I'm volunteering for a charity fashion show Monday night. The clothes will be made out of chocolate and apparently a couple of the models will be from ANTM but I don't won't know what season until maybe Sun. during orientation or Mon. the day of the event.

Cool stuff.

Bring a camera with you. I'd love a pic of Toccara nibbling on one of the outfits.

I'm trying to decide if I can still do this. I've been having some major coughing/hacking bouts while recovering from the flu. I'd hate to be around all that food coughing. I should know by Saturday if I'm better.

This is the event. I'm hoping the group I volunteer for posts pictures.

Oh no, my Katarzyna was elimianted! So shocked. She should have been in the finale.

Why do I have a feeling Anya might win. She's doing so good but I dont want her as the winner. I cant get past her voice

Yeah I was kinda shocked when she left, but I still didn't want Whitney to leave.

 

[Havok83]

Congratulations Whitney. Finally Tyra picked the big girl. Im happy for her

 

[tzarinna]

Here, here.....right on, Whit!

 

[JP]

Go Whit!

 

[javon]

I'm happy too. I would've prefered her or Anya, so it's all good. Although I still think Dominque she have been in the final three, not Fatima.

 

[Havok83]

Dang, theres another Top Model controversy this year. They are saying that Whitney was prepicked to be the winner and told to gain 10-20 pounds so that she could be this year's plus size girl. There are pics of her here looking much slimmer before ANTM and they said she lied on camera about always being big and teased for being fat

I saw those pics and wondered why she was so skinny. Damn Tyra, why you be so crooked?

 

[javon]

Damnit! First Saleisha, and now her. This sucks.

^^ Whitney looking not so plus size.

Oh well, plus model or normal (whatever that means), Whitney was the best of the final girls.

I'm still shocked that Kat didn't make the finals or for that matter that she got booted before Dominique. That was sooooo wrong.

Don't know, I was still getting over the flu so I didn't go. I haven't spoken to the volunteer coordinator to ask her.

me 2, I wanted the top 3 to be Dom, Kat and Whit, with any of them winning

I doubt they'd create a plus sized models when there are many already out there, plus these pics don't prove that she's thin, she looks like she's sucking in her stomach, maybe she grew up thick, lost some weight to model, but couldn't get down small enough, I mean look at her arms and legs, their not boney, but rubenesque like they are on the show

You know, with the rumors of the CW's demise, next season could be the final season of the show on CW. Although it's likely to be picked up by another network if the CW folds. I could see NBC picking this show up and putting it on Bravo or something.

IDK, isn't it the Networks biggest show right now, or one of them?
