you wanna be . . . short?
So I tried out for Top Model a little under a year ago. It was an aggravating but ultimately entertaining experience, and I told myself that I would try out again the next year because I’m close to the age limit and might as well use my 23-year-oldness while I still have it.
This year, they’re only taking girls under 5’7″ (with the possibility of “case-by-case exceptions” chosen by the producers). ‘SCUSE ME?
When I tried out, the rules clearly stated that they would only be considering girls over 5’9″. I saw metric tons of short chicks who were trying out just to see if they could get in and fudge the rules . . . argh.
Maybe I’ll show up anyway. Hmm.

Haha, just your luck.
Just chop your legs off at the shins, that’ll do it.
I’m five foot tall and somebody told me I was still to short
Like any short girls are going to get the jobs after the show….they will be told they are too short…even if they win the show.
lol. ‘SCUSE ME is right.
@Dare2BDiferentt - omgness I know I didn’t reply to your comment yet. Ugh. Give me a day. (sorry natalia)
Ha. I’m 5’7″. Maybe I’ll audition…
I MISSED IT!
I guess they felt bad about all those girls they didn’t let in before?
FIGHT THE MAN!!! err, I mean, the woman…um, just go and try it out.
GO! You could be the exception…
you’re no slouch, you’re too good for the show.
maybe if you have a new cause they can promote (plus-size, anorexic, transgendered, lesbian, single-mother, rape-victim have already been taken), you can get in ;D
Try out again! It’ll be fun!
do it!!
Tyra will eat your soul. Don’t do it.
OHMAILORD. I should try out. I was all complaining about how the media doesn’t have short models.
@YouTOme - Ba ha ha. ANTM is a joke :/
If they won’t eat your soul, then you should try out.
That’s so sad.
do it! They shouldn’t be centering on one height like that!
That’s so stupid. Last I checked, Tyra Banks is, what, 6″2 or something? The woman is tall!
I don’t understand why they want short wannabe models! (no offense)
I hate to get in your business and all, but FUCK EM. Being discriminated due to your height is absurd, do you really want to fall in with this crowd of obnoxious uppity folks?
Maybe they’ll do America’s Next Top Midget later. They might as well cover all the bases.
I think it’s a good thing that short girls get a chance to be models. I’m pretty sure that show will be going for awhile since so many girls and gay guys like it. You’ll end up on there sometime.
@PopeOnABomb - haha. Good point. I wonder if they will do just one for girls who are heavy weight too.
@apriltwenty - You should go for it!
