New York Model Latina Competition Information

This past September, HP partnered up with Vivienne Tam to release an HP Mini 1000, also being called a digital clutch, featuring peony flowers. Due to its popularity since its release, they have reworked the Mini and will be coming out with an HP Mini 2000 inspired by the Chinese Butterfly Lovers story. Since fashion and technology go hand in hand, HP and Intel have announced a product integration with Lifetime Television’s hit show Project Runway making HP’s touch-enabled PC and notebook a fundamental component of the creative process for the upcoming designer hopefuls.

Vice President of Production and Development for TV and Feature Film at the Weinstein Company, Barbara Schneeweiss says, “Technology is what’s next in fashion design. Forward-thinking designers are exploring new ways to use technology in the design process.”

The designers will have the option to utilize these computers to sketch and inspire their designs, while the winner will be given $50,000 prize package from HP and Intel to create, design, and run their own business post Project Runway.

JoAnn Alfano, executive vice president of Entertainment at Lifetime Network, said, “We are excited about HP’s new technology and think it will add a great new element to this season of Project Runway.”

more on the ANTM Casting call and here

We all heard about the ANTM casting call, especially the infamous NYC model castings held at a theater. Heres the video of how not to hold open auditions for thousands of aspiring models.

So I heard the news about whats going on with Tyra Banks and her show America’s Next Top Model. A few months back I remember hearing about the craziness, riot and arrests at the ANTM New York America’s Next Top Model Casting Call. I also read after that crazy casting call, ANTM will change the way modeling casting calls are done for the show.

Tyra and the producers decided to switch it up a bit for cycle 13, maybe the ratings have been dipping. Anyway, ANTM cycle 13 will be all shorter models who are 5’7″ and under. The show also has said that they wanted a diverse bunch in all shapes and sizes.

With that said, you gotta wonder how a short model will fit into the high fashion scene of today. There were a few shorter models that did make supermodel stardom, Kate Moss and Twiggy come to mind, but for the most part the majority have been extremely tall. The reasoning behind that is that many designers feel their clothes look better on taller, leaner women.

So far in the history of the Tyra Banks ANTM show, none of the ladies have made it to supermodel stardom. So maybe it is time for a change.

The casting calls for the Tyra Banks show America’s Next Top Model Cycle 14 are going on this month all over the country. A few days ago the show went to Columbus and held auditions and interviews for a few hundred aspiring models.

Cycle 13 had cast short models for the show, so I have yet to find out what this new season of ANTM will be casting for, guess we’ll wait and hear.

In the meantime, below is the audition schedule for ANTM Cycle 14.  ANTM may be coming to a city near you.
