Bald is Beautiful, Smart Not So Much, on Top Model

It was the makeover episode on America's Next Top Model last night - yay!!

Nothing is more fun than watching a group of prissy girls, most of whom have a very loose relationship with the concept of style, get completely re-made into what Tyra and company deems "model-worthy." In some cases (Janet, Sarah) the changes were a big improvement; in other cases (Salyshia, Jenah) not so much. I mean, every time they showed Jenah post-makeover I actually winced -- that platinum color does her no favors.

Our favorite Asberger's girl Heather, meanwhile, was barely touched during her make-over. Granted, her look is fierce (and her pictures even fiercer), but could this possibly have something to do with her syndrome? It just seems a bit curious that she is the only one whose look barely changed.

And then, of course, there is Bianca. I don't know what all the cryin' was about, because her new look is amazing, not to mention about a thousand times better than the purple and black thing she was sportin' on top of her head before. Bald is beautiful, baby!

As for the eliminated contestant last night, good riddance Victoria. I can't stand these girls who think they are too smart to compete on the show -- if that was the case, why did you go through the surely rigorous audition process to begin with? It's so clear to me that the whole "I'm too good to be doing this" is a defense mechanism created to protect against criticism, as if to say, "Well, if I don't care, then it doesn't matter if I don't do a good job." Good riddance, Victoria -- good luck at Yale.

A final note -- when did Salyshia become such a bitch? Is that what they teach at Tyra's Self Esteem Camp?
