These girls are probably pulling in 200 to 300K a year...I have a friend whose sister was pulling in 500K a year and she isn't anywhere near famous. These girls do well... Space for sale... | |

It's called America's Next TOP Model. How many of them ever did any REAL high fashion shows? And after their contracts expire, their agencys aren't that happy to renew them. And for good reason. None of them ever land campaigns or editiorials or ads (except the ones that come with winning ANTM), and none of them go and do runway for any major designer. After the first couple of months, they've all basically faded, and they move on to the next cycle. With the notoriety they recieved from the show, you'd think some of them can pull a big job just from their name, but no. And whenever you see The Tyra Show and she brings back former contestants and winners, many of them have moved on from modeling, and the ones that are persuing it, are landing mediocre jobs. So much for TOP model.  | |

Every cycle since Tyra demanded that we kiss her fat ass, I've predicted that the plus-sized girl (fuck the nouveau lingo) will take it. I refrained this time and whadda ya know: the plus-sized girl took it! How do you like them buxom apples?
I'd call this a symbolic victory, but this is ANTM: if it's not symbolic, it's as good as symbolic. However, earlier this week, I received an email from a source that would like to remain nameless (and, clearly, close to my heart) that suggests this victory is super-symbolic The mystery woman writes: I debated on whether to share this given my source and you may have heard this already...The source is this wonderfully chatty boy in one of my classes...who says he went to high school with Whitney. The claim is that Whitney did not try out for top model but was approached on a plane by someone from the show. She was already doing modeling as a size 2 or 4 but because she was closer to a 4 she was a little too big for the show as a regular model. They told her that if she went and gained 10-20 pounds they would definitely put her on the show as "the plus-size model". She's about a 6 or 8 on the show. He even showed us this picture of her when she was smaller which was from a year ago. He also said that she was going to make the top 3. That's why I held out from saying anything for 3 weeks. I wasn't sure if anything was credible. But since the "top 3" thing came through... This email arrived, mind you, before the pre-ANTM shots of a much slimmer Whitney hit ONTD: I wouldn't be surprised at all if it were true (knowing nothing about women's sizes, I'd guess close to a 4 is about right in those shots). At the very least, the pictures tend to refute Whitney's sob stories (heard most recently in the final moments of the show) about being teased for being curvaceous. Of course, given that it's at least third-hand information,this could merely be one of those things that make you go hmmm. In any event, none of this is to diminish Whitney's hard work standing around and being fierce. Having the plus-sized girl win is a nice touch, and I'm never mad at a good plot point, no matter how contrived. [Edited 5/15/08 9:56am]  | |

So much for TOP model. you do realize that danelle and cari dee both had their contracts renewed, right? and like i said, my buddy's sister is making a killing in modeling and we never see her name...it's all relative...these aren't the eighties days anymore. i am sure each of the winners are happy with their careers...even though folks like you arent.

She's actually gorgeous. My issue was that when she posed she looked like she was posing and it looked phony. She looks better in these to me because she's not giving you Miss America.
