Roteach | Monday, July 14, 2003 - 10:18 am     I am on AOL, so I don't need the link, but let me go to my Internet Explorer and check it out for you. |
Roteach | Monday, July 14, 2003 - 10:21 am     Even when I go through my IE I get the AOL content page, so I can't tell you where to look. The magazine says for newsstand buyers to sign in by using the Web Access Code that I gave you but it doesn't say where to put the code. If worse comes to worse and you can't access the site, I can type the article in. You just won't get the photo. |
Jan | Monday, July 14, 2003 - 12:08 pm     I'm with Aunt bob..I got in all right with Ro's # (thanks Ro) but there is no article to be found..not even on search. I guess she isn't important enough to be put on the net? I searched under Adrianne and Top Model but nothing current comes up. |
Roteach | Monday, July 14, 2003 - 12:22 pm     Ok folks here is the text of the article. It's from People 7/21/2003 Winners Runway Success Tough-talking Midwestern tomboy Adrianne Curry scores a life makeover on America's Next Top Model Age: 20 Hometown: Joliet, IL Old Job: Steakhouse waitress New Job: Supermodel-in-training. Why you know her: She beat out 9 others to be crowned by Tyra Banks, executive producer of UPN's guilty pleasure. "It was beyond unexpected," says Curry, who won a Revlon contract, a top agent and a spread in Marie Claire. "I was not aware tht I cleaned up so well." In the beginning: In junior high Curry was 5'1" with size-11 feet. "I constantly tripped on myself," she says. "I never matched my clothes, didn't brush my hair. I didn't care." Sprouting to 5'10" changed her atitude. Why she won: With her mom, Christine, 44, laid off from her Kraft factory job last year, Curry saw the prize as a way to help out. Says Banks: "I loved that winning this would change her life." Love life: Recently split from her boyfriend of four years, Curry has no plans to marry. Unless, she says, a proposal is forthcoming from Trent Reznor of the band NIne Inch Nails (no, she's never met him). Where she's headed: With this leg up, Curry plans to "excel something fierce in modeling" after being fejected for seven years by Chicago agencies. "One said they had the feeling they were going to regret not signing me. I say, "Regret away!" Well, that was the article. The picture is very good. She's reclining in the dress she wore around NY. Her right hand is above and framing her head. Her hair is wavy and she has very subtle makeup on. There is another pic (small) on the top with her and Tyra after she won. That's all folks. |
Jan | Monday, July 14, 2003 - 12:46 pm     Thanks muchly Ro. She is so down to earth...I hope she gets the success that she wants and that it doesn't turn around and bite her in the butt!! She just strikes me as so vulnerable! |
Roteach | Monday, July 14, 2003 - 03:09 pm     Jan, somehow I think that even though she strikes us as being vulnerable she will grow a thick skin very fast. You have to be able to take rejection as well as praise and somehow I think Adrianne can do it. |
Jan | Monday, July 14, 2003 - 03:23 pm     I hope someone reports in here if they ever see her on a shoot that is not related to this show...ie a real model job that she gets ! |
Aunt_Bob | Monday, July 14, 2003 - 03:40 pm     Thanks for the article read, Ro. I am so impressed with this young woman. I'm with Jan ..."I hope she gets the success that she wants and that it doesn't turn around and bite her in the butt!! She just strikes me as so vulnerable!"...I get the same vibes, but wish only the best for her! I guess this means I'll have to venture out to the newstands to get a peek at the pic?  |
Roteach | Monday, July 14, 2003 - 05:09 pm     Aunt_Bob, I guess you will have to. It's on pg.74 of the magazine with John Kennedy Jr. and his wife on the cover. |
Scorpiomoon | Monday, July 14, 2003 - 07:13 pm     Thank you so much, Ro, for taking the time to type this out. |
Catfat | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 10:04 pm     I just saw a commercial on TV for a casting call for the America's Next Top Model show in Seattle, so I guess this will be for number two. Or is it number three? |
Laura11103 | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 11:25 pm     Cool. It would be number two. |
Roteach | Sunday, August 03, 2003 - 10:38 am     Scorpio, no problem. Has anyone seen Tyra on the Victoria's Secret ads? I keep thinking that Adrianne should be on them. Does anyone know in what month's Marie Claire magazine Adrianne will be featured? |
Kappy | Monday, August 04, 2003 - 04:53 pm     No, Ro, I don't know what month she'll be on Marie Claire but I swear I passed a magazine stand very quickly two days ago and saw her on the cover of what I thought was Vogue. But I didn't have time to go back and see if it was her. It might not have been Vogue but it definitely looked like Adrianne with a simple straight forward head shot sans any dramatic elements. Now I need to find out what magazine it was so I'll know I wasn't hallucinating, lol. |
Scorpiomoon | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 01:09 pm     Check this out (from zap2it.com): 'Top Model' Makes 'Half & Half' Cameo (Wednesday, August 06 12:29 PM) LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - Adrianne Curry, who overcame past modeling failures, a flat Chicago accent and a refusal to pull her hair out of her face to become "America's Next Top Model" will make her sitcom debut on UPN's "Half & Half." Curry, who arrived on "Top Model" as a 20-year-old waitress from Joliet, Illinois, will stretch her acting chops to play a character named Roberta, also a waitress. She will appear in two episodes, the show's season premiere on Monday, Sept. 15, as well as the sophomore comedy's second episode, airing one week later. After arriving on UPN's popular dramality series as something of a diamond in the rough (host and executive producer Tyra Banks barely noticed her in the opening rounds), Adrianne's surprisingly photogenic beauty and willingness to say and do anything on camera won fans. In the show's finale, Adrianne outlasted first clinical researcher Elyse and finally Shannon, an 18-year-old student from Ohio. Adrianne won a Revlon modeling contract, a deal to be managed by Wilhemina Models and a guaranteed appearance in Marie Claire magazine. UPN has already picked up "America's Next Top Model" for a second season. |
Jan | Wednesday, August 06, 2003 - 01:19 pm     Great to hear. I'll have to check it out even though I never watch sitcoms. Thanks for the info, Scorpio. |
Not1worry | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 01:15 pm     There is an interview with Elyse on www.televisionwithoutpity.com. Not bad, it does shed a lot of light on the show. Go read it and see what you think. |

Catfat | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 10:03 pm     Can someone tell me when the new series starts? thanks |
Scorpiomoon | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 11:10 pm     Catfat: As far as we know, it starts in January. |
Fluff | Friday, August 22, 2003 - 07:01 am     I can't wait.  |
