America’s Next Top Model: Margherita Madness


By P-Baby Walker | | 5:12 pm | 25 Comments

Gasmii, I hope you all had a wonderful Halloween!  I know I did.  Not.   Approximately three trick or treaters showed up at my house.  Lucky for those three, I had gigantic 100 count bags of candy in anticipation of decidedly more than three needy children ringing my doorbell.  Those little bastards made out like thieves.  Not only that, but Mr. P-Baby and I attended a Halloween party dressed to the nine’s in the finest costumes that Walmart sells and  NO ONE ELSE was dressed up.  What the hell people?  Apparently we live in a town where everyone is dead on the inside and doesn’t believe in costumes or stuffing their kids with peanut butter cups.  Which, frankly, is no town I want to be a part of.  Good thing we are moving soon!

Anyway, this week on ANTM, the girls are back at the model pad and can hardly believe that they’ve made it into the top 6.  Me either.  Liz talks about how when she gets nervous she laughs or jokes which really chapped the judges’ asses last week.  So she’s going to turn over a new leaf and try to be very present throughout the rest of the competition, as it could change her and her daughter’s life forever.  And with that, I’ll give you all two guesses as to who gets eliminated tonight.  If it weren’t for you guys, I could have turned this shit off 4 minutes in and switched it to something less boring and more suspenseful, like the 700 Club or Antique Road Show.  But I love my Gasmii, so I must press on.

Also, in the first five minutes, my girl Chris is totally charming me by being proud of her win the week prior.   Since I’ve decided I like Chris a whole bunch, I’m sure the powers that be will be booting her fairly soon, which always happens. Chris is not high fashion looking but I definitely think she could hold down the fort in a Cover Girl campaign.

The ladies are lounging around conveniently in a group, all dressed and presentable, and Miss J pops in from around the corner.  He decides since the girls live right on the beach in Venice that they should go sight seeing.  I never understood why it always takes prompting from outside entities to get these uncultured idiots to go see things.  Anyway, they take a lovely little Mary Poppins-esque bike ride on beach cruisers to some famous bridge in Venice.  He tells them their next photo shoot is going to be on that bridge but it’s all a bunch of bullshit because these bitches are off to Venice, Italy as told to them by Newsie Tyra.  For real, Esther has got to be so pissed right now.

Everyone packs and shrieks and talks about how they’ve never been anywhere and if that wasn’t annoying enough, we are treated to some terrible animation depicting their journey across the pond.

Fresh off the plane, the ladies jump onto a boat and are ferried through the streets of Venice.  It seriously looks so amazing and I immediately want to drag Mr. P-Baby to the airport to hop on the next flight.  I refuse to let these strumpets ruin Venice, Italy for me, so for the next few minutes, let’s mute the TV.  Venice porn picture time:

If that doesn’t make you want to sit next to a fat, stinky traveler doing Sudoku wearing Crocs and drinking Ginger Ales with no ice on a 15 hour flight, I don’t know what else would.

The girls finally do something that makes sense and decide to get a snack at a cafe.  They start guzzling down the wine and I totes wish I was there but with my Living Celebrities Dinner Party list instead of the model wenches.  (For those curious, the list is Stanley Tucci, Howard Stern, Judy Blume, David Bowie and John Waters.)  Everyone is so excited and happy, with all the girls getting along swimmingly.  The day is just wonderful.  And then a bird shits on Liz.  Guess what we hear about for the next 34 years?  It’s not like it even got on her ugly 1995 Mallrats crop top.  It just got on her arm.  Get a paper towel and get the fuck over it.

The next morning, the girls wake up in their awesome Italian hotel to Tyra Mail.  ”Don’t be seduced by your surroundings or you might fall overboard.”  Chelsey puts two and two together as she knows it’s going to be on a boat but barely gets the word gondola out of her mouth.  I’m tempted to make fun of her but I’m frankly impressed she knows that a gondola is a boat and not a type of cheese or STD.

