Comments on: Tyra Banks smiles prettily, doesn’t answer when asked about ANTM firings http://www.celebitchy.com/69955/tyra_banks_smiles_prettily_doesnt_answer_when_asked_about_antm_firings/ Stylish celebrity escapism Tue, 14 Feb 2012 23:40:13 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Andrea http://www.celebitchy.com/69955/tyra_banks_smiles_prettily_doesnt_answer_when_asked_about_antm_firings/#comment-451360 Andrea Sat, 12 Sep 2009 18:12:18 +0000 http://www.celebitchy.com/?p=69955#comment-451360 mxml - i shall respectfully disagree on a few points. her former employees are both public figures - they dont have to go to the press - me and my coworkers going to the press about our boss would be a big deal - two former supermodels, not so much. also, i dont know if there was a pre-interview agmt or not in this case, but celebs routinely give interviewers topics they cant ask about - its the only way theyll agree to the interview. i didnt see tyra suggest anything - she didnt even bring up the topic and remained mum other than throwing cynthia's questions back at her. mxml – i shall respectfully disagree on a few points. her former employees are both public figures – they dont have to go to the press – me and my coworkers going to the press about our boss would be a big deal – two former supermodels, not so much. also, i dont know if there was a pre-interview agmt or not in this case, but celebs routinely give interviewers topics they cant ask about – its the only way theyll agree to the interview. i didnt see tyra suggest anything – she didnt even bring up the topic and remained mum other than throwing cynthia’s questions back at her.

Get mah hair(s) did. It is rife in the South. Anyway, if that's her real hair it looks pretty damn good. I know she can be annoying in many ways to people on and off her shows, but seeing the above video, I thought she handled herself amazingly well. I sure wish I didn't get sucked into pointed questions, myself. Not that anybody wants to interview me, LOL! ALSO, I have to address Naomi Campbell. The woman is a dangerous CRAZY who beats innocent people and throws things as missiles, don't even compare her to any other model on this planet.

I'm not sure to what extent it's a regional thing, but I think that it's a black female (southern?)American colloquialism. I've heard it a few times in context, and it doesn't seem to be symptomatic of a grammar schism, but a joking acknowledgement (most often delivered with great affectation) of the over-the-top ritual of achieving and maintaining a glamourous beauty regimine. Embrace the process and have fun? I can't say for sure, people don't use the phrase where I'm from, but that's the sense I get whenever I hear the phrase. @Judy: I think the ‘did’ to which you refer is idiomatic.
