ANTM 10 Episode 6 Quickie

This episode starts with Dominique's alarm clock going off sporadically throughout the night, irritating her roommates. Tension mounts when Lauren, Claire, and Whitney accuse Dominique of being a negative person, bringing Dominique to tears.

Tyra teaches the girls how to pose at the end of the runway and how to pose while looking pained. She then declares a pose-off, in which Anya impresses Tyra the most. The teach was actually a secret challenge, and Anya wins a chance to shoot timeless nude photographs taken by Nigel Barker.

The photo shoot this week was embodying different genres of music as follows:

1. Aimee - R&B
2. Anya - Punk Rock
3. Claire - Country
4. Dominique - Folk
5. Fatima - Heavy Metal
6. Katarzyna - Emo
7. Lauren - Pop
8. Stacy Ann - House
9. Whitney - Grunge

Whitney is commended for her photo, while Fatima is finally given approval for her range of poses, but is criticized on holding back. Katarzyna produces a good photograph while sporting a wig, which inspires Tyra to give her a second makeover. Lauren does good portraying Pop, and gets comments on looking like Britney Spears The other girls do fair - Dominique continues to improve while Stacy Ann is again criticized for being too "Model 101".

In the end, it is Aimee and Claire who land in the bottom two. Tyra commented that both girls have produced equally good photos in the competition, but both produced equally bad photos this week. Aimee was criticized for not portraying her theme well, while Claire's poses and expressions were considered too couture and not sufficiently comical for her theme. In the end, Claire is spared, and Aimee is sent home. [source]

The girls meet posing instructor Benny Ninja, who teams up with supermodel Vendela Kirsebom to teach the girls the different poses for catalogue, commercial and couture shoots in an abandoned warehouse. Back at the house, Whitney creates a phone list which is a schedule that assigns each girl a limited amount of time to call home. When Dominique misses her phone time, she causes a row with Whitney, escalating to the point where Dominique accuses Whitney of being a racist, of which the latter denies.

For their challenge, Benny and Vendela test their knowledge of the three types of poses by pitting them against each other in a posing challenge. Team B, consisting of Claire, Katarzyna, Marvita, Stacy Ann and Whitney, ultimately wins a trip to a swag tent. Claire is deemed the best overall and wins an additional prize - a trip to Bora Bora.

The week's photo shoot required the girls to do an extreme beauty shot with paint as their main makeup. Most girls deliver once again but Fatima, Marvita and Whitney all struggle with their shoots.

At panel, most of the girls are praised for strong shots, but Marvita and Whitney's pictures are deemed unsatisfactory. The judges think Fatima's picture is beautiful but she is heavily criticized for not shaving her armpit, which shows in her picture.

In the end, Whitney and Marvita landed in the bottom two, both for their bad photos and questionable passion for the competition. Marvita is eliminated because the judges felt that Whitney had more desire. [source]

The girls are taken to the New York City Fire Department where they meet Miss J. for a runway teach. They have 90 seconds to change into proper outfits, but Fatima fails to change shoes. The mock runway is performed in front of the firefighters.

Tension brews in the house when Aimee calls a shower all to herself, being uncomfortable nude in front of others. When Whitney defends Aimee's conservative views, Fatima and Marvita instead vent their frustrations on Whitney.

The girls are then taken to a runway show where they have to walk for fashion label "Tuleh", and they meet Cycle 8 winner Jaslene Gonzalez, who critiques them after the show. Fatima and Whitney's wardrobe malfunctions don't go unnoticed, and Lauren's speedy walk is heavily criticized. Katarzyna wins the challenge, and picks Amis and Marvita to join in her prize - a Lot 29 photo shoot in Seventeen magazine with Jaslene.

For the week's photo shoot, the girls are taken to the Meat Packing District, posing with and wearing meat. Aimee, Amis and Fatima all struggle in the strange environment.

Twenty minutes before panel, Amis is still sleeping, and she only has time to don a headband and sweater. Unsurprisingly, she is criticized for not dressing like a model. While Anya and Whitney shine, Tyra tells Lauren that she would have been called first if not for her bad walk.

