America's Next Top Models Make Modeling Look Paintful

FabSugar — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 12:00:22 -0700

The photoshoot in last night's episode of America's Next Top Model looked like a page out of Dolce & Gabbana's Spring '08 ad campaign, only the paint was on the models' faces and not dresses! The girls had to literally put on their game faces and strike a pose with paint dripping down their eyes, cheeks, and mouths - sounds like fun to me. Some were distracted by the wet paint, while others embraced the ooey gooeyness of it all. My favorites were Lauren (left) and Anya (right), even though the judges told her that her eyes weren't strong enough. Have a look and tell me who your favorites were!

Should America's Next Top Model Screen Candidates Making Sure They Have a Genuine Interest in Fashion?

FabSugar — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 05:00:22 -0800

Just when I was beginning to get bored with America's Next Top Model, Tyra and her crew did a little switcharoo. Thank you! First they took the production to New York - smart move - then, they brought on old-school Czech model Paulina Porizkova as a guest judge. Though the caliber of models still isn't great, there are a couple with high-fashion potential. But more on that later. Let's talk about quitter Kim from Worcester, New York. What the bleep? How can you want to be a model when you don't like, much less live and breathe, fashion?

On several occasions, she expressed not believing in paying an obscene amount on clothes. Tyra told her that "one don't need to spend a lot of money to love fashion," duh! Still, it wasn't enough to convince Kim to stay. Because of what happened last night, do you think ANTM should screen candidates to make sure they have a genuine interest in fashion?

America's Next Top Model (Sorta)

GiggleSugar — Mon, 01 Oct 2007 11:30:00 -0700

Anyone who's a fan of ANTM will appreciate this little parody. From the "large and in charge" Tyra looking down on the models standing before her, to the flamingo-inspired walks these gals parade down the runway, to the public breakdowns and tantrums, to the greatly distorted and retouched photographs shown at the end of each show, this remake has it all. Only it's funnier. Believe it or not.

America's Next Top Model Auditions Get Dangerous

GiggleSugar — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 08:26:54 -0700

The streets were littered with headshots and high heels. Someone shouted "guns" and even "bombs." Women lost their purses, but thankfully, no one lost her life. A John Waters movie, you ask? Nope. Just another Saturday in New York when ladies in line to audition for America's Next Top Model created a melee that required police reinforcement and ambulances. All just to have Tyra force them into tragic haircuts while telling 'em to smile with their eyes. Me? I'd stand in line to audition for Cleveland's Next Top Model. That's waaaay cooler.

Heyyy...More Planet Unicorn!

"Planet Unicorn" is back and better than ever! In this episode, our flamboyant unicorn friends are inspired to become models after watching an episode of "America's Next Top Model." With their good looks, do you blame them? The problem is: there are three of them and only one can "be on top." Can their friendship survive the competition, or will the catwalk end in a planet unicorn cat fight?...Not if Tyra can help it. Enjoy! (Thanks, Best Week Ever!)

Which Versace Gown Was Your Favorite on the America's Next Top Model Finale?

FabSugar — Fri, 16 May 2008 07:00:22 -0700

I don't want to give too much away, but I was quite surprised by the judges' decision on America's Next Top Model finale show. If you want to know the winner, refer to BuzzSugar. Here, let's focus on what's most important: the Versace gowns Donatella handpicked for the runway show. They were all beauties and I have to say, Anya and Whitney wore them better than well. But is it me or did Whitney get the more eye-catching dresses? Still, Anya dazzled in her metallic number, as did Whitney in her pink. Both frocks matched the girls' modeling personalities, but out of the four, which Versace gown was your favorite?

Which America's Next Top Model Was the Fiercest Warrior?

FabSugar — Thu, 01 May 2008 15:00:08 -0700

Last night's episode of America's Next Top Model was aptly named "We are Spartans!" The remaining five girls - Fatima, Dominique, Katarzyna, Anya, and Whitney - channeled their inner warriors, first by getting gladiator-fighting lessons, and then by dressing the part. I quickly learned that there's a vast difference between how authentic of a warrior they looked and how they actually performed. Like, Fatima appeared a pretty warrior princess, but fought like a stiff, old man. Dominique looked hard but posed too delicately. Anya nailed both the look and the act. She looked good and used all the gladiator moves she had been taught. Which ANTM do you think was the fiercest warrior?
