Today (I know I’m kinda late…) Alluringly Bewitching* (don’t forget the *) turns TWO (2 years)~~ that’s right. I know it’s a lame website, but it serves its purpose of fanlisting. Would people want it a website? I don’t know. Certainly, Kahlen news have slowed down… visits as well (cause or consequence?) - Anyway, even ANTM searches have slowed down in here…
But we’re here to celebrate Alluringly Bewitching* - Kahlen is to date my favorite ANTM contestant/runner-up/etc ~ and two years ago, I was surprised she didn’t have her own Fanlisting… so I opened one. My second one, I don’t know how some people manage to handle over 20 sometimes~~~
We’ve reached over 250 members in the time it’s been opened. I am still hoping Kahlen writes someday *laughs* … *rolls eyes* - Anyway, on the layout. I love that shot of Anger/Wrath, and it’s probably my favorite photo of all the seasons I’ve watched.
Thoughts? Comments?

So… I have noticed, I don’t know if you have, but I seem to have a 6-month mark. It’s basically me finding something, obsessing over it for 6 months, and then sort of… there? It’s still there, but not getting mad over it anymore.
At least it’s been like that since Harry Potter… I am almost pretty sure. I pretty much disliked the last two books, for OBVIOUS reasons, some smart people might notice… and friends will pretty much know. So it all sort of crushed something inside of me…
Main thing is, I don’t read as much as I was reading in my 2003-2006 period, but that’s another topic.
Since then, I’ve been jumping fandoms… now, is it because some fandoms are not good? Or is it something about me? Can’t I hold my interest longer than six months??

I saw my first episode of Brazil Next Top Model. Yes, the Top Model fever made it to South America. At first sight, BrNTM had really great aesthetics… so I just had to give it a peek. First, the colors are very ‘hot’ right now, with blacks, magenta and cyan… so it was hard not to be attracted to the brand.
Brazilian super-uber model Gisele Bundchen was to host, but declined - instead BrNTM’s got Fernanda Motta, who gives the show a whole lot different look than it would’ve gotten if Bundchen had accepted. Fernanda’s got dark thicker eyebrows, darker hair - she kinda reminds me of Amanda Peet. Anyone else think so? Check out her pic in the BrNTM’s site (here). She’s got a lower voice, than high-pitched Tyra Banks, who… let’s face it, has given ANTM a woo-ha-ha vibe to the show… so in the end, BrNTM seems a more serious version of America’s…………. Next…. Top…… Model. lol’
Technically, I don’t like BrNTM’s editing… seems a bit choppy at times, and sometimes it lengthens shots and *snores* - yeah, that’s basically it. While I was watching the episode, I couldn’t wait for the scene to end and get it over with. This first photoshoot was a bit boring too, and I guess I must’ve missed this bit in the subtitles, but some of the shots were f-ugly.
Judges have no personality. I’m sorry. I didn’t care much about what they were actually saying because they said the same thing over and over - I’d much rather watch Mrs. Jay talking to Tyra and Nigel… okay, Twiggy falls in the “same thing over and over” category. However, they did seem to be ‘harsher’ in their comments than the American version… kinda like how Janice Dickinson would say something, only LESS FUNNY and LESS ENTERTAINING. They would be better off showing us a report card with a checklist to see if they make it or not.
Contestants… I dunno if it’s because it’s my first time watching, but they or most of them seemed similar to me. I think there are like 2 that I can actually remember how they look. Livia, and Erycka - other than them, I can’t remember their faces or won’t tell them apart. There were like two others that had pretty faces, one of them reminded me of a friend… needs hmm, more variety?
On the subtitling part, this is on Sony - I feel like I missed a lot from the show from the subtitles. I’ve no idea why, but it is what it is. Better subs? Or maybe I’m just not used to hearing much Portuguese, but I’ve seen films in Portuguese and I know there are better subtitles than the ones you’ve been showing me, so don’t go there blaming my ability to read subs, because I know I’m good at it.
Overall, I’ve still to make my mind about this. I will probably give it another shot, but it needs to be less slow, less boring, and please keep the Brazilian Soap Opera vibe to a minimum (yeah, saw the commercial for next week’s episode). And of course, BrNTM in the end could be more talented and more serious, but THAT DOESN’T MAKE GOOD TV VIEWING.
Here is the shortlist:
- Better editing.
- Cut boring shots short.
- Add spice (a.k.a. personality) to the judges, or…
- Change jury to a simple checklist… check!
- More physical variety to the contestants.
- Better subtitles.

October 15th is Blog Day or something… and we are supposed to get talking about the environment that day. Oh yeah, blog day is a day when all people could blog about this one topic… I think it could be interesting, yet I really don’t know what I could talk about relating to the environment, so if you’ve got an idea, let me know.
Also, I re-started watching America’s Next Top Model Cycle 7, which has just began last week in Latin America through Sony Entertainment Television. So people, if you get Sony - tune in every Wednesday at 8pm Chile/7pm Peru Colombia and support CariDee, AJ, Megg, Megan, Michelle and Amanda! Lol’
I’m gonna show-off and say “zomg! I still can’t believe Megan left a message in my MySpace” haha - she’s awesome! Megg also sent a short message, so Rock ON!!!!!!!! ^^
Also began watching The Tudors, season 1, on People and Arts - I missed the episode on Sunday, and the repeat seemed like it was censored because it kept on going to commercials at weird intervals. It was okay, though… I was expecting more. I guess I’m gonna feel like this with The Other Boleyn Girl, which is a shame - it might be a better read, than watching it on screen.
I’ve also been meaning to watch Weeds, I’ve seen the first 2 or 3 episodes, and it was really good. I was looking for the DVD, and it was really cheap, but it turns out season 1 of Weeds is only Fullscreen, instead of Widescreen - and Lionsgate has no plans on re-releasing this as a Widescreen DVD. STUPID LIONSGATE. They just want $$, so people that don’t wanna buy the Fullscreen DVDS have to get the Widescreen Blu-ray discs - now, I haven’t even started buying neither HD or Blu so I won’t start just now.

It’s 4 a.m, and I have decided to blog. Why? Well, I did my website statistics, and finally remember what program I was using to read my logs. I ran the logs, and found something I thought was funny.
For those of you who don’t know, I run the Kahlen Rondot Approved Fanlisting - Kahlen was the America’s Next Top Model runner-up for cycle 4 - and, oh well… I’ll show you the picture.
Over 30% of the searches are for Kahlen. So sad… people need to start searching for me! LOL
Anyway, I think that’s about it. I’ll see if there’s anything else I’m forgetting. I wonder how everyone is doing…
