this post for Frances Mican

I don't chill with supermodels. I don't even know any. I often complain that my schedule doesn't allow time to veg in front of the t.v., but I do take advantage of stupid, mindless shows that require very little brainwork on my part. This is why I adhere to the advice of Frances Mican and occasionally watch America's Top Model while studying, reading and writing. I like competition. I like beauty. I'm fascinated by art. There's always been a part of me that is drawn to catty, superficial fighting over superficial means. Hence, I admit it. I have a quirky fascination with this show. Tyra Banks drives me insane, but I think it is fascinating how they often take what I would consider homely individuals, but with make up and lighting, they make them look good. Okay, I'm going to bed. This confession has me critical of my own viewing practice.
