Lauren Utter (Cycle 10) has a formspring account and she's a regular poster. You can find her here >
http://www.formspring.me/gutterutter - I've also taken the liberty of posting all of her questions she's answered about ANTM & modeling. She's posted a lot!
Also, shameless promotion for a ANTM Tumblr I work on:
http://drekitude.tumblr.com/ :)
when your modeling what goes through your head? ur so fucking good! Do u think of like music or film as reference? Marjorie from cycle 11 said she uses alot of movies as inspiration like david bowie for this shoot
http://i35.tinypic.com/nzkhhj.jpg yeah didnt you see my cycle ?shit was like texas chain saw massacre!
Hi Laura, first of all you are very nice for having a space for all your fans. my question is: when you refer to "scripted by the producers", do you mean tyra banks? (whois the main prducer aint she?)so she is the one who has the final choice of who stay?
no i dont. and no...and i didnt make this formsring for fans. i made it for my friends it's only happenstance that fans flocked here.
Would you have survived the bitchiness and cattiness of cycle 14? Cycle 10 was one of the top cycles of drama though....
oh i probably could of...but i probably won by default by killing those bitches dead. In all seriosness. i can handle my own. you all seen it. just keep me away from sharp objects and i should be fine
your jacket is absolutely awesome and better than Elina of Cycle11, do you made it by yourself?
yes
Here's what could have been. Fatima gets eliminated for her missing the shoot. Stacey ann gets eliminated for having a fake over the top commericial. Kat fails to impress Tyra on the renaissance shoot and gets her ass sent home. Dom gets axed for not mast
and what about moi?
Was it weird seeing Claire pumping milk all the time ?
nah. you get used to it. actually the sound from the breast pump was oddly comforting for us. since we had no music.
hey laura!! in modelville, were your punk friends real? or were they scripted by the producers?
my names lauren. and yes they were real. i invited them. we were told there was going to be hardly any taping so we'd have like a night of downtime. what BS. my firend never broke anything. those glasses sounds were inserted later. someone like ripped open a box of kix or something..and it could of been anybody. my friend, biancas friends. i dunno why the blame instantly went to my firends? bias. whatever. it can be easily cleaned up no use crying over spilled milk.literally
what did you think of erin form cycle 13?
i didnt watch that cycle sorry
have you ever seen those insane crazy ANTM that rip their hair out when the girl they don't like isn't sent home and they post rants on ANTM's fan page on facebook? it's hilarious.
i wish put that kinda heart into real causes and shit that actually mattered. Their wasting so much energy into something that could be productive. Now don't get me wrong I fucking LOVE rich's reviews of the show..but that's where theirs a distinct separation. he did something with his talents and he does it in a witty charming way. That's why he gets away with what he does.
when you were in the bottom two with claire did you think you would be going home?
oh yeah and i mentally prepared myself too and i was shocked when it wasn't the case. I was like this is it. im ready. let's get it over with.
Do you like Jessica from C14?
nah she's kinda dumb aint she?
Are you said Tyra show is ending. There goes you paycheck bitch. lololol
oh no i'll still get a paycheck. it's residuals baby and her website is still around.....i was asked to do something for it. so we shall see.
did doMANique show you her dick?
You know i'm sure if she actually had a dick she's be extremely popular among the girls in the house.... But no but when she'd shower and talk to you while your were brushing your teeth or something she'd be there tweaking her nips like she was changing the channel on the tv. it was way awkward. But whatever gets you off i guess..
why does dominique talk in the third person...?
meth
so what are you doing lately Lauren? Modeling?
right now? drinking coffee and playing galaga and later im gunna watch true blood.
Have you done any nude photos?If yes, did you feel comfortable while the photos are taken?
yes i've done quite a few. i feel more comfortable nude actually.
was fatima's pubic hair orange?
i dunno why don't you ask her.
was fatima's orange/red hair in the beginning natural?
i have no idea....why are you asking me this?
FYI...Crystal Renn is the top plus model. Hhere is her thread at TFS:
http://forums.thefashionspot.com/f52/crystal-renn-4241.html by
C0mputerGeek oh that's....nice. eh i guess good for her? i dunno what you expect me to say. i like zombies and star wars. this is not exciting to me.
well if the italian vogue happened during ur cycle u would definitely in the top 3 with kat and fatima...... and probably claire and anya will be in the top 5 too.....
maybe. but we'll never know will we.
even though i found you through watching antm when your season first came out and became a huge fan of yours not only through modeling, but through your art-work. i just wish people would stop with the forever asking you about antm questions ESPECIACLLY a
GAHHH!!! AGREEED!!!!!!!!!!
