Knowing that it's all coming to an end makes one want to frown with one's eyes—or "frize." Jennifer was frizing when she learned that she would have to immediately go back to the Hawaiian mansion, pack her bags, and go home.


It confusing that she was so let down, because according to Jennifer, she doesn't usually succeed at anything.


Erin also went home, but at least they touched up her roots beforehand.


Did anyone else notice that eyebrows have totally been the theme of this cycle?



Which means that we're left with Nicole and Laura as the final two. This is good news, as Nicole does stuff like this:


And Laura says stuff like this:

<![CDATA[Semenya "Shattered" By Ordeal • Warning Issued For Breast Pumps]]> • According to reports, Caster Semenya has been "completely shattered" by the results of her gender testing. An athletics official from South Africa said Semenya reads every paper thoroughly, and has "no escape" from the constant publicity. •

• Researchers have found that having a TV turned on can injure the parent-child bond even when it is just "background noise." They discovered that parents spoke to their children 20% less when the television was on and became less attentive and responsive. • Taking matters into her own, um, hands, a Cincinnati woman allegedly spanked a stranger's two-year-old son in a Salvation Army store; she faces assault charges. • A memorial service for murdered antiabortion activist James Pouillon was held at the Owosso High School football stadium, and some attendees said they would hold a service outside a local Planned Parenthood as well. • Star Trek actor George Takei and his husband Brad Altman will be the first gay couple featured on The Newlywed Game. • After years of deliberation, the UN will create an agency devoted to women's and gender issues. The agency will be much more powerful than existing UN groups that deal with women's rights. • A Spanish employment tribunal ruled that calling your boss a "son of a whore" is not sufficient grounds for termination — because the term is "common usage in conversation." • A teen's lawyers claim he only "simulated" his role in a gang rape in which the victim was forced to perform oral sex on her own son. • A Georgia man is accused of kicking a female Army reservist in the head and screaming racial slurs in front of her seven-year-old daughter, after the woman asked him to be careful with the door at a local Cracker Barrel. • Wondercat Clyde made a real-life incredible journey from his home in Tasmania, across a 185-mile strait and 2,000 miles of land to the Australian town of Cloncurry. He was identified by a microchip under his skin, and is now back home with his family. • A 98-year-old woman has been evicted from her apartment in England for assaulting terrorists, harassing neighbors, and using her panic alarm 563 times in a month. • A group of girls from the United States and Mali has written a guide called Girls Gone Activist! about "how to change the world through education." • Anti-abortion activists are stepping up their protests against the Susan G. Komen's Race For the Cure, because the foundation doesn't warn women about the (nonexistent) link between abortion and breast cancer. • Another Komen critic: the blog AdRants, which says the foundation's new ads depicting "women cupping their breasts as they pledge allegiance to their girls, hooters, tatas and gazongas" are merely "the American Pledge of Allegiance [...] re-written as a boob joke." • The VOICE Study (Vagina and Oral Interventions to Control the Epidemic) hopes to determine whether taking anti-retroviral drugs, either as a vaginal gel or as a pill, can prevent HIV in women as well at treating it. If successful, the study could provide women with HIV-prevention measures that — unlike male condoms — they could fully control. • Chemicals called PBBs and PCBs may decrease the number of female births, according to a recent study. The chemicals are now banned, but may still exist in animal fats. • According to Debenhams department store, British men are becoming increasingly interested in grooming their brows, which inspired the store to hold men-only "guybrow" nights. Apparently, the perfect "guybrow" is somewhere between Noel Gallagher and Sylvester Stallone. • Working as a delivery nurse, Astrid Skreosen became familiar with all the mess that comes with giving birth. However, she realized that the little pads placed beneath the mother were simply not enough to absorb all the blood and fluid that comes with labor, so she created a super-absorbent sheet for use in the delivery room. • Four men have been arrested for the rape of a Hofstra College student. Five men reportedly lured her back to a dorm after stealing her cellphone, and proceeded to sexually assualt her "one by one." Police are still searching for the fifth attacker. • Doctors have found a link between diet and acne in girls: Teens who ate significantly fewer raw veggies and fruits were more likely to have acne than those who consumed fresh vegetables regularly. They also found that acne is directly related to mental health. • A government fact sheet from the Equalities Office in the UK has been criticized for leaving out Margaret Thatcher. A spokesman for the Equalities Office said: "We have acknowledged the oversight and have taken steps to amend it." • The FDA has issued a warning for Evenflo breast pumps. They say that the Ohio-based company failed to investigate claims that their breast pumps gave mothers electrical shocks. • A letter written by Mary Queen of Scots on the morning of her execution will be on view until September 21st at the National Library of Scotland. "Tonight, after dinner, I have been advised of my sentence: I am to be executed like a criminal at eight in the morning," she wrote, over four hundred years ago. •

<![CDATA[ANTM Recap Part 2: Frowning With Your Eyebrows]]> Makeovers already? On last night's premiere, the 14 finalists got their "Tyovers" right away, which disappointingly included very few weaves. Instead, invisible eyebrows are the theme this cycle. Maybe not having them makes the girls look taller?

Did Bianca say "dingo" in her interview? I thought she did, but I only know "dingo" to mean "baby eater." A dingo ate her eyebrows.

So, are you ready for the freak show to begin?




At panel, Tyra said, "This competition is about stretching the size that we have naturally into the size that we don't have. We're fooling the public."

The only one she's fooling is herself if she thinks I didn't notice that she used the same exact voiceover for the two girls who got the same exact "iced out blond" Tyover.


In the photo shoot this week, the girls had to "embody themselves in a childhood photo." Tyra is embodying herself in Cycle 2. When's the last time she bared her midriff?


So, does Bloody Eyeballs have Asperger's? Because from what I know about Asperger's, based solely on ANTM, is that those afflicted are really good at modeling and really bad at relating to other people.

<![CDATA[How Eyebrows Explain The World]]> Dark, bushy brows are back! These things are cyclical, like hemlines and the circumference of pants legs. But just like mini-skirts and elephant bell-bottoms, they don't look good on everyone. Case in point: Miss Sienna Miller! ABCNews asked London's "eyebrow shaper to the stars" for an opinion. "Personally, I think they look hideous," said Vaishaly Patel. "When you've got blond hair the number one rule is not to have black eyebrows. I think they're a lovely shape but just on the wrong person."

Sienna less than perfect? Good heavens! But there's more — in fact, this article is a veritable goldmine of eyebrow information. For example, did you know that in Iran, the ungroomed brow is a sign of virginity? And movie stars in the 40s and 50s often removed their eyebrows completely, so as not to seem masculine. But later, in the tumultuous, free-lovin' 60s, "Everything got a lot more androgynous," says a columnist at The Guardian. The article goes on to say, "Hair grew everywhere for years. It sprouted all over men and women. The bushy brow's zenith was reached on Brooke Shields' face in The Blue Lagoon." Then, in the 80s and 90s (remember early, almost browless Kate Moss?) brows were thin again. Ugh: How exhausting! Anyhow, apparently a good pluck can open up your eyes, so much so that "a lot of clients feel they've had a facelift," swears another professional shaper. But clearly it's time to ditch the tweezers and stop the weeding, Sienna-style. Hey, we love Frida Kahlo!
