merry christmas eva

As you probably know, last night was the finale of America's Next Top Model (3rd season). At the beginning of the show, it was down to three contestants: Amanda, the going blind white girl who looked disturbingly like Annie Lennox with long blonde hair; Eva, the tom boy black girl with short hair and a diva attitude; and Yaya, the bitchy African American girl with an ivy league education and a superior attitude the size of the Bodleian Library.

First, Amanda was cut. I was ecstatic--finally, proof that there is a god and he does hate hippies. Then Eva and Yaya had to compete in a fashion show in Japan. They both did well. The judges were torn. Janice obviously favored Yaya while Nole was sold on Eva. I was biting my nails--would the homegirl win or would the African Queen sail down the Nile?

Finally, Tyra announced Eva's name and cheers erupted from the couch.
