[edit] Biography
When Lisa joined America's Next Top Model, she was a 24-year-old wardrobe stylist from Los Angeles.
[edit] America's Next Top Model
On the show, Lisa was portrayed as the girl with the most outrageous personality. Lisa was a heavy drinker, and performed several odd things, including talking to a shrub she named Cousin It and urinating in an adult diaper used for a photoshoot in front of the other contestants and the Wildboyz.
The Top Model judges eliminated D'Amato eighth, as they perceived her spitfire confidence as arrogance, although her pictures and personality had been considered some of the strongest of the contestants.[citation needed]It is speculated that Lisa was eliminated because her face was "not right for modeling, not even catalog modeling".[2]
Lisa has shown discontent with her elimination and the show in general writing about it in a blog [1].
“ | I didn't want anyone to win! I wanted them to run after me and say they made a mistake. Truly, I knew I was the best one all around. And the one photo shoot that I got eliminated on proved to me in my heart that it was rigged, and just bull-shit and I'll tell you why.... For the photo shoot, it was the phone booth. I was the last girl to shoot, when I was done J Manuel lined all the girls up and said Lisa did the best, she was so playful. (He then) told the girls that we were the final 6 and they needed to pick up the pace like Lisa's doing. Then proceeds to show them the poses I was doing with the facial expressions(mind you they couldn't see because they were behind me) and then said "YOU ALL GET MORE FRAMES EXCEPT FOR YOU LISA!!! and that was the one I was eliminated on.......? And with the paparazzi photo.... the one they showed while actually taping in London was good. The one they showed on TV-BAD! They switched it out so it would make more sense to viewers. But, actually I took a good picture. So, the girls got to shoot again where as I didn't. Unfair. So, you see I don't know what to think about the whole thing. Also, if I was eliminated because of my big personality, why did they tell me everytime I asked we are only judged on our pictures and the challenges- not our character!!! Thats what they told me over and over and over and over!!!!! What would you think about this If it were you in my shoes? I mmeeeaaannn..... right! | ” |
