Modelmode :: my journey through fashion modeling











Yep, its not easy being a supermodel and walking down a slick, slippery catwalk in 6 inch stilettos. This is a compilation video of some very embarrassing stilleto moments and runway spills on the shiny slick fashion catwalks around the world. Check out the model in the giant white… I am not even sure what it is… getup, I can’t believe she did not fall in that. wow, painful to watch. And, there is another runway spill there in the video that looks like a baseball player sliding into home, yikes. Yep, fashion may in fact hurt…your butt that is.

This video also contains a short interview with Ms. Jay Alexander, from ANTM America’s Next Top Model and famous runway coach giving his 2 cents.

So here is the youtube video of the final photo shoot from Wed. nights episode of America’s Next Top Model, hosted by Tyra Banks.

I heard rumors that this may in fact be the last season of this show, not sure how accurate that is. I really do like the TV show and it is still at the top of my Reality TV “top shows” list.

The contestants for cycle 10 of ANTM in the above photo shoot are

Aimee, 18, from Spanaway, Washington
Allison , 18, from Waunakee, Wisconsin

Amis , 20, from Bartlesville, Oklahoma
Anya , 18, from Honolulu, Hawaii
Atalya, 18, from Brooklyn, New York
Claire , 24, from New York City, New York
Dominique , 23, from Columbus, Ohio
Fatima , 21, from Boston, Massachusetts
Katarzyna, 22, from Roslyn, New York
Kimberly, 20, from Worcester, Massachusetts
Lauren , 22, from Brooklyn, New York
Marvita, 23, from San Francisco, California
Stacy Ann , 22, from Hialeah, Florida
Whitney , 20, from Atlantic Beach, Florida 

This comes after Tyra’s Top Models got their makeovers a few weeks back. I love the model makeover they do in every cycle. Its great to see the transformations and… of course the hair cut drama from the models. I still gotta say, I  still can’t believe that there was a Top Model who left the show rather than chop the hair some time back… but the hair chopping reminds me of these cute child models below.

Haha… here is Tyra Banks… again, with one of her righteous lectures. This time on the claim that she was getting a bit chunky. Well, I have watched Tyra’s weight go up and down as she appears on her TV shows, but, really, there is nothing wrong with gaining a few pounds and since she chose her own path to be “in your face” and in the spotlight as a Top Model, she really should not have an issue with reporter comments about her weight issues.

As, Tyra Banks should not be upset that the media comment on it. If she wishes to not be talked about, well then Tyra should give up her shows such as Top Model which are all about being unreasonably thin. When you make a name for yourself as the “Victoria Secret” superstar, don’t feel bad when people comment on you looking like Oprah nowadays.

And hey, considering Oprah is one of the richest and most powerful women in the world, I would not feel too bad about it..

Well Tyra Banks does for one on her Top Modeling show, America’s Next Top Model. I’ve watched the show for many seasons now and have heard her lecture many a top model wanna be about making sure the face always look pretty no matter what crazy thing the body may be doing.

Tyra may need to give herself that same lecture.
