    Try this Ty: "It was a dumb idea. We shouldn't have done it. Sorry."

    So easy and simple. That is how you "apologize." It's a different thing than "attempt to justify" or "rationalize."

    I see how it's a problematic photo shoot concept but I still don't really think it's analogous to "blackface". It is problematic in other ways- it essentializes and co-opts races for artistic effect. That's a problem. But it's not "blackface". It is possible for a racial shoot to be problematic without it being "blackface"... I don't know if I feel comfortable using this term to describe something like this. I can't really explain why.

    @TurtleSpeak:
    I'm okay with calling it blackface. It might be possibly well-intended blackface, but it's still blackface. It doesn't have to be the clowny Sambo version to be blackface. It's still appropriation. Here's where it gets blurry: like actors, models are hired to create an illusion. Would this even be an issue if models of color were adequately represented? Would everyone be free to paint up as they pleased?

    I'm not sure what to think. As an artist, it makes me sad that racism affects even the most innocent exploration. There are things that you might be drawn to aesthetically that you might have to pull back on because of how they'll be percieved.

    @wordinedgewise: Wow. Suddenly my h.s. photo from 1986 doesn't seem so hairageous. Nice 80s find.

    ps-This is the only time I've ever resembled Ms. Weaver—when she played a sexed-up demon from an 80s movie. Crazy.

    @rodmanstreet: Maybe we should send this to Mr. Jay. I would kill to see an 80s film babe shoot: Dana/Zuul, Weird Science gal, Ally Sheedy as the Basketcase...wait they did that one...

    @wordinedgewise: It's bad enough when I'm stifling laughter about my own joke, but this put me over the top. I had to excuse myself from my desk to stop the giggles in the bathroom. Now that I'm back, they are too.

    It's my number one passion in my life to stretch the definition of beauty

    I thought her number one passion was slutshaming.

    Thanks for slipping that "sorta" in the title of this post. I watched this yesterday, and that SORTA came through loud and clear to me. But I felt like that was more Tyra's egomania than anything else. "Me? Admit a mistake?"

    Nicole went, in my eyes, from "I'm pretty sure she's autistic" to "she takes good photos" to "OMG I LOVE HER." I'm actually pretty confident that she will continue working in some capacity after the show because she just has that je ne sais quoi.

    I always watch this with Mr. lisas, so I asked him if, as a het dude, he found the water orgy at the end appealing. He laughed at me. So there goes my only guess as to why they added it.

    Is it just me or does it seem like Tyra has spent this entire season wacked out on Xanax and canned air? She's been less coherent than usual and can't focus her eyes.

    So glad it came down to these two. I was rooting for Jen too, but those wonky eyes, like Kara's were the kiss of death.

    These two, Nicole and Laura, are adorable, but this contest was in Nicoles hands the holw time. She is gorgeous and really can take pictures. I loved when her hair was blowing in Tyras face at the end and Ty Ty kept giving her the look. Now who will give Laura her own show?

    The photo shoot at the very end of the episode had me cracking up.

    Congratulations--you win!! Now it's time for your first photo shoot as the new winner--with TYRA, of course. We know who it always comes back to, don't we?

    @LaMorena: That's the best moment in every cycle - the final shoot with Tyra.

    Yes, the culmination of all your hard work, savage insults to your confidence, and wasted effort put into inane challenges. All so you can be in a picture! With me! TYRA!
