Tyra Banks ANTM Says "NO Italian Vogue For Petite Models"

Sept. 28, 2010 - PRLog -- BellaPetite.com

This season’s ANTM-Cycle 15 advertises that it’s going “high-fashion,”…um, not to sound naïve or anything, but isn’t that what Tyra Banks, always says? The blurb goes on to say that the show “gives real women of various backgrounds, shapes and sizes an opportunity to prove that they can make it in the high-stress, high-stakes world of high fashion supermodeling.” HUH? First of all, “Super Modeling” isn’t ONE WORD…. Nor, should it be just ONE SIZE.

The “HYPE” – No Petites Here
In reading the ANTM advertisement, one is led to believe that they will be watching a modeling competition; one in which “all sizes” will get to compete for a once in a lifetime chance. I was excited, thinking I would see petite, amazon and plus-size women duking it out for the title of “America’s Next Top Model!” Sorry to say, not so. The girls, indeed, come from various background’s creating the typical mixture of contestants as we usually see on this show: the” pageant-girl,” the “country-bumpkin-girl,” the “awkward-amazon-girl,” and the “ugly-pretty-girl” (to name a few), but this season, NO “petite-girl.” Don’t you just love how ANTM dressed the petite models like kids for cycle 13, no discrimination here…
