Danielle is America's Next Top Model!!!


Hey people,

I don't watch a lot of TV but I do have my favorite shows. And I was so excited to watch the Finale of America's Next Top Model because my favorite girl won! Danielle, the country gal from Little Rock, Arkansas, the one who sprained ankles and became sick and was ridiculed for her gap and her accent won! She overcame all of her obstacles and let her beauty shine through. When they announced her win, my best friend and I were screaming and jumping all over the room. I think I like her so much, because there are so many little black girls who are like her, and want to become a model in a "European-friendly" industry. You could tell she had to face a lot of cultural hurdles when the judges constantly admonished her about her accent-- despite the fact that she tried to suppress it. Although they tried to water down her "Blackness" she stayed true to herself and is a genuine beauty inside and out. Cheers to you Danielle, you go girl!

I too am a big fan of ANTM and thought Danielle should win! I hate I missed the finale but happy to know she won. Thanks for posting on her.

YES!!!! She is such a positive person, no matter what happened she always smiled and took it with a grain of salt, a true star.
I missed the show but they re-run it tomorrow night and I'll be glued to the tv. Yes I would say the right woman won!
