"Contest Loser Says TV Show is No Model of Reality" (article)

[BUSHSUCKS]

I liked Giselle But I couldnt see her top model type. I thought she was a cool chick but as far as runway model or Victoria Secret type nope Its not for her

She struck me as a nice person as well.

G is a cutie, but definately 18, with age comes restraint, funny to think that she was probably the youngest one there too.

Rip a girl from her home, put her in a place with strangers, to compete with them, then toss her out. See how that feels.

She is really cool when you get to know her, TV does nobody any justice.

I'm glad you can give us another perspective on Giselle, testshootcom. I left home when I was 17 and I remember what it's like to be in a new environment. I made a lot more social gaffes. I hope she follows her dancing career or finds somewhere she can shine.

The Atil Kutoglu Fall 2003 show in NYC featured Ladytron's cheeky "Seventeen" (introduced to me by the equally cheeky CaliGirl) as part of the music.

The lyric: They only want you when you're seventeen, when you're twenty-one you're no fun. They take a Polaroid and let you go, say they'll let you know, so come on.

I thought it was funny.
