What pays more? Runway couture or print/tv modeling?

I agree Fab. Tyra should refocus the show if she wants it to be believeable...especially now with Adrienne's new "career move"

Beachcomber, it all depends on who the girl is and if they have a contract with the company they do print ads for.

I remember the days of Cindy Crawford and Claudia Schiffer- they were making $15,000 a day on the runway. They would also get the million dollar cosmetic contracts.

I think your average model makes more if she gets a contract versus runway, unless she is a sought after model like Gisele. In her case, she can make millions doing both.

I honestly felt they made a mistake making Adrienne their top pick...... I think they should have went with the 2nd or 3rd runner up.

More on Adrienne (this may be old news)

just a quick note..there is no way that Cassie's hips were 39 inches. I would suggest that it was 36 and the guy measuring just read it wrong...he looked at it very quickly.

Of course, I would also suggest that Cassie never had a chance on this show. Average prettygirl look and tall (but not skinny) build...I only hope that her time on the show has not affected her mentally. To be told, ON NATIONAL TELEVISION, that you are TOO BIG! GAK!! that'd be hard to swallow.

ANYWAYS, Toccara is sure having a hard time. This is the 4th?? time that they have NOT had clothes her size available. The dresserperson was RUDE and mean. All the other girls were wearing nice glamourous clothes for their first pic and Tocarra gets Home Depot Orange blouse?????

She looked so sad in her pics.

It just aint right!!

I figure next week she will be out. She cant help but start being negative and when that personality comes out they will get rid of her In My Opinion.

regarding Adrianne, she did not go to Asia, Elyse was the one who went to Hong Kong and still continue her modeling career in Hong Kong at the moment.

Yeah, Elyse seems to be doing very well in Asia.

Side note about Adrienne: I read at TWOP that she is not only back in IL, but has gone back to waitressing.

It'll be interesting to see what Yolanda will be doing a year from now.

Pamy: I have a feeling her contract only lasted a year or so. She did get campaigns. Remember when she came back for the second season? She was wearing diamonds and told the girls she was wearing so much "bling" because she was the "face" of the diamond company (whose name I can't recall). It wasn't CoverGirl, but she did get something.

I think Tocarra is just beautiful, but it is unrealistic for her and for Tyra to think she will get high coutour(sp) and runway work. I think it was really mean of Tyra to send her to those fashion houses and expect them to have clothes to fit Tocarra, she was humiliated and made to feel like an outcast.
If Tyra wants to start introducing plus-sized models, she must realize that a woman with those huge breasts just won't be the one to make it in High fashion.
And if Tocarra seriously wants to be a model, she will have to stop eating everything and anything and lose some weight.
I am a chubby little old lady and realistically understand that I am not suited for high fashion work, and so should Tocarra. Or she will coninue to be humiliated.

About Elyse. I am glad to hear she is doing well, though not surprised, she has the natural body and grace for it.
Am sorry for Adrienne, she really wanted to be a model.
Has anyone heard about Shandy, who was one of my favourites?
Does anyone have link for Shandy & Elyse?
Thanks

Sorry, clsteam but I'm pretty sure I did read her saying she went to Asia for a week or so and did not get any bookings, which led her to set her sights on Milan/Europe, thinking she just didn't have the "look" that those in Asia wanted (unlike Elise).

Yankee, regarding Adrienne, she supposed to come to HK but however, the HK Elite agency has stopped her booking coz she wasn't confirmed with the dates, so she didn't come to HK, she chose Milan over HK..i know about this coz my ad agency have work related to Elite Modeling agency in HK.
I work in the advertising/modelig industry in between CA and HK all the time, so i'm pretty sure Adrienne has never work in Asia so far.

As for Elyse, i met her few times at work and at clubs in HK, she is doing great in HK but she is going back to the states this wednesday.


here're few pix of Elyse in HK
one is a private pix and the other 2 are from runway show

Oh, OK, sorry about that. Still thought I'd read that but can't find it, so I'll stand corrected :-)

Clsteam, thanks for the pix of Elyse, I can see why she would do well in Asia. Whoever did her makeup changed her completely from the wide-eyed Bambi look we saw on the show.

