So I took a break last night and watched the finale of ANTM and Danielle won! (my second favorite after Nnenna got boring and got voted off). Danielle's was a well-deserved victory as the girl is stunning in a very unconventional way (even after the panel 'highly encouraged' her to have dental work, she retained a hint of her signature gap) and she has a body that won't quit! I liked her second runner up as well and thought she'd take the title since Ms Tyra couldn't stop harping on Danielle's country accent and pontificating about how a Top Model needs to be able to annunciate. And she's kinda right: Danielle really does sound country, not southern, COUNTRY. I think she's from Arkansas or one of those places where you find yourself squinting in an effort to understand the words behind the twang and you're satisfied if you just get the gist of it.
Yeh I know Top Model is fluff but I can't very well spend every waking minute thinking about violated maternity in Cane now can I?

Thanks for the ATNM update--I missed all my shows this week! I'm glad to hear Danielle won!!!
FYI, an article from Slate.com: "Is Tyra Banks Racist?" http://www.slate.com/id/2141972/
Remember my problems with comprehension of the east tx twang?
Thanks for posting that article link. I have long had issues with Tyra's sometimes contradictory statements about all things Black. I think that she is unfortunately just a product of her industry (rather than a true change agent) and has bought into some of the aesthetics that say Black is not Beautiful.
