Teyona wins America's Next Top Model! I know you're probably thinking, "What does ANTM have to do with Visualité?"

News flash: You cannot tell me that the judging process is not a form of visual analysis and critique! 

Anywho, congrats to Teyona! I'm just happy Celia the centurion stylist was booted off of the show...

Nothing like window shopping in Safari. The Manolo Blahnik Hangisi pumps can be purchased from barneys.com for $945.00, roughly $400 more than priced in the film.
