Top Model: Fake It Til You Make It - 3:37 p.m.
Top Model - Monique

The first two week's of Top Model and the finale are a must. Just so when looking around at party fliks, that new smiling face is recognized, 'look, there's Eva and Toccara, again.' Outside of the show prize, does it go any further than that? Those two in particular seem to have won VIP passes to every club in the country. That's what you get as a parting gift. Toccara didn't even win, but she was a likable gal (haha. yeah I said .. gal), representing the meaty boned girls, she got the Clay Aiken consolation prize pack.

Luv yall, like people I don't know.. just pointing out the obvious.

There won't be any big girl winners this season, the majority of the girls last night were toothpick thin. When you go from looking at pictures of Mya (those legs) or even Ashanti, there's just something disturbingly anorexic about these Top Models.

You get over it though. Everyone knows models eat crackers for dinner and step on the scale after every bite. If you want to be in it you've got slim it or vomit, whatever works best. There was no one girl you could look at, first show, and tag them as the next in the club. There were standouts in Anchal doing if for the exotic clan, the twins were bumping into each other like Opey and Dopey in the first meeting with Tyra, but they took great pictures, best eyes, goes to AJ.

It seems no matter how obviously beautiful a girl is, they are self-conscious about their looks. That's what pimp la familia prey on. Anchal with blue contacts, thinking somehow it's makes her skin two tones lighter - that's a common thing with darker skinned people of any race. Never mind that she's nowhere near dark, it's the power of the American culture where white is bright: thinking, shining, the shit. There were no definites but if Anchal can summon some cojones, she'll make it far in the show.
One girl who completely annoyed me was Monique. There she was in the first meeting, teary eyed, talking about how she was teased in her family for being a dark-skinned girl. How it's affected her so much, and she is basically looking to prove that she's a beautiful woman by making it in the entertainment/fashion field.

Tyra gave her a mercy pass and she made it to the final 13. Not two minutes later - in TV time - she's propped up on 'her' bed like the Queen of Sheba. Claiming it by spilling water on the sheets like a cat. Then she's just throwing attitude at everyone like she's entitled to everything: she'll do things only her way, doesn't care what anyone else thinks. A clip from next week showed her hogging the house phone - because it's all about her. What happened to the little victimized girl with low self-esteem?

Tyra has a soft spot for girl's with troubled histories. Show an ounce of ability with 2/3's hard luck and you'll gain some extra chance points. While Monique watched the previous seasons from home, she decided if she got on she'd throw this poor lil me act to get ahead. Either that or at night she talks to that other person in her body named Evil Genius. Unless her attitude shows up during competitions, she'll be able to fake it as far as possible.

Can't stand a bratty attitude. Hopeful someone locks her in a tanning room and watches her get Flavor Flav black.
