'America's Next Top Model' Cycle 15 Episode 2 Recap

ANTM Cycle 15

On tonight's episode of America's Next Top Model the models moved into their home on the beach near Los Angeles. They soon after met up with Mr. Jay and Miss Jay for their first runway challenge. The catch was that the catwalk was four stories above the crowd. After the challenge the girls took part in a photo shoot where they turned words that were once used to bully them into words of empowerment. Diane von Furstenburg was a guest judge on the panel.

Watch This: 'The Beat of New York'


This week I have been running all over NYC for Fashion Week stuff (click here to see my favorite looks) and although it can be stressful and hectic I always enjoy getting caught up in rush of everyone going about their business.

Last week I stumbled upon this beautiful video from photographer
Thomas Noesner who captures an ordinary day in the hustle and bustle of the big city. Check it out

Natasha Galkina Walks in Mercedes Benz Fashion Week

She may not have won Cycle 8 of America's Next Top Model but Natasha Galkina seems to be doing all right for herself. While sitting front row at the Lavuk Spring/Summer 2011 collection I spied the fan favorite walking in the show! Check out the photos I snapped with my iPhone.

The designs from Lavuk -- a green label -- were cute, sporty and flirty and looked super comfortable and Natasha was amazing on the runway! Glad to see that you don't have to win ANTM to make it big.

Here's a quick clip of the finale walk. Look for Natasha in the blue long sleeve dress.


How do you think she looked? Leave a comment!

Yinz Need to Watch 'Greg and Donny'

I am a proud native of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, but sometimes it's very hard for me to explain to people the... unique accent Pittsburghers have. Luckily, I found this awesome Web series called Greg and Donny which features some average yinzers (as they're called) in their funny day-to-day lives.


The series follows Health teacher, Greg, his big mouthed wife, Gina, and their unemployed buddy, Donny, as the three of them communicate via Web cams from their small Western Pennsylvania town (or tahn, as they say it.)

To get a better understanding of the series check out this episode where Greg gets picked on by coworkers for his Pixburgh accent.

I Met Angelea from 'America's Next Top Model' Cycle 14

While at Lincoln Center for Fashion Week I happened to bump into Angelea from Cycle 14 of ANTM. 716 represent!


We were both leaving the tents from the Custo Barcelona/Global Collections shows so I decided to snag her for a photo. Angelea was sweet and nice and even kind of shy. Who knew?

PS - In case you were wondering, here are my favorite looks from Mercedes Benz Fashion Week.
