oh, antm
i seriously intended to write this before i left on vacation. i have no willpower and at this point i don't have much to say about the finale other than HURRAY FOR CHAINMAIL and that mckey is coming to a ren fair near YOU.
entertainment weekly had some sort of snotty blurb about "if mckey doesn't win, it will be a victory for chinless, mousy models everywhere." it's pretty easy to figure out who was Chinless and who was Mousy, right?
ANALEIGH
she is a total mouseketeer! i can't believe she choked so badly on the commercial. she's the one who came on the twop spoilers thread to reveal she was the third place contestant. it does appear she's getting a fair amount of work now, though i think they made her lose at least 10 pounds. i enjoyed the continual harping on "analeigh has a great body, but the FACE . . ."
SAM
this was a really butch final 2. sam's smile makes me wince. i sympathize, really, since i also have "sad lips" and everyone thinks i am miserable when my face is merely in repose.
MCKEY
i really want this dress.
LULZ.
i'm still glad she won, and even gladder (is that correct? i am too tired to think about my grammar) that her fake english accent disappeared. and i LOVED it when she picked up ty-ty and nigel. i mean, wow, she really IS strong! cagefighter ahoy!
let us all have a moment of silence in memory of sheena.
also, let us never talk about tyra's outfits in this episode again. SERIOUSLY.
breakdown:
- what the fuck is up with this amanda palmer thing? so, apparently the singer for the dresden dolls got dropped from her record label because there is some video of her where her little belly is visible (presumably bouncing a bit, who fucking knows), she refuses to edit it, so they drop her. um, even if you're the sort of marketing executive/entertainment industry numbnuts who thinks the female body should not have an ounce of fat on it, wouldn't you figure out that amanda palmer's core fan base is INSECURE TEENAGE GOTH GIRLS who are already hyper-aware about size discrimination, etc.? and that it would be a really bad idea to ALIENATE THE FANBASE? (i have seen amanda palmer's midriff, and i can assure you that while she has a little belly spillage, it does not go beyond normal levels. i mean, i will take that any day over gwen stefani's numbing self loathing, where she talks in every interview about how much she hates her body and how every day is a struggle to make her abs flatter.) hilarity! who makes these decisions? is it the same person who invented the talking fandango paper bag ads?
relatedly, i did not know they made tina fey lose 30 pounds to be on 30 rock. this makes me depressed about liz lemon eating on the show, because obviously they will only let liz lemon eat if she is thin. blahhh
- there are only 12 episodes of fawlty towers??? how did i not know this.
- the new bond song is awful beyond words. the movie is merely mediocre, but the song made me miss the first 10 minutes of the movie because i was busy thinking about how awful jack white and alicia keys are together, with her GODDAMN TINKLY PIANO and his GODDAMN HOWLY GUITAR and both of their goddamn yodeling voices.
- i watched the movie wanted on the plane last night, and it is one of the only movies i have ever felt shame for watching. deep, crimson shame. TIFFANY, THE FAUN IS NOT HOT. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU HE SOUNDS LIKE A LEPRECHAUN USUALLY
- did you know that SHAQ HAS A TWITTER? it almost makes me want to join twitter (NOTE: ALMOST). i love how every twitter is either about his exercise routine or food. he also routinely uses "um um um" to mean yummy or delicious. i love him now.
