The Fiercees

I'm not exactly sure why I'm just writing about this now... I guess I wasn't allowed to give away any insider info before it aired, but I'll give a little now! You know I love me some America's Next Top Model... but I basically got to go to an ANTM fantasy camp.

My friend Matt and I went to a taping of the Tyra Banks Show about a month ago and it was the Fiercee Awards! The show was everything ANTM and had basically every memorable Top Model contestant there to either present or win an award. It was really fun and seeing the girls in person was so weird... They all looked exactly like they do on TV, but they were a foot taller than you'd expect and twice as thin! Giant, tall sticks. Here are some screen shots of us from the taping! Did you see me?






Are you jealous?! Well, the whole thing was actually a pretty big debacle. Started 2 hours late, we stood around, then sat around forever... but such is the nature of television. Lots of "hurry up and wait." The whole experience was really fun, though, and Tyra is 100x more glamorous and "fierce" in person than she is on the television. It was hard to look directly at her. The other top models were stunners, as well. I couldn't take my phone or camera inside with me, obviously, but I did steal a piece of toilet paper from the rest room (don't worry Matt, I still have it.)

Just a little inside info... If you watched the show you saw Jade (who was fiiiiieeerce in person) and Tyra get into it a little bit. Jade was being shady and critical as usual, so Tyra said she deserved to win the "biggest diva" award. What you didn't see was Tyra railing into her- basically saying she was old and unsuccessful when she joined the show and should be thankful for the exposure it gave her. Tyra also told her something to the effect of, "You're lucky this is daytime TV, because if it was late night... oooh child." Fierce. Wonder why it was cut?

Also, I don't really want to say or hear the word "fierce" ever again.
