America's next top model?
Not exactly. So yesturday, I auditioned for the upcoming cycle of America's next top Model. What a bummer. I was greeted with a wooden stick approxomently 5 foot 8 inches high, which let me know off top that this wasn't going to be an easy ride. Of course, I know that In the fashion world, they want legs longer than fishing poles, and weight equivalent to feathers, but I could have swore times were changing. I mean who's to say that clothes look better on taller, skinnier people anyways? Jeans are much more flattering on curvier women in my opinion. Plus, I never understood the significance of height as a model, but hey, it is what it is right? I was so proud of Tyra when she dedicated a season of ANTM to Petite Models (the shorties), but it was only once out of almost 20 seasons. So can you understand the frustration of me, someone 5'5 and 135 lbs, but loves modeling with a passion? Sure, I can do print work and all of that other good stuff, but who wouldn't want to march down the high fashion runways wearing tons of versace and chanel? Well, to make a long story short, I was turned away pretty much before even given the oppurtunity to give my name :-/ Of course, I was a little bummed about it, but I won't let it stop me from persuing my dreams. The best of the best were turned away time after time before being granted surreal oppurtunities, right Tyra? Note to you, I am EXACTLY what the runway has been missing. Look out for me.
