Competition Returns for a

Second Season 

Not just us, but a second season of our “fav” gal pals duking it out for the crown, is back. No, not that show. Salt and Pepper, seasoned Divas return to TV Land  next week to compete for chance to appear in Self Magazine and being signed to Wilhelmina Modeling Agency.

Aging gracefully has taken an incredible leap these days with opportunistic changes for the over 35 divas of the world. They say 30 is the new 20, making the once dreaded adding candles to the cake every year, a celebratory event. Yep, thats right TV Land’s She’s got the Look is back and premiers at 9pm on Thursday June 11th.

My favorite thus far has to be 72-year old Dolores. If I look like this at 72, right now in my twenties I’m a hot mess. If eating brocolli, will make me look half as good now, as Dolores does in her 70s, then just call me Broc– Broc Obama.

 

Getting old, has never been so freakin cool.

Curving her Curvature:

The Fictitious Speculations Behind Whitney’s Win

 

 

Not long after our Rubenesque models’ success did the malicious gossip surface. As acclaimed by the rumors, Whitney won, Cycle 10 of ANTM, only after gaining an improbable amount of weight, in order to compete. According to these sources, Whitney was encouraged to gain weight because her already size 2 frame, wasn’t eye-catching enough for her to conquer the title.

It is pivotal that we first scruntinze the credibilty of the source that leaked this inane anecdote. A girl, was told by a guy, that claims to have known the slimmer Whitney, that Whitney herself told him it was all an arrangement.

As a journalism major, I can say, that the source of a story holds much credence to the truthfulness of the information given. Whitney won, frankly because the other 25 women, were just not good enough. So this rumor must be obliterated, here and now, in order for Whitney to wallow in her new-found opulence.

ANTM Winner Cycle 10

 

In mirror’s everywhere across this great nation, eight years old little girls, are scrutinizing their thighs and derrieres. When a sensual size eight women inexplicably clinches the title “plus size”, what misconstrued message are we sending out, about the fashion industry. 

With her pouty round lips, and soft celestial like bone structure, Whitney Thompson, is well deserving of her season ten title of America’s Next Top Model. As 20 -year old student, from Atlantic Park , FL, with her abrasive confidence, Thompson, has managed to wiggle her way into my top two, favorite America’s Next Top Model Winners.

So, lets all become agents of change. We should, as society  all become advocates for healthy living, eating right and exercising. As, a former, woman with a modelesque figure, yes child birth changes a lot– being a size zero, is not a size that everyone can attain. Unless you’re born with genetics that enable to obtain these “run-way” physics– poor lifestyle and unhealthy eating habits are not, by any means, necessary to stretch your bodies defense to it’s limits. Love the skin you’re in ladies, and you will feel that love reciprocated.

Little eight year olds are consequently making erroneously assumptions, perpetuated by the fashion industry ,that their pre-pubescent frames  are somehow not good enough.

Dipping under in the bottom two positions, on numerous occasions Whitney has managed to climb to the top of the pile of anorexia stricken, emaciated former contestant losers. As fashion pioneers ,lets represent all shapes and  sizes, tones, creeds and cultures.
