I try to keep up on the local peeps in the world of reality tv. Everyone knows my sister hearted Camille on Top Chef and I had a soft (brain) spot for the debutante Texan who runs the track at McCarren, but last night I think I found the ultimate Brooklynite on reality tv.
Meet Lauren Utter of America’s Next Top Model, Cycle 10.
When I saw Brooklyn, NY pop up on the screen and her mention the word ‘artist’ and I just knew this chick was living in either Williamsburg or Bushwick. It really depends just how “starving” she is. Her MySpace page just says Brooklyn, but it seems she’s a Jersey transplant. Hey, it’s better than a Texan one, no?
I am all about being Team Lauren! And hey, if that whole modeling thing don’t work out for her (I saw your runway walk, girl…) go buy some of her art.
i’m pretty sure that Claire (the super pretty one with the half-mohawk) also lives in Greenpoint. I checked her out on myspace and she has a photo of “the view from Greenpoint” plus I am CONVINCED that i have seen her around.
I love Lauren, and once I discovered her art, it was Love++. I like the self portrait from her MySpace. She’s very talented! Now if she can just get comfortable walking in those heels…
I can’t wait to see her soft and pretty Cover Girl picture. I can’t imagine somebody with that much emotion coming up with the necessary vapidness to nail that, but I have the faith!
