HIGH Fashion

And let the competition begin! This cycle of ANTM started off with the girls moving into a gorgeous glass house in Venice Beach. For the girls first challenge they had to do a Diane von Furstenberg fashion show on a runway that was four stories up lit up with pink (of course ;-) ) lights. The real challenge of this was that the runway was not very sturdy so it shook and moved while the girls were supposed to be walking and being fierce on the runway. However all of the girls did fabously and no one fell, while on the runway at least, the stairs are another matter.

For the first photo shoot of this cycle the girls were put in swimsuits and had to think of a name that they were called that hurt them. They picked a "Bully" word, then they got to pick out a "Power" word. This power word was how the girls viewed the negative "bully" word, as a positive. I personally think that this is one of my favorite photo shoots to date out of all of the cycles. It was amazing to watch these girls embrace the negative and make it a positive. Demi Lovato also showed up and talked to the girls about bullying. She is a supporter of a anti-bullying website called "Pacer Center's Teens Against Bullying". To check out the website click here.

The guest judge this week was Diane von Furstenberg. The judges seemed please overall with how the girls started out. The girls started out mostly strong in all of their photos. The winner of best photo this week was Ann. In elimination it came down to Terra and Annamaria. Terra broke down during her shoot which caused her to have a weak photo. Annamaria was very confident, but the photo that they chose was one where her whole body was covered because she was too skinny. She looked very unhealthy. In the end Annamaria was eliminated because she looked too unhealthy.

Who photo was your favorite? What did you think of the photo shoot idea this week?

Kayla's photo was my favorite and I really like the shoot idea for this week. I am actually writing a paper for another class about school bullying so I was really excited to see the issue brought up in this week's episode.
