Anonymous said: That's valid and I don't like Tyra personally but isn't the show about preparing models for the industry? I mean, the model would be fire from said gig if she refused to wear padding. I mean of course the entire thing is trite and stupid but it was a random thought I had at 4am

Well I would dispute your initial premise that ANTM is representative of the modelling industry. But even on the latter point, models simply don’t go to casting calls that they feel are contrary to their standards. If a model doesn’t do nude shots they ain’t gonna turn up at a casting that is looking for potential nude models. Same with this, the androgynous model wouldn’t go to a casting where they were planning on using fake body implants. 

But what, this is an Avatar blog? Oh right, I can totally link this to Avatar. Erm. I think Mai would win an ANTM version of Avatar. That girl can scize. (scowl with your eyes)
