    Idk if it's a cultural thing, but the old-at-25 is definitely an ANTM thing. I remember it being an issue every so often when they had someone on who was older than 22. They'd complain about that person "photographing old." And I forget the contestant's name, but I remember one being 26 and the other girls talking about how she was already basically at the end of her career because of her age. I'm assuming now that convo was prompted by producers, but it definitely made an impression on me when I was younger and made me think the industry only wanted young people.

      I was sad they didn't pick Amanda. She was genuinely interested and had an attention to detail with her styling. I know the fashion industry isn't all cuddly and stuff but it was obvious she put thought into her hair and make up (which was also very doll like, so you could see she did care about the theme) and was very respectful. As a designer I would have appreciated a model with this attitude.
      Ann's outfit was cool, I esp. liked her blouse and it would have been great in a Visual Kei inspired outfit!
      I liked Eva's outfit as well but it was more generally Harajuku inspired rather than being giving me specific Babydoll Lolita vibes.
      Overall they were screwed with the budget they had so yeah.
      But honestly I was very surprised they didn't rule out Eva right from the start, not because of her outfit but because the discrimination against dark skinned people is well documented. So I guess they weren't as discrimating in this point, which is nice.

If it wasn't for the cameras, they probably wouldn't accept anyone. Agencies were hostile to many ANTM contestants and I'm sure castings were no different.
      I wouldn't be surprised if they wanted certain contestants to have more positive or negative reviews. Eva being the youngest and shortest should definitely match up closer to Harajuku/Lolita concepts by default. I definitely see it working for everyone but Ann in this instance (didn't match lolita but she'd be excellent for Visual Kei like you said and her photoshoot seemed to agree). Unsurprisingly, Ann got eliminated.

    I don't think it was meant as a mean judgement of her age or appearance nor were they saying that 25 is too old to be a model... Just that an American over 25 would be unlikely to find work/success modeling in Japan.
    It is a small but crucial distinction.

    Some of the smaller train lines run in Japanese only, which can be hard especially if you are trying to translate it and the sign flips super quick. If you ask politely though, people are very willing to help you(the young man who helped me actually pulled the train schedule up on his phone so I didn’t have to worry about it flipping away too fast).
    I also had a scare with my eye where a mass burst and covered my vision with floaters 2 days before I left. My ophthalmologist decided to wait til I got back to fix it so I wouldn’t risk complications while in a different country, so I can feel for that anxiety.
    Also you SHOULD try to learn at least some conversational language before traveling to a country, but they don’t do it “for us(US citizens).” They also get travel from Europe and ALOT of Australia(met a ton of aussies while there). I’ve traveled to countries before and heard other American travelers assume they speak English because of us and I’m like “uh…we didn’t invent the English language..”

    In this case, for a Lolita style campaign, I somewhat understand that they're searching for a very young model with more soft, youthful face features.
    In reality, outside of ANTM they very possibly would've chosen someone of even younger age than 19.

    Commenting on the Age thing: As a gamer, I was really into this game Genshin Impact thats free to play. I was very excited to learn character builds and combinations of elements yadayadayada. Well, a new character came out named Diona who was only 13. Was my favorite because she was also a Sagittarius, a cook, and was ice elemental. I went to the Genshin Impact community page so I can learn any fast ways to get more powerful. I don't want my comment to be banned but lets just say Diona was popular with the creeps. I was on the page to find help, but I was deeply sickened how some people were fine with what they were saying about a younger fictional character. I was so disgusted I stopped playing the game and left the community. They lowkey fetishize the younger people and that makes me uncomfortable.

    Everyone is talking about the Amanda age thing, but no one is mentioning how culturally insensitive Eva was being. I didn’t find it very funny that she was screaming about everything not being in English and yelling “English people!” It’s a bit dramatic and definitely not needed. Amanda was having trouble even seeing the signs and she made out just fine! And I understand the Lolita fashion isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but to call it ugly on TV, especially the way Eva did and especially considering she won the challenge!!! :(

    A shame Amanda didn't win because she had the most accurate outfit for lolita fashion in my opinion as someone who likes lolita fashion, it was honestly a cute casual look. Obviously not a full cord, but they had essentially $200, she wouldn't have been able to buy a decent cord. $200 is the price of many JSKs alone, don't even think about trying to buy a blouse, petticoat, or accessories. I cant be sure, but maybe they didn't choose her for wearing a competitor's fashion pieces on top of her age? I'm not sure if Milk and Metamorphose were competitors but I assume so. That or they thought her actually having a coherent look was her being 'unoriginal'.
    It's also wild that they sent a legally blind person in a country foreign to her to find multiple stores on her own. Out of the show's 'reality', a model with vision issues I'm sure would have someone help them navigate a city, especially one they were unfamiliar with. The hostile way this show would treat it's disabled models and claim it to be in making the playing field 'fair' is disgusting to see as always. If they really thought trying to accommodate her disability would have been unfair, they could have given all the models a guide, but of course that would take away the chance to admonish the girls who got lost and didn't make it to the meeting and we can't have that. 🙄

    25 is definitely considered "old" in lolita fashion from what I've experienced. It's so overly sexualized, especially if they're like 18-19 that it doesn't surprise me the girls were treated like this.

      Whilst there is definitely a problem with the obsession of youth (but honestly, the western world has the same problem), lolita fashion is NOT something sexual in Japan (except if you're a disgusting pervert). It's a fashion style that takes its inspiration from Roccoco and Victorian fashion and praise hyper feminity (tho you don't need to identify as a women to participate in the fashion!). For a lot of people, lolita fashion is actually a way to express feminity without being scared of the male gaze (basically the "lewd gaze"). It's basically a safe place. It's also mostly wore by people who are over 20 years old (a lot of them are in their 30's!) since it's really expensive.
      I just wanted to clarify that since @syria0110 said it made their skin crawled! 😊

      @stinging.nettlez Год назад +10

      sorry but I think you're mistaken about lolita fashion (or egl) and maybe are mixing it up with fashion based on the book/film "Lolita". Lolita fashion is actually very much the antithesis of having a sexualised appearance and there isn't an age cut off with the fashion. For example Misako Aoki, one of the most famous lolita fashion models, is 39 and still models for lolita fashion brands.

    It seems so shallow to first tell a girl she is too old - which shouldn't matter for only one challenge, it's not about discovering the next model that you can portrait as your muse for the next 15 years. And afterwards he literally tells the next girl she is fat by telling her it must have been hard to find her size. Being 25 and a size 4 I now feel old, fat and extremely happy about not having those people judging me.

    some of the reaction's the girls had to the fashion honestly irked me. like I get that not everyone has the same taste but they are models and the reaction they had was rather rude. Also, Lolita fashion does not equal Vladamir Nabokov's Lolita. Lolita fashion comes from rococo style and while yes, it is rather childlike in some respects it is not meant to be sexual. it is feminine. The people who wear true Lolita fashion are covered up. The people who are sexualizing Lolita fashion don't know anything about it. Lolita fashion is not inherently sexual.

I am repped and signed to an agency and clients have no issue with my age in a number sense. They only care that I look youthful and can pass for the look they want. Back then, they did care, but today in 2023 in America, you can model at any age now. It’s really wonderful and I hope embracing age spreads to other countries!
