CariDee English Tries Old Hollywood Glamour

Erin Balser — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 15:37:23 +0000

CariDee English was the other ANTM winner to attend the Samsung Electronics Launch in NYC on September 3. CariDee went for an old Hollywood look, but I think it just makes her look old. I think it’s the color of the dress–had see done it in something more eye-popping like red or blue, it would have brought a youthful flavor to this classic look.

What do you think of CariDee’s outfit? yay or nay?

Saleisha Stowers was in Billabong’s 2nd Annual Design for Humanity runway show. This is an event that showcases art, fashion and music to help the environment. All the proceeds to to the Surfrider Foundation, which protects beaches and other oceanfront ecosystems.

The fashion show starts at the 1:00 mark in the video. You can barely see Saleisha’s face in the vid, but it’s still a pretty big show, so good for her!

Hat tip to Top Model Live Journal for this find!

Poll: Which ANTM Winner is the Worst?

Erin Balser — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 12:27:00 +0000

Last week, I asked you which ANTM winner was your favorite and Adrianne Curry came out on top (thanks, in part, to a plug she put on her MySpace). This week, I want to ask: which winner is your least favorite?

There have been 10 winners of America’s Next Top Model. Some, like Yoanna House and Eva Pigford have gone on to achieve moderate levels of fame. Some, like CariDee English are parlaying their fame into being a spokesperson for a cause. Others are pretty much nobodies, popping up a low-caliber events and random modeling shoots.

There have been some really close races too. Runners-up like Nik Pace and Melrose Bickerstaff has a strong shot going into the finals and were narrowly beat. A close race like that can make or break a winner. Do fans like them more because they had to work for their win? Or do they like them less because they beat out another equally-deserving girl?

Another factor to consider is how they behaved throughout the entire show. Were they grateful and gracious? Were they fierce on camera and on the catwalk? How did the treat Tyra? And the other competitors?

Whatever you use to gage the ANTM winners, I’m sure everyone has a winner they hate. A winner they are so angry at Tyra for choosing. Mine is Nicole Linkletter.

I think Nicole is gorgeous and was a decent model, but I couldn’t stand the way she carried herself throughout the competition. She was weak and whiny and unappreciative. I also thought Nik has a really unique look and was gorgeous, but will admit her runway walk needed some work.

What about you? Who do you hate? And why?

Poll: Which ANTM Winner is your Favorite?

Erin Balser — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 15:11:50 +0000

The winners of America’s Next Top Model have been very diverse, from “tough girls” like Adrianne Curry to “sweeties” like Saleisha Stowers and everyone in between.

There’s been short winners, like Eva Pigford, tall winners, like Yoanna House and Dani Evans. Some winners, like Yoanna and Eva, have turned their winner into moderately successful television and film careers, others, like Nicole Linkletter and Naima Mora faded into modeling obscurity.

Regardless of where they are now, I’m sure everyone has a favorite winner, a girl they rooted for from the beginning and cheered for when she was named “America’s next top model” by Tyra.

My fave was Yoanna. She was gorgeous, quirky, gracious and loved fashion.

Who was your favorite? And why?

America’s Next Top Model Cycle 7 winner CariDee English attended the Cw Upfronts on Monday. May 13th. CariDee has been one of the more successful ANTM winners–she was the first winner with whom Covergirl renewed their contract.

As successful as CariDee has been, she really doesn’t look like a model at all here. What’s with the crimped hair and poorly-fitting shirtdress? She’d look so much better with a blow-out and a cute, simple, model-y dress by a designer like Jay Godfrey.

What do you think of CariDee’s outfit? Yay or nay?

America’s Next Top Model Cycle 9 winner Saleisha Stowers was on-hand to support the show and her fellow Top Models at the Cw upfronts on Monday, May 13th.

I think Saleisha looks really cute here. I’m glad she grew that bob-thing Tyra gave her as a makeover though. In concept, it was a great idea, but in practice, it just looked weird.

What do you think of her outfit? Yay or nay? And what will Saleisha be up too now that her reign as America’s Next Top Model is over?

Saleisha Stowers My Life as a Covergirl Episode Twelve

Erin Balser — Fri, 16 May 2008 10:56:11 +0000

Here is the final My Life As a Covergirl commercial that Saleisha Stowers did. It’s actually one of her better commercials, she looks and feels more natural in front of the camera. It’s almost too bad that the commercials are over.

What will new Top Model winner, Whitney Thompson’s, commercials be like?

Saleisha Stowers My Life as a Covergirl Episode Eleven

Erin Balser — Sat, 10 May 2008 12:06:02 +0000

Here is the eleventh installment of Saleisha Stowers My Life as a Covergirl. Honestly, I’m glad Saleisha’s reign is coming to and end. Her commercials never felt natural, always forced.

I love how in this one, she says “I used…” when referring to the makeup she wore on the runway. Now, I’m pretty sure that she didn’t write the lines herself, but it’s still a small oversight, considering most fashion shows have teams of makeup people.

Adrianne Curry at the Young Hollywood Awards

Erin Balser — Sun, 04 May 2008 14:52:53 +0000

On April 27, the first America’s Next Top Model winner Adrianne Curry attended Hollywood Life magazine’s 10th Annual Young Hollywood Awards in LA. Lots of young stars were there. The fact Adrianne is there is a bit confusing, I don’t think she represents Young Hollywood anymore. Regardless, I hope she enjoyed herself.

I’m really not a fan of her dress. It’s like she’s going for a modern Wilma Flintstone look and failing. What do you think? Yay or nay?

Saleisha Stowers My Life as a Covergirl Episode Ten

Erin Balser — Sun, 04 May 2008 14:40:15 +0000

Here is the tenth edition of Saleisha Stowers My Life as a Covergirl commercials. They’ve all been pretty boring so far, she’s so stiff!

Who out of this cycle would have the best Covergirl commercials? If their Italian Covergirl commercials were any indication, Anya’s would be delightful incoherent, Dominique’s would be hilariously ghetto fabulous, Whitney’s would be an uber-fake pageant queen and Fatima’s would be like those late-night phone chat commercials.

Whose would you want to watch the most week-to-week?