Who's prettier, Teyona or Krista?
i dunno each is pretty in their own right. i don't really care either way.
did kat ever help you with your walk?
after when were were in the hotel room and did the finale.
Jaslene or Renee?
what are you asking? which id rather punch?decisions descisions
If Fatima is from Africa, then why isn't she white?
i have a question...why are you so stupid?
which girls do you think should've been in the final three on your cycle?
i don't really carry.. you can't really dwell on the what-if's. didn't happe nthat way....so why bother sweating the small stuff.
There is a recent rumor spread on the internet about you posting that Anya(C10) has a drinking probem. Is is true?
i dont think its much of a rumor alls i said is that the girl can't handle her boozy. aint my fault people are shit stirrers and play a game oftelephone.
Who from the different cycles do you keep in touch with? by
C0mputerGeek mostly just my cycle and allison from cycle 12. people ask this all the time .yawn.
Have you and your agency discussed going overseas to build your book? Several ANTM girls have done well in Asia. It does not seem as big a deal to come from ANTM there. by
C0mputerGeek yeah.i was suppsoed to go to germany earlier this year.. i dunno what happened. meh?
Do you plan on adding more photos to your ModelMayhem page? by
C0mputerGeek no my agency told me to no longer keep it active.
Was Dominique really as dense as she was portrayed on her cycle? by
C0mputerGeek yeah pretty much
The winner of ANTM 15 will be on the cover of Italian Vogue and not f**n 17, are you applying again??
we can't...and um dang hypothetically if thath appened during our cycle it's crazy to think who'd of won. no way would whitney of won if that was the win. there were so many high fashion looking girls it would of been a tooth and nail competitition.
Heather (C9) fainted because of a lack of food. Did they regularly feed you? by
C0mputerGeek they fed us shitty food from catering. which was like so rationed.
Do you think Modelville was Fake and Gay and would you kick Renee's Ass if she started to be a bitch towards you ?
yes to all things listed
you dont have the age to be a model, seriously you're a fucking tranny ass granny in the fashion world. go fuck yourself.
hey go s my d you pansy ass bitch.
i cant believe you leaked the fact that anya has a drinking problem u backstabbing bitch no1 should trust you, u r a bad friend
since when was that private...and since when was i a friend? just because that shattered whatever impression you had of her. oh fucking well.
you have everything to be an outstanding model, except you might have to work on your runaway and your commercial shot, i wish dominique got eliminated on the commercial shot, but it's you,..oh shiiitt , I want you to be the winner
yeah that would of been rad.. but you can't dwell on the past. Everything happens for a reason. maybe i was meant for something better.
Did you get mad when tyra stole your shoes?
she didn't why does everyone always think she did? it was a joke .stop being so god damn gullible.
why did you quit on modelville? because your boyfriend want to reunited with you again?
because it was scripted and the producers made me quit.? it's called television my gullible friend. why would i quit when i just won a challenge? oh you didnt know that because they editted it out!!!!
Are you really Lauren Utter that was on the ANTM cycle 10? cause you seem to be different from the way you answer all these question..
yup pretty sure that's what it says on my birth certificate. its funny how things change when you cut the bullshit , have no smoke and mirrors to deter from the unadultereated truth and be allowed to be candid without a camera shoved in my face, if you think that potrayl of who i am was really accurate based off an edited tv show.... then i'd have to question your sanity. In me own words-- so to speak.
what the hell is this "basement" thing i keep seeing mentioned on your formspring? can you explain to me this basement myth thing?
some idiot thoguht there was a basement to our cast apartment. maybe technically there was. but it was a rented apartment..and we couldnt go wandering around someones place of residence. ..even if we could we're constantly monitered and we have absolutely no liberties. morons.
least favorite antm contestant of any season you've watched?
renee
First of all, you're fantastic and everyone I know who still watches ANTM past cycle 4 agrees with me. Secondly -- and sorry if this is a repeat question, I can't find it if it is -- did/do you watch yourself on your cycle? by
selfservicepump hahah thanks a bunch! and yeah i watched.. thru my fingers. it was sooo embarrassing to watch it the first time i wish i got to see it before everyone else.
while in panel did you ever have to hold in your poop?
