The Next Top Model Research Website
Bonjour! My name is Marie-Agnès Parmentier and I am a PhD candidate at York University in Toronto, Canada where I’m writing a dissertation on the online community of fans of fashion modeling reality TV.
For several years now, I have been studying the modeling industry. I have gathered quite a lot empirical material about modeling and I thought it would be nice to share some of it with other Top Model fans.
So...Enjoy!

Left: How many do you have? These are the Mattel Barbie and Friends Top Model dolls.
Right: My research has taken me to different places, notably NYC, where in August 2007, I met two really nice guys who waited for hours in the heat so that their significant others could try out for the show’s open casting call.
Welcome!
