Desire. Ask. Believe. Receive.

I saw something on TV today that made me question my often cynical opinion concerning the state of humankind. Tyra Banks and Naomi Campbell made up, on a closed set, clearing up more than a decade of lies, deceit, backstabbing, and resentment so painful that it made one of them almost want to give up modeling altogether. ALMOST WANT TO GIVE UP MODELING ALTOGETHER!!! This, as you can imagine, was very, very serious. Tyra called this spectacle a "call to action--for all women" to embrace sisterhood. Because if she and Naomi can get past calling each other fat on the catwalk "anybody can." At the end of the hour-long show, the two 30-something supermodels walked Tyra's on-set run way together--in solidarity, both with eyes shining with emotion. It was truly, exceptionally beautiful.

Ok, I'm being a total bitch. I love Tyra; I think she's become a really positive role-model for young women and I love that she's calling the fashion industry out on its insistence that women be 16 years old and weigh next to nothing to make it in the business. Plus I think she's hot and fun to watch. I'm completely addicted to America's Next Top Model. And I tuned into her talk show today and watched the entire hour despite mocking it later on my blog. Do the advertisers care that I'm mocking it now on my blog? Hell no! They care that they got me to tune in and watch an hour's worth of commercials, which I willingly did.
