ANTM12第七名英文訪談 - 超級名模生死鬥

※ 引述《hoyumi (春爛漫!戀爛漫!)》之銘言：
: 倫敦大橋垮下來= =~
: =======以下為懶的翻譯版本======
: Reality TV Games participated in a post-elimination conference call with Ameri
: ca Next Top Model 12's London Levi.


: How did you come to be cast on America's Next Top Model?
為什麼你會參加ANTM的選角??

: It was my personal makeup artist Tawnie Tatum who actually got me to try out.
: An America's Next Top Model casting director saw pictures of me in her online
: portfolio, contacted us and invited me to audition. Tawnie and I drove from
: Dallas to Houston, which is pretty far away... we slept in her car - her car
: is a Beetle, so it was pretty small. I got dressed in a McDonald's bathroom.
: Even up to the last minute I wasn't sure if I wanted to try it, but Tawnie
: insisted, she was like, "You'll make it!"

是我的個人化妝師Tawnie Tatum她盧我去試試看
有一個ANTM的選角人員看到我在Tawnie Tatum網站照片集裡的照片
於是聯絡我們並請我參加甄選
TT跟我從DALLAS開車到HUSTON(很遠)，我們睡在她車上 她的車是BEETLE~很小
所以我必須去藍藍路的洗手間換衣服 雖然到這最後一刻 我依然不確定我想參加
但是Tawnie堅持要我參加!她說你會成功的!!

: What caused your weight gain?
為什麼你會變胖?

: When I came on the show I was still recovering from an eating disorder. The
Top Model house was an alternative universe, we were not allowed out and other
: than the three flights of stairs there was no other way to exercise. I ate
: normally and no more than the other girls, but because my body had gone
through so much abuse, my metabolism and digestion were out of whack. The food I ate
: pretty much got stored as fat and I gained a lot of weight. I am not like the
: other girls, they are tall and thin... they have great genetics. My family is
: Italian, I am big boned and naturally curvy. [Later in the interview London
: said she gained 15-20 pounds. Also, the show provided the food, the models
: would make a grocery list and someone from the production staff would do the
: shopping].

當我參加這個節目我還是在治療飲食失調的問題當中
Top Model House是一個與世隔離的空間 我們不准出去
而且只有三層樓 根本沒地方運動
我只是吃得跟平常一樣而且不比其他女孩多
但因為我的身體已經接受那麼多傷害
我的新陳代謝跟消化系統都失控 食物都變成脂肪於是我變胖
我我不像其他女孩,他們都又高又瘦!!他們真是有好基因XDD
我們家是義大利裔 我骨架大又有曲線

[後來的失敗感言LONDON說她胖了15-20磅 還有這節目提供食物
參賽者們會寫採買單 然後工作人員會幫他們買]

: Did the judges know about your eating disorder?
評審知道你飲食失調嘛??

: Yes.
知道

: Were you surprised by the judges comments about your weight?
當評審提到體重問題你有很驚訝嗎??

: Actually the judges had been commenting about my weight going back to the
: second episode, but it was not shown until the last few episodes.
其實評審在第二集就有提到我的體重問題
只是在最後一集才剪出來

: Do you still plan to pursue modeling?
你會繼續當MODEL嗎??

: Yes, I have lost all of the weight I gained while on the show and I still want
: to model. Before the show, modeling was my main passion, but I believe that
: God humbled me before the nation to reveal that He has a different plan for me.
: So if I get booked I will definitely take the job, but modeling is not #1
: anymore. I love fashion and I've wanted to go to FIT for fashion design and
: styling for years. [FYI... FIT is the Fashion Institute of Technology, a
: prestigious design school in New York City, Michael Kors, Calvin Klein,
: Carolina Herrera and surprisingly film director Joel Schumacher are graduates
: ].

會啊!我已經減到我在節目中增加的體重了 還有我想繼續當MODEL
在節目前 MODELING是我的主要熱情所在
但是我相信上帝祂讓我謙虛而且讓我知道他有別的計畫
所以如果有人請我當MODEL我會接下這個工作
但是MODEL已經不是我人生的第一了
我愛時尚 為了成為時尚設計師跟造型師我會去FIT個幾年

[FYI...FIT是時尚科技學院 有名的畢業設計師有
Michael Kors(project runway的評審)
Calvin Klein Carolina Herrera 還有電影導演Joel Schumacher]


: Were you surprised at your elimination?
你會很驚訝你被淘汰嗎?

