In this episode of "Americas Next Top Model," the girls do a photo shoot for Pinks, a famous hot dog stand in L.A. that has been around since the 1930s... In addition to the photo shoot, the girls also receive a makeover.
Bre's huge mane is cut off and she wants to go home after the fact.. She cries in the bathroom stall for her aunt to come pick her up.
Bre's whining would be funny, except her sister, Bianca, accomplished so much on her first "America's Next Top Model" appearance with a teeny weeny afro. Bianca landed a huge billboard advertisement for the Summer Olympics in Beijing the year she was on the show. This year, Bianca looks like a China Doll. She's got hair flatter than Cher's and bangs to boot. Guest judge Ashlee Simpson declared Bianca "the prettiest girl" there.
The fan favorite, Lisa, gets married in two months. Her hair gets a very serious cut; before it was below her hips, and now it is just above her shoulders. Her cut is short and sassy. It looks great on her, but most looks do. She seems to be the woman who has it all.
Angelea, the girl from the Bronx who slept in Authority to get to her first "America's Next Top Model" season, has grown as a person. She has pretty much dropped her tough and angry persona. She looks like any girl's best friend, as well as sophisticated and refined. She's clearly Nigel Barker's favorite so far.
Isis' weak legs are a problem. Isis has an hour glass figure, but her legs aren't very muscular or developed. This will be a problem throughout the competition. Her photograph last week was super powerful and perhaps the more memorable of the bunch despite the fact that Tyra was the only judge who approved of it. Primarily because of the way Isis' right hand hung just between her legs.
The most hilarious and telling model, in terms of whatever it is Tyra Banks may be telling us with this reinvention of old models, is Kayla. Kayla formed her identity as a gay and lesbian model during her first run. She said she starred in "America's Next Top Model" to represent the GLBT community. But on Wednesday night, her brand manager told her that the gay pride mantra is five years old and fashionably irrelevant. Kayla, no longer able to cling to her sexual identity, lost herself while coming to terms with her new identity label, "free." It seems Kayla associated rebellion against homophobia as freedom. Despite her struggles, she is an inspiration to anymore that is in the community.
Sheena is eliminated, although it wouldn't have hurt anyone if Camille had gone home. Sheena doesn't seem like she cares if she stays or is sent home. Either way, she is eliminated.. Make sure you tune in to "America's Next Top Model" on Wednesday nights at 9 p.m. on the CW.
