take THAT tyra banks
okay... i've decided i like my blog again. I kinda wasn't speaking to it for a while because i was annoyed at how honest it was making me be. I never intended to reveal so much of my heart and my life on the internet!!!
I am speechless (almost... you all know it would take a lot to completely rid me of speech!) after watching "America's next top model"
I just wanna make that noise that disgruntled teenage girls make... the one where you tell them that they can't leave youth group to have a smoke... its kinda this outraged gasp, goes with open mouth and raised eyebrows ..um... *agh* (hopefully you know what i mean)
Anyway, on this model program, there were 12 girls vying to be a supermodel, and their first assignment was to get naked and be painted with bodypaint. And get photographed, and pose with naked males. Awesome first assignment. *sardonic snort* (sarcasm, that was)
And this one girl is married, with a son, and a christian. And she wasn't comfortable with it, so she refused. And the male photographer very kindly offered to air brush the finished pictures so you couldnt see any you-know, and to make sure she had a robe. Very nice of him, wouldnt you agree? But she wouldn't do it.
And the next day when all the girls had to go see the 4 judges did they ever give her hell. As soon as she walked into the room they abused her. One of them said in this nasty voice, "is it your religion?". and they were really rude to her. Called her a plus-size model (she is smaller than me, and im not overweight), and said she had an attitude problem. I was mucho angry. And in the end, they decided to get rid of her. Because she actually had morals and standards... (go to Nathans blog for more discussion on morals)
Anyways, this girl maintained that her body was for her husband, not for the whole world to see. She told the judges that she will always endeavour to be Christ-like, which they snorted at. But i'm damn proud of her. Who cares if some small-minded people can't accept that somebody can have decent standards and a goal of purity? One little New zealand girl sees her as a 'top model' even if no one else does. =)

You should send her a fan e-mail! And tell the producers that the judges are sucky!
Bob from radio rhema has this thing where if there are dodgy tv programmes on you see which companies advertise in the ad-breaks, then you write or ring them and tell them you won't be buying their product until they stop supporting the programme.
I should do that, lol!
i also wanted to add that there was another girl, and the judges looked at her picture and said "looks like she's got too many teeth for her mouth" and Tyra Banks said "nothing that can't be fixed"
I would like to quote from a letter to the editor in May's readers digest, we are "an image crazy world that leads us to believe we need 'extreme makeovers', and gay wardrobe coordinators..."
how true is that!! A model is not naturally beautiful anymore, it is how much air brushing is done on her finished pictures, and how much cosmetic surgery she has had, bringing her closer to 'perfection'...
who's tyra banks anyway?
nice ;)
She's a supermodel.... quite strange looking... has really cat-like green eyes, and long-ish straight ginger hair (at the moment) i would say she's of african ethnicity (how do you say that in a politically correct way?)
Lol yeah, but basically she's one of the worlds top supermodels...
good that you haven't heard of her. That'll teach her.
