Dear Future America’s Next Top Model Contestants
If Tyra asks you about your favorite heroine in English literature, like she did to that Harvard girl on Wednesday, there’s really only one acceptable answer: Rosalind, the heroine of “As You Like It.” First of all: Shakespeare. Tyra will love that — shows you’re sophisticated. Second, Rosalind is a strong woman. We all know how ANTM feels about strong women. And third, Rosalind spends most of the play disguised as a young boy while hanging out with the man of her dreams. She needs to really sell the outfit, even as she’s trying to let her inner self shine through. This involves a lot of smiling with her eyes and, of course, being fierce — just like America’s Next Top Model! (You’re welcome.)
In other news, I’m pretty sure Gossip Girl is actually Serena’s grandmother CeCe.