The bottom two are revealed as Amis, for her lack of focus, and Fatima, for her poor facial expressions and lack of variety in modeling waist up. Amis is eliminated with her desire to win being questioned. [source]

ANTM 10 Episode 3 Quickie

The girls receive Apple Bottoms apparel that come in white purses. Allison gets offended when Fatima tells her that she has a larger body than hers, and Allison reveals her past struggles with anorexia. The girls are taken to Wal-Mart for a CoverGirl make up challenge, which Claire wins. Back at the house, Allison uses dolls to represent the earlier incident between herself and Fatima. Using a dark-skinned doll to represent Fatima, Allison takes a jab at her by saying that Fatima is a "black girl who takes it from the back".

Later, the girls receive their makeovers. To mimic a true agency, Tyra doesn't tell the girls their makeovers. Fatima's weave comes with a lot of pain, but she ends up loving it. There is general satisfaction among the other girls as well, including Stacy Ann, who wished for Naomi Campbell's long hair, but enjoys all the compliments she received for her short hair.

The photo shoot takes place on a yacht with the Brooklyn Bridge in the background. They meet Elle Macpherson and model her line of lingerie called "Intimates".

At judging, Lauren shines for her awkwardness that translates into high fashion, and Marvita and Aimee are equally praised. Amis also struggles a lot in the photoshoot. Dominique and Allison, however, are in the bottom two, Dominique for her soccer mom look and Allison for not knowing the word "thank you" with her arrogant personality , and also ultimately for their lackluster photos. Dominique's name is called and Allison is eliminated. Tyra then tells Dominique that she will receive a change in hair color. [source]

What goes into my favourite McDonald's food & drinks?

As a frequent McDonald's customer, I have always been interested in the amount of calories in their food. I didn't seem to notice that leaflets on that information are actually provided in the outlets for our own benefits. On average, I think we have to consume between 2100 to 2400 calories daily. From the leaflet, a medium value meal will amount to almost a thousand. The killer is the drink, if normal Coke is chosen. So, Coke Light should be ultimately chosen to drastically reduce the amount of calories. Also F&N Orange is deem to contain higher sugar content due to its amount of calories. Nevertheless, as long as a balanced diet is maintained, this shouldn't be a huge concern... (Click to enlarge)

A Cow On Horse

21st Birthday.

A big thank you to those who remembered and wished me a splashy 21st, especially to those who I haven't been keeping in touch for quite a while already. The list is not long, but it's worth mentioning a few special ones that includes my beloved line dancing teacher, Ms. Lily Chin, my kaima (godmother), Ms. Patrina, Stephen, Cyrus, Soo Ching (my uni-mate), and the list rolls on. For the first time in many years, I celebrated my birthday at home, inviting a few friends over for a simple steamboat dinner. It was definitely a fun time hanging out with all of them. Besides, I'm glad that most of them came and made my night rather memorable. Anyhow, it feels great to turn 21. It's the legal age to do various activities that I've desired for quite some time now.

My birthday presents this year? I love most of 'em. It's pretty easy for them to get me presents that I like, since they know that I heart monkeys a lot. But, not all monkeys will do. Only cute ones. Especially E-sal. Other than that, frankly, I'm not really interested. Luckily, my E-sal collection grew larger with the addition of 3 merchandises. One day, my room will be overfilled with those monkeys, leaving me spaceless to walk or to sleep.

This keychain is from Caryn. Sorry for not inviting. It will never happen again!


Supermonkey to the rescue! This collection comes in 4 styles. So far, I have 2 of them.


This E-sal is huge! He's like the big papa in da house!


This is from Edward and May Yenn (Nixie). I've known them for a very long time now. It's a sweet present, cuz my name is engraved on it. I should use this to sign important contracts int he future!


Lastly, this is Occara, an E-sal look-a-like. it's head nods continuously under the solar light while sitting on the toilet bowl with a banana on its hands. C-U-T-E.

Once again, a final Thank You. XOXO.
