"[Tyra Banks] spends half the docuseries explaining how she was intimately, minutely involved in every brilliant aspect of the show, but her memory suddenly goes foggy..."

"... when she’s asked about trash parts. Shandi’s horrific experience in Milan? She didn’t know anything about that, she insists. The blackface? Her unique way of showing that all skin tones were beautiful. The show was just a product of its times, she insists: 'You guys were demanding it.'Were we? I don’t personally recall ringing up Les Moonves to say that I wanted to see 12 young women get knocked over by swinging pendulums and wear dresses made of raw beef, but who can remember — it was a long time ago in the fog of war."

From "We knew ‘America’s Next Top Model’ was cruel. We watched it anyway. Yet another documentary exposes how popular culture failed women 20 years ago. What made this acceptable entertainment?" (WaPo).

Here's the trailer for that new Netflix documentary:

"I’m obsessed with being first, or unique, with something. I was trying to make sure that the consistency wasn’t familiar in the mouth...."

"It’s not thick like a milkshake and not thin like hot chocolate. It’s a richness. It’s a consistency that’s not super familiar... Like a cream-based soup. Like a soup in the winter that’s just like, ‘Oh, this just feels like Mama,’ kind of."

Said Tyra Banks, quoted in "Tyra Banks Says It’s ‘Hot Ice Cream.’ Everyone Else Just Says, ‘Huh?’/Even those who have tried it struggle to describe the model’s baffling concoction. That includes Ms. Banks herself" (NYT).

The product is sold at Banks's "ice cream" shop in Sydney, Australia. In the U.S., you can't sell something as "ice cream" that doesn't meet the USDA definition of ice cream. That's why I put quotes around "ice cream." This is an American blog.

AND: An American poem parody for the occasion:

Some say ice cream will end in heat, 

Some say in ice.

From what I’ve tasted of defeat

I hold with those who favor heat....

"You have the smallest waist in the world. Look at that waist!"

"There's something about her I quite like."

"Tyra Banks Puts 'Top Models' in Blackface. When Did This Become OK?"

Tyra has our attention.

"Banks 'concerned' over model riot."

"We are concerned by the events."

In other words: You were given a chance to prove that you could be America's Next Top Model. A model needs to remain calm and hold her pose during a melée and you freaked out and stampeded. Please go now.
