America's Next Top Model Poll Results

Results are in from last month's Shorty Stories Poll, which asked you about Cycle 13's ANTM and whether they should have had a petite cycle (considering that the winner they chose was somewhere wasn't exactly "petite")

59% of you said "Sure, it was the point of the cycle, right?"

22% said "No, petite models aren't the same as 'real' petites"

11% said that Tyra should have had a petite cycle to begin with

7% have never heard of America's Next Top Model

EPIC FAIL, ANTM!!!!!

So Nicole, the "petite" model who is 5'7" is the winner of Cycle 13. While the so-called "fashionistas" are raving about how she's one of the best winners ever, I (and probably most petite activists out there) believe that Tyra and her people FAILED. Why bother choosing a winner who could is somewhere between model-petite (which is 5'7" or shorter) and standard? And she isn't even the shortest ANTM winner in history (the shortest was Eva Pigford, who is just under 5'7"). It just shows that ANTM wants people to believe that the only type of modelling is the fashion kind. In addition, throughout the entire cycle, there was NO MENTION of petite designers or even petite-friendly designers AT ALL. Shouldn't Tyra's people have done some research? Because it looks like they didn't. Maybe they should actually explain to the public why they didn't. Really, all they did was put out a casting call for short-for-model girls. EPIC FAIL, Tyra/ANTM!
