I'm reading a whole bunch of comics for review.

Someday I might get around to reading:

So I missed Fashion Wednesday, and hence the finale of America's Next Top Model, because I had to go to a screening tonight. Who won? The show's site hasn't been updated, and neither has Bravo's. Was it any good? I haven't cared much about the show this season, apart from waiting to see how long Fatima's blend of bitchiness, cattiness, playing drama queen to the cameras, and weeping on cue would play before she got booted. I never thought she'd win, but I figured she'd make it to the finals, and that she was being crafty as hell about being absolutely everything the producers want in a contestant. But now I realize that I really am curious about who came out on top, and whether the finale was any fun.

Now that I think about it, I missed the finale last cycle, too. I was off on my birthday California travel adventure.

I'm-a feelin': curious

Fatima got kicked off, final 2 were Whitney and Anya, Whitney won it.

Fatima didn't listen and hadn't learned anything; that finally counted against her.

Someone else has seen recent photos of Whitney and says that she's lost some weight, darnit.

It was an okay finale. Nothing particularly surprising or remarkable, and lots of goofball revisionist history from the judges during their look back at the finalists' portfolios. (Nigel, discussing Whitney's "paparazzi" photo from just last week, said something ridiculous like, "I really feel I've gotten to know who you are so much more, you've grown so much since then!") The deck was pretty clearly stacked (har!) in Whitney's favor because Tyra just wanted a "full figured" woman to finally win so she could congratulate herself for giving America a "full figured" Cover Girl. Or maybe they finally realized that there would be no way to cobble together halfway-coherent "My Life as a Cover Girl" segments starring Anya. It seemed pretty arbitrary, really, but no more than usual.
