About the 5′7 and under requirement, Tyra Banks released a press statement.
“There have been top supermodels in the past that weren’t as tall as the industry demands, like fashion icon Kate Moss,” said Tyra Banks in a press release announcing the casting call. “So we are changing up ‘Top Model’ for cycle 13 and making it a year for the shorter model!” - LA Times
Really, I love Tyra and all, and I admire her for being able to show people pictures of her without makeup, or tell them that she's wearing constrictive undergarments to make herself look thinner. But...
Ouch. Did Tyra Banks just compare her fledgling, ridiculed contestants to Kate Moss?
Hun, there's only one Kate Moss. Your models are already too wide around the hips to do well in the industry, so why add to their problems by making them short?
