In other TV news, has anyone else been plagued by those Idaho Potatoes commercials? I seldom watch daytime TV but I was sick so today was an exception. Anyway, there are these crazy commercials stressing the health benefits of Idaho potatoes ("not just any potatoes!") with this really raspy-voiced lady who pronounces Idaho like "eye-ho" and it drove me nuts (it could also be my cold). She also claims that "exercise and a diet with potatoes" help you to stay trim, which is true in some contexts but it nonetheless made me laugh because I can totally see somebody going to a grocery store, looking at potatoes, and remembering, "oh yeah, potatoes help you lose weight!" #tyrafaketoenails
I worked at a tanning salon in high school (ooooh the stories) and knew a couple girls that came in who had acrylics on their toenails, but never as long and gaudy as that. I'm not sure the reasoning behind it, as I was always too weirded out to ask. #tyrafaketoenails
Whoa. That Sandals commercial's version of "I've Had The Time Of My Life" sounds like the Kidz Bop version. Except, sung by adults who should know better. #tyrafaketoenails
@GirlFailer: This was during the campaign, and she was in Iowa trying to get some votes (From the HBO documentary "By the People"). I think she is interrupting him/poking fun when he won't commit. #tyrafaketoenails
This is pretty embarrassing, but I have had an acrylic tip on my toe. My cleats were too tight when I played lacrosse, and after a long game, I lost my big toe-nail. I was super self conscious about it, so I went to the nail salon and those nice ladies fixed me up with a new talon. I'm glad I'm not alone. Thanks Ty-Ty. #tyrafaketoenails
i love how they kicked off the poor girl last week for being too "catalog" and then this week the guest "super model" was in fact... a catalog model. le sigh. #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: Definitely. It took real discipline to STOP being on demi-pointe all the time. Oh, and to only turn out when in class; that shit'll mess your back up if you're not careful. #americasnexttopmodelbarbietoe
@Penny: I didn't take ballet, but I did gymnastics for years, and I still find myself standing on my toes when I'm in line at the grocery store or waiting for the train. #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
Wait, keep your mouth CLOSED? That violates the first rule of sexyface, which I assume is a common pose in Victoria's Secret. #americasnexttopmodelbarbietoe
@J.D.Regent: Apologies that I know this, BUT, if you've ever seen a episode of the Kardashians, her sisters make fun of every photo shoot she does, for exactly that—making open-mouth sexyface every time she poses for a shoot. Where's our SuperModel to swoop in and teach?! #americasnexttopmodelbarbietoe
