I understand some people love the TV show, AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL,(created by Tyra Banks) and some people hate that show with a passion. Yet, watching a few episodes inspired me to appreciate myself a little more. No, I don't have a model's body or face and would never want to be one but by the show I see that models can a lot of criticism about their looks and attitude. I am glad that without any make-up most of those models look normal and just like anyone of us who aren't models. I admit some of them are pretty, but that's not the point.
The show shows how harsh the modeling field can be and that it is a lot of hard work. I feel bad for them sometimes, but who am I kidding? They're tall, skinny, and pretty......I may sound jealous but I know those models have insecurities about themselves too. They are always crticized for not having the right posture, facial expression, body weight, etc. It is a really competitive and strict world, I must say.
I think everyone finds something wrong about themselves. I think we should all appreciate our qualities and find that personality is more important than apperance. I hope you learn something from this or at least think more positively about yourself. You create who you are and what you will be.
I agree with what you say about how on the show they are criticized for every little thing that they do. Sometimes, its slipped in on the sly during the show.
Granted, all of the contestants are pretty. that's why they're models. But you see people getting told that, they're too tone, they're too skinny, their chest is too big. Things like that, things that people feel that are really attractive on models. And that is one of the things I like about the show.
I like the show
I love the show. A lot of the girls are normal looking girls, it is amazing what make-up can do. It makes you realize that not everyone in the magazines is really picture perfect.
I agree.
I think it kind of "normalizes" modeling too: everyone always says "I'd love to be a model/actress/singer/heiress" but they don't realize that their jobs are probably just as hard (if not WAY harder) than the "average joe's" job.
