Isis King on Larry King Live

Isis King, the transgendered contestant who competed on Cycle 11 of America’s Next Top Model recently appeared on Larry King Live. The episode focused on the issues facing transgendered people and was cohosted by celebrity psychologist Dr. Drew.

Alexis Arquette also appears in the episode, along with a female-to-male transgender and a transgender mayor. The segment was inspired by Chaz Bono’s decision to come out as a transgendered person. Alexis is very articulate and compassionate on television and this entire episode is respectful and informative. I’m impressed, Larry King.

Isis appears around 11:25. She talks about why she doesn’t use the term transgender, what it was like to be transitioning on national television, her procedure and the healing process and more.

Isis seems so happy and content right now. This is a great interview and I’m glad her surgery is complete and she can focus on the next step in her life.

DC 50 Interviews Analeigh Tipton

Analeigh Tipton was the second-runner up in Cycle 11 of America’s Next Top Model. She’s now living in Los Angeles, trying to make it as a model and an actress. She was shortlisted for a part on the new CW show A Beautiful Life (which I’m superexicted about, by the way, even though Analeigh isn’t on it!) and had a recent meeting with a casting director about the latest Sophia Coppola picture.

Analeigh took a moment out of her busy schedule to sit down for an interview with DC 50. She talked about her time on the show, what her life has been like since the show aired and more.

I love Analeigh and think she’s pursuing the right career for her. I’m excited to see what she does next and wish her every success.

McKey Sullivan: My Life as a CoverGirl Episode 12

Erin Balser — Sat, 16 May 2009 15:41:20 +0000

Here’s McKey Sullivan’s final My Life as a CoverGirl. She definitely got better treatment than Whitney did – no wordless final recap. Instead, McKey looks back at the journey she went through being a CoverGirl and prepping for the Tibi/Make-a-Wish fashion show we saw last week.

Congratulations McKey! Now I hope you go off to have a successful high fashion career!

What do you think Teyona’s My Life as a CoverGirl commercials are going to be like?

McKey Sullivan: My Life as a CoverGirl Episode #11

Erin Balser — Thu, 07 May 2009 11:03:32 +0000

Last night’s installment of My Life as a CoverGirl finally brought us the Tibi/Make-a-Wish runway show McKey Sullivan has been prepping for all season. It’s a nearly wordless 30-second piece that shows the different looks McKey wore while on the catwalk. Apparently the Make-a-Wish girls got to walk in this show too, but this was a MLAACG that was all about McKey.

McKey looked gorgeous, almost a throwback to the supermodels of the ’90s. I love it. Next week’s segment will probably be a look back at McKey’s entire MLAACG journey. What do you think of McKey’s commercials?

Top Models in Action: Samantha Potter

Erin Balser — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 15:12:45 +0000

Last night’s Top Models in Action segment featured America’s Next Top Model Cycle 11 runner-up Samantha Potter. I love Samantha and think she looked fierce on the Dutch catwalk (those red lips!) but think she’s a strange choice, as she hasn’t been modeling that long and most of her gigs have been related to ANTM or to prizes she won on the show.

I think the ANTM producers are trying to select recent girls so more casual and newer viewers will remember them. I’d love for Elyse or Samantha Francis to get an TMIA segment, but I bet only the die-hard fans will remember them and get excited to see their body of work.

McKey Sullivan: My Life as a CoverGirl Episode #10

Erin Balser — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 15:08:39 +0000

In this week’s episode of My Life as a CoverGril, Cycle 11 winner McKey Sullivan is backstage at the Tibi fashions how, getting ready to step on the catwalk and put on a show! Makeup artist Sutan makes another appearance, talking about how CoverGirl makeup is going to make McKey shine. I don’t mind this integration of product promotion, as it’s seamless and fits the scene. Plus, any screen time Sutan gets is fine by me!

It looks like next week is the big finale! I like the mini-narrative this cycle’s MLAACG commercials have had. They all relate to fashion and modeling and aren’t as disjointed as some in season’s past.

I wonder what the Cycle 12 winner’s commercials are going to look like.

Samantha Potter in Mary Mary Music Video

Erin Balser — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 11:17:34 +0000

Samantha Potter, the Cycle 11 America’s Next Top Model runner-up appeared in Mary Mary’s music video for their single “God in Me.”

Mary Mary is a two-time Grammy winning gospel duo of sisters Erica Campbell and Tina Campbell. They are famous for their fusing of gospel with soul, hip hop, jazz and funk and are best known for their dance anthem “Shackles.”

Samantha appears in the video at 1:43. The video is based around a fashion show and Samantha is one of the models.

I’m glad to see Sam is getting work. I really liked her on ANTM and thought her look was a great throwback to the supermodels of the 80s. She recently signed with LA Models, so I hope we see more of her in the future.

McKey Sullivan: My Life as a CoverGirl Episode #8

Erin Balser — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 02:11:43 +0000

Last night we were treated to another episode of My Life as a CoverGirl starring Cycle 11 winner McKey Sullivan. In this segment, McKey helps another Make-A-Wish girl whose dream was to be a fashion model. McKey and Harper’s Bazaar fashion editor Mary Alice Stephenson give Ashley the skills and confidence she needs to shine on the runway.

I’m actually really excited to see the Tibi/Make-A-Wish fashion show. It will be great to see McKey working it and to see all these girls whose dreams came true thanks to Tibi, CoverGirl and McKey!

McKey Sullivan: My Life as a CoverGirl Episode #7

Erin Balser — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 11:18:33 +0000

On last night’s episode of My Life as a CoverGirl, Cycle 11 winner McKey Sullivan went to her make-up consult for the Tibi/Make-a-wish fashion show she will be walking in later. The make-up artist (Sutan!!) walks her through the palette and products he chose and shows how they relate to the Tibi collection and the designers vision.

Did you watch last night’s episode of America’s Next Top Model? The cycle 12 contestants came by to one of McKey’s shoots and she baked them a cake! She’s so sweet!

McKey Sullivan: My Life as a CoverGirl Episode #6

Erin Balser — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 00:19:34 +0000

Last night’s My Life as a Covergirl commercial was about McKey Sullivan, who won Cycle 11 of America’s Next Top Model, getting ready for a Tibi fashion show. They show her on her go-see for the show and getting fitted for her looks.

I like that they are making McKey’s MLAACG segments a mini-narrative. They’re taking us through the journey that is participating in a fashion show, which is pretty neat. I’m excited to see what other ideas they come up with as McKey continues her CoverGirl journey.
