she has proven she can take great photos, but not in person. Maybe it's because you haven't seen her in person!?

I don't like that picture either.

[bianca=ANTM9]

well its a screencap. its not suppoed to be good. shes going to take fierce pictures

[Dax]

You don't know that because you haven't seen the show. It's impossible to determine how fierce her pictures will be if we haven't seen her pictures in the show.

Remember that this is not a fan thread. The rules clearly state that we can say negative things about the contestants. You really don't have to reply to every negative thing that people says about her.

Dominique and Katarzyna are my favorites but I can't expect everyone to follow me. We are all entitled to have our opinions about the contestants.

and i'm with Dax this is atalya thread not atalya fans thread
so we can said what we want

tyra loves to promote this "look" because she feels as though people always think of black girls as exotic, fierce, mean, and harsh. she wants people to think of them as typical all american girl next door types.

personally, this bothers me. battling a stereotype with another stereotype is only a temporary solution, and if her plan works, in 20 years she'll be complaining about how all black girls are stereotyped as "sweet", and "passive", and "cute", and then she'll say
''Why can't a black girl be fierce or edgy or exotic? why do we always have to be sweet?"

and so, the stereotype is still there, just in a different form. Tyra is battling ignorance with ignorance, and thus, is doing nothing to help solve the issue...

I diasagree. What Tyra was trying to say is that there are black girls that can be considered to be girl next door types not just exotic. The only black girls in the fashion industry that are considered to be exotic are either Africans or biracials. She also mentioned this in her Essence Magazine interview.

As for Atayla, I can see the black girl next door type that Tyra is talking about.

I think everybody in that judging look rather bad.
