I realize that I'm a thigh man, in addition to other things -- there's something very compelling about a nicely-turned woman's thigh. A smooth line. I find I notice a woman's thighs -- she's got to have'em. I'm no fan of the anorexic matchstick legs you see on fashion models and various eating disordered sorts in the city. If a woman's thighs are skinnier than my upper arms, it just looks sickly to me. I'm sure that's the subconscious mating cue, there, like health vs. sickness. Gimme some thigh! I need something to hold onto!
I'm sure watching ANTM makes me more conscious of that, seeing those half-starved, half-mad models doing their thing on the show -- all of them waifs, even the obligatory "plus size model" (What is she, a size 6? A fashion model zeppelin?) is too skinny. There's fit and attractive, and then there's starvation, and all of the ANTM models are like that -- just way too skinny. And they say the camera adds 10 pounds to you, so it makes me wonder just how much worse they look in real-life.
They did two eliminations last night -- Gabrielle "I Look Like Matt from 'Nip/Tuck'" and Naduah "I have a shaved head and grew up in a cult." Most of the gals this season are particularly crazy -- not all, but most. Amazing to think this show's been on for so many years!
I still don't really have a favorite, yet. The one with the eyebrows did a good job last night, but I don't particularly like her. Jessica, the Arkansas Baby Daddy Girl, did well, too -- she seems nice enough, and is very pretty, but I haven't cottoned to her, yet. Ren, the wild card, was so whiny, she was annoying me a great deal -- and Tyra, to her credit, commented on her whining on the set by pointing out her tattoos, said "You clearly have endured pain and discomfort before...." I loved that.
Here they all are. Stick Chicks on parade. Of course, I'm busy trying to find their astrological signs, to see whether the annoying ones are annoying me especially because they're particular signs that invariably annoy me.
