When Is the America's Next Top Model Cycle 16 Season Finale?

America's Next Top Model Cycle 16 just started up, but we're already wondering when we're going to find out who the winner is! And now we know. The winner will be announced Wednesday, May 18, 2011 and as we know, they will be in Morocco by then. Can't wait to see what the final runway is!

America's Next Top Model

Here in the land of America's Next Top Model, we technically won't be shelling out anything to purchase Jay Manuel's new clothing line because it's exclusive to Canada, for now. So what will our neighbors to the north be paying? Surprisingly, Jay opted for a totally affordable price point, despite his own designer duds.

ATTITUDE Jay Manuel will have pieces that go for anywhere from $12.99 to $139.99, so his line won't break the bank. And, his sizes range from 0-18, for all the fabulously ferosh, funky fresh, fiercely real girls out there. Tyra would be proud.

The line features '60s and '70s fashion inspiration, with a bold, Moroccan color palette, and includes pieces like seamed dresses, wide-legged trousers, pencil skirts, and modern suits that can transition from office to evening. The line will be rolled out in Canadian Sears stores come August, and will jump the border into American Sears stores in 2012. Can't wait.

French Fried

Is this the same woman? 51 Year old French model Inès de la Fressange hit the runway with youthful smile and it's big talk of how this older woman looks so young.

But that is it folks. Looks... Sorta... Kinda... Well if you keep the camera at a distance. Looking young on stage and then looking young off stage are two different things.

Am I picking on her? No. I applaud her for taking the limelight. But I also think of the vanity and egotism it takes to be a model. That element of narcissim leaves her open to criticism. If she is going to step forward with the claim of youthful looks, then she really should have them. Naturally. Inès is no Raquel Welch who is now 68. That's 17 years older and still way hot. Here is one of Raquel with make-up and without. You be the judge.

So remember in the words of Martin Fry of ABC, "She may look pretty but there's make-up on her face"
