It's time to check in with Anime-Eyes, who nervously says these are her first go-sees ever and she's self-conscious about her horrible walk. She stops off at Osklen first and meets up with Oskar Metsavaht, who says he liked her personality, but she was very shy. Looking over her portfolio he tells her "I liyeek you een peectchurss." Instead of just leaving it there, Anime offers to walk for him in one of his dresses, and starts prancing about the room like some underfed Clydesdale in an earthquake. Oskar is suitably impressed...
..."That dress looked more graceful on the hanger."...
When she mercifully finishes, Glum-Faced Oskar tells her she walked too slowly. Anime giggles nervously and apologizes, "I'm really nervous! I'm, like, shaking!" Naturally, Glum-Face really doesn't give a shit about that, and his honest assessment of her is, "Shee can beeuh goot for photo-campayeens, bot shee's notuh raiydee foruh ketwok... edall!" In case you didn't decipher it: Anime + Pictures = Yes. Anime + Catwalk = Laughingstock x Ruination.
Meanwhile, MeeMaw's decided she's going to walk to most of the other sites, she believes spending precious minutes in the car is going to waste tons of time. Fo Ho, on the other hand, ain't walking anywhere, and she has the cab driver practically pull up into the doorway of Cris Barros before she gets out of the taxi.
Meeting with Cris herself, Fo Ho is very personable, adopting the Brazilian custom of women greeting each other by alternating cheek-kisses, and Cris seems to like her immediately, saying she's "a very nice girl, I like her ethnic look and her face is strong!" Fo gets to walk for Cris, who advises her to try and be a little bit more natural...
...well, how natural do you expect her to be when you put her in a First Communion dress?...
Afterwards, Cris admits that "Fo should be taller." and that her lack of height would make it "complicated for the clothes". I had no idea clothes could be so sensitive! Now I feel like I should start apologizing to that dirty pile of jeans laying helplessly on the floor in my closet... but I won't because they're so damned lazy, they won't even bother to put themselves in the washing machine. Fuckers.
Over at Huis Clos, MeeMaw is meeting with head designer Clo Orozco (who looks uncomfortably like Yoko Ono, dark shades and all) and who else shows up? Teyomboy again! She hasn't seen one single designer yet, because everywhere she goes some other girl has already gotten there first! So, once again, instead of waiting for MeeMaw to finish, she just up and leaves. Impatient, much?...
...This is not the face you want behind you in line at the DMV...
AmINuts has entered Ellus Limited where she's kissing ass at the speed of light with designer Adriana Bozon, gushing over how "amazing" her clothes look. She admits in confessional that her pictures have not been all that hot, but knows she has one of the strongest walks of all the girls, which she happily demonstrates for Miss Bozo, who immediately says she would book Nutsy for a fashion show... but for a photo campaign, not so much.
Teyomboy's headed over to Ellus as well, and luckily AmINuts is just leaving, so nobody gets bitchslapped or beat down. Miss Bozo puts Teyomboy in some torn-up jeans and a silvery moon-jacket and lets her strut her stuff...
...it's like a trailer for "Joisey Goils... In.... Spaaaaaaace"!...
Apparently, this look is very pleasing to Miss Bozo, because she says she would definitely want Teyomboy to be in her show! Yay for finally meeting with somebody, Little Miss I-Can't-Wait! With 2 hours remaining, the number of go-sees they've each completed is: MeeMaw - 3, AmINuts - 2, Teyomboy - 2, Fo-Ho - 2 and Anime-Eyes - 2.
Over at Osklen, Glum-Face is impressed with AmINuts' walk and says he'd book her for his ketwok, but over at Adriana Degreas, Bitchy Assistant Caio is watching Fo Ho model a bikini and (apparently) speaking for Adriana he garbles, "Sheewoo nott boook Fo, shee eez nod quite highah forr de bitchwearr liyeen!" Wait, how tall do you have to be to wear a fucking swimsuit? Is she so short that the bottom is dragging on the ground?
...I think even Adriana might believe Caio needs a good punch to the nuts. Or a blowjob. ...

