America’s Next SHORT Top Model?

(Above: America's Next Top Model, Cycle 10)
I’m really excited that Tyra Banks has decided that the next America’s Next Top Model season is only accepting application from girls under 5’7! Finally somebody in this business is giving average-proportioned women the chance to be a beauty icon. What’s so bad about that? I couldn’t believe how cutting the girls at The Cut were about this:
“Yeah, okay lady. We think at this point — now that the show has churned out twelve “winners,” the only thing on which they’re probably on top is a pile of unpaid bills… Could casting only short girls be a final admittance, whether the production team realizes it or not, that the show is not about creating “top models” but simply entertainment?”
What are they saying? That short girls are freaks of nature and it’s entertaining to watch them? I am so offended and I believe that a season of Top Model which actually encourages beauty from girls of AVERAGE stature would indeed be one of the most liberating and empowering seasons of Top Model yet!
And it’s not like it’s impossible – look at Eva Longoria. Beauty Pageant Queen and now super mega star and she’s 5’2! (or so I’ve heard)
