A big surprise to me.  I really though Anya was going to win.  The representative from Cover Girl was fawning over her at the photo shoot with comments like “You model from your toes up!”

The ladies are now in Italy and last week they shot commercials for Cover Girl.

It was no surprise that Lauren. was. sent. home.  (An ANTM reference)

More Flight of The Conchords

While researching an article in Maxim for today, now tomorrow’s post, my eyes were immediately drawn to this photo.

America’s Next Top Model Cycle 10

 
Ok, so I have to let you in on one of my guilty pleasures, ANTM.  Not as popular as Project Runway and regularly paned by critics, but I enjoy it just the same.
