America's Next Top Model Cycle 17--"Wanna Be On Top?"

On Saturday, Feb. 20th  auditions for America's Next Top Model Cylcle 17 was in full force. Yes ANTM is now in it's 17th cycle and it isn't slowing down a bit!  Miss Tyra Banks brought us the "Real World" for models way back in 2003 and it's still as fierce as ever. And once again the line wrapped around the entire top floor of the Fashion Centre at Pentagon City Mall-- as hundreds of hopeful girls waited in line for hours; all vying for the opportunity to audition  to be chosen as the next "Top Model." But don't take my word for it. Check out the photos here and stay tuned for my interviews with all the girls!

The line wrapped all around the top floor. 

The girls this year had IPads, Ipods and Kindles to keep them company. 

This stunning beauty was already chosen as one of Tyra's favorites from Cycle 14.

All the girls were telling me why they thought they should be chosen. 

This candidate told me that confidence is key. 

One of my absolute top picks for this year. Stay tuned for my interview with this gorgeous gal. 

It's all about the hair. Jalissa had the confidence and character for sure! 

Short spikey hair ala Halle Berry just may have been the theme this year. 

Short, sheen and confidant again was the theme. 

Like mother like daughter! Cute duo for sure. (Mom was just there for moral support.)

Sassy stripes. It was all about being bold and beautiful for these girls!

Look out for my interviews with all the girls from this year's tryouts. And stay tuned as Markette and I will narrow it down to who we think should be in the the Top 3 for the DC auditions.

AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL DC TRYOUTS: DOWN TO THE TOP TEN!!!!

It's down to the wire. DC auditions for ANTM Cycle 16 has narrowed it down to 10 wannabe hopefuls. Cast your vote NOW only on DC50tv.com home of the CW. Who do you think has what it takes to make it through out of this bunch? I'm loving fresh faced beauty #3, but that's just my opinion. Overall, what do you think of this group? Do you know somebody who has what it takes to sashay there way on the catwalk and get in front of Tyra and company as America's Next Top model???

And speaking of fierce-- tomorrow DC Houswives will be dishing out the drama on screen and maybe even off ?!!!

DC on HEELS has learned that there's a plethora of parties between the housewives. According to an article by Emily Miller of humanevents.com the Salahi's will be hosting a separate after-party following the exclusive premiere hosted by Bravo and Half Yard productions (being held at the Madison Hotel.) The screening party is for close friends of the housewives (who will all be in attendance) and media will be limited. Then after that, the Salahi's will be hosting their own party at EFN lounge, while the other four housewives Amons, Erkiletian, Ommanney and Turner are hosting their after-party event with Washington Life Magazine at Buddha Bar.

Either way and either party you attend... the DC Houswives will be sure to entertain. All drama aside it's just suppose to be fun lighthearted entertainment for your viewing pleasure. Nobody is saving lives here, so let's all just watch the show, attend the parties and ENJOY it! It is ENTERTAINMENT after all.

DC DOPPELGANGER: CELEBRITY LOOK- ALIKE

Coming in at the number one spot with 96% is the bootylicious and talented triple threat Mrs. Beyonce Knowles or is it Beyonce Z? Either way that's what the face recognition ran for the lovely Oh My Goff.

Runner-ups include fellow news reporter and journalist Katie Couric, actress Kate Bosworth, and my personal favorite Doritoes spokes gal and former Miss USA Ali Landry! Hey I wish my doppelganger would put me with a former Miss USA! Ok what are your thoughts? Was the face recognition spot on or what? I can def. see a blend of Landry and Couric with a dash of Bosworth and Knowles.