YES and i certainly announced it to people too.
Why is Nigel incapable of not saying one perverted thing every episode?
i dunno. its the nature of the beast i suppose. any other questions that aren't so boring?
have people told you like " omg you look just like that girl from antm"
yeah and then i fuck with them and be like oh i've heard that a lot.
the modeling pics you take now. do you ever think about what the judges might have said about them if they were taken in the antm competition
nope. i could care less.
DO U EVER WANT TO PUNCH NIGEL IN THE FACE? and TYRA IN HER FOREHEAD?
i want to punch a lot of people in the head...and those people aren't on that list. I got other fish to fry. antm doesnt control my life. believe it or not.
ever going back to a weave?
fuck no i dont have that kind of money to waste on stupid hair.
outside of allison harvard of cycle 12 and the girls of your cycle do you hang out with any of the other ANTM alums?
nah not really.. there are other things in this world besides ANTM.
did you like ren's voice?
.......why does that mater?
Which awkward girl on antm do you like the most? I know they might not be awkward in real life but anyway:-)
Allison.
what was the most consistent feedback you got from panel?
i don't remember word for word. but paulina always said something awesome.
Do you like ren?
geeeeee i wonder.
do you make more money from you art or modelling. You don't have to disclose figure's or anythin
modeling. but what's more gratifying? art.
i honestly think you wanted to win top model.
duh. but what's wrong with having a little lols along the way.
Actually antm's around for cycle 16 too lol so i think they just stepped up their game
nahhhh BLAZE OF GLORY!!!!
Do you like Camille?
who?
do you think mckey is pretty?
sure why not. she had a kindle... i cant really respect people who don't actually READ real books.
how much do models typically make?
i dunno lots of models supplement their lives by working in bars or waitressing and i'm almost certain blow jobs... so it all varies. it's not as glamorous as people think.
Do you like Tyra?
i have no qualms. why should i? i get paid don't i?
If Tyra asked you to do a teach on posing with awkwardness would you do it?
sure i guess.
Did you like what you watched of cycle 14?
nah it was mad boring. the only redeeming aspect was watching Ren getting schwasted
Your Fuerzabruta picture is cool! Dunno what the judges and my girl T were smoking!
well if its any consolation i didn't like it either.
I know you kinda like her, but Allison K is up herself. I mean the stuff she comes out with (I know her through school) is just fucked up. Bitch is gorgeous but at the end of the day she's a twat
Oh i dont care what you think of her. i mean i can see why. I mean some people just aren't friendly..and just cuz she was on antm dont mean she owes you nothin. She might feel like begrudgingly towards antm . because it did her wrong and take it out on fans. it's not right...but we are human and not without faults. Some people are just unsociable. i mean. usually i'm wrapped up in my ipod when i'm out and about so i'm never paying attention so im sure people think im off in the cloud somewhere ( i am) and taken offfquard ( i am) because im not thinking oh shit what if someone recognizes me. you can't think like that you can't constantly be concerned with how people perceive you to be or be always on guard otherwise you will implode.
I got banned for having 2 accounts cause I forgot the password for one of them. I hate ALL-antm! TWOP for life
yeah i like their snark there...but their a bit slow on posting stuff it seems.
I agree about TWOP being slow but the snark makes up for it. I guess All-ANTM is a mixture of the two, but pretty much anything goes at TWOP, where as RTVG is a pussy forum.
rtvg seems to full of complainers and pussy yer right. I read some comment about someone complaining about rainas blog right? and here this person is complaining.. it's like due are you aware of what your doing? it's ok for you to bitch. but not raina? O I C.
did ppl stop recognizing you after a while? and if not, do u sign autographs and do they stalk and follow u?
nah people still recognized me even with the shaved head and bones. fuck.
i bet the same person who stole ur pumps was the person who stole Bres granola bars lol
aliens!
would u ever sleep in the port authority terminal like angelea did?
Oh come on! i've slept in far worse places. i dont know why she's complaining about that, that shit's like the ritz-carlton in comparison!
Do you refer to yourself as Lauren cycle 10? Like when you answer the phone you say hey this is lauren cycle 10
nah i'm jsut plai ol' laurne i never talk about yself in that way.. it's liek a complete mystery to most people and when they overhear it they think like i'm playing a practical joke on people. i like keeping people on their toes. they never know what to expect with me.
