America's Next Top Model

This week, or rather last week...on ANTM the girls were sent to a room with a name, Lesley Hornby, and then Twiggy walked in. I thought to myself, oh, that must be her name, right off the bat. Twiggy had to say it for the girls, which I found sort of amusing. I thought it was cute how she got her name, though. My mom used to like Twiggy and I had always wondered how she had come up with the name. Well, turns out, she didn't make it up, her friends called her Twiggy because she was so thin. She started modeling at 15! I think that's crazy, but if you can do it, I guess go for it. I like nicknames and I like when I hear people calling their friends their nicknames. They're very personal. My friends have never given me a nickname, well actually, my friend Nora has come up with a few, hence my blog title...Amanda Panda Pants...now anyone who knew me would know that I would NEVER call myself that. She has also named me Lilmanderz...which I also found ridiculous, but it's my email address. Why put up with it? She's one of my best friends and she thought it up for me, so why not? Anyways, I digress.

Back to the whole name situation, Twiggy brought in Melrose from last season (who I couldn't stand) because Melrose came from Melissa and Rose. So the girls were asked to make up their own names in a couple of minutes. They came up with some pretty interesting ones. They were told to make a good one, though, because they were going to a celebrity party and were meeting Tyra's former manager, Benny Medina. Dionne came up with Houlahay and Renee came up with Nayiem and when she introduced herself to Benny, he didn't understand her and thought she was saying name over and over again, it was pretty funny. But oh my, did Jael make a fool out of herself this time. (I don't care though, she's still my favorite model.) She kept her name which I figured was fine, since it's so unique already, but she would not leave 50 cent alone. He finally pushed her in the pool and Natasha, silly girl, jumped in too. They both had to meet Benny drenched and he was not pleased. Dionne wound up impressing Benny the most, even though she had the wackiest name. The girls then did a fun photoshoot where they had to pick four characteristics. It was cool. Jael, Brittney, and Natasha did the best, I think.