At the photoshoot location the girls meet up with Jay who introduces them to an Italian photographer named Simone Falcetta.  Hmm, nice try Jay but  this bald-headed turd is not doing it for me.  Where’s my little cannoli Francesco Carrozzini hiding out?  Sigh.

francesco

Jay tells the ladies that the concept today is going to involve a group picture emulating 18th century Venice with a male model posing as Casanova and the ladies posing as love interests vying for his attention around him.  I’m super pumped because as I mentioned in the minicap, I’m obsessed with the sexing and slutting on The Tudors.  Different country, different time period, but if it’s a slut in a corset, count me in.  What’s funny is that non-watcher Mr. P-Baby thinks it is actually a historic show about the real Tudor monarchy.  I don’t have the heart to tell him the truth 1. Because he claims it is one of the few shows I watch with depth and 2.  He’s probably right that I only watch garbage, Jeopardy excluded.

tudors

During hair and makeup, the girls meet the male model playing Casanova today and he sort of looks like Maroon 5′s Adam Levine.  Minus overall I’m in a band douchebagginess and Hollywood playboy germs.  The models all swoon rightfully so, but then he opens his mouth and ruins it.

I’m totally digging the styling of this photoshoot but my descriptions won’t do the outfits justice.  More pictures, Gasmii.

style 3

The photoshoot starts and the first group consists of Chris, Liz, and Kayla, with the ladies are getting all up in Casanova’s business.  Kayla kills it even though she doesn’t like dudes and had a nervous breakdown over posing with one last episode.   She also looks the most authentic in this get up but I find her fake mole kind of distracting.  It’s  very Robin Hood: Men In Tights for me and I keep thinking it’s going to move.

kayla mole

Liz won’t stop bitching about sweat rolling down her face and in her eyes, fidgeting like a five year old who’s wet his pants.  She is hot and uncomfortable throughout the shoot and makes it known to everyone.  It is amazing to me that someone with such a difficult background coming into this thing manages to be the whiniest, most entitled one out of the bunch.  How does that happen?  I know we’ve had a couple montages already this recap, but I think we are in need of a Liz Complains montage.  Sound good?

Chris is having trouble figuring out what to do with her face, hands, etc.  You know, what models do.

The second group is made up of Chelsey, Ann, and Jane.  Chelsey looks even more like Sookie Stackhouse this episode if Sookie were to become a vampire courtesy of Vampire Bill.  Once again Ann is all “I’m so awkward and distressed and shy and I don’t want to screw up but I don’t know what to do with my 8 foot limbs and freakishly small torso.”  Chelsey kicks ass during the shoot but she never shuts the fuck up about how driven she and how she wants first photo so I’m starting to dislike her.  She’s like the chick in high school who studies her ass off for a test, then takes it and claims she failed only to be rewarded with a B which makes her have a nervous breakdown because she wanted an A.  I hated those girls.

chelsey

Jane looks AWESOME.  Her face is perfect for this kind of makeup and styling and I can totally see her living during this time period tarting around the streets of Venice in her corset, seducing men to help carry her bread and cheese home and then asking them in for wine by the fire.

jane

Ann has difficulty figuring out what she wants to do, making it seem like she’s not doing well but as typical with Ann, I’m sure her picture will be “BEYOND.”

The shoot wraps due to rain but no big deal because the girls are off to Milan the next day.  I’m trying to pretend I’m perfectly fine with the fact that these morons are getting carted around Italy while I sit in my freezing house in sweatpants but I’ll admit I’m jealous.  But not that jealous because I, unlike Liz, know that Milan is not the same as Mulan and has nothing to do with Japan.  Or China for that matter since that’s where Mulan actually takes place, despite what Liz thinks.

liz idiot

In Milan, the girls arrive at their new Top Model house and are less than thrilled with the accommodations.  Mind you they get to stay in ITALY in this house FOR FREE but are pissed because it is on the small side.  I find smaller houses quite quaint and charming, even more so when they are FREE and in ITALY.

In the bedroom, they realize that there are only three beds.  Fuck.  Kayla’s ass best be getting one of those beds.

Tyra’s Nose for News camel toe shows up in the house, scaring all the ladies.  She explains to them the reason they are in the small digs is because it is more realistic to an actual unglamorous model apartment than the mansions of seasons past.  Tyra says the first apartment she stayed in while modeling in Italy was $30 a night with a bathroom down the hall.  The bathroom was shared by everyone.  Dear Tyra, that’s called a brothel.

tyra up size

Tyra tells the girls that the next day they are going to the Missoni fashion house.  They are all excited about this bit of news and I’m excited for them because their asses are lucky enough to be on a cycle where legitimate designers and photographers are participating.  Cycle 16 chicks are going to be totally bummed when ANTM returns to its roots of jumpsuits and reality whore judges.

