Last month I wrote about Tyra Bank's new fashion and beauty site TypeF.com, which is now fully up and running. The site is fine and dandy, but the thing that I enjoyed the most was Tyra's goofy (and informative) new Web series called "Fa Fa Fa Fashion" co-starring her Top Model co-hort and Vogue editor-at-large Andre Leon Talley.
In the first episode, Tyra and Andre go deep in the trenches to uncover the history behind the classic trench coat. They share tricks on how to make the classic trench work for your modern style, while getting kicky with some fashionable insider tips.
In this week's episode of America's Next Top Model the models pose wearing mud, and almost nothing else. With photographer Jonathan Mannion the remaining eight girls pose in two groups: Blondes and Brunettes. Check out the girls' best shots and a few other stills from the shoot.
