

Tyra comes out with 80's hair.

( The rest of the Tyra Show C13 Finale in all it's pointlessness.... )

And that was it. -_-;; I wish it had been more of a reunion show. Anywho, as Tyra closed the show... FIERCE AND LOVE TO YOU.

I couldn't find a video link but there was no mistaking that Yaya (Cycle 3) was in a Kohl's commercial and she even had a speaking role. But definitely look out for it. Wondering if anyone else has seen it?

Photo of the week: Nicole

Who will be the first petite model to be named America's Next Top Model? Will it be Kentucky country girl Laura or Colorado cutie Nicole? It could go either way, and the final runway challenge may just be the deciding factor in who wins the coveted title. Or it could be decided when the two finalists shoot their CoverGirl commercial. Laura would seem to be at a disadvantage with her thick hillbilly accent, but poor speech hasn't derailed some past winners. One thing is for certain: They both take stunning photos.

I saw this McCormick commercial the other day and I SWEAR the "mom" in it is McKey Sullivan! I don't know for sure, but it looks a heck of a lot like her!
