Tyra Banks: America’s Next Worst Dressed Retired Attention-Whoring Model
I need to make something clear: even though this is the second time she’s appeared on this blog, I love Tyra Banks. I think she’s sweet, stylish, and awesome. I also think she’s egotistical and narcissistic though, especially after this past season of ANTM. It has become painfully clear that she’s trying to steal the attention away from all her bright young little proteges. The opening credits focus in on Miss Tyra almost exclusively, and at every panel this last season, she stands at the front of the room in a warrior stance which is clearly designed to keep all eyes — and cameras — on her and her alone.
All of this would be well and good, except for the things she chooses to wear when she does this. Case in point: the picture to your left. I mean, I have never seen anything go from outrageously poofy to almost nauseatingly tight in all my years. This is kind of like a mullet outfit: 80s at the top, 70s disco at the bottom, and it needs to go away fast.
Quite frankly, her clothing choices only emphasize the idea that she is trying to keep all the attention on her. One wonders what she feels so threatened by — is it the not-so-lovely Paulina, who tries and fails to be a Janice? Is it her darling little proteges? Is it Miss J, with his to-die-for legs?
Whatever the case, I find this outfit pretty well sums up the rather dry and disappointing season — i.e., I hope I never, ever have to see it again. …even though I’ll probably want all the repeats on VH1 and MTV.
