I Love Top Model

Despite my irks with Tyra last season about choosing McKey over Analeigh, I can't keep away from my guilty pleasures for long. I looked up the contestants for Cycle 12, since Barack "Magical Miracle Black Man of Equality" Obama is now Pres, and politics have taken a back seat (though I'm sure one of us might do a blog about the bailout).

Anyways, here are the contestants. I'll say what I think and what I think should be done to them at makeovers.

Isabella- At first glance, I was hesitant, but the more I look, the more I like her. Give her a frayed, edgy short hair cut or dye it dark red (think Adrianne Curry) and then put her in a photo. However, she does have the same name as the main character in book-that-shall-not-be-named.

Jessica- I'm not sure. She looks like Jaslene with a rounder face. She'd have to prove herself in a photo. She needs a honey brown dye job or caramel highlights.

Kortine-I don't think she'll go very far, so expect her in the final three =P... Don't care much for her outfit, though I may just steal those boots. Should she make it to makeovers, I expect a lot more volume and perhaps some lowlights.

London- Not to jump to conclusions, but she looks like she just might be the bitch of the cycle at first glance. Not very modelesque, more like adorable. I'd like her to go very light blonde.

Natalie- That shirt does not do her justice at ALL... love her legs, though. She'll probably go light with layers added.

Nijah- This picture is very "Modeling 101." For her makeover, I'd suggest a long weave to to the middle of her back.

Sandra- I'm not too sure... she looks like a catalog model. They'll do the obvious and shave the rest of her hair off, probably.

Tahlia- WTF is up with that mom sweater?? Seriously, though she just looks so much like a mom in another catalog ad. They probably add more curls and waves in a same colored weave.

Teyona- By far, has the most beautiful skin... in her face. Why is the rest of her body lighter than her face? Anyways, for her, I want a long, dark, straight weave with a bold bang. Think Bre from cycle 5 mixed with Brittany from cycle 4.

Allison- Uh-oh. She looks like she gonna be the high fashion girl with very little confidence. (Shandi, cycle 2, Lauren, cycle 10, Marjorie, cycle 11, etc). They should pull a Shandi with this one and give her platinum blonde with big curls.

Aminat- She got the street beauty, but does she have the model beauty? We'll find out. Tyra likes afros, so she'll probably keep it.

Celia- Much too "mall' pretty. She reminds me of Whitney with the blonde weave. She should get a stylish asymmetrical bob.

Fo- Again, "street" pretty, but not sure about model pretty. Maybe she should get a bob... well, I'm rooting for a short haircut for her. Some fringy layers would do her good.

Tell me what you think of the models.

This is why I should be President.
