TOP MODEL CONTESTANTS - Spring 2008
TOP MODEL CONTESTANTS - Spring 2009So is anyone else following what’s going on with this pending season of America’s Next Model? I mean, I’ve been appalled at the masses of people going out for the show. Why in the hell should this audition have brought out nearly 3000 women in one city? You know why? Because people heard the terms “..smaller than 5’7” and flocked to the show. Now ladies, I need for some people to remember this. Just because you’re “..smaller than 5’7 “ doesn’t mean you can just get up from your couch and go to the show. No, you need to ask yourself do you still meet the requirements. There are still credentials you must have that take precedence of the height specifics. It seems like people heard the 5’7 height element and forgot they needed to have the other element like, um, maybe…being cute.
I would especially like to use this opportunity to go after the friends of these people. Ya’ll know who you are. You had a friend who said she was trying out because she met the height requirement but you didn’t do your job and respond accordingly. Below is what happened versus what SHOULD’VE happened to dwindle that 3000 figure down to 250.
This is how a majority of the conversations across the nation went:
Friend: Hey girl! Guess what?!
You: What?
Friend: ANTM only wants models “..smaller than 5’7” on their next show!! And guess what?!
You: What?
Friend: I’m going…I really have a chance since I'm 5’7!!
You: Oh, great! I’m happy for you…good luck! You got this gurl! (and then following up with a high-five)
This is how it should’ve went:
Friend: Hey girl! Guess what?!
You: What? Friend: AMTM only wants models “..smaller than 5’7” on their next show. And guess what?!
You: Wait…before you continue, you’re not thinking of going…are you??
Friend: Yes, why? I shouldn’t? I mean..
You: No man, you definitely shouldn’t.
Friends of these women—it was your job to be real and you didn’t. You knew they weren’t model material and it would be a cold day in hell before they got picked for the TV hit. Next time, do America a favor. Do what must be done so we don’t have 2 helicopters on scene, 50 members of law enforcement (for you hood folks: po-po), and 4 catfights in line involving women that really do resemble actual felines.
Hoping to never see this phase of history repeat itself,
Vanessa
