We're still reeling over the Cycle 12 finale when Teyona was crowned America's Next Top Model. The edgy beauty beat out Aminat, the outspoken stunner from Jersey and then Allison, the shy, different looking girl from New Orleans. They were all beautiful but Teyona could take an awesome photo, consistently, and that’s what it came down to in the very end.

Cycle 12 was serious business but we had some fun along the way!

So now we look forward to lucky Cycle 13. We're all excited about the twist in the next cycle because the models will all have to be 5'7" or shorter. Heck, they'll be more like us! Many agencies, including Wilhelmina, have a "Petite Division" that specialize in "beauty models" (as apposed to the ugly ones, we're guessing).

Actually, beauty models are all about the face, and that's where some of the biggest paychecks in the industry go. Perfume, skincare and the like are all about the face. So height doesn't really matter. Plus, some of the biggest supermodels of all time are shorties: Twiggy is only 5'5" and Kate Moss is only slightly over 5'6". Wilhelmina also has a women over 24 division (Hello, Celia!) and we'd LOVE to see that explored in a cycle down the road.

Teyona took the ANTM crown officially but it was clear that other contestants showed a lot of talent. Which "loser" do you see pulling off a Clay Aiken and rockin' a stellar career even though she didn’t win?
