An Artist
"What does it mean "to write well"?
An artist--using the word in its genuine rather than childish meaning-is not a craftsman who knows how to evenly distribute "lively images", "telling details of everyday life", "colorful landscapes", and other trifles in his books; an artist is the one who finds a rhythm unknown before, and enlives and permeates the world he has created by this rhythm."

I was one of the final 20 on Americas Next Top Model
The show aired September 9, 2009 and I did not make the final cut to 14.
Oh, I wish I had known you were on! I will try to catch that episode in reruns, I guess.
I say, Congratulations! Out of all the thousands of models in the U.S., you are one of the top models! Of course, I didn't need that show to figure that out!
A model I photographed several times went on to win $25,000 on a televised poker tournament in Las Vegas a few years ago. I missed it the first time but saw it on a rerun. Perhaps I'll have a second chance to see you, as well.
Dr. UL is right. Making the top 20 out of thousands is indeed an accomplishment. Be proud.
their loss, your gain. That show is such a travesty. you will shine brighter than those girls, watch. I will do my best to make sure the world knows your beauty.
No doubt was it an amazing, encouraging experience. One I would never give up...but, a part of me is glad that I never made it far. The exposure may have been good but I may have ended up embarrassing myself, and, no expsure feels better to me then poor exposure. I have never gone through an agnecy...never been offered a contract with one that I was excited aobut. Freelance modeling does not make the money anency modeling would but there is also little risk involved.
Just now saw you on a very late rerun of this episode. So adorable then, yet amazing to know all that you have done in your career in the years since then. You have become more amazing than a Tyra-girl.
Hi, I have been following your blog for awhile. I watched ANTM last night and was so surprised when I recognised your face. :)
ReplyDeleteI really feel like you should have made it because you have an excellent face for modeling. Oh well, their loss.
Have you ever gone to any agencies?

ReplyDeleteDefinitely in the top 20, but their loss since you didn't go higher! Many congratulations
