I need to voice this somewhere: Doesn;'t Erin look like the girl from My Girl, just with a terrible dye job. #americasnexttopmodelbarbietoe

Barbie-toe is like the clipping of the dewclaw; an neo-evolutionary response to the high heel in photography. #americasnexttopmodelbarbietoe

Marissa Miller must be doing something right with her barbie toe and her showing off her curves, because whenever I open a victoria's secret catalogue, I ALWAYS want to buy whatever she's posing in. It's gotten to a point where I have to ask myself "do I actually like this bra? Or do I only like it cause she's wearing it?"
It's a problem #americasnexttopmodelbarbietoe

Did anyone else who took ballet as a kid totally do this all the time? I think I spent ages 6-7 on the balls of my feet. #americasnexttopmodelbarbietoe

@Penny: Ugh, I know the feeling. I can turn out all the way, but due to a lovely (if minor) case of scoliosis, I can't really DO anything with it. I have to turn back in a little if I actually want to, y'know, dance.

Not that it really matters, since it's been 3 years since I've been in a studio, but it's the principle of the thing! #americasnexttopmodelbarbietoe

You know will really take your sexual self confidence down a few notches? Watching Marisa Miller in a bikini teach a bunch of very skinny girls how to pose sexily on a beach. With your boyfriend sitting right next to you. #americasnexttopmodelbarbietoe

It's like asking Picasso to teach painting to 2nd graders. Half of them are completely overwhelmed, the other half are hungry and have no idea where they are. #americasnexttopmodelbarbietoe

After last night, I'm convinced Erin is going to win. She's a terrible model, an awful person and just downright bad but you can tell the panel wants her to win so badly. Why else would she be in the bottom 3 three times in a row and be saved every single time. Especially even after last night when they commented that she rebels against criticism--because right that's the make of a great model!

I'm rooting for Jennifer (as much as I love Laura...). Not only is she exceedingly talented, but considering the rise of Du Juan and Tao Okamoto in the past year, it'd be nice to see more Asian models make it into the mainstream. #americasnexttopmodelbarbietoe

@EkaterinaBallerina: Team Jennifer!

I haven't seen last night's episode yet, but I'm pretty sore about the panel's decision to keep Erin AGAIN. I actually like her as a model, and I think she's getting the sourpuss edit... but if you're in the bottom two THAT often, it's time to get gonnne.

Jen's not necessarily my favorite model, but she's just as good at it as Nicole and Laura. For the first time in years, I'm actually interested in the outcome of ANTM. And I think it's refreshing that all of their remaining girls are actually good at what they do, and are likable to boot. #americasnexttopmodelbarbietoe

Okay, BUT: every single seventh grade social studies project EVER has taught us that Barbie feet lead to, you know... wheelchairs.

so, photography is a new art medium, but artists have been in LOVE with depictions of death since cavemen drew on walls. renaissance art is chock full of it - and it's shocking, stunning, arresting. women look like they have no agency, but they make beautiful (submission, dainty, obedient, pure, religious) corpses. talking about art using death to create heightened emotion is absolutely *nothing* new... the *kind* of death the slideshow demonstrates here is a whole nother question. are we uncomfortable with death in art period, or just violent crime death? #deadmodels

@miss.terious: I think we're uncomfortable with death being used to flog us a dress or a pair of boots.

Fashion photography is not art, not in the strictest sense, because it has a commericial endevour beyond trying to sell you the image itself - it's trying to get you to pony up your hard earned cash for an item.

I don't care about depictions of death in art; I care when the violent murder of a woman is seen as a good way to get me to buy a new pair of jeans. #deadmodels

@jenrobe: Since when did works of art begin losing artistic value due to their intrinsic commercial motivations?

The frescos of the Sistine Chapel were only commissioned to attract more visitors and feed the Pope's sense of grandeur. Even Michelangelo resented his work there, but hey, he needed the money.

Not art in its strictest sense then? #deadmodels

@FADviral: I think that could well be a good argument, that the Sistine Chapel was a commercial work, although it had a religious context and was created arguably by someone who believed in that faith.

However, Michelangelo was pissed about the commission because he was already working on sculptures for the Pope's tomb, not because he hated the church. And then he demanded to be able to do the work the way his vision told him to, not according to what the Church initially invisaged.

I didn't mean to suggest they lost their "artistic" value, but that there is clearly a divide between a work being created for its own self (art for art's sake) and to sell stuff. #deadmodels

#1 is kind of funny, death by roller skating around a mansion is ridiculous enough to not be gruesome. Just about everything else made me squirm though. #deadmodels

I guess no one ever told the photographers that at some point every photographer shoots a dead girl in couture and thinks they're a freaking genius for 15 minutes. #deadmodels
