We're not ashamed to admit we have a total girl crush on Seattle's entry in this cycle of America's Next Top Model. Elina, the Bjorkish bombshell who's dedicated her life (all 18 years) to animal liberation and utters reality TV gold like, "I am just a sexual person" is rapidly winning us over. If that makes us shallow, so be it. more ›

Seattle’s reality TV lovers are loving life right now. Along with Blayne on Project Runway, we can add a hopeful on America's Next Top Model to our cadre of locals to root for (or laugh at, depending on your feelings for Blayne): Elina. more ›

This cycle promises to be juicy. We've been promised a transgendered model (Tyra will love this!), as well as some sort of sex slavery tie-in (oh my). Check out MidSeasonReplacements.com's list of the fourteen models who are on this season (warning: lots of leg ahead), complete with tidbits of moderately interesting gossip about each one. more ›

Can you walk? Are you skinny, and can you pose your body in bizarre ways that come across as really sexy and alluring in photographs? Then maybe head out to the Doubletree Guest Suites Seattle Airport/Southcenter next Thursday, Aug. 12, and get your ANTM face on. more ›

Despite a recent rash of violence surrounding America's Next Top Model in Seattle, this Seattlest decided it would be okay to host an ANTM-viewing party tonight. Though there was a fair amount of yelling two cycles ago because our hatred for Natasha and last cycle because our devotion to Heather (the model with Asperger's Syndrome), were not shared by our friends, we figured that since previous parties the wife organized took place without any stabbings or fisticuffs amongst the attendees, tonight's would be safe. more ›

We always knew that Tyra Banks and her train wreck of a reality TV competition, America's Next Top Model (ANTM), was an acquired taste. You either love it (and like Seattlest, you only mention that to your closest friends...and you guys), or you hate it. But a Seattle woman took that disdain for Tyra and Miss Jay's crazy glitter eyebrows a little too far, when she stabbed an acquaintance for watching ANTM too loudly. more ›

In preparation for the Zion I and Mistah F.A.B. show at Chop Suey tonight, Seattlest has been stalking AmpLive a little bit. It's not hard. The producer half of Zion I gained wide-spread notoriety for releasing (at first, sans permission) a collection of chill Radiohead . "I have always wanted to do a song using a harp," AmpLive told Evolving Music earlier this month. Now we HAVE to go to the show, just in case there's some harp action. more ›

KARAOKE: Wednesday night is always karaoke night at the Little Red Hen, an outpost of country music that's inexplicably smack dab in the middle of Volvo-driving, NPR-listening, holiday-tree-owning Green Lake. The crowd veers toward the early-20s spectrum, so if you need a break from parties where people discuss mortgages, the new Whole Foods, and their fucking jobs, this is the place to go. Tip: Bring cash so you can buy beer from the guy with the cooler instead of standing in a long line at the bar. more ›

As previously alluded to, Seattlest is unabashed in our love for television. We tend to gravitate toward the good stuff, but we are by no means too highbrow to watch reality TV. Case(s) in point: the gloriously addictive trainwrecks known as Surreal Life 5 and Being Bobby Brown. For us, the viewing of such apocalypse-heralding fare is merely a spectator sport; that is to say, we've got no aspirations to be the castmember who actively works to alienate everyone in the house. While Seattlest is certainly not sociopathic enough to vie for a spot on a reality show, we cannot assume the same is true of our readership. For that reason, we feel the need to announce that America's Next Top Model will be holding auditions in Seattle next week. more ›

New means of communication have always ushered in radical changes in our societal structure. The internet, the television, and the telephone have irrevocably changed our day-to-day existence. The latest communication method our society will have to prepare for is TyraMail. What is TyraMail, you ask. Is it some super-fast, spam-free, ultra-secure tool? more ›
