Okay, so show of hands: who over here was a Tyra Banks-obsessed, America’s Next Top Model binge-watcher? Okay, I can’t see your hands, but I know there’s a lot of you. I definitely was. It was my favorite thing on TV back in my teen years…*sigh.* Every episode came with a spoonful of sass and aspirations of one day posing for a top photographer! Come on, I’m sure most of you wanted to secretly be on that show, especially when that one girl just couldn’t get her poses right and you were thinking to yourself: ‘pshh… I could do it better.’
Which brings me to the big news: India’s Next Top Model has aired on MTV India (yaysies!), every Saturday at 7PM. And I’m so excited to live through the top model chaos all over again. And if you’re having a hard time understanding my excitement or you need a little reminder of the glory days, here’s why you got to get excited too!
1) Lisa Haydon is the Indian Tyra Banks!
Lisa Haydon is judging with ‘Lisa mail’ and all included! But, we’ve already established why this is a perfect choice right here.
2) VJ Anusha! Eeeep!
Major fan-girling! From MTV’s House Of Style to I Hate You Like I Love You, she’s proved her style and sartorial sensibilities as one of the nation’s best.
3) Drama Mama
Remember that spoonful of sass I was on about? Isn’t that what ‘Next Top Model’ shows are all about: drama, drama, drama.
4) All That Werrrk!
I love watching the girls work it. Makes me want to slap on some lipstick, pose, and feel fabulous.
5) Makeovers
Those are the freakin’ BEST! When you’ve got experts like photographer, Daboo Ratnani and Image consultant, Neeraj Gaba… it’s got to be good.
So, who’s tuning in with me this Saturday? For more information, log onto their Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram.
