Omg, was Tyra high when she wrote this?I can understand how Trya Banks could write this, her ego is the size of a planet, with it's own moons to revolve around her and everything, but seriously who in their right mind would publish it?
It's Spain (the models count to 5 in Spanish at one point). But it took me a while to figure out the reasoning behind the name. Or at least my theory of the reasoning...
hmm possible, though i wonder where the play on words comes from if it's Austria/Switzerland. the closest cheese name off top of my head close to "Gowdee" is Gouda....which is made primarily, IIRC, in Holland. and "TooLip" already represents Holland, soooo that's out.
i had thought of Gowdee > Howdy but then there's not really a country known for cowboys. (is there?)
damnit, this is gonna bother me all day tomorrow til i figure it out, lmao.
Sounds dreadful - almost so bad - amazing you actually read it.
My 'guesses' for her countries (pretty obvious):
Très Jolie - France Gowdee - no idea NorDenSwee - Norway/Denmark/Sweden mash-up Cappuccina - Italy TooLip - Netherlands Fuji - Japan Chakra - India Icylann - Iceland Didgeridoo - Australia Oktooberfest - Germany
Wow! Thank you for the entertaining breakdown. It was as if a thousand Mary Sue Litmus Tests cried out...and then were suddenly silenced.
It sounds as though the book is extremely vapid, and does not appear to reflect well on Miss Banks, on the surface. I'm intrigued by her imaginative touches though, even if (as it would seem from your synopses) most of her concepts don't actually go anywhere. Superhero hierarchies and meta-mystical living? Not exactly stuff you would expect to see coming from a celebrity model.
It's almost as if she only understands how her own world works; so her fantasy tale is framed around this perception of reality that is so narrow that even the fantasy suffers from it.
