Last week, Sheena came by and I interviewed her all over again about her time on ANTM. A few tidbits:
- She has never felt the effect of the supposed Top Model stigma.
- There are cameras and microphones in the bathroom.
- Tyra's internal monologue is probably in a British accent.
- She was not able to apply any of the show's lessons to life.
- She was paid for her participation on this cycle.
- They were not sleep-deprived and they were allowed to read and listen to music.
- She made them write into her contract that they wouldn't mess with her hair during Ty-overs.
Also, my "Not Here To Make Friends" shirt comes via ThinkGeek. I've been dying for a chance to wear it in the presence of someone on reality TV. Thank you, ThinkGeek!




I love Sheena so hard. And I'm so insanely jealous that you get to hang out with her. But so thankful that you share these beautiful moments with us.
Tyra is totaly British in her head.

I wish you could do exit interviews with all the girls. You and Angelea is my dream.

Did Sheena get to meet Winston?

Sheena was like, WAAAAAAY to "with it" for Tyra to bear. My money is on Bianca or that short one to win . Allison poses a problem for Tyra because I think Andre and Nigel like her. But man, oh man, does Tyra want Allison OUT. That face she had on after the first episode when it was revealed she was the fan favorite. Anyone who has a semblance of self worth and understanding is Enemy Number One for Miz. Banks.

Thank you Rich. Your minions love us some Sheena. I have to agree with Lisa. We must have more exit interviews. Angelea demonstrates her hammer dance in your living room. Bianca puts up the caution tape. Laura brings you a shirt courtesy of her mamaw. Dominique...I don't have a pithy reference for her but she's from Columbus like me so I love her.

Yay~
I think Sheena hit it on the head, even as an outsider I've always gotten the feeling that Tyra guns for anyone who makes her feel threatened. And given that Tyra seems to have a boatload of insecurities, if you're a combination of any of the traits that she feels insecure about (in Sheena and Brittany's case, they're both sexy, smart, and funny without it being a forced act like Tyra puts on when she's being "sexy" or "goofy") I don't think she can handle it and will find a reason to boot you ASAP.

RE: Sheena's Hair
Now we know why she freaked out the way she did during that episode
And now we know why the makeovers really sucked this season - b/c most of the girls other than Lisa and Bre got it in their contracts that their hair would not be touched...

Fuck she was a little boring. I love that show though. You are way prettier than her Rich.
