Flippin through the channels while my daughter was here, I saw a commercial for a TV show a friend of mine was complaining about. Make Me A Supermodel She’s Got The Look is about over-35 women who think they have what it takes to model. Per my friend’s observation, the contestants on the show had already been professional pretty women at some point in their lives. Moreover, they fit well within the standard definition of what a model should look like, they’re just older than 35. Like women stop lookin good after 35. Her critique was that the show is actually missing its opportunity to include a multiplicity of body types. What about the women who aren’t 5′10″, svelte, and drop-dead gorgeous? Why can’t they do a show about average women who would like to be supermodels?

I probably wouldn’t watch it, but then I don’t watch very much. I definitely think it would be interesting, though. But I wouldn’t want it to be a segregated show in terms of having all the contestants be big jawns. I might not even necessarily want it to be a contest, either. More like tracking ordinary, everyday women who are attempting to get a shot at being models.

Probably wouldn’t sell, but it might be interesting.
