So I finally watched last week’s Tivoed episode of America’s Next Top Model, and one question above all is burning in my mind:

Why isn’t everyone in America talking about Janice Dickinson’s smoldering lip-lock with Tyra Banks?

For my part, I’m still trying to figure out if it thrills me or horrifies me.

But then of course I’ve been watching this show for two years and I still can’t figure out if Janice Dickinson herself thrills me or horrifies me. My cousin in Los Angeles says she sees Janice Dickinson every once in a while in her Mommy and Me group. To my mind, this tips the balance somewhat towards “thrills” and away from “horrifies.”

Though of course in this particular case the two are really inextricably intertwined.
