I get daily emails from Saks about their new season collections. I normally delete them, but this time I went on and checked it out, because I saw a Black model. She looked familiar... Then I clicked on the pic to enlarge it and I realize that it was Danielle,the winner from America's Next Top Model. This was confirmed after I looked at NY Mag and they said that she was modeling for Saks catalog for the Tory Burch collection. Now, I hadn't seen Danielle (she goes by "Dani" now) since she did a special appearance for a later cycle in ANTM, but I did see her competition, Jaide, in the Ne-yo video for "Go-on" (she is the one squatting at the beginning). This made me wonder how the ANTM alumni do after being on the show. After a bit of research, I notice that the Non-winners do much better than the ones who win. For example:
- Bianca models for Sean John
- Jaslene was in fashion week modeling for Project Runway, and others
- Kim is now a VJ for MTV
Jaslene won, but she is probably the exclusion to this rule. I'll do more research and post some videography of the ANTM alumni....
Remember Jaeda, the one that said she was always to pretty one at school and got all her hair cut off (it was the Carrie Dee year.. Well I just saw her, she moved back to Iowa and is going to this horrible college called Grandview and she is engaged to this average joe white boy...What a waste, she was supposed to move to New York and try and pursue a dream and she probably was the best looking girl in school coming from IOWA lol .. sidenote: She grew all her hair back LOL