The next day, the models arrive at Missoni and it is neat to see where such a prominent fashion house creates their fabrics and ideas.  Miss J greets them and introduces them to a lovely woman named Angela Missoni.  She’s really pretty in a middle-aged hot mom way and seems way too nice to be the possessor of a last name that makes people jump.

angela

Angela wants the girls to try on some winter collection clothing and walk for her.  The girls get all sweatered up in fabulous knits but as we learned at the photoshoot, it’s like 500 degrees outside so all the ladies are sweating like pigs.  I sort of feel bad for them but this is a once in a lifetime thing so I feel like they could probably deal with being in a sweater dress for like 20 minutes.  Also, it needs to be said that Ann looks absolutely ridiculous in her poncho thing.  I know Missoni is expensive and wonderful and blah, blah but they have essentially designed an extremely overpriced Snuggie.

ann blanket

After everyone is dressed, Miss J brings out the brand ambassador and accessory designer for Missoni, Margherita Missoni.  Guys, Margherita is one of those people who is naturally gorgeous and talented and I want to hate her but she is definitely working her Italian charm even on my ice cold heart.  Plus, her name makes me want to get my tequila on in the worst way.  And a tequila’d P-Baby = a Karaokeing to Styx P-Baby.   It’s refreshing to see a beautiful young lady who doesn’t look pinched, pulled, and processed within an inch of her life.  Anyway, she tells the girls that they look great in the dresses and that she’ll see them wearing the Missoni clothing again since she’ll be judging at the panel that evening.  I didn’t understand a lick of what she said first time around so as I do at my real life job, I just nod my head and smile because she’s so pretty.

margherita

The whole walking thing is kind of lame because it’s not really a challenge where anyone is going to win and it only last like 30 seconds.  It seemed to be more of a filler to show off Missoni agreeing to be on the show than anything else.  So we’ll just go on to judging.

Judge’s Panel tonight has a very Welcome to Hell feel to it as it is drowning in red and scorching temperatures.  Tyra looks like The Princess of Darkness herself in a strapless(!) black dress.  No one shoulder concoction tonight?

frozen hell

Everyone marches in in their Missoni stuff but they all look miserable due to the heat.  Now by this point, Tyra and friends are infamous for demeaning and torturing their models every cycle but was it absolutely necessary to dress these already calorie deficient ladies in knitwear for panel?  Surely Missoni has some fabulous frocks that don’t require being covered head to toe in yarn.  Also, why is no one drinking water?  Water doesn’t even have calories.   Anyway, Ann, Chelsey and Jane’s picture turned out great.

group shot 1

Nigel gushes over Chelsey’s photo, saying it’s the best she’s ever looked.

chelsey final

Ann looks OK but all the judges swoon over her once again.  They say her non confidence looks like confidence and that she looks like an incandescent aristocrat.  It all sounds like utter nonsense, so here is her picture.

ann final

Someone behind the scenes gets a high five from me for covering this:

ann zit 1

with this:

ann zit 2

The judges split on Jane with Nigel and Margherita thinking she looks like a big fat ho and Tyra and Andre loving it.  I don’t believe Nigel thinking Jane looks skanky.  You know that perv has got this shot hanging in his office, right next to one of Esther’s jugs. I’m in agreement with Andre and The Banks on this one.  Never thought that would happen.

jane final

All the girls are about to pass out so Banks makes every sit down.  Way to make your underfed, malnourished, dehydrated chippies stand around in sweaters in a sauna.  Are you actively trying to kill one of them?

Heatstroke drama aside, the next group shot is up.

group shot 2

Nigel thinks Chris looks amazing.  Is he for real right now?  He doesn’t like Jane’s picture but Chris who looks like she’s about to get eaten by a Venice river shark looks amazing?

chris final

No surprise here.  They all love Kayla’s shot.  Boring.  I’m just waiting for the episode where on top of her sexual abuse, destitute childhood, and being gay, Kayla’s going to drop the bombshell that she’s got two months to live.

kayla final

You want to know who looks like a ho in her picture?  Liz.  She also looks like a urine stream should be shooting out between her legs, like she’s marking Casanova dude with her scent so the other ladies will lay off his dong.

liz dong

After deliberation, Kayla gets best photo, pushing Chelsey closer and closer to nervous breakdown territory.  Since the editing monkeys behind the scenes think we are all idiots and give away the ousted model five minutes into the show, predictably Liz ends up getting the boot after deliberation.  Chris was in the bottom 2 with her so unless she kicks serious ass next week, she’s probably the next one gone.  That’s it for this week, Gasmii.  Come back next week to see Nigel get super pissed when Jane  refuses to put out has a model meltdown.

