Schoolgirl gone Model

I completely forgot that I had two entries to do this week. I watched America's Next Top Model on Wednesday and altogether forgot to write a blog about it. Insert stereotype: Blond moment!
Anyways, in this episode, the eccentric Miss J, who cracks me up every single time I watch this show, meets the girls at a highschool and teaches them how to walk as he always does, because he is the "runway diva." Yes folks for any of you that don't watch this show, Miss J is a man, but he has a pair of the nicest legs I've ever seen. You seem them often when he teaches the girls how to properly walk as he wears his nice dresses and high heels.

Going back to the show, the lesson on walking had a little twist this time around. The girls were put into groups of three in a line and each girl in a certain spot had to walk to her own position. They all had to walk together but in the middle of the runway they had to separate: the two on the outside had to criss-cross while the middle girl had to stop and wait until the two came back, crisscrossed again, until she could walk forward and make her pose. Then she would walk back to the outer two now waiting for her and all three would walk out together. Sounds a bit complicated, but really, if you remembered where your spot was, you'd be fine. The girls did pretty well with Miss J, but when it came time to the real deal on a runway, featuring prom, for the highschool students, the girls missed their spots and kept running into each other. One of the girls, Sarah, actually had her breasts hanging out of one of her dresses and made absolutely no move to cover herself. She said later that she wasn't going to let that get in her way of doing a good job. Well, that's all fine and dandy except that she was doing this for highschoolers and that is so inappropriate for that kind of setting.

The actual photo shoot also took place at the highschool. The girls were given a highschool cliche, some of which included the nerd, the cheerleader, the weird one, the class clown, etc. This is what I love most about the show, the photo shoots. They are always so beautiful and I absolutely love makeup. Some of the girls like Jael, who I like more and more each week, and Jaslene and Brittany are starting to shine and some of the girls aren't, like Renne, who I'm disliking the more I hear her speak, because all she does is complain and blame anything but herself for a bad walk or a bad photo shoot, and Samantha and Natasha, who were the bottom two this week. They both have beautiful faces but no personality. In the end, Tyra thought Samantha just needed more time and she was sent home.

I think next week is the week for the makeovers, and I can't wait for that episode!
