America's Next Top Model

About 160 women ages 18 to 27 strutted their stuff during the 'America's Next Top Model' casting call at Tanger Outlets in North Charleston Tuesday.

About 160 women ages 18 to 27 strutted their stuff during the 'America's Next Top Model' casting call at Tanger Outlets in North Charleston Tuesday.

Before strutting down the makeshift runway, Nancy White explained why she wants to be a model.

"Because I already feel pretty, so why not share with everybody else?" the nurse from Holly Hill said.

White was one of about 160 young women who auditioned Tuesday for "America's Next Top Model" at Tanger Outlet Center in North Charleston. The popular reality show, created by supermodel Tyra Banks, follows a group of women competing for a grand prize that includes a contract with a top modeling agency.

Through casting calls across the country, producers will choose up to 14 contestants to move into one house and participate in posing competitions, catwalk critiques and photo shoots. Judges narrow the field by eliminating women each week.

About 75 women were waiting when the staff of the CW network showed up at 8:30 a.m., said local sales manager Kim Buck. Registration began at 10 a.m., and continued until about 2:30 p.m. A steady stream of would-be models came afterward but were directed to the network's Web site.

Those lucky enough to stay turned in a 15-page application, sashayed down a runway created by tape on the floor and then answered a few questions in front of a video camera. When asked to make a final plea to producers, they groveled.

"Please, please pick me," said Kendall Jones of Charleston. "I really, really want this. It would make my dreams come true."

The women had to be between 18 and 27 years old. The only physical requirement was a height of at least 5 feet, 7 inches.

Tuesday marked the fourth time Theresa Olenick has tried out. The other auditions were in New York City and Washington, D.C.

"I think I definitely have the potential to win," the 25-year-old Air Force veteran from Columbia said.

When asked whether she would try out next season if need be, Olenick said, "I have until I'm 27, so I think so. ... You never know 'til you try, right?"

As she changed out of her high heels and into her flip-flops, Chaquetta Richardson of Huger said she was nervous during the audition but thought it went well.

"You can only hope for the best, that you stood out in some way above the others," Richardson said. "That they saw something in you and wanted to give you a chance."

Well, in her defense-- :) she didn't say "I AM pretty"...she only said "I FEEL pretty".

Hey Lucy, I am too old (I'll be 32 Tuesday and CB is throwing me a party on his yacht...lol). I meet and exceed the height requirement though! I can probably make it on "America's Next Top Pregnant and Over 30 Model"!

Tripsa sent me an email last night saying he was at the casting thingie with his cooler full of Franzia and Cold Duck. He had big fun. Lol

tripsa
These models may be self ebsorbed, but you calling them self absorbed is like the pot calling the kettle black.
You are on the site site making comments from sun up to sun down expressing your hot air, and if that isn't self absorbed, I don't know what is?

OOoooh, I know what show your talking about, Tammie. I can't remember the name for it either. They also have a show where they take three or four average women and make them models for a day.

I like those, along with the recent Dove beauty campaign. I'm all about showing young girls that confidence is the most attractive thing you can have.

I find the height requirement mildly depressing. I'm 5'3". My dreams of being a super model/astronaut have been crushed. Damn, now I hafta think for a living.

Nikki, being tall is not all it's cracked up to be. I'm 5'10.5 and it's a b**ch trying to find pants that are long enough without looking like you need to put sugar on your shoes to sweet talk your pants down. But I digress. The Dove beauty campaign is cool too. I wouldnt be good on any modeling show, I HATE makeup. I'll wear chap stick and that's it. Maybe some clear mascara to seperate my eyelashes. That's it.

CB, you are wrong (no surprise...lol) It's be cool to see a male model show, there are some nice looking men in Charleston.