Catfat: From what I've read at the TWOP message boards, Shandi is working as a model and now works at a Walgreens in NYC.

Check out her thread at the TWOP message board.

Clsteam: Thanks for the Elyse pics. Man, she is thin.

Thanks for the Shandi link, Scorp. I still like her lankiness and vague expression.

Tonights's Show preview:

America's Next Top Model
8:00 PM - UPN
After meeting with stylists and publicity experts, who discuss each girl's image and personal style, the remaining "ANTM" contestants face a "red carpet" photo challenge. One participant seems to undergo a drastic personality change, while another adopts a diva-rific attitude and a third tells an US Weekly reporter how much she dislikes a fellow contestant. Not good, yo. Later, the group is asked to pose wearing only diamonds and a live tarantula -- and one gal panics. About the tarantula, of course. Finally, some of the models cause mayhem when they read their cohorts a fake piece of "Tyra mail," and one of the seven remaining ladies is ousted.

I have a feeling the girl who undergoes a drastic personality chance is Toccara -- and unfortunately, it won't be for the better...

spoiler - tonights show - there is no way they are going to cut someone because of fear of a taruntula spider, please! IF anything you have to admire Eva for sitting there!!

I think toccara cant make it on this show, but it has spotlighted her for other plsu size opportunities, I just think there are 2 others that should go before Toccara, based on the chalenges

I think Eva's fear of the spider gave her that extra something in the eyes they keep talking about. While the others were too "blank", she had some definite emotions going on and the picture did turn out great as did YaYa's.

I can't freakin' believe it.

Ok, yeah, it was inevitable Toccara would be eliminated. But before Ann? Come on! Ann has don't poorly almost every week! And they use some excuse about Toccara's personality changing in the last couple of days to boot her? WTF?

I was always open to believing Tyra Banks was genuine in her wanting to make this into not just some tacky reality show, but a serious model competition. But the other day, I saw her on Regis & Kelly. She said, with glee, how there were so many fights this season they had many to choose from while they were editing. I don't think she cares about these girls.

After hearing that, then seeing Tyra's teary talk with her mom about wanting to help Cassie, I wanted to gag. Tyra is so full of it.

All of these girls grate on my nerves. There's nothing about them that's likable--at all.

Thats weird. I posted in this thread at around 3am and its nowhere to be found.

I wrote that I was glad the judges are starting to see Yaya and her condescending knowitall way. I was starting to think I was the only one.

Also, I mentioned how I don't feel emotionally attached to any of these women enough to root for them. I like Eva and Anne for not taking themselves too seriously but beyond that, I don't care who wins.

What was the deal that happened with Tyra and Yaya after that hat competition. I was way preoccupied with ds and missed a lot of it. All I saw was Tyra giving Yaya a hard time about insulting someone????

Yaya apologized to the stylist, saying she WAS listening and was sorry that she had gotten so defensive -- it was out of line. Tyra then remembered she had wanted to say something about Yaya's attitude and called her back over. She told her that she owed the hat an apology, too (seriously) because saying it was cheap (or whatever) was insulting the person who picked it out and in this industry people often have thin skin. She told her that if she didn't get off her high horse (my words not hers), people wouldn't want to work with her and she'd never get anywhere.

I'm amazed that Toccara was booted, too. Ann should have been the one to go. She's had like one good photo shoot the whole time and out of 125(!) shots, the photographer only thought there was ONE that was vaguely usable. Toccara has done better than that. I think they only kept her as long as they did to try and make Tyra look good.

The scene with Tyra and her mom talking about Cassie was SO fake! I don't think Tyra has an acting career ahead of her. It seemed like it was totally a set-up to help Tyra look like a hero or something. Didn't work.

I was impressed that Eva made it through the photo shoot as well as she did. That girl was really freaking out with that spider, but her pictures didn't show it. Nice to see her work through her fears, even if it doesn't seem to have gotten her past her fear of spiders. :-)
