♥ ANTM cycle 10 ♥
5.19.2008
I just finished watching America's Next Top Model Cycle 10, yes I know I'm a few days later than some other hardcore fans. IT WAS AWESOME. To see the models' personality, their distinctive features, their bodies, the way they carry themselves.
W.O.W
WARNING! IF YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED WATCHING YET AND YOU DON'T WANT TO SPOIL YOUR ANTICIPATION OR WHATEVER SHIT, STOP READING FROM THIS POINT ONWARDS.
Or of course if you don't intend to watch but still am curious about what I would like to nag, then you may go on.
It started out with...14 girls? Supposed to be 13 but they made space for one extra one, who proved quite worthy of herself as the competition gets along. There were girls of all shapes and sizes, some who are really dying to make it to the final, and some are just not interested in the competition AT ALL.
You know who...KIM. She's such a...I don't know. So many girls are dying to make it to the top 13/14 but she just gave up. Her reason was because she don't think designer goods should cost that much and that people shouldn't just like...go gaga over them.
Ok I get your point, but being a model and hating designer goods...hmm...so you wanna model for kopitiam or CK? (I meant the CK bai huo gong si ok, not Calvin Klein).
K FINE, LEAVE.
Then there were mothers in the competition, Claire was the one who pumps her milk every night so that she won't run dry by the time the competition is over. So thoughtful. To her baby. But she does the pumping in front of everyone. Why can't she just go to a quieter place to meditate for milk? I don't get it. What is she trying to prove? She's the only one who can produce milk in the entire house?
Let's make this entry short, cos it's supposed to be. Whitney was the only full bodied model and she won ANTM, yes the champion. She's beautiful, she's got curves and all. But obviously, some people have problems with that. Why? She's bigger size.
COME ON LA. Our perception of beauty is REALLY twisted. Tell me if I'm wrong now. To you, beauty is
1. skinny
2. skinny
3. skinny
4. skinny
5. still skinny
I find skinny uglier as compared to being fat actually. So far, none of the artist had ever painted a painting with SKINNY women. Unless they are supposed to be beggars or some slave to a household. In fact, we see slightly juicy women in those paintings. Birth of Venus, Mona Lisa?
None of those had sunken cheeks. What is happening to our perception of beauty seriously. To put Whitney and Anya, yes I would think Anya should win too. But not because Whitney is fat. But because throughout the entire cycle 10, Anya was like Switzerland, she had ZERO conflicts with anyone, and she REALLY REALLY cared about the other girls even though it was a competition.
The other girls?
They were all like "I'm here to win, I don't care about what you think about me, I don't care about you~"
Fuck.
Ok, back to the bigger size subject. At the last runway show, we see Whitney and Anya walk, and Whitney was just gorgeous, Anya was awkward wearing her second dress. Face it folks. Whitney had the crowd going.
She's plus size, but she's BEAUTIFUL.
My point is, why do I see msn nicknames like "AMERICA'S NEXT TOP FATBITCH" and "THE FAT BITCH WON, TYRA IS ****".
*roll eyes*
To people like these, ONLY skinny is beautiful. I bet if there's a human who's REALLY stick thin but has like pubic hair growing on the face, extremely deformed nose, eyes pointing in opposite direction, you will think he/she is pretty.
Correct not!
Fine maybe not to that extreme. I'm pretty positive that people will start telling me, FAT BEAUTIFUL HUH, GO MARRY A FAT PIG NEXT TIME LOR.
Before that happens, let me make my point clear. I am not saying skinny is beautiful or fat is beautiful. Just because you are skinny/fat alone don't make you beautiful. Look at Whitney! she's plump but really stunning. My point is, we keep thinking that skinny is SOOOOO attractive that we rule out any possibility that a plump girl can shine too. Let me make an example..
Two girls were introduced to a guy for matchmaking, before meeting them, the match maker told him this:
1) the first girl is skinny but....
2) the second girl is fat but....
K, most of the people will choose girl A, cos we know for a fact that she's skinny. Because you think that skinny is beautiful, fat is ugly.
Now, let me complete the sentence.
1) the first girl is skinny but has mustache and is balding due to excessive oil in the scalp. Adding on to that, she can fit a 50 cent coin in her nostrils without much effort and her teeth are crooked enough to form domino.
2) the second girl is fat but she has these dangerous curves and really fine features like she just walked out from the painting "birth of venus". Her eyes are bright and the nose is sharp, the jawline is defined and the chin is sharp.
Now you changed your mind?
If not, just forget I said anything and carry on embracing the world of skinniness and worship them like they are GODs. GODs of obvious famines.
