ANTM Casting Requirements Even Less Stringent Than One Might Rightly Assume
Do you have what it takes to be in the running towards becoming America's Next Top Model? It's quite possible that you do, and that you don't even know it! The open casting call to be held at Park Central New York (870 Seventh Avenue at 56th street), on Saturday, March 24 from 10am-4pm stipulates only that prospective contestants be "female, ages 18 to 27, of diverse backgrounds, shapes, sizes and with a minimum height requirement of 5'7" tall." Because that's what models are! If by "18-27" you mean "14-20" and if by "diverse backgrounds, shapes, sizes" you mean "Estonian and skeletal." But fuck reality: that is SO not what reality TV is about, especially ANTM. We find ourselves sorely tempted to go down there and compete. Do you even have to have been born a woman? Based on a good look at current contestant Jaslene, we're thinking the answer is "no."
