I'm totally late with my thoughts on the season premiere of America's Next Top Model, but I must share a bit of my reaction anyway.
While everybody is undoubtedly talking about Isis, the pre-op transgendered individual (whom I think rocks hard), I remain fixated on Sheena.
At the beginning of the episode, some stupid chick on the bus says to Sheena, "You have a great advantage 'cause you're the only Oriental girl here."
What?
I waited to hear gongs.
I was so annoyed by both the speaker and the recipient of those words. Ugh. Sheena, I hate you and your faux ghetto-fabulousness. Your poorly executed Harlem accent is unbearable. You're a go-go dancer from Hawaii.
I'm ashamed you're Asian. I'm angry that you're wearing my favorite color in this picture. Boo! Hiss!
oh weemo, please don't hate me. i kinda liked her. she amuses me.
ReplyDeleteI didn't see too much of her besides them telling her not to make it hoochie. But I love Isis! She's one strong cookie!
ReplyDeleteI like Isis, of course :)
ReplyDeleteI also liked Sheena. I don't know why. I think it's because she's not all prissy and lame like some other girls *coughCLARKcough*
As you already know, I <3 Sheena and found that comment quite entertaining. Although for me, it was more of a "de dede dede de dede de. . ." moment than a gong moment.
ReplyDeleteI love the predatory bisexual girl and Isis too. This season promises to have the most interesting personalities yet. I'm so excited!
Ohmigawd, my ILs both still call people "orientals" and it makes my skin crawl. They also call me a "Mexican" which is by no means derogatory except for the fact that they use the label for anyone of Hispanic descent and I am not Mexican, I'm Puerto Rican. *Sigh*
ReplyDeleteHi, I from that *other* site but follow your blog (which is great by the way).
ReplyDeleteIsis is such a soldier. I liked how she didn't let the other girls get to her during her shoot. Sheena seems sweet. Oh, and Sharaun got what she deserved.
This may be my inspiration to start watching again.
ReplyDeleteANTM is waiting for me on my DVR. Sounds like Cycle 11 may have some drama...
ReplyDeletei'm actually watching analeigh b/c she is a client of my old trainer. such a little cutie!
ReplyDeleteand yeah, i visibly cringed when that girl said "oriental" :/
ReplyDeleteI didn't even realize the new season of ANTM had already begun :-P
ReplyDeleteShe's annoying, but its not like she's Jade-annoying.. or Lisa-annoying. I can't make any decisions until the makeover episode ;)
ReplyDeletehuh. yeah, what winnie said.
ReplyDeleteI had to pause the TV and ask Brent, "Did you just HEAR that???" So crazy.
ReplyDeleteOooooh, and I'm w/ Julie - can't wait till the makeover show!
you said "I wanted to hear a GONG!" bwhahahahaha [dead]
ReplyDeleteI thought of you when I heard "oriental." Then my thoughts about Sheena included, "Great, another dumb Asian. They sure are determined to break stereotypes."
ReplyDeleteI haven't watched the ep yet. I wonder if I'll hate her too.
ReplyDeletei haven't been watching. f to me. she sounds like a nightmare.
ReplyDeletei love your hate spewing out of my computer screen. i really feel the anger!
ReplyDeletelove your new monkey-icon.