    P-Baby,
    Trick or Treating with a toddler and 11 year old required an advance reconnaissance drive by. So few houses decorated and even fewer were giving candy that it would have taken us hours to get the kids any candy if we didnt plan ahead. As it was, we had to get in the car and drive from select blocks to other select blocks. Halloween has tanked! Made me sad.

    On the Halloween front, we had NO trick or treaters this year, leaving me with an abundance of junk food I don’t even like. There weren’t any kids on our street at all this year, so I’m trying not to take it personally, but if I had known the little blighters were going to skip my house, I would have bought a six-pack of Reese’s peanut butter pumpkins and called it a day.

    As for ANTM, how is Ann still in this? She makes the same vacant face every week, and when they aren’t taking her picture, she makes a nasty little unattractive “I can barely get my lips over my teeth” pout. She is also so thin she looks unhealthy. Compare her to Margherita Missoni, who apparently models while still looking normal and beautiful. Why do European women get to look like that, but American “models” are expected to be size zero or smaller?

    “You know that perv has got this shot hanging in his office, right next to one of Esther’s jugs.” I am presuming you mean a photo of Esther’s jugs, not just a singular jug formerly belonging to Esther.

    What kind of girdle did they sew Tyra into before pouring her into those pants? (The ones she was wearing to the house in Milan.)

    Lastly…I thought Missoni is what they sell at Target…

    LOL, cattyfan. I did indeed mean “one” of Esther’s jugs, as in one photo of Esther’s jugs. But I almost wish it was a singular jug formerly belonging to Esther because that would be even weirder. It’s possible Missoni did a discounted line for Target that I am unaware of due to my unfortunate luck of not living in nearby proximity to Target the past few months. Many prominent designers do Target lines (Zac Posen and Proenza Schouler off the top of my head) but it is also possible you are thinking of Merona, a tried and true Target brand that I love!

    love,
    P-Baby

    Mossimo is the Target line.

    Also, while Liz was whining about getting shat on by the bird, Jane was, too. In her hair. It’s a quick shot between Liz’s bitchfest but you hear Jane ask Ann if she was hit, too, and Ann looks in her hair and says yes. But Jane isn’t a pain in the ass, so while she was busy washing it out of her hair, Liz was busy complaining complaining complaining.

    But what surprised me was that Kayla bitched about the small model house in Milan. All I thought was “Didn’t take her long to get spoiled,” and then wanted to slap her and say “YOU ARE IN MILAN. Why does it matter?” I never understood the need to have these luxurious accommodations when they’re not going to spend much time there.

    And my living celebrity dinner party would consist of Bruce Campbell, Carl Hiaasen, Sigourney Weaver, Meryl Streep, and John Waters when he was finished with your.

    ty for the recap :P and happy halloween from australia, not that we celebrate it lol.
    i havent finished reeading but i just want to say, are these bitches for real?
    that house in milan is not “unglamorous” trust me! mmkay, have you ever stayed at a “three” star accommodation in italy for 150 euros a night and i swear comfort inn for 40 dollars in australia was better.
    european accommodation have always been on the small side, unless its freaking huge mansions, its only australia/usa where everybody wants a six bedroom, 8 bathroom house, with a pool, tennis court, for a family of 4, in other words a “McMansion”.
    that place in milan they stayed at in Milan, is similar to the place i stayed at in paris and that cost 200 euros a night and it wasnt even a house, it was a studio apartment.
    suck it up hoes, cuz if you were “real” models you wouldnt even be staying at 200 euros a night studio apartments.
    dumb asses.

    I hated Halloween in Chicago because that damn doorbell rang all day long and way into the night, and most of the time I’d open the door to 20-year-old Wicker Park hipsters who thought they were being so damn retro.

    Here in France they (the candy companies and supermarkets) have been pushing Halloween for years, without much success. Still, there are enough people willing to play the game that my kids come back with bagfuls of candy. Good for them. I have some found memories of treat or treating.

    Anyhoo…Ann is really disturbing to look at. She may take a decent photo, but in person she looks too much like a Tim Burton character. And this whole ‘wah-wah I’m so shy’ thing is wearing thin. YOU signed on to be on this show, you idiot. Suck it up already.

    Of course Jane’s going to win this. They’re setting Chelsea up for the heartbreak of third place, just like they do every season. No way Kayla or Chris can be in the final, so it’s going to be a Jane/Ann showdown. And since Ann walks like a one-hour-old colt, she’s going to be a total failure at the final runway thing they always do. Here’s hoping they build another of those extreme catwalks, you know, where the girls have to climb hills and stairs or conveyor belts or whatever.

