So You Want to be a Model?
You’ve probably heard of America’s Next Top Model if you’re not living under an unfashionable rock. Debuting in 2003, it’s still cycling and as of now doesn’t show any signs of stopping, continuing to provide us with more interesting characters, wacky photo shoots and crazy drama. Modeling casting calls for America’s Next Top Model are probably the most publicized and diverse thanks to supermodel Tyra Banks. You’ve got the girl from a small town, girl from the wrong side of the tracks, the university scholar, and the girl you’d never guess could be a model until she gets a fabulous makeover, not to mention all sorts of ethnicities, unique looks and atypical body proportions. But ironically being a reality TV show, ANTM probably isn’t the most accurate portrayal of what modeling casting calls are really like.
Occasionally, Tyra does address the issues of real-life modeling casting calls, telling us to beware. Legitimate modeling casting calls will never ask you to lay down money or to pose nude. So it’s probably safer to stick to ANTM, though some question whether ANTM really produces top models. It’s probably fair to say that it can boost careers, but it seems unlikely that any of the contestants will attain supermodel status. After all, can there really be a new supermodel born every TV season, not to mention also in the over 30 other countries in which ANTM has spawned international versions?
Modeling casting calls aren’t a ticket to superstardom. High fashion modeling will probably be harder to get into than modeling whose main purpose is just to be provocative. Modeling casting calls can’t ensure that you’re going to make a lot of money either. It seems that way because we always hear about famous and glamorous supermodels in the media, but these are really just a few cases and not representative of the modeling population.
Making it big in the industry isn’t impossible. It’s just that there’s a lot to consider and be realistic about. ANTM often presents a modeling version of the American dream—keep trying and eventually someone will say yes. But not everyone can be a model, and just trying isn’t enough. Modeling is based on appearance and ANTM picks contestants who have a certain look. The modeling life is also something to think about. Models have to get up early, travel around a lot and face rejection on a regular basis. It’s not a lasting career, since your looks will only last for so long, and looks in fashion are constantly changing. So it’s worth it to take some time and think about a decision that while potentially short-lived, can change your life.

Hi, guys!

Whisked away to the Bahamas in a private jet by their pilot dad, Mary- Kate and Ashley Olsen (playing twins Alex and Madison) are initially disappointed to be missing their class trip to Hawaii. (Just what high school do these girls attend?) But the 15-year-olds recover upon meeting up with their mom on the sunny tarmac, checking into their own suite at the Atlantis resort, and getting acquainted with some cute boys on the island. Parents may see this 88- minute movie as one long advertisement for the Paradise Island resort, with the constant mentioning of its name and endless showcasing of its attractions. But kids, particularly girls ages 7 to 12, will get a kick out of Alex’s rivalry with the rich superwitch Brianna for marine worker Jordan’s affections. Then there’s the updated Cyrano storyline with Dad’s business partner’s son Griffen coaching dim-but-likable Scott on how to win over Madison. Throw in an antiquities smuggling subplot, some dolphin hugging, horseback riding, and wave running and you’ve got some fairly innocent entertainment augmented with frothy tunes by teen group up-and-comers Play, Empty Trash (featuring vocals by the twins), Tte American Girls, and Noogie.
Headline News announced this week that Lindsay Lohan is “sick of it all” and has plans to leave Hollywood and make a clean break. But is the UK as thrilled about it as she is?
Kevin Smith Tiger Woods Olsen Twins Teach Bong Art Class
This first theatrical outing for the ubiquitous Olsen twins is their take on The Parent Trap meets The Prince and the Pauper. One plays a foster child under the care of a single social worker (Kirstie Alley) whose marital status prevents her from adopting her favorite charge. The other is the neglected daughter of a “bazillionaire” (Steve Guttenberg), who’s about to marry a gold-digging socialite (played nastily by Jane Sibbett, Ross’s first ex-wife on TV’s Friends). The foster kid comes to a charity camp abutting the rich girl’s summer estate and–presto–the identical strangers meet, hatch a plan to solve both their dilemmas, and switch identities. Directed by Andy Tennant (Ever After), this PG-rated film features some decent G-rated chemistry between Alley and Guttenberg and surprisingly uncloying performances by Mary-Kate and Ashley. The rating is for mild language.
