Model-logue

Watching back and forth between "America's Next Top Model" and this year's newest model-o-rama, "Models of the Runway," I think there are a few things that can be deduced about models.

Or, at least, a situation in which a bunch of super-pretty females share a kitchen and bathroom.


1) Toss, play with, or run fingers through their luxuriously flowing manes of hair. During confessionals, of course.

2) Overpack. I mean, really. Is there anything left in your apartments or houses?

3) Work out. Except for "Biggest Loser" contestants, skinny babes want to stay skinny babes.


4) Eat junk food. Or food that's just plain unhealthy. As if they want to rub their tiny noses in it. Of course, we don't see the purging on camera.

5) Discuss each other's physical attributes. How many times have we heard one of the following: "She's got great hair," or "I don't think she looks like a model."

6) Practice walking. Of course it's for the catwalk, silly, but to the untrained eye those models sure do pace around their lofts a lot. In stilettos.

7) Sport enhanced cleavage. Models are the one category of female reality star that need to fluff up their fronts. There's no room for implants in couture. Sports Illustrated, maybe, but couture? No way!

8) Let other people dress them. And put makeup on them. Sometimes to highly freaky degrees.


9) Post-pregnancy, they're ready for the runway, still looking like walking garment hangers. Ugh!

10) Cry like preschoolers. Oh, wait. That's ALL reality shows.....