    I’d put a photo of one of Esther’s jugs on my wall anyday.

    Also: $30 a night? That’s $900 a month. Boo hoo for you, Cameltyra Banks.

    i want Jane to win this, but its like the season with katazyrna, anya and fatima and whitney “oh my gosh” won.
    so i wont be surprised if ann won even if her walk is stank, i.e the season where mckey won… mckey walked like a horse.
    and its ann is really irritating me with the boohooo feel sorry for me, seriously gargamel GET OVER IT!
    stop bloody whinging about how your slipping back, shy, dont know what to do, and crying about it and do something about it. its not freaking finding a cure for cancer for god sakes, its modelling!!
    i mean, dont these girls flip though magazines? if you want to be a model SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo bad… look at some magazines or watch fashion tv. seriously, after watching the entire NYFW on fashion tv, i know how to walk like a model and after a few flipping through some mags, you will easily learn some posing and shit.
    and you know when tyra came into the milan house, i totally KNEW what she was going to say!!! i knew she was going to talk about “her days” lol tyranasaurus cannot resist 1 minute without telling us about “her days”
    and liz shouldnt have lasted this long, yeh yeh she had androgeny etc but she wasnt modelling material and all the mammas who come on this show, please dont talk about your baby and doing it for your child soooooo much, WE KNOW!
    lol reality tv brings out the judgemental side of me :P sorry
    and why the hell does liz whinge soo much ? lol maybe its editing but dayum … imagine if she whinge that much at the homeless shelter, the volunteers woulda booted her outta there.
    also LOL that mossimo is sold at Target in USA, because in australia, that shit is expensive and all the “more money than sense” people love that shit.
    as for missoni, their stuff is pretty cute and the fabrics they use seem to be nice but yeah, $$$ doesnt grow from the tree in my backyard so i can just look and say its nice. anyway sometimes Uniqlo brings out some good knits too, like mongolian cashmere knits for 60 dollars! DAYUM!
    anyway Jane for the win :) at least she looks modelly and screw personality, models are only supposed to be clothes racks.

    At last that bitch is gone. Knowing it 5 minutes into the show (the phone-call of doom to her daughter gave it away) made the episode much better than it really was.

    I can’t believe those bitches complained about the house. I live in France and I would kill to live in that kind of house for free even for a short period of time. Try to live in Paris when a small studio cost you between 600 and 800 euros per month bitches (and that is only the rent). And when I say small, I mean dollhouse small.

    I remember a time (back in cycle 1) when Tyra flied them to Paris and put the six girls in the two smallest hotel rooms she could find and nobody bitched and moaned for hours… because they were in fucking Paris for free.

    Once again Jane was robbed of a FCO at panel. Nigel was so full of shit that night or maybe he was still pissed about Esther’s big boobs’ elimination. The guy couldn’t make it clearer that he doesn’t like her… and he is gonna make her cry next week ? Asshole !

    Isn’t next week, go-sees week ? If so I can’t wait for the Ann breakdown.

    @Xouille i agree with you, those bitches complained about that house.. i was like what the hell?!!
    tourists made mega bucks to stay in paris short term studio apartments, like 2600 euros for 14 days was the cheapest i could find and that was considered “3 star” accommodation because the others were arounr 4000 euros.
    that house in milan would be very expensive to rent, god those girls are dumb!!

    lol i think these girls expect that when they are “real models” after the show, everytime they are booked for a show for milan, paris, london, tokyo, etc… they will stay at penthouse suites at The Parisian Hotel Regina Paris or Savoy in London.
    Dream on bitches…
    and also, Jane’s photo should have been FCO and and and and and she TRIED really hard during the photoshoot, girl was posing moving changing it up.
    whereas Ann, miss boo hoo was all just laying there like a rag doll doing the “i dont have a boyfriend, so i dont know how to connect with a male model” ITS called acting.
    As Tim Gunn would say “make it work”
    also Re: the heat situation.
    the male model seems unfazed and he was in costume too. and i didnt hear Jane, kayla or ann complain about the heat.
    only chelsey and liz were the whingiest in this episode.
    i cant wait for go-see! and i wonder whose show they will close with?
    dolce and gabbana? prada? gucci? valentino???

    I have to state for the record that next week, I WILL BE IN VENICE too!!! Can’t wait. So excited!

