Thanks for the reply Scorp, I was just wondering. I thought Tyra looked very catlike too but that's what I thought was cool about it.

I didn't think Yoanna looked surprised either. Her lips just look parted to me, not open in surprise.

I love how two people can look at the exact same thing and see something completely different. Viva la differance!

The pictures of the after party once again proves that Shandi is the only one who has a chance in the high fashion market. All she needs is an agency or individual willing to tweak her look, posture and teach her the ways of a model. I don't know why Mercedes looks funny there. :/

About Yoanna: She has toned a bit, but she still has that imbalanced shape. And please, spare me of the "she's too thin." If you want to see an extremely thin person, look at Shandi. Even I can't beat Shandi. I am 6' and 129 Lbs. I am very skinny on my upper body, skinny on my legs but have hips/curves. According to Yoanna's profile, she was 5' 11", 134 Lbs. I don't think she looks any thinner than previously. It's the toning that gives her a more appropriate look. To me she looks the same weight as Tyra, but doesn't have the fortune of well proportioned distrubition as Tyra does. Imagine Tyra for example wearing Yoanna's orange dress; she would have looked stunning and made you want to buy it.

Yoanna has the face of Lara Flynn Boyle and other celebrities people mentioned. I don't think her face is unique. She does nothing for me because she always looks the same in all of her pictures. Her face isn't flexible, whereas one of the things they want in "top" models is that flexibility. I see the same face over and over. People say the same about Mercedes. I would almost agree, but at least there's one picture I could see of Mercedes and not recognize that it is she. Yoanna is just there.

Thirdly, Yoanna's age. She cannot hide it. I remember a member saying when the show started that Yoanna looked older than her age. I totally agreed. She has that womanly look that is much older than her actual age. Nothing wrong with that, except it makes you inflexible. She looks more like she's in her late 20s and early 30s. Often the secret to being a successful model at a later age is lying about your age. If you're able to lie that you're 22 at most--in spite of being 23 or older, then you have the job. The reason people like Tyra, Heidi and the rest are still top models is because they made their names at very early ages.

There are always exceptions to rules. Maybe some of you are right about Yoanna's future, but I don't see it happening under normal circumstances. Best of luck to her. Only time will tell.

Yoanna was on Regis today. She said that when she decided she really wanted to pursue fashion as her passion, she went to a friend who was a personal trainer for help. It took her 2 and 1/2 years to lose the weight.

She also said she has her first photo shoot today..and that many of the girls are getting opportunities from the show. Also that she and Shandi and Mercedes really like each other and are friends.

She looked really good and is a good spokesperson, really personable and easy to talk to IMHO

Good point. As much as I'm glad Yoanna won and think she takes the best pictures, I also picture her as the spokewoman for Olay. Remember that European-accented woman with the same coloring as Yoanna? That's one person she reminds me of.

Yoanna was just on Entertainment Tonight. Looking great of course. Anyway they said she's going to be on the runway in the LA fashion show, and she's going to be the cover girl for Sephora's catalog next month. And she's not dating right now, for whoever cares.

Realfan I figured you were talking about Isabella but who knows? She was definitely in Olay ads and she's got an accent and she resembles Yoanna.

Interesting! I'm going to be at the LA fashion show too. I would love to know what designer she's modelling for, though, because I only plan on being on the Friday show. LA fashion is usually seen as the celebrity party show, and is generally not taken seriously. However, they're going to have some great designers this time, so I'm expecting more.

Yoanna is also in this week's People magazine. It's a good shot from the side ~ so you're not seeing the skin & bones view. Very flattering to her.

Yoanna was on with Ryan Seacrest today. She said she has just moved to NYC and is staying with a friend. She says people recognize her and it sometimes makes her late for go sees. She just finished her first runway show. I didn't really catch the name of the designer. Jay Emanuel was in the audience. She said she was glad that she didn't know he was there or she would have been very nervous. Ryan asked her about the advice Tyra and Janice gave. I can't remember what she said. She was wearing a flower print halter dress and open-toed sandals. The makeup person there even did her toenails for her. Her hair is still short. It's parted on the left. Ryan spoke about her weight loss.

looks like a one hour special of "where are they now" for May 11!!!

Top Model' Gets Extra Runway Time in Sweeps
(Tuesday, April 06 01:13 PM)

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - UPN is hoping one last glimpse at the contestants from "America's Next Top Model" can boost its May sweeps performance.

The network has scheduled a one-hour special, "America's Next Top Model: The Runway Ahead," for Tuesday, May 11. The show will catch up with the 12 finalists from the recently completed season, with special focus on winner Yoanna House as she begins her career, UPN says.

It's no surprise that UPN would want to capitalize on the show in sweeps -- "Top Model" is far and away the network's most-watched series this season. It drew an average of 6.3 million viewers per week during its run, which ended with House winning the title last month. The network has two more cycles of the show set for next season.
"The Runway Ahead" will follow House on some of her first post-show photo shoots and publicity appearances, as well as to the runways of L.A.'s recently staged Fashion Week. It will also feature new interviews with other contestants, friends and family, and updates on what the contestants are doing now.

For those curious as to whether second runner-up Shandi Sullivan was able to save her relationship with boyfriend Eric after cheating on him in Italy, there's no need to wait until the special to find out -- at the recent finale party the two were present and very much together

A little tidbit of gossip from Page Six:

April 25, 2004 -- NOW that the winner of "America's Next Top Model," Yohanna House, is a working model in the fashion industry, it looks like the show's creator, Tyra Banks, has taken off the kid gloves. Both House and Banks were shooting Wednesday at Milk Studios in Chelsea - Banks for Victoria's Secret and House for the June/July issue of Jane magazine - and arrived at 9 a.m. At about 3 p.m., Banks stuck her head into the Jane studio to find House was just starting in front of the camera. "Damn, girl," the shapely supermodel said. "You're on your first shot? I did 16 today" - and promptly hit the road.

I thought I saw a promo today with Yoanna announcing an upcoming Top Model show starting in May. Everyone here was yelling & I couldn't see or hear.
Did anyone else see the bit that I think I saw?

FYI: There is a "Where are they now" type show on UPN tonight, I think at 9 pm Eastern. You should probably check your local guides. Looks like Yoanna is a big time model, Shandi is back at Walgreens and of course Jenascia is back at Hooters. I'm hoping for some info on the season 1 girls.

Boring, boring, boring...

Most of them have gotten contracts and are working as models.

Catie and Camille are still irritating as ever.

Shandi is back at Walgreens, says she has meetings with 8 agencies and is saving up to live in NYC? Something doesn't seem right about all that, but I wish her well.

Good for April for continuing to model.

I'm witcha, Scorpiomoon -- I found this show boring. And Tyra still bugs. I learned as much on the forums... Blah blah.

One thing that struck me is how truly beautiful Yoanna's face is, and how "model-riffic" April is as well.

Shandi's boyfriend posts at one of the forums I've bookmarked, and that's right -- they've even been auctioning outfits from the show and t-shirts to help "get her to NY."