"sweet talk your pants down" Now that's funny!!! I know how you feel, Tammie. I am 5'9 and I have the same problem. And everytime I put on a pair of high heels, I feel like an Amazon. But I love the way the look. And they make my legs look pretty good, if I say so myself. (oops! Gonna be accused of sounding like tripsa. Oh well, don't care!!)

abitskeptical (anonymous) says...

Over the years people have said(& continue to do so)we should get our daughters into modeling. We appreciate what we assume was meant as a compliment, but always said that was not something we felt compelled to encourage.

This started with one when she was in kindergarten. I think she was tempted at times to pursue it, but she has her college career on the front burner at present & we, her parents, like it that way! :) (besides, she only hit 5'4")

As our other daughter approached adolescence it was clear she had the perfect model's body-tall, naturally long & lean,healthy & physically fit (cross country/track runner}. It's hard for most females of any age not to be envious as she looks good in anything she puts on. (she is oblivious to this fact)

However, she's spent the summer taking Organic Chemistry I & II because she has wanted to be a veterinarian for as long as we can remember. We, her parents, think that regardless of her modeling potential, the path she has chosen is infinitely more rewarding on many fronts.

RTC (anonymous) says...

Oh Lord, you people are killing me today, and it's still early.
Seriously, I don't care for any of this. Women need to learn to like themselves for who they are and not for their looks.
Also, sticking your finger down your throat is so unappealing, not to mention a serious health issue.
If they were just judging on booties, then the competition would be tough in this area. Lots of big, bodacious booties around these parts.
I would sing "I like big butts....", but I don't care for them on men, and that's the only booties that I observe.
Tell these girls that their milkshake brings all the boys to the yard, and see what their reactions will be to that.

lucy_fan, I really get tired of seeing young women being ignored or criticized simple because they are not the cookie cutter epitomy of "beautiful".
Beauty comes in many different shapes and forms, and sorry to say, but many of these so called "beauties" couldn't pour water out of a bucket with directions on the bottom.
I'm not saying that a girl can't be pretty and smart, it's just that too much attention is focused on the outside and not on the beauty and character that lies within.
A person with a loving heart is so much more beautiful than a snotty "gorgeous" woman.

I wish women's pants were sold the same way. Why do manufacuturer's think we all have the same length legs?? My inseam is 33. It would make my life so much easier if womens pants were sized that way. But no, I guess that will never happen.

You must be really tall, CB.

nikkiP (anonymous) says...

mmmm... I bought a pair of pants that are "short" and they're still so long I have to hem them. And just like marianne said, it sucks when you have a butt bigger than most white girls. The whole "if it fits here, it won't fit there" thing.

and inseam bigger than the waist? I hate men for that. Just about every guy I've dated is like that, and one of them still lives on an endles diet of pizza and hotdogs. Women on the other hand, will have that metabolism slow down at a much faster rate. Well, that and guys get to pee standing up.

And lovely, I'd go talk to nurse nancy, but I feel that a woman with that line of thinking (read: very very short, single line) won't be able to help much. I hope this "engineering" thing works out for me.

Where are you shopping CB?

My oldest son wears a 32W-34L & I never had a problem finding pants(jeans, khaki's, cords, dress) for him. Of course he's been getting his own clothes for the last couple of years, but he hasn't seemed to have had any problems.

The only problem he has is finding boxers with enough leg room. His waist is a medium but he has to buy large boxers because his thighs are very muscular.

I read that the average ht. for men is about 5'9"-5'10", & with obesity abounding it seems that a tall man with a trim waist size would not have a problem finding his size.

PS
The movies Braveheart & Rob Roy
did wonders for the appeal of kilts :)

Tammie- I can't tell you what that visual just did to me. And my mascara. And eyeliner. And computer screen. Wasn't starbucks this time, tripsa took care of that earlier.

LadyTarHeel (anonymous) says...

