now I’ll never be America’s Next Top Model

January 16, 2009 | America's Next Top Model, internin', why I hate winter

First off, let’s give a round of applause to my guest bloggers this week! Michelle, Kyla and Brandy, take a bow, you girls are lovely and saved my poor blog from a week of neglect!

It’s like negative 30 billion degrees out here in Chicago. Yesterday while walking to the office, my hair was freezing, face red and my glasses were icing over. Obviously, I walked into the office looking absolutely stunning. Oh and then a photographer from the New York Times came in to photograph us later. Oh during the shoot, I was sitting next to Lauren (she’s on our ad team and awesome!), who use to be a model.

Let’s break that down:

negative 30 billion degrees + red face + sitting next to model + NYT photographer = me potentially look like a chubby hot mess in a future NYT article

I know you are itching to see if it prints and trust me, we should know soon.

Let’s just pretend it was a bad hair/face/body day and be done with it. Okay? My other option is finding every copy of the paper and taking a permanent marker to me if a photo has me in it. If I miss any, I expect you to do the same.

Can you tell I’m not a fan of photos?

Tyra will be disappointed in me.

My grandma once told I should be on America’s Next Top Model (she was 91 at the time). My response was…

a) I’m only 5′3″
b) I’m not a size 00.
c) I’m too awkward for pictures.

I wish I could be on the show though. I’m obsessed with it.

lizs last blog post..The Story is in the Soil

I’m sure you will look cute as always.

Mermandas last blog post..You should get some.

MAKE TYRA STOP LOOKING AT ME!!! I CAN FEEL HER JUDGING ME WITH HER EYES!!!!

Rachel M.s last blog post..Welcome to the soundtrack of my day

You’re cute and stylish with great hair to boot. Besides a flushed look is sexy.

Meghans last blog post..Carmen San Diego

I, too am not a fan of the photo op. The picture of me I see in my mind just isn’t the same as the actual picture!

Tyra really scares me.
Anyway, I always look awkward on photos for some unknown reason. That’s why I might never be able to be a model. Not like that’s my biggest dream. ;P

Rosiers last blog post..Friday 5: Wind

Aww, hon, I’m sure you look gorgeous!

La Petite Chics last blog post..Not As Cold

i bet you looked fabuloooooous.

I’m sorry it’s so cold and miserable in Chicago! My mom lives in MI, where the weather is also in the -30s. She doens’t have anyone photographing her today though, which is nice. I’m sure you didn’t look a “chubby hot mess” (although I loved the fact that you used that phrase).

How exciting that you’ll be in the NYTimes, though!

Mishis last blog post..Second, my dry cleaning place burned down

I’m sure you’ll look great anyway! Can’t wait to see if you’ll make it in the NYTimes. That’s definitely awesome!

Mindys last blog post..Puff, puff, pass.

But if there were a blog award for best hair, you’d totally get win, so I’m sure even if you weren’t smiling with your eyes, the only thing anyone will be able to think when they see the pic is “Damn! That girl has great hair!”

I feel you though. I hate getting my picture taken. I do not know how to work my angles.

Allies last blog post..Favorite Products 2008 – Beauty

Jamie–

You’re the girl with all the potential, but do you really want it? I see beautiful girl standing before me, but you have allowed below zero temperatures to get to you.

When I did my first photo shoot in antartica I was freezing and it was a BATHING SUIT shoot. I was shaking but I said to myself, “tyra– this is your DREAM”. It was the most amazing shoot of my career.

You just need to dig down deep and pull it out. No excuses.

I believe in you.

<3 Tyra

Tyras last blog post..Questions

That looks more like Tyra is eating my very last piece of chocolate with her eyes.
Mean.

Sarahs last blog post..First kiss

God, I love that show. And Tyra’s comment is KILLING me, in a good way, of course. “I see a beautiful girl standing before me…” YES. EVERY WEEK. “But I’ll only call one name.” Wha wha wha.

Speaking of, when does the self-indulgent awesomeness start again? I’m going through serious withdrawal.

Kerri Annes last blog post..And She Read Happily Ever After, The End

don’t even worry about it – i was voted “least photogenic” in high school. that’s a true story.

Allys last blog post..You Don’t Even Know

I would have kicked Lauren. True story.
(or not… I really am a nice person)

Princess Pointfuls last blog post..365 x 2 +3

I bet you $20 in imaginary money that it turns out fantastic. Photographers have a way of not making us look like crap even when we feel like it.

downbeatss last blog post..…a little pre-occupied

Tyra’s comment is so inspirational, you should print it out and read it every day. I know I would.

michelle woos last blog post..Redirecting

The moving gif scared the life out of me. Thanks for jump starting my heart. I thought I was in an Asian horror movie and the pic was alive. My blood was probably a bit thick and heart slow anyway with MI near negative billion.

drunkenhopfrogs last blog post..Portable Browsing Environment

You never look as bad as you think you do, but don’t ever try saying that to me if I’m bitching about a picture of myself…ha!

That little video of Tyra is creepy, I don’t know what she’s doing…

Lady, I bet you will look adorable and fantabulous!

Maries last blog post..Looking Cool

I’m sure you look great! It’s freezing cold here in Northwestern PA as well.

The girls on ANTM are usually not attractive anyway! Plus then you’d have to deal with Tyra all the time….KYS now!

ps– first time here and really like your site!

Stiletto Sports Jens last blog post..Stiletto Report’s Top Sports Commercial of 2008!

Aw – that was like my wedding pictures Jamie, my sister is a model. I’m not tragic or anything, but you sure can feel that way in comparison!

They’ll look great I’m sure – and having your picture taken by a NYT Photographer? That in and of its self must make you glow just a little!

I’m sure you looked lovely!

E.P.s last blog post..Thinking happier thoughts

Well ya never know how great you might look! If so then I win an autographed copy for being the best suck up here today

Jamieee, congrats on winning bootleg award

I just watched that Tyra thing for much too long.

nicoleantoinettes last blog post..picture this: bloggers jump out of planes, hilarity ensues.

This was TOO FUNNNYYY. For reals. And Tyra’s comment made me laugh even more. Seriously.

Stephs last blog post..My child is old enough to legally drink

Ahh this weather in our area has been crazy hasn’t it? I was not impressed with the -30+ weather at all and I heard on the news the other day we’re in for more of it soon

Js last blog post..Being positive is a struggle sometimes

HAHA Tyra’s post made me laugh out loud. That was awesome. You know that’s how life works though right? Putting a damn model next to you at all the wrong times.*

*I’m sure the model was very nice though.

shannons last blog post..I’m gonna bust.

Talk about Murphy screwing us over. We all tend to look our worst when we can afford it the least (classic pimple-on-nose on prom night sound familiar?). That picture of Tyra scares me -_-

Mimis last blog post..Removing Ads For Your Regular Visitors

That video is both creepy and hypnotizing at the same time.

Stealthnerds last blog post..THON Update: 1/12-1/20

I used to like Tyra before her TV show an ANTM. She just showed everyone how crazy she is. I can’t stand to watch either show.

Except marathons on VH1…those are fun.

Dolces last blog post..Stop talking or I’ll slap your face

I do love that video of Tyra because it looks like she has a tick. I’m sure you looked fine for the NY Times photographer

Jessicas last blog post..My introduction to tongue action

I’ll bet you looked wonderful, though!

my friend can somehow make her eyes smile, I always told her that. When I do it, they just get watery and wide, lol. I’m also 5′2 so model size FAIL here oh and I proudly have curves! Hope the photo comes out well!