    And as a historic costumer, I also have to explain that those “fake moles” are called patches. They were very very stylish in the 18th century. Some people even wore several at the same time! They must have looked like they had chicken pox. You know, like if chicken pox were shaped like Lucky Charms.

    “You want to know who looks like a ho in her picture? Liz. She also looks like a urine stream should be shooting out between her legs, like she’s marking Casanova dude with her scent so the other ladies will lay off his dong.”

    This made me laugh out loud. Repeatedly. Thanks for a great recap!

    Excellent recap, as always!

    My situation is the same as everyone’s for Halloween – I was at a friend’s party that night and we didn’t have ONE trick or treater and the house we were at was one of about 3 on the whole block that had its lights on. Disgraceful. I too have very fond memories of trick or treating and I find it kind of upsetting that my kids probably won’t get to have the same great experience I had.

    For my dream dinner party, I would have the following: Felicity Huffman, Meryl Streep, Kate Winslet, Hillary Clinton and JK Rowling. And Prince Harry too, because I think he’s adorable.

    Do you think Ann is, well, stupid? She also looks so baffled in her pictures.

    I thought that Chelsey and Jane had the best pictures. What crawled up Nigel’s ass about Jane? Does he hate her because she’s rich?

    Frankly, I’ve never liked Nigel. Sure, he’s good-looking, but he always seemed kind of pervy to me. And he REALLY hates it if a girl isn’t properly submissive to him, like if she makes a smart remark. I think he likes to push these young girls around and get his jollies from them.

    Angela Missoni did give Ann the worst, bulkiest and most unflattering outfit to wear. If it makes a 6ft 2in skinny girl look like a short tub of lard I can hardly imagine what it would do to a normal woman.
    Other then that the rest of the collection was gorgeous.
    I think Nigel is jealous that he is being shown for what he is — a boutique photographer. The others…wow! What absolute talent. I have to say that I am loving this season.

    Snootchy, you grabbed the same quote I would have-too hysterically funny, I too howled!!! So fun to see this “international” flavor in the comments–really cool! Have fun in Venice, GF!!! Good for you!!!

    I am utterly unspoiled and would have said nothing about the room.

    How funny that Liz’s loser epi, where she is featured mucho, was so f’in irritating–shut up, Bitch!!! I do think she’s stuck in a negative head space, and sadly, sniff, I am so constantly complaining about this non-perfect world!!! even here . . . sniff . . . but I was still happy to see her go.

    I thought Kayla rocked, I didn’t know you were such a non fan, P-baby. I thought Jane looked great too. She reminds me of my genetically blessed niece-tho at her young age she’s a lot more personable. Not sure why Jane seems kind of dull.

    Halloween in my hood is quite busy-my first time ever in CA. I ran out of candy last year, and it was quite dreadful-went through four bags of mixed stuff this time.

    As for celebrity dinner-how fun too – it’s hard but James Gandolfini and Sean Astin would be solid picks! hee! Madonna, Chrissy Hynde and one more hot one (in my little world) Dan Lauria(the father from wonder years so you don’t have to look it up-he’s an older version of SEan Astin IMHO, and so angry . . . ooo . . .

    @itchy – I would, but doesn’t France already smell enough like pee? I kid! I kid! I love France and actually we are going down to Nice on this trip as well.

    @Juddfan – You know you really hit on something that has bothered me about Liz. For someone who has literally nothing, she acts very entitled. I would expect that behavior from Jane (isn’t she the Cardiologist’s daughter?), but she seems very grounded and humble. If I had been living in the streets and homeless shelters, I would be pinching myself every day I was on that show to make sure I wasn’t dreaming. And I would have been celebrating that I got hit by some bird shit, because that bird shit hit me IN FUCKING VENICE, for crying out loud!!! On the shoots, water in my eyes? No problem. Dump another bucket on me because I am dressed in glamourous clothes being photographed by world famous photographers who might be able to get my ass off the streets an into a well paying job. Am I right?

    It all depends on what cheese region you’re in, Snootch. I’m in the part of France that smells like a goat fart.

    I should have added another teaser. Read next week’s recap for my Dead Celebrity dinner party list!! Love you all, thanks for reading!

    ps. @juddfan, it’s not that I’m not a Kayla fan. I actually think she can be quite striking at times. What i’m not a fan of is the fact that some behind the scenes producer weenie goaded her into talking about being a lesbian/sleeping on the floor for the first half of the season and my BS tolerance grew Ann’s waist thin. That’s all. I’ll be OK if she wins, for my own personal ability to sleep at night knowing she should at a minimum have the means to buy a bed.