So you getting Miss Fatima a starbucks gift card was a backhanded gift?
nah it was a tongue-in cheek peace offering you uptight bitch.
Who's your favourite Antm winner? Sorry if it's been asked before and sorry it's another antm question! I'll ask a better one next time:)
i guess dani i like girls with gap teeth.
Would you have liked to have done the challenge where they had to take pictures of paulina
shit i wanted to do that gladiator challenge! i would of tore that shit up! I probably would of purposely clobbered one of the girls in the head tho.
who was the most dumbest person in the house?
Dominique hands down... .because she ran her mouth. and never actually filtered what came out of it.
did u ever hear anyone take a shit in the house?
yeah im sure the production crew always heard because we could never turn off our mics.
was Fatima actually poor? or did she come from money?
no she was poor.
u were so close to beat up fatima she mustve been rly annoying & bitchy
just a smidge
You should keep a record of the best questions n the worst questions and try getting some one to publish it.. Elysée from cycle one basically did that with her livejournal u should think of doing something like that with ur formspring... just a thought
i really should. but i wanna do somehting to the effect of sifly and ollie
did fatima ever teach you any words in somali?
she tried but i'm so forgetful. she lucked out in rome cuz some of the words were so similar sounding. Its just hard for my to imagine any other pronunciation besides english and german.
i think fatima would of whopped u! she is from africa!! she kills boars and elephants!! succckkaaahh!
yeah an im from New York. she would of had no chance. :P
was there a time during filming when there was almost a physical fight?
i almost hit fatima over when we got into that spat. tensions we really high and i needed to pace around to stop the adrenaline from pumping, i absolutely wanted to hit her. i probably would of really really hurt her.. im glad i walked away from it. It wouldn't of been justified to have hurt her.. i mean i wouldnt of proven anything but the competition taking its toll on us. and... also until someone hits me first i wasn't gunna do anythig anyways..but still. production wanted that to happen -- That fucknig coffee was the catalyst ,it was just a circumstance of bastige. and that would of come to pass. Everyone just needed to step outside of this social experiment and chill the fuck out it was getting to us..and whatever indifferences we had we would of felt silly afterwards.
Isn't "smiling with your eyes" just a fancy way of saying squinting? Did Tyra ever explain this? by
DavidLollz no. i don't really understand this obsession about 'smiling' with eyes either... or why people keep asking. Be creative jeez.
how would you have reacted if you won antm. be specific :D
i probably would of pooped myself and cussed. best reaction to winning ever. don't you feel ripped off?
What do you have against anya? In your interviews you called her a nice girl
i have nothing against her, stool pigeon.
After all the ANTM stuff was done, what were your real thoughts on Tyra?
my thoughts on tyra don't matter any.
I think some people need to slow the fuck down. I mean i'm a huge antm fan but i know it's a tv show first and a modelling show second and people are edited in a way to bring in viewers! Also some people can't handle Lauren having an opinion! She's an art
WORD!!!
Most people who constantly dwell on their own appearance, feel less confident because of their appearance, and put high importance on the way they look, also have the same expectations of other people. "Your Ugly'' means ''I’m hideous. Oh, look - this person has “ugly” characteristics as well; I’m going to make fun of their appearance in order to feel better about/distract myself from my own!” Making fun of other people for not being up to your standards of beauty is the most telling sign that you’re not comfortable in your own skin. It's a big load of hypocrisy and it don't bother me none.... but yet they do it anonymously so they can hide their ugly face. grow some balls :D!
But anyways thanks for proving not everyones a moron that follows my formspring .It's a breath of fresh air. <3
I think you are extremely beautiful :), I was watching cycle 10 and I really, really want to be like you when I grow up. you are very very special to a lot of people, so don't listen to what the haters say, they are just jelous. you're the best :)
awwww grow up to be you. nobody else!but thanks for the compliments :)
Did you and fatima burried the hatchet ? Sorry for my bad english XD
yeah it wasnt that big of a deal .we got over it. but the show itself dragged the issue. even after we had to 'keep the continiutity' so not to confuse the audience... which fucking sucked because we we so totally over it. i gave her a starbucks gift card.
hey, how long did you guys have to wait while the judges deliberated at panel before they eliminated a girl?
hours and hours.
