A/ANTM crushes

What a week! First I see Australia’s own Alice Burdeu on the tram, her hair substantially less red (as a fellow fake ‘ranga, I feel you), but just as pretty as always, on the Lygon St tram, and she was polite enough to not be weirded out by my open staring and frantic texting. Then FourFour drew my attention to America’s Own Elyse Sewell and her entirely delightful LiveJournal, chronicling her work as a model in China. Here are some reasons why I eat Elyse with a spoon if given the chance.

1. She comes across, and documents, things like this.

2. She’s a DIY kind of girl. As an aside, I came across a store selling these candy fruit sticks in the city, and I’m dying to go there and try it, but that involves a degree of going to the city that I’m simply not comfortable with any more.

3. She reveals that modelling for money is less getting painted like a lobster and smiling with your eyes, more naked on a cold beach early in the morning..

4. This.

5. Also, she’s real pretty.

‘”Australopithecine disregard for the cleanliness and well-being of couture”: that’s my middle name.’ Oh, Elyse, bless.

This is gonna be awesome!

According to I09 they’re remaking V, and by ‘they’ they mean the dude behind the convoluted and terminally uninvolving The 4400, which means to any objective viewer this show will suck. But not to me! All the scaffolding and gas works and big hair and jumpsuits and rodent eating left a deep impression on my young mind. They’ll be keeping the rodent eating, right? Right?

I’m warming up the torrent sucker already.