Let's play a game! What else PAINS MeeMaw...
I'm guessing eating a Fruitloop pains her. All those calories.

I have to say it... I like MeeMaw. I think she has a fabulous sense of style and carries herself very well. I also think that Anime is beyond cute and I want to hang her from my rear view mirror. I don't really like AmINuts though she does have a fantastic body. Her face just doesn't do it for me. As far as Teyomboy goes, when I see her normally, I don't get it. I don't think she is pretty at all. She is all teeth and chin. But she does look stunning in photographs. She will probably win this thing, but I still prefer Meemaw (for now at least).
I also put the caption in babelfish. Hee hee! Funny recap as always, J-Mo! Thank you!

The go-see assignment always makes me so nervous! You's think that they'd never watched a season before, because every single frackin' time one of the girls is late. It's so bad it actually stresses me out a little bit. Just skip a go-see girls! Also, every time that Teyona showed up behind someone there was twisted little part of me that was happy. She's such a foregone conclusion at this point that I can't help but get irritated by her (plus, I find her boring, and the DON'T TOUCH was super obnoxious after she won). Anime for the win!
I felt like this judging may have been one of the most hypocritical yet. I mean, doesn't Tyra *always* tell the girls to practice in the front of the mirror. Now, suddenly, practicing is somehow wrong? Je confused.
Oh, and Pepto-Jaysmol...hilarious.

I feel stressed out with those Go-Sees and I didn't watch that episode. IMO, the whole show is becoming boring and I only to care about reading J-amor's recaps! Thanks, J!
I wonder if they'll ever go to Rio de Janeiro or to some exotic place in the Northeast!?

Fo's height suddenly becomes an issue 11 episodes into the season? Why bother having her on the show at all? For that matter, if MeeMaw's age is going to prevent her from winning this thing, why bother letting her on?
Unless of course...this isn't (gasp) a real modeling competition?

Good point, Itchy, and you reminded me of something... isn't the season they are filming right now only for people shorter than 5'8"? So wtf?!
8 of 15 | Posted by Snootchy Bootches | Posted on May 5, 2009 6:47 AM
and who knew 5'8" was too short for a model . . . didn't it used to be 5'7"--heck, what do I know . . .
J-mo, dahling, I thought of you that whole shoot, and I am unsurprised to see lots of caps of that hot, speedo'ed bear!!! I myself was captivated, and when Sex God came over to take part in the groping, I was in shock!!! Funny that the first time he does something like that involves stroking an almost naked fuzzy, Brazilian bear!!! And Anime, going in for him, almost straight away was noted!!! Good to see her growing in this, and tho she doesn't seem like the winner I'll root for her anyway (and maybe we can meet her for drinks at the chubby chaser club, right J-mo!?)
Pity about Fo, but she did bone that one, I don't know how it works, but I think there must be divisions in modeling that allow for girls like her to work. Someone ? . . . and All this time I thought Aminuts was a tad too tall . . . silly me. I did think this was her best shot, and Teyomboy is coming from no where, but looks like the chosen one, with good reason, tho she was obnoxious behind the scenes--couldn't believe she kept leaving designers to waste time going to another to leave, and then she wins . . . harumpph!!!
Well, thanks as always for a thorough cap of the epi, and lots of gratuitous grabs . . . you're my guy!!!! xoxoxoxoxo
I'm off to try the translator!