I think you're an okay model, but can I give you some modeling advice? You really need to work on your smize, fierceness, tension, push, smize, fierceness, fierceness, fierceness! That's all. Good luck!
i love how everyone who watches the show think by adopting tyra's euphemisms they suddenly know stuff about the modeling industry...or think their expressing their 'opinions' nah yer repeating someone elses opinions. .. and most of that is done for show anyways. ;)
Do you feel embarased everytime there's a cheesy ass gimmick on ANTM?
oh you totally know it's a white knuckle situation every time that happens. Ouch.
why couldn u guys masturbate in the antm house ?
i mean you could of.. but it's all a matter of if you wanted to be filmed. Me personally? instant turn off cuz i was out of my comfort zone.
did Tyra ever mess up and yall had to retake?
yeah. its called being human.
Did u know it was Sutan dressed as Tyra in that one episode?
yeah
do u ever get paranoid about using the restroom somewhere and their being a camera?
you got used to it.
Your cover girl commercial was hilarious. Were you trying to be funny? Maybe a little in the back of your mind because you knew you weren't winnig anyway? Well it was a good laugh, so thanks.
noi was trying to not vomit everywhere when they yanked my bandage off my infected thumb .. i did anyways. and i was trying to focus on something other than the throbbing pain with no pain killers. it was awesome. not
Ever wondered what your Seventeen Magazine cover would have looked like had you made it to the Top Two (like you should have.....damn writers!!)?
nah not really. i never really thought i'd get far.. and i tend not to daydream in order so i dont get my hopes up.
I don't mean to come off as disrespectful...but you kinda seem to really not like Anya...is that true or false?
Hahhaha extremely false. however i think people are just overly sensitive and dramatic and cant handle truth when they ask questions. If you can't take peoples opinions besides your own don't bother asking in the first place. Whats that quote? ''YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH'' it's so true.
.She's human ..sheesh she's not infallible. But you guys certain don't like anything knocking her down from whatever pedestal you've given her. get real.
why did fatima and marvita hate each other?
i dont think they did...but i can't speak for either of them. you'd have to ask them, not me.
Did you cry when ren was eliminatd
no i just remember my middle finger being erect
How do yo feel about Angelea? -IMTHATBITCH STILLTHATBITCH
she's like Dominique 2.0 aint she?
Then the editors did a bad job because Whitney still looked like a complete bitch. But maybe you are right, they probably tried to trim it down as much as they could.
yeah they did the best they could.
In her defense, Krista is one of the better winners in a long time. It's been a while since there has been a girl that legitimately deserved to win. She did a kick ass job at the end. She's the total package. Why do you dislike her?
oh i don't dislike her at all. i never said that. again
please don't put words in my mouth. I was only stating it was pretty OBVIOUS. how does that equate to disliking a girl? Where did you go astray?
you could tell what from her edit?
that she was gunna win.. like she was kinda forgettable. why because they trimmed everything in oder for her to look as good as possible. they do it for every winner.... to the best of their ability.
hell yeah i knew krista would win. her face and bone structure is fuckin amazin
really ? i could tell from her edit. but to each their own.
Do you think Tyra's beauty makes up for her mental instability?
you can say that about a lot of women.
Before appearing on Top Model, were you aware that the reality competitions like ANTM and American Idol are fixed? C0mputerGeek
i kinda figured.. that's why i'm not at all embittered or jaded by it.. because i saw it coming a mile away. i mean. how gullible can you be?
Did Whitney Cycle 10 eat the beef panties she wore after the meat photoshoot?
lol i read that as. 'did she eat her own beef curtains'' sorry i have a short attention span.
What was one of the comments we didn't see that stuck with you in the competition?
i dont really remember. i remember paulina talking about spock and the vulcan salute. I liked that.
i've always wondered if the footage they show of your finger getting accidentally cut is the actual real footage ? i don't know
no it's not -that's anyas hands.
ANTM should be picked up by HBO!!! :D Can you imagine! HA!
oh jeez. i wouldn't want that. you couldn't pay me enough money to do that.. people think that this ''reality tv'' is an accurate depiction of who we really are and they judge us based off of that already. You only get to see what the editors and producers choose to regurgitate for you. And it being uncensored? there would be even less to hide behind and i would not like that feeling of being fully exposed in that sense.
