ANTM Cycle 12

[sceniczip]

I know that Tyra says that modeling is more than just being pretty but really when you look at magazine ads that you find in Cosmo or commercials on tv do you really see someone looking like Allison? Or any of them really?

I watch Make Me a Supermodel on Bravo and think that they definitely have more of the typical model types. I still do enjoy ANTM, though maybe not as much this cycle.

This is the problem, they are trying to pick someone who's going to be a good mass market cosmetics spokeswoman (for a line directed at younger women) AND a good couture/runway model. The only time that happened was 15-20 years ago with the supermodels. The gap between what runway models and mass market models look like nowadays is so huge as to be ridiculous and Tyra needs to quit thinking she can close it.
