Thanks by the way for the comment.<br /><br />Then I started browsing and reading your article, I went to have a look at the contestants and my I could not believe it. Tarty or what?<br /><br />I laughed out loud about the French prostitutes!! As you have gathered I am French and not a prostitute I hasten to add!!! But I imagine they would be flattered by your comment about being classier, or maybe not!<br /><br />What are these girls agreeing to? Are 15 minutes of fame that important. Makes you wonder.<br /><br />Nice to have met you, will probably come back soon.

Paris Hilton's drunken birthday bashes.<br />2. Playboy... I mean, they are the epitome of tastefully done.<br />3. The Chelsea Handler Show.<br />4. Absolutely everything having anything to do with Kim Kardashian.<br />5. Absolutely everything having anything to do with Lindsay Lohan<br />and of course<br />6.

I would LOVE to interview Tyra Ban...Ashley - AMEN!<br /><br />I would LOVE to interview Tyra Banks someday and ask her how she manages to "split-personality" her morals so effectively.<br /><br />On one hand, she goes OFF about female empowerment and NOT degrading yourself, and does (really poorly produced) talk shows all about how scary it is that young girls are starving themselves and desperate to be beautiful. And Tyra hugs them and says "You are perfect just the way you are and never let ANYONE tell you differently!!"<br /><br />The audience then applauds and wipes a little tear (because Tyra paid them to) and....scene!<br /><br />Cue America's Next Top Model:<br />"You're too fat."<br />"You're too short."<br />"You're eyes are too close together."<br />and my personal favorite:<br /><br />"What?! You're religious and have SOME semblance of self-respect and are therefore unwilling to take all of your clothes off? <br /><br />How dare you!?<br /><br />And how exactly do you expect to get anywhere in this world as a woman without taking your clothes off?! <br /><br />Ha! Fat chance!<br /><br />If you aren't going to use your body to get ahead, then guess what? You're NOT going to get ahead!"<br /><br />Thanks Tyra. Um, where do YOU think those girls that you are hugging and comforting on your talk show are getting their information. (Answer: Um, from YOU, Tyra!!)<br /><br />Feel free to pick a personality...and a moral stance that doesn't COMPLETELY contradict itself while you're at it.the Lola Lettershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11717397768716885420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1309332823519652997.post-71111292093872565942010-05-11T14:18:42.895-07:002010-05-11T14:18:42.895-07:00I read your post this morning and I am JUST NOW pi...I read your post this morning and I am JUST NOW picking my jaw up off the floor. WARNING: This comment is going to be long. <br /><br />1. This kind of has nothing to do with anything posted here but, well, kind of!<br /><br />-A few months ago an extended family member applied to be a contestant on America's Next Top Model. I was curious what the fuss was all about so I went to the website and downloaded their disclosure and rules waiver. Let me quote my favorite line, "You understand and you agree that you may be required to pose and be photographed or videotaped while clothed, partially clothed or naked." Awesome and oh so classy!<br /> <br />A few weeks after this relative posted her modeling pics on her FB page someone (not me) told her she looked like a porn star and she fought back with- "Your just jealous!!!" I laughed so hard! Jealous?! Of a girl who is hoping her whole future on her looks, flat abs and dumb look on her face? Who the hell would be jealous of that?! <br /><br />Other thoughts on the matter: <br />- American culture is going to hell in a hand-basket. <br />- One of my friends went to a burlesque show and she said it was so disturbing that she left crying, sobbing in fact. <br /><br />Am I done? NEVER! But for now...yes!Ashley Thalmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15826214609480963667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1309332823519652997.post-81753048055667132362010-05-11T13:27:29.381-07:002010-05-11T13:27:29.381-07:00Ahhh ha ha ha ha!