: Yes and no.
一半一半

I was nervous and I struggled during the shoot, but when Jay pulled me to
the side to talk, he still told me that I had gotten in some great shots
and he loved what he was seeing. After the I was pretty sure that I was safe,
我很緊張還有我在拍照過程中還蠻糾結的
但是Mr Jay拉我到一邊他告訴我我有些不錯的照片而且他很滿意
這讓我覺得我應該很安全

: in fact I have gone into other panels thinking that I could get eliminated,
: but not this one. Then when we got to panel and saw the photo and heard the
: judges comments then I knew that there was a good chance that I'd be on the
: bottom.
但事實上我在評審時我覺得我會被淘汰 但我覺得不是這次
然後我們評審時我看到照片加上那些批評時我覺得我有可能會是B2


About Ciara
說說CIARA這個人

: She is such a sweetheart and so down to earth! When I saw the shoes she was
: wearing and I was like, those are blanks, I almost bought those same shoes in
: a different color! We both laughed, even though I was eliminated, I really
: enjoyed the shoot.

她很貼心又很認真!當我看到她穿的鞋我很愛
他們是blanks 我幾乎要買同款式但不同色的鞋!於是我們都笑了~
雖然被淘汰但我還是很享受這次拍照過程


: What did you learn from your Top Model experience?
這次參加比賽你學到什麼?


: There are things that I knew about modeling, but it wasn't until I experienced
: it first hand, that I really knew.
在比賽前我知道一些有關MODELING的事 但是並不是我想像的第一手訊息
Like I knew that models are suppose to stay
: skinny and that there is a lot of rejection, but it was not until I experience
: d it first hand that I got the full effect.
像我知道當MODEL應該要保持瘦瘦的 但其實不是我想的這樣


: Overall, did you think that you were portrayed fairly and accurately?
整體來說你覺得節目對你的描述有公平確切嗎?


: Yes, I do. I don't think they could portray me any differently than I was. I'm
: goofy... (laughs). There were things about me that you didn't see like me
: acting out my faith or my true potential as a model but that's reality TV.
我覺得是 我不覺得他們把我描述成另一個人
我很傻大姐(笑)!!
妳沒看到得是我表現我的熱誠跟我的潛力
但這是實境節目(所以看不到)~

: What aspect of your model potential didn't we see?
你說你的潛力我們沒看到的是?


: At the photo shoots, Jay gave me lots of compliments and no major negative
: criticisms. I would feel very proud of how I performed and then at panel, when
: my picture was shown, the judges would just bash on it and bash on it.
I often thought I had much better photos than what was shown,
I don't know what goes on behind the scenes with Tyra and the judges and why.

照相時 JAY一直給我很多讚美而且很少批評
讓我以為在評審室中我會很驕傲我的表現
當照片出來時 評審卻攻擊它
我常常覺得我有更好的照片
我不知道TYRA跟評審出甚麼問題

What was the most consistent positive and negative feedback that you got from
: the judges?
評審對你最好跟最壞的評語是甚麼?


: The most consistent positive feedback was that I always smiled with my eyes..
: I was able to do Tyra's famous smiling with your eyes.
最好的評語是我會用眼睛微笑 我能做出TYRA最出名的用眼睛微笑
The negative feedback, other than my weight, would be about relaxing my face.
Also that I looked like I was trying too hard...some models think that
squinting your eyes and pursing your lips will make a great photo, but
they'd rather you look relaxed.
不好的評語除了體重外 應該是放鬆妳的臉
還有我看起來用力過度
還有有些MODEL想說張大眼睛 嘟嘴就會有好照片
但他們很放鬆!

[Interviewer:

Did you get similar advice fro photographers that you worked with before
Top Model?
你覺得節目前的攝影師有給你類似的建議嘛??


Yes, I did get comments about relaxing my face more...you
: think I'd take the advice from the Dallas photographers, but I didn't
(laughs).
有 我有收到像再放鬆妳的臉一點
你覺得我有收到DALLAS的攝影師的建議
但我沒有!(笑)


: Which judge (or judges) do you think supported you the most?
你覺得哪個評審最支持你??


