    I'm sure each generation of musicians feels they've lived through a time of tremendous change, but the shifts I've witnessed in my relatively short music career-- from morphing formats to dissolving business models-- do seem extraordinary. The first album I made was originally released on LP only, in 1988-- and my next will likely only be pressed on LP again.

  • If you look at the application from this website (http://www.cwtv.com/thecw/topmodel-cycle20-casting), there is a requirement that you had to be 5 foot and 7 inches at the absolute minimum to be a model, but I was only 5 foot at the time, so wouldn’t be eligible. I always had hope, though, that by the age of 18, I would be tall enough to apply. I think that’s where the show starts to become bad for people, especially women. It makes us want to look different, in order to do the career we dream of.
  • it’s really altering their views on what an attractive woman looks like, and what kind of woman the media wants to see
  • The show is also teaching girls that you should want to be objectified, because all of the model contestants want so badly want to be a model, when models are really just a “thing” used to sell. When young girls see models on TV or in a magazine, they are seeing beautiful, air-brushed, computer altered women, who are actually not real. But since many girls believe that they need to look like those models, it’s making them have very poor self-image.

  • One way you can see this happening is in the makeover episode of each season
  • For example, giving an african american woman a perm to make her hair longer and smoother, when she is proud of her natural tight curls. The show gives off the vibe that no matter what you naturally look like, you can still look better.
  • The show isn’t all bad, though. Tyra Banks, the producer of the show and main judge, is great at including diversity, such as women of all races, women with children, women with different sexual orientations, women with curves, and there was even a woman with Aspergers Syndrome included in the model contestants. It’s great, because Tyra is showing that any type of person can be a model.
