That girl from America's next top model.

Well, I was not going to watch ANTM this week, but alas, I have gotten into the routine. I'm glad I did. Heather was the Cover Girl of the Week again! Also, the other girls found a letter she had written about how much she would miss them (how aspie is that, to leave a letter). So she was mentioned quite a few times. I don't think anyone else has "lived on" so to speak like that this season.
Bianca was told to leave this time. Too bad- she has more personality than the three remaining girls combined.

You're right, Quatermass. Bianca is a b**ch, but I grew to respect her in a way.
I'm probably just a sucker for a "ghetto girl success story."

Heather's Covergirl of the Week after she's gone. Heh. She's going to be the typical girl who gets a real modeling job after NOT winning.

I'm amused by the fact they eliminated Heather because of having "communication problems". ---> It is just like when they accept plus-sized models just to get rid of them because they're too fat or insecure about their bodies or whatever. In the real world, a model would not be left in the middle of Shangai just with a map, hoping she would make it in time for the photoshoots. In the real world, a spokesperson would have cue cards and time to herearse her phrases. But then again, they're not really looking for a model model, they're looking for a... well, I don't really know.

I think modeling can be achievable or not, depending on your focus on it.

well, I am just gratified that that young woman, Bianca, didn't have what it took, either.
Now she has to understand that it doesn't make much difference between someone that zones out and someone that thinks they have it in the bag.

LePetitPrince, that's how media works. More often than not, they're looking to scoop up and exploit information that they think people will pay to watch/read. ANTM and the Tyra Show, especially, make it a point to exploit people for their differences. Tyra is going to get so, so many brownie points for having Heather on the show, as well as her T-Zone pet project. That doesn't take away the fact that Heather is an awesome model.

And I think I can respect what hard work modeling is. Look at Ambreal. As much as she tried, she really sucked at facial expressions and posing. It does take practice. I really felt bad for the girl.




Anyways, here's a NYTimes article on Heather:

Even more Aspergers focus.

Wish somebody would ask her something new. I've read/listened to a handful and there's really nothing new to any of them.

Hey now. This thread is about ANTM and Heather. Behave and stay on topic or I'll send you to bed without any dinner.

I was impressed tonight by how gracious Bianca was when she was voted off. It looked like neither of the final two had been expecting that outcome.

Modeling is just like anything else - it can be done with pure or unpure motivation.

Is something advertised to show the product, or to manipulate you into wanting it in order to achieve something likely impossible? There's the problem.

Men and women alike are exploited by the greedy corporate whoremongers.

Hot.

I've always wanted to be a respected actor. I was told by big shot casting agent that I have talent that sets me apart. Never thought about modeling, however, but I guess acting's similar to modeling with the addition of the spoken word / moving images.
