Joanie Dodds’ Groove is in her Heart
April 15, 2009 by Erin Balser
Joanie Dodds, the Cycle 6 runner-up of America’s Next Top Model has a pretty good sense of humor. Which is why she’s happy to star in homemade lip sync homages like the one below for “Groove is in the Heart.”
The video is simply Joanie going about her daily tasks while lip syncing this great ’90s song. For an amateur video, it isn’t bad!
Since appearing on ANTM, Joanie has been working steadily as both a model and television personality. She was recently a judge on a local Top Model franchise that aired in the Bay area.
Joanie Dodds Mends Children’s Hearts
February 19, 2009 by Erin Balser
Joanie Dodds, the runner-up from Cycle 6 of America’s Next Top Model, had a rare red carpet moment when she stepped out for the Children Mending Hearts Gala held at the House Of Blues in Hollywood last night, February 18.
Joanie kept things fresh and simple in a casual little black dress. The tights aren’t great, but I love Joanie so I’ll forgive her for those!
The benefit raised money for the International Medical Corps’s relief efforts underway in the Congo. Children Mending Hearts works towards helping children raise awareness, learn, advocate and share ideas through art and activism.
Here’s a video about the organization and it’s founder:
Several celebrities came out last night in support for the charity, including Alyssa Milano, Sheryl Crow, Ben Affleck, Anderson Cooper and more.

Fatima Siad, second runner-up on Cycle 10, and Joanie Dodds, runner-up on Cycle 6 appeared on an episode of The Tyra Banks Show earlier this week.
The girls came on the show to pay it forward and become the top models they know they can be by giving back to their community. Tyra looks back at each girls’ powerful story and how it propels them to go forward. They look at Fatima’s female circumcision story, and talk about how ANTM changed her life. Joanie looks back at ho Tyra gave her a brand new smile
Here’s Fatima’s part:
Here’s Joanie’s part:
You can find the rest of the episode on YouTube. I think its great these girls are using their ANTM experience to help out others in similar predicaments.