J-Mo,
Honey you are such a riot. Reading your recaps with my morning coffee is the best thing ever!! Your voice comes through your writing so well that it feels like your sitting across the table from me sipping on a mocha and dishing on these ladies : ) Luvs it!!
I have to say that I'm not convinced that any of these ladies would really stand out on any runway show that I've seen (except for not being able to walk). I am curious to see who ultimately wins, and if we ever hear from then again...
Hugs,
Yenta

Arrgh, what an episode. First of all since when does being 5'8" suddenly to you into a charter memeber of the Lollypop Guild? That's an above average height, right? Jesus they made it sound like Fo Ho couldn't leave the room unless someone reached up and turned the door handle for her. And shouldn't it say something to a designer if the only way their clothes look good is on a giant bag of sticks that's half a foot taller and 30 pounds lighter then the people who are actually going to buy your clothes?
Still it was a great episode. I love gosees. Actually I love putting any American in a cab in a foreign country, and watching them reinforce every negative stereotype about our country; it's TV gold.
I also love that judging by this season of ANTM it seems everyone in Brazil did as well in high school Enlish as I did in high school Spanish. Is it possible for an enitre nation to get a pity C?
There was one thing I didn't like this week, the gloves with teeny tiny bikinis. What, were they handling food? I've got news for you, unless you're a Disney character with only four fingers, you don't wear gloves with a bathing suit. Ugh!
A great recap J-Mo, laughed all the way through, please keep them coming!

I think Aminuts would tear it up on the runway. What a body, and legs five miles long.
Lil Anime sure came out of her shell. That hair mostly overwhelms her, though. I'd like to see her in a bob, either wavy or straight.
Poor Meemaw--so close to being a "supairmoduhl" yet so far.
Fo IS short for a model. The runway girls are mostly 5-10 and up nowadays, I believe. And in Brazil they want tall and THIN. She can model in print though. She is very pretty, that's why they say "no hiyah fasheeeahhhn" or whatever.
Hey, I tried to get with the Portuguese accent.

Does anyone else feel that each show had been created by a film student who just learned about the avante garde/surrealist art movement. One of the photo shoots from a previous season was to dress the girls in meat bikinis in a slaughter house- how much more proof do you need that someone drop out from NYU was hired to write this show. I swear sometimes that photo shoots, comments, and theme of the show makes less sense then Un chien andalou. Who is the film student now? Me that's who.
And thank you for the shot of all the ironing boards in the thongs. Is there anything that isn't anthromorphized these days?

cattyfan... Ooh, I LIKE your game idea, that is BRILLIANT! LOL, glad you liked the Hooked-On-Phonics portions... xoxo :)
qupert... LOL, I hope Babelfish made sense of it! xoxo :)
Snootchy Bootches... Actually, I agree with you about MeeMaw's fashion sense, she always looks like a million bucks, which is something you can't say about Teyomboy or Anime a lot of the time. And ROFL at hanging Anime from the rear-view mirror! xoxo :)
LAjane... honey, I was right there with you, I'll never understand why these girls don't just meet with a couple of designers and high-tail it back to be on time no matter what! And Teyomboy definitely lost some cool points in my eyes for not even letting the other girls TOUCH her precious winnings, that was trés selfish! xoxo :)
detinha... awww, shucks, thank you! I wish they would explore more of Brazil, but you know that would require a car trip and these girls just aren't up to being driven anywhere! xoxo :)
itchy... word up. xoxo :)
juddfan... LOL, I knew you'd be enjoying this episode just as much as I was, I just wished they had had more episode shots of him on the CW's website, but I guess that would have been too much to ask for. :( xoxo :)
yentapatrol... LOL, that sounds like so much fun, Sunday morning bagels and schmeer and coffee and talking shit about people! I'm glad my voice comes through, because you're right, that's exactly how I talk! love to you! xoxo :)
WaffleBoy09... "Pity C" Best. Grade. Ever. I was losing my shit over the weird Michael Jackson single-glove thing, too! Talk about random accessories, that looked totally last minute! BTW, have you considered auditiongasm? love to you! xoxo :)
pixielated... your Portuguese accent is just fine, it's the show that makes no sense! xoxo :)
reckless_saturn_11... Hahaha, I was looking for the perfect adjective for the girls in their thongs, and couldn't find it, but you sure did! THANK YOU! xoxo :)
Thanks again for all the comments guys, as always I appreciate it!
love, J-Mo :)
