I, as an avid watcher of a "reality" talent show called America's Next Top Model was utterly shocked to the core when I figured out that Tyra Banks refused auditions from statuesque goddesses and accepted petite girls instead. I was so shocked that I felt a crack from my skull, literally. As you all know, the first and foremost requirement in high fashion industry is to have a atleast 5"7' height. And as you've heard, Tyra crushed the modeling world standards by searching a top model whose height was always considered as "short". To be honest, I am huge fan of ANTM since I started watching it in youtube. Its true that its often accompanied by unnecessary girl dramas, bitch fights, AND Tyra's narcissistic ego, but hey, a girls gotta watch what she has to watch, right? Anyways, the point is. I think that Tyra's major decision may, DO have some negative criticisms received from high labeled designers and even top selling agencies, (NOTE that Elite Management did not sponsor the show this time), but I'm pretty sure that she did a great job increasing short aspiring models' confidence. Tyra Banks is one of the infamous model with so many incredible accomplishments, and seeing her cheers for the short girls is just pure ethereal to me. I'd would love to become a model but meh, I'm too ugly to become one. On the other hand, who knows how hurt could the petite models get, after getting eliminated when we all know that fighting against the world would be really tough and complicated. 0 comments