RTC: You are correct. There is nothing wrong with being beautiful and smart. I'm smart and I don't think I'm too bad looking. My boyfriend tells me I'm beautiful everyday (which he better or else:o)) It hasn't always been like that though. I started manipulating what I ate when I was in 9th grade because people made fun of me because I was chunky. It only got worse from there. Sometimes I wouldn't eat, other times I would binge and purge. It still affects me now, but I have it somewhat under control through therapy. I still don't like for people to stare at me since I gained weight from taking massive amounts of steroids. I like Top Model and all, but I think more can be done to promote acceptance of oneself regardless of whether you are a size 0 or a size 18 (like myself, but I am healthy, so it's really just a number).

No worries! I watched it religiously, that is until that dang Whitney one this last one. I wanted Anya to win. I don't think I will be watching next season. Unless, of course, one of Charleston's finest (cough, cough) gets chosen.

Gadsden, that is the post office across from the Naval Hospital. I went there once to drop off a letter and made the mistake of leaving my passenger window down...this man who smelled like a fresh combo of tinkle, poo, gin, and unwashed privates came to my window.."Ma'ath...you goth a quarterths?" I peeled off.

abitskeptical (anonymous) says...

I love clearing out the closets & dressers & attic & garage. The Shakers were onto something...minimal "stuff".

Before I load up my car & head to Goodwill I stand back & admire the "largeness" of the pile that I have rounded up...although it does nothing to make me feel pretty, it does give me a great sense of accomplishment..which is almost as important as feeling pretty :)

However, when I return from Goodwill, I look around my house & I swear the stuff that got left behind multiplies out of revenge, because the house isn't as cleared out looking as it should be relative to the pile that was hauled out of here.

RTC (anonymous) says...

Oh my. Everytime I have to leave this place goes crazy.
abitskeptical, I keep taking stuff to Goodwill, but it doesn't help. The closet is still too full. I feel really bad, because I have three fourths of a big walkin closet and my husband gets the last quarter. I can't understand why this is because I have nothing to wear.
Me thinks I need to look at these clothes more closely.
I may be trying to hang on to those "younger" woman things.
Sorry, I just can't go the polyester pull on pants and tunic tops routine.....yet.

July 16, 2008 at 5:51 p.m. ( | suggest removal )

abitskeptical (anonymous) says...

RTC:
I had our last baby 10 days after I turned 40. When he was 2 or so I joined a gym--didn't want people to think his grandmother was dropping him off when he started 1st grade. After a year or so at the gym I was back into the size I wore at 25.

A couple of yrs after that, while on a family trip to Florida I made some comment about feeling old & frumpy in the middle of bikini-ville. My oldest, then a 16 yr old boy said, "But Mom, you shouldn't feel that way. All my friends think you are hot".

My initial reaction was a flattered "Really?".

He said, "Yeh, they tell me that all the time."

I said,"Oh, honey, I'm sorry".

Then he said, "That's OK. Its kind of funny".

& with that, I was brought back to earth! :)

All of this is a lead into saying, something major has happened over the last few yrs such that most cloths in my closet seem to have gotten smaller & I'd be comfortable betting my life that my son does not hear that comment anymore!!!

I've wondered if my clothes shrink in the heat when I leave the house & cut off the AC :) I've been told this theory is a bit off.

Finally had to break down & buy a few cloths with a larger number on the tag...

But wait, I have another theory: If I give away all of my skinny clothes, then the extra pounds will automatically follow them. Sounds good, right?

July 16, 2008 at 6:56 p.m. ( | suggest removal )

RTC (anonymous) says...

abitskeptical, I had my last child right before I turned 30, so I have no excuse to be retaining any extra weight.
I do believe that after childbirth your metabolism must change. Last year my son saw me make that mad dash to the laundry room wearing just my jeans and a bra. I had lost alot of weight and was feeling really skinny. I heard him say to a friend on the phone that if his mom hadn't have had kids then she would have a six-pack. I think that was a supposed to be a compliment.
As menopause is knocking at the door, I am predicting that weight loss will soon become an obsession for me.
God, I hate getting old.
