america's next top murderer

Or so read the posts on the veg websites in response to this week's ANTM. For those of you that are high and mighty enough not to watch the TENTH cycle of america's next top model (even though we are trapped in a gossip girl drought that seems never ending), let me fill you in on the details: this week Tyra had a photo shoot where the models posed in the meat-packing district, surrounded by slabs of meat, and wearing (yes, wearing) meat. There were meat bras, panties, halters. If meat stilettos were possible, they would have probably worn those, too.


As one poster rightly pointed out, last season Tyra went on the whole 'make ANTM green' kick and had an eco-friendly house and a hybrid van carrying the bony girls across LA. Now in NYC they have a stretch SUV and pose wearing meat. Maybe next week they can pose while throwing kittens off the Brooklyn Bridge.

Here's one of my more favorite threads:
'Apparently it's supposed to be "a metaphor for the modeling industry"...'
Whew. 'cause otherwise it would just be weird...

But really now, what model isn't concerned with the metaphorical implications of the outfit s/he wears?

Here's hoping 30 Rock and GG get back on the air with new episodes real soon.