: Tyra. I felt she really cared and the majority of the time she was on my side
Nigel could be very critical, but I thought he was supportive. The other
judges did not seem to like me from the beginning, Paulina and Miss J felt like
I was all wrong for modeling. Mr. Jay is my favorite, even though he's not a
: judge, he supported me every week.
泰嬤!我覺得他很關心我 還有她都在站我這邊
而奈囧有時候很愛批評 但我覺得他算是支持我的
其他評審從一開始就不喜歡我
寶姨跟Miss J覺得我根本不會當MODEL 做甚麼都不對
Mr J是我的最愛!雖然他不是評審之一
但他每個星期都支持我


: Would you like to comment on the critique that you got in the Creative
: Director challenge about how you styled your model?
你想發表你在 創意製作 小挑戰中你怎麼造型你的MODEL嗎??

: I worked real hard and gave a lot of thought about what looked best on
: Allison's body. Southpole is urban streetwear and while I kept in mind that
it was mostly streetwear, I wanted to give it a rock twist. I also went for
a nighttime look. Yes, I put on a headband which is my trademark, but the
: challenge came first and I dressed Allison in the look that worked best on
her.

我真的很認真在這件事上而且絞盡腦汁想怎樣穿ALLISON最美
下半身是城市街頭當我一直想這樣最像街頭風
我想要給他一個搖滾 我還想晚上穿著
是的!我還給他帶上頭帶 那是我的個人標籤
結果我發現ALLISON看起來比較適合我給她得第一個造型


: Tell us about your makeover.
說說你的大改造


: I still have the blond hair, my roots are dark and people from all over the
: place tell me I look like Madonna. When I first got the makeover, I struggled
: like Fo did... it wasn't easy at to tap into my femininity, but I got used to
: it. I am going to keep it this way for a while, my old hair was long and
stringy and I needed a change.

我還是保留金髮 我得根部是黑的 大家都說我看起來像MODONNA
當我看到大改造 我跟FO一樣很掙扎 我覺得不夠女性化
但我習慣它 我也會保留她一陣子
我之前是長髮 我的確需要改變


: Tell us about how you developed your faith.
說說你怎麼開始有信仰

: I come from a Christian family, but they are more spiritual. When I was 10, I
: started going to church with my best friend and that is where my connection
: with God began. I didn't know my earthly father and that is part of what has
: made the relationship with my heavenly father even stronger.

我來自基督教家庭 但他們比較心靈上的
當我十歲我開始跟最好的朋友去教堂
那是我開始跟上帝聯繫的時候 我跟天父的關係幾乎比爸爸更強

: Were you bummed that you didn't get to go to Brazil?
你會覺得沒去巴西很失望嗎?

: Ummm...ummm...(nervous chuckle)...ummm. Yes, not getting a chance to go to
: Brazil would be sad...ummm... who wouldn't be disappointed if they didn't get
: that chance.

恩.........(緊張的科科笑) 是的 沒有去巴西的機會讓我很傷心
誰都會因為沒機會去巴西而失望的

: Is there anything that you would like to say to your fans?

你想跟FANS說甚麼嗎?


: Thank you!! Without God and the fans, my experience on Top Model... it was
good, but it wouldn't have meant near as much. Getting so much positive
feedback from the fans made my experience on the show even better. The judges
would be down on me about something or just my being there, but when I
experienced it with the fans they seemed to appreciate my talents more.
It was good finding out what the fans thought because there were things
that I saw differently than the judges and many fans expressed feelings
that were similar to mine.

謝謝你們!!沒有上帝跟Fans 我的ANTM經驗很棒 但沒有他們不會這麼有意義
收到這麼多FANS正面的反應讓我在節目中的經歷更棒
評審有時讓我覺得很DOWN 或是在那裏讓我很DOWN
但當我發現FANS更喜歡我的才能這感覺很棒
知道FANS的想法很棒 因為有些事我的觀點跟評審不同而FANS跟我有同感

: Thank you, London!
謝謝你的訪談!!!LONDON



依我對LONDON的愛我把它翻出來了....結果5點時居然斷線= ="
只好重翻一遍了QQ

看訪談之中我真的也愛上MR JAY!我覺得他對選手都好好喔!
而且感覺也很中立(其實太固定評審還是有壞處的)

老實說不知道LONDON算不算被陰
因為訪談中PAULINA跟MS JAY都不愛她
好像只有TYRA愛她...
還有他說MR JAY每次都有讚美她的照片
結果出來不是這麼一回事
我覺得以後照片應該給MR JAY選才對

但事發現LONDON從第二集就被說變胖><
唉呀!!這季的房子沒地方運動最好是胖不起來!!
不管啦!!LONDON被TOP MODEL HOUSE陰了
