not much to say about the cover girl episode, except that i'm so glad tahlia is gone. useless, useless, useless. this show probably produces more waste product than the entire US. i am blaming thalia for everything, including the financial meltdown.
small talking points about that episode and the clip show:
- celia is jerri blank?
- natalie really needs to direct her snobbish ways at other white people to avoid misunderstandings. um, i hope it was a misunderstanding.
- clay aiken is the antichrist. i do not care if tiffany loves him, or if the entire female contingent of the midwest worships his pointy little elf face. he really freaks me out. i'm apparently in the minority here, even potes loves him.
- london's decision to wear shorts and prince valiant pantaloons seems bizarre in light of her weight gain, which she professes to not be comfortable with. i mean, girl, you must have brought some pants! i'm not going to talk much about london's weight thing given that she was apparently recovering from bulimia when she got on the show. uck. cannot deal with that shit.
- allison may have only one face, but it's better than having no face.
- mckey really doesn't seem to be having fun. maybe she misses working at the ren fair and wearing chainmail. i suspect chainmail is not a cover girl approved look.
- aminat is a lady-lover? maybe?
- absolutely love celia and allison's relationship. frick and frack, indeed. they pass the "would i have a beer with them" test.
- also loved that sandra criticized the other girls for not being "ladies" (in a tampon voice - you know what i mean, right?) and then picked her nose on camera. i really can't forgive her for being A) a shitty model, B) mean, and C) boring. and allison won their "fight", which is just pathetic, like letting your stuffed animals make you feel bad about yourself because you are not furry and adorable.
- i am worried about teyona possibly winning, because while she photographs amazingly well, she is TERRIFYING when captured in any other way. there were some shots of her in the cover girl commercial which were outright h.r. giger.
alrighty. next episode:
FO
fo turns out great photos week after week, so maybe teyona-alien-face will not win after all. it does seem likely that fo and teyona will be the final 2 though.
CELIA
this is the perfect kind of shoot for celia. her weird, weird face fits in perfectly here.
i think celia will get kicked off before the final 3 for being too old (IMO, aminat will get kicked off tonight, but who the fuck knows). i would love it if she actually made it into the final 3/won, but i will not wish for the impossible.
TEYONA
i really want to know how exactly teyona translates so well on camera. i guess the camera loves exaggerated features (and here i go, assigning feelings and emotions to a camera, just like tyra and nigel).
ALLISON
yes, this counts as a new facial expression. in case you were wondering. i love this picture. i know allison herself is generally kind of quiet and not full of personality, excluding bloody nose art, but i want her around just so i can stare at her. her face is SO WEIRD.
sidenote: allison is winning the cw online poll by like 75% . . . i couldn't figure out why until soypunk told me that she used to post on 4chan on the paranormal board, and they are all voting for her. oh allison. don't ever change!
NATALIE
sometimes i think natalie is kind of pretty, and sometimes i think she looks like elvira gulch. today it is the latter.
LONDON
is london actually fat? no, of course not. but the MORE SHE TALKED ABOUT BEING FAT, THE FATTER SHE STARTED TO LOOK TO ME. aaaaaaaaaaaaah. it was both funny and terrible - talking about it made it true!
based on the pics this week, i thought aminat should have gone home instead of london. i mean, if tyra was going to let FUCKING THALIA hang around with her neither-model-sized-nor-plus-sized volleyball mom body and stupid hair poof, let london stay with her slightly enlarged hips and terrible headbands.
AMINAT
aminat looks like she just woke up. considering she practically molested poor ciara back at the house, you'd think she'd look a little more lively.
aminat is so frustrating because she's really hot, but she's totally clueless. please send her home tonight!
- apparently i am doing karaoke on saturday for ennuikitten's birthday. my drinking has gone up SO MUCH since biggieshorty started roping me into things. not that i'm complaining. i like being a lush. er, and i like singing, at least when i'm drunk.
- i actually updated goodreads for once, but only because i was REALLY BORED. and i found this list of books i put on freecycle and i rated every single one. so now it looks like i only read books with pictures of women's legs on the hot pink cover and random russian novels, because those happened to be the books i decided i could do without. WHOOPS. admitted, my reading habits are schizophrenic, but not that much. i am a little intimidated on goodreads because it seems like all of you are reading theory or poetry, and those are the two things i almost never read. (the other thing is westerns, but i don't know anyone else who reads those.) and i read a lot of silly genre stuff (not the genre stuff that gets respect, like philip k. dick or samuel delany - i mean books with vampires and LEPRECHAUNS. whatever. at least belmanoir understands.). also i can no longer remember what i read in the last several months. i have a vague idea of rating everything i can remember ever reading, but maybe that is unwise as well as impossible. if i were hankshiny it would be easy, because he doesn't read things, except when he's traveling. sometimes he makes me feel mildly ashamed, because i really will read almost anything (yes, including theory or poetry) if someone gives it to me, regardless of quality, reviews, or public opinion. i am picky about movies but not about books. meanwhile, my boyfriend will only read nonfiction, philosophy, or very occasionally a novel (the last ones i remember him reading are by murakami and delany). this is VERY FRUSTRATING when he asks for recommendations, because he will reject almost everything, and i'm not trying to recommend my "girly" books or anything. AUGH. i just wrote way more than i originally intended to and have probably revealed too much about hankshiny's mysteries, and he will yell at me later for talking about him on the internet.
- my hands are doing the lupus thing where they're all red and white and mottled and it's really gross and is freaking me out. i keep wanting to grab the hands of random people around me to compare and make sure i'm not imagining things, but i think that would get me arrested.
- again, remind me if you wanted a plushie, because i no longer remember who asked for one and who didn't.
- if you're from australia, could you maybe help me get these books? i'd pay you for books, shipping, and service fee.
