Hey Kids!
I am having a freaking blast because I get to watch whatever I want to watch now. And my mother can't do anything because my exams are over!!! The only downside is that my sister's exams are over too and everyday, we're fighting over who gets to use the laptop and when. But she's at her friend's house today, so i have the computer to myself! YEAH BABY YEAH!
Actually, I have been alternating between watching music videos and America's Next Top Model. Yes, I know. America's Next Top Model! I had always liked watching that show. I don't know why. I think all girls, when they were young, always wanted to become a model. You can see it when they play with their barbie dolls and when they pose with their mother's clothes, lol.
I remember one season airing on Channel 5 (the local TV channel of Singapore) and I really really liked one of the contestants, Allison Harvard! She has the biggest biggest eyes I had ever seen. She was on cycle 12 and I watched a few of the episodes. And completely forgot about ANTM until I saw the advertisement for cycle 19, which is currently airing right now.
So I decided to finish watching the entire of cycle 12. And I have to say, I think Allison Harvard should have won the competition. The winner was Teyona Anderson and she was just as good. But my bias is Allison Harvard :D
That is one of my most favourite photoshoot of Allison's in ANTM. She looked like a baby bird that just hatched out.
I also watched the very first cycle of ANTM because I wanted to see how the cycle 1 was like. And boyy, was it different. ANTM started in 2003. Just by watching the cycle 1 and cycle 12, you can really see the vast difference between the 2 cycles and how much ANTM has grown. In cycle 1 there were only 10 contestants and they were squeezed into a hotel room. I watched cycle 12, the models get a huge apartment to themselves.
Even the fashion was different in both cycles. In 2003, it was all about belly tops/crop tops paired with jeans. In cycle 12, the only time I see the contestants wearing belly tops is when they were in the apartment. Maybe it's just because I have never been to America before, maybe the girls wear belly tops all the time.
But, the only thing consistent were the contestants. There will always be girls bitching about the others. And girls whose personalities annoying the eff out of you no matter what they do. And the catfights. Oh yes, the catfights. I bet they are the serious highlight of the ANTM.
The one other model I like besides Allison Harvard is Elyse Sewell from cycle 1. She came in third. When you watch her in cycle 1, she comes across a bit aloof and condescending at times because she is a medical student and more knowledgeable than the other girls. At one point, she even wanted to quit! But she didn't :D Her straightforwardness can be very entertaining sometimes.
This is one of her photoshoots from ANTM. When you watch the show, she seemed to be less serious than all the girls about the competition, but she can look so effortlessly high-fashion on her photoshoots and her catwalk is very good. Miss Jay Alexander loved her walk from the first time he saw it. I think it was said that she was one of the most successful models from ANTM. Here are a few of her photoshoots after ANTM.
I can see why she is so successful. She is so versatile and so good. I think if she had been less condescending, she could have won the cycle. But Adrianna Curry (the winner of cycle 1) was just as good.
I feel like watching more cycles of ANTM. I have already watched cycle 18. The British invasion one. And I really liked Sophie Sumner, the winner of the cycle. She was so cute and bubbly ;D
Yup, so that's it. Going back to watching more music videos :D
