Much like the blonde and preening Whitney, America’s Next Top Model improves its own performance every week.
Especially impressive are this season’s photo shoots, which actually resemble real magazine spreads - last week’s Nu Rave Spin-Art session looked dangerously close to a past POP editorial, while this episode’s music shoot was straight out of Conde Nast: Fashion Rocks. We dug it, especially the acknowledgment of “Emo” as a legit genre, and the way Fatima looked like a real Vogue model - if only she weren’t such a downer!
But there was one thing to take issue with:
The “nude” shoot bestowed on Russian surfer Anya.
In a few terrifying shots, it looked like she was baring all - and we mean all - on public television, and then we realized:
She was wearing an itsy bitsy thong to shield her itsy bitsy vagina.
We’re not sure it counts as a nude shoot if the model gets to wear underwear, but we were also mystified that the Top Model producers flashed so much random skin.
Surely after all this time, they don’t need more ratings?!

They showed a nude thong hanging in her dressing room before she started. But I can see how it would have been shocking if you didn't see it in the nano second they showed it.
And yes, thank goodness the photo shoots are actually believable this season.
