You wanna be on top (SFW)? [More:]We need a bunny on ANTM!
Do you think that there's a market for overweight balding middle-aged nearsighted male models? If so, I'm in.

I know for a fact that I do not have what it takes to be American's Next Top Model. I think you're our best candidate, Pinks.

I'm pretty good at throwing tantrums and PDAs. But alas, I'm also short.
posted by mudpuppie 13 March | 12:09
So what are the requirements for this thing? Because it sounds like I can give octothorpe a run for his money.

18-27 years old, 5'7", in good physical health, no national ad work in the last 5 years (although some previous contestants and winners have had this, so maybe they don't enforce that one), and no contracts or representation that you wouldn't be able to terminate before the start of the show.

Dammit! Too old for The Real World, too old for ANTM--where's a thirtysomething person supposed to go to be exploited in reality television?

Top Chef, I guess.

Sorry, too short.

You have to be 5'7"? Exactly? How much tolerance do they give, like .25" either way? Huh.

God, I just had to google to see if Eva was 5'7'' because I knew she wasn't.

The only reality shows I'm ever going to be eligible for are What Not To Wear, Extreme Makeover, 10 Years Younger and the like. Although Wife Swap could be interesting...

Oh, and:

GO FOR IT TPS!

Hey, I'm 18-27 years old and 5'7", although the "in good physical health" is debatable. Last weekend, I had to walk up the stairs to my car on the 9th floor - I made it 5 flights before I started losing my breath.

I always thought Specklet could model. She has an "interesting face".

5'7"? Aside from Kate Moss, have there been any significant models that short? (SHORT FOR MODELS, I mean.)

mgl: you have to be 5'7" or taller. And yes, winner Eva Pigford is only 5'6.5", apparently- I wonder if they knew that when she came on the show, or if she snuck in.
posted by ThePinkSuperhero 13 March | 14:47
Wow, 'Pigford' is a seriously unfortunate name for a model. Or anyone, really.
posted by mudpuppie 13 March | 15:41
I think it's a great name for a pompous, professorial talking pig.
posted by box 13 March | 15:44
I nominate TPS. Fer sure.

Too short, fat, old and ugly, thankfully. i couldn't give Tyra a straight face.
There are auditions near.
i like Claire, and am glad the anorexic girl, loud girl, that other girl is gone. Can't wait for more eliminations. Circumcision girl needs to go.

I love you, box.

And thanks for the compliment, muddgirl! I fear I am too old, too short, and too out of shape for any of these modeling gigs. (I did once, years ago, get scouted to be a runway model in Japan. They like short, pale, freckled girls with vaguely Asian eyes. But I never would have been any good at it. And my posture is crap.)

Oh, and if you're doing 5 flights before you start puffing, I'd say you're in fine, fine shape.
posted by Specklet 13 March | 17:36
Yeah, but those last four flights I was gasping like a fish out of water.
