ANTM Beauty Quiz: "America's Next Top Model Is..."

BellaSugar — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 11:00:00 -0800

It's official: Nicole Fox is America's Next Top Model. Contain your thrill! OK, while this finale wasn't the most suspenseful ever, it was nice to see that two sweet and semi-geeky girls made it to the end, right? As my short-legged cat Milo and I watched the episode, we had mixed emotions. This may be the first time that the winner had more viability as a model, and Nicole could pick up some edgier gigs. Still, I couldn't help but want to hug Laura, who clearly was crushed by being the runner-up. This episode earns just a two-Milo rating. And while ANTM will always be a guilty pleasure, this cycle came up a little, well, short. Do you agree? Take my trivia quiz (and Buzz's, too) and tell me what you think.

Who Should Win ANTM Tonight?

BellaSugar — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 14:00:29 -0800

Tonight, we'll find out who will win this cycle of America's Next Top Model. Oh boy! While it wasn't the most exciting season, it did introduce us to Laura, whose bloggin' is just as endearing as her talkin'. Will this Kentucky blonde leave the farm and go on to fame and fortune? Or will the red-haired Nicole come out on top? My money's on Nicole, if only because she has apparently stolen Andie Walsh's prom dress. Who do you think deserves to win more?

Does "Supermodel" Mean Anything Anymore?

BellaSugar — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 09:01:10 -0800

We all know the supermodels by their first names: Naomi. Linda. Christy. Heidi. Gisele. Whitney.

Wait, Whitney? Yep, Whitney Thompson - as in the winner of America's Next Top Model. She's launching her own line of handmade jewelry and candles, calling it Supermodel. "I've tried to make my collection real," she told First Coast News. "It's stuff that I love and I would wear and I'm a supermodel so I was thinking, 'Hey! Supermodel.'"

While I love Top Model and hope that Whitney's endeavor goes well, none of the show's winners are exactly household names in the way that Cindy Crawford is. Then again, neither are the most popular runway models - just try asking a random dude who Jessica Stam or Raquel Zimmerman are. So maybe Claudia Schiffer is right when she says that the age of the supermodel is long over. If it is, do you think it matters?

BellaSugar — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 11:59:39 -0800

Oh boy, two eliminations this week! They mean biz-a-ness in Hawaii - and so we had to say "a hui hou" to both the sweet and the sour contestants. Fortunately, we were able to enjoy a superbly awkward booty-shaking session beforehand. Were you paying attention to the beauty details last night? Test your recall of this three-Milo episode.

ANTM Beauty Quiz: Episode 10, "Dive Deeper"

BellaSugar — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 14:40:06 -0800

Oh boy, Marisa Miller! Swimsuits! Can you contain your excitement? Actually, yeah, so can I, but that doesn't mean I'll stop watching this show. Last night, we learned that Laura is scared of suffocatin' in the water, that Jennifer can unleash a hilariously well-timed swear, and that Sundai really needs a hug. Erin continues to be the Sméagol of the group, while Nicole continues to excel. Were you paying attention to the beauty details of this two-Milo episode? Take my quiz, and if you want more, try Buzz's as well.

ANTM Beauty Quiz: "Let's Go Surfing"

BellaSugar — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 11:10:53 -0700

Oh boy. Where to begin with last night's episode? I appreciate Tyra's attempt to educate the girls on Hawaiian history, and huzzah for highlighting different cultural blends, but what a misguided idea for a photo shoot! You'd think that for as well-traveled as Tyra is, she'd know that painting light-skinned girls dark is all kinds of Bad Idea Jeans. I kept hoping for one of the models to pipe up and say, "I don't feel comfortable wearing brownface," but no dice. Because of the facepalm nature of the photo shoot, I give this episode my lowest short-legged cat rating of the season. (Look at him! Even he can't believe it.) Anyway, see if you were paying attention to the beauty trivia last night, and then take Buzz's quiz, too.

this episode earns one measly milo:

The 15 Worst America's Next Top Model Photo Shoots

BellaSugar — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 02:00:24 -0700

It's no secret that America's Next Top Model is the show we hate to love and love to hate. As much as we get a kick out of the clever photo shoots - and there are many, don't get us wrong - we can't help but think that some are not so great. Whether the concept is just over-the-top cheesy or horrifyingly misguided, these 15 are the ones that make us cringe, cry, and cover our eyes. Are there any we missed?

ANTM Beauty Quiz: "Interview 101"

BellaSugar — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 12:20:16 -0700

My favorite Top Model (say that in autotune!) episodes are the ones that force the girls to shoot commercials. None will ever be as hilarious as Dominique's ("Brazilia!") or Jade's (fabulous!), but still, it's entertainment. Poor Laura stumbled over her lines due to her dyslexia, but wasn't it satisfying to see Erin's hubris blow up in her face? All in all, not a bad episode. Take the quiz to test your beauty recall.
