Models From ANTM Actually Get Work

Filed under: Celebrities with Style

tyra banksAmerica's Next Top Model is a guilty pleasure for many reasons: Tyra scolding the girls, Miss J being Miss J, and all of the messy, delicious drama that goes down in the House of Girl Model Wannabes. One thing it's not? A place to see someone get her start in the modeling biz. But maybe that's changing ...

DEX New York's line of mineral makeup

Filed under: Cosmetics, Get the Look, Beauty Tips

Annie ScottI recently had the opportunity to get made up by Catalina Ceballos, a makeup artist and teacher at DEX New York, a salon frequented by Tyra Banks and Posh (Victoria Beckham). This is me before, rockin' my pink hair for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Catalina took off all my makeup except my eyeliner, which she liked (it's a dark brown Lancome shadow applied with water). She trimmed my eyebrows, and brushed on a special shade of Tinted Hydrator, SPF 20, which she created for me by blending two shades. DEX New York's Tinted Hydrator has ginkgo biloba and ginseng to increase circulation.

Catalina then applied loose and pressed powder, again using two shades blended with a kabuki brush. She used a mineral illuminator auto-pen on my undereye circles over the powder.

Then came the color. Read on to see the "after" picture and see what she used on me! Also note: Most of the products she used are available on the DEX New York website.

Tyra, you've got some competition.

While America's Next Top Model is officially out of session, there is another fashion reality show vying to takeover ANTMS's Wednesday night prime time spot:

eBay WTF of the Day: "Fierce?" Liar.

Fierce? I beg to differ.
From Merriam Webster, a definition of fierce: "wild or menacing in appearance."

We feel that adequately describes "fierce," even in its newer, Tyra-fied incarnation.

And so, eBay sellers, we ask you to curb your incorrect usage of this word, such as for the shoes you see above, the "fierce" Aerosole suede wedges.

Cleveland's Next Top Model

Elle magazine says good-bye to Gilles Bensimon?

Filed under: Style in the News

Like any viewer who is addicted to America's Next Top Model, I can tell you that Gilles Bensimon is the famed fashion photographer who put Tyra Banks on the cover of Elle when she was just breaking into the industry. He also shoots the winner of ANTM in a fashion spread for the magazine each season as well.

Well, if the rumor WWD is reporting is indeed fact and not fiction, Miss Banks is going to have to revise her little prize speech for panel.

Apparently, Elle magazine's new creative director Joe Zee is finally ending the relationship between the mag and legendary photographer -- who has shot the covers of Elle for the past 20 years.

Sources tell WWD that Bensimon may shoot a couple more covers before his contract expires in December, but this glossy unity is pretty much done-zo.

Proof:

Zee hired Carter Smith to shoot Natalie Portman for April's issue and Tom Munro just came back from Los Angelas after snapping Madonna for the May cover.

Sad, but you can't keep a good man down for long. Bensimon's advertising campaigns for Sears, Kmart, J.C. Penney, and Iconix are breaking into fashion magazines this spring.

It was real while it lasted.

Tyra takes homeless chic to a new level on ANTM

Filed under: Celebrities with Style

I'm all for celebrities using their fame to bring attention to good causes. And I understand that Tyra's theme for Season 10 of America's Next Top Model is about giving something back. But, last night with the homeless photo shoot things were a bit over the top.

Let me back up and explain what happened. The weekly photo shoot for this episode featured the model contestants dressed down in "homeless" clothing (which it really wasn't, at all). Then they shot a scene with girls who were actually homeless dressed in couture clothing.

The idea behind the photo shoot was a great one. And maybe what the camera showed us last night in a one hour episode isn't the whole story. But, in essence the girls who were truly homeless were used as props. Most of the models barely said a word to any of the homeless girls or tried to get to know them and their stories. Meanwhile the models tried to tap into the emotion that someone on the streets might feel, when they just don't have the slightest clue what that would be like. Well, aside from Marvita and the girl from Somalia, Fatima, both who have actually experienced time living in shelters -- Tyra does love to pick a girl with a good sob story!

Watch the models try and be homeless in the clip below.



The whole thing just felt way too phony for my liking.

Anyways what did you think of last night's ANTM episode? Are there any clear favorites emerging? I like Claire. Who do you think should go all the way?

Tyra takes it off

Filed under: Videos, Celebrities with Style

I hate to indulge TV personalities when they pull dumb stunts just to get ratings. So, I'm happy to report that Tyra didn't fall into that trap. Instead, she decided to pull a really dumb stunt that involves her ripping her pants off -- that ought to work right?

Tyra, along with the front row of her studio audience, ripped their jeans off on Monday -- to be fitted with jeans that fit a woman more naturally. I guess it was meant to be some form of protest against the tyranny of blue jean designers. Somehow, I think the message might have been overshadowed by the fact that Tyra was awkwardly whooping it up in front of the camera without any pants on. Plus the fact that dudes will be the ones watching this video on repeat.

I probably got a little overly excited when I read the headline for this video -- but hey -- Tyra does flash the camera for a second. Too bad the cameraman was way too far back. Nice going cameraman, ruined it for everybody.

America's Next Top Model is a flop

Filed under: Runway Trends, Style in the News

America's Next Top Model - Cycle 1
We are on -- what? the seventh or is it the eighth? -- season of America's Next Top Model? Out of all of those seasons, I have yet to see any "top models" come out of the show. Apparently I am not the only one who feels this way. In this week's Answer Bitch section on eOnline, a reader asks the question about the "Tyra curse" and why her models never seem to get any work after the show.

Answer Bitch went to his big time fashion industry insiders and got this juicy nugget for us:

The fashion industry doesn't take the show seriously. Clients are finicky about choosing their own faces. People like to select their own girls, and to be handed a girl that someone else has deemed fabulous -- that equation doesn't really work out."

Makes total sense. That's like me telling Anna Wintour to take my fashion advice instead of using her own instincts. Sure I have some great advice but Anna doesn't want to hear that crap.

Tyra tries the boho look and fails

Filed under: Clothing, Celebrities with Style, Celebrity Fashion Mistakes

tyra banks in leggingsNote to Tyra: You are not a Hollywood starlet. I repeat you are not a Hollywood starlet. You may be a Hollywood star but you are no starlet.

For some odd reason Tyra banks felt that it was okay to dress like a girl ten years her junior and half her size. Now before you all jump down my throat (which I know you will do anyway), there is nothing wrong with Tyra's size. There is, however, something wrong with what she decided to wear for her size.

Leggings aren't for everyone (everyone should know that by now). Leggings are to be worn with a top that covers your near end, like a tunic or a mini dress. Tyra has failed to do that by opting for a shirt that barely covers her stomach. The second issue I have with the leggings is that they are barely leggings. In fact, they look like tights to me. Am I alone here? I can practically see through them.

Leaving the leggings alone for a moment -- the boho look? Even the real Hollywood starlets have started to abandon that look. Tyra it's time to start dressing like the powerful Hollywood star that you are. You have your own talk show and a popular (ish) television program; you're better than this Tyra. I know you are.
