Cycle Three, Episode Five

Welcome back to Riverview's Next Top Model, I'm your host, Tyra Banks.
Last time on Top Model, Mercedes gave birth to twin girls Ann and Norelle, and everyone grew up a little.

Before we knew it, it was time for the twins to age up.

I believe that this is Ann, but I can't really tell the twins apart.

All I know is that one of them is evil.

This is the other twin, either Ann or Norelle.

It's too bad they're all ghosts, I'd like to see something other than a ghost heiress.

Unfortunately, the town glitched, and the twins had to have their birthdays again.

Once again, twins I can't tell apart.

Let's look at redundant pictures!

Stupid glitches destroying old versions of Ann/Norelle...

Aaaand the last one, you can see she's a ghost.

At the gym Mercedes met a nice green man and flirted a bit, but they never made it back to her house. Every time she invited him over he said something came up and he couldn't make it, so she gave up on him. Besides, she still had a husband, she couldn't forget about him so quickly!

Getting tired of birthdays? So am I. You'd think being a ghost haunting a legacy lot would have its advantages, but no. Here's another stupid ghost birthday, Yaya's turning teen.

I think Yaya's quite pretty.

Too bad she's a ghost. Seriously, a top model is not someone already dead!

Amanda also grew into a child. I suppose being blue is better than being dead, but not by much.

In all the excitement of a full household, Blair became ignored, and no one even noticed when he got locked in the bathroom, where he starved to death. Only then did Mercedes notice, and it was too late, her husband was gone.

Rest in piece, Blair Banks, third generation spouse and father of Ann and Norelle Banks.

In shock and sadness, Mercedes took a trip to Egypt, where she mourned her dead husband by taking in all the sights, and trying to gain a higher visa level.

While in Egypt Mercedes met a very nice man, and in her *cough* grief, she, err, reverted to her old ways and seduced him.

Back home, it was time for some birthdays. The twins were growing up into children.

I think that this is Norelle, but I still can't tell them apart.

And really, aren't all ghosts the same?

If that was Norelle, this is Ann.

I guess she's okay, for a ghost.

Mercedes invited over her Egyptian friend, and they hit it off. She brought him up to the bedroom where she might have been a little reckless.

After all, she soon discovered she was pregnant, her husband still only recently deceased. Mercedes ate the customary four watermelons to ensure a female model, then went about her business.

Now one of the two only REALLY alive sims in the house, Amanda was ready to grow up.

She's lovely, if blue, and very pretty. But blue.

Soon after, Mercedes gave birth to her sixth child. Despite trying to have a girl, she gave birth to the first boy in this family. The watermelons just didn't work. She named him Nicole anyway, and he will be eligible to be Riverview's Next Top Model. We don't discriminate.
Too bad he's a ghost.

Anyway, I'll leave you with a shot of the original Nicole.

Cycle Three, Episode Four

Welcome back to Riverview's Next Top Model, I'm your host, Tyra Banks.
Last time on Top Model, Mercedes gave birth to a little blue baby, and got pregnant with her fourth child.

The baby's father is actually her husband's. Blair used to be a floating head, and his hair is white, so he's not exactly normal, but at least he's more normal than Cedes' usual picks.

And what's this? Shannon looking smug standing outside a theater? She must have completed her lifetime wish!

And it's time for the little blue bundle of joy to grow up!

She's pretty cute, even if she is blue. And she's the only one that's not a ghostie.

But Amanda's not the only one to grow up. It's Yaya's birthday too!

And Yaya's a cute little ghost, I guess.

She'd look better if she were human.

Speaking of human, everyone's favorite human rock god is down at the theater signing autographs for her fans.

And just when I'm distracted with Shannon signing autographs, Cedes just has to go give birth.

This is Ann.

And this is Norelle! That's right, she had twins! And they're ghosts!
So now the pick for Top Model is between four ghosts and one living blue girl! Just great.

*sigh* This is what the real Ann looks like.

And this is Norelle. The house is full now, so unless Shannon kicks the bucket before Eva becomes a young adult, she's the last of this generation to be born. That's right, we're stopping early. There's no way Cedes could have fourteen kids without a healthy dose of life fruit.

And to prove that point, here's Cedes becoming an adult, and Eva becoming a teenager.

Not a big change, she's just got a few lines around her eyes and mouth.

And Eva... Well, Eva's face is a mystery to me. From different angles she's alternatively really gorgeous, and hideous.

Can you see what I mean? It's hard to tell in a picture. You have to see her move. I really can't decide whether I love her or hate her.

See, look, right there! Doesn't she look like a drag queen?

Alas, my friends, it is a sad day. It is the death of sexy.

Goodbye, sexy. We will miss you. *sigh* It's just not the same without him.
"Hey, I'm still here you know, just a little older!"
Whatever.

Cycle Three, Episode Three

Welcome back to Riverview's Next Top Model, I'm your host, Tyra Banks.
Last time on Top Model, Mercedes was flirting with all the weirdest men of Riverview.

When we last left her, she was latched on to Mr. Blue.

As soon as that was over, she called over the floating head of her fireman boyfriend.

And she made him her fireman fiance. They got quickly married after this, and he rushed to the mirror to change his clothes and hopefully get a body again.

Here you can see that it worked! You may have also noticed his hair is white. No, he's not an elder, he's a scientist, and let's just say one of his experiments went badly.

And it's birthday time! Yaya's becoming a toddler.

And what a cute toddler is she.

I almost forgot that she was a ghostie for a second.

Hey Mercedes, you're pregnant again. How are you going to explain to your husband if you have a blue baby?
"Uh, genetic condition?"
Well, it's not technically a lie... and he's not so bright, anyway.

This shot is completely to show you that Eva's having a birthday. Yep. It's totally just about Eva. Mr. Not-so-bright back there in his undies is a total coincidence.

Blah, blah, blah, totally normal child sim...

...looks totally creepy as a ghost. She's gotten the insane trait. Oh good. *sigh*

And this shot is totally just to show you how Mr. Not-so-bright gardens. Yep. Totally about gardening.

I do not have a crush on my grandson-in-law, I do not have a crush on my grandson-in-law.

Anyway, Cedes rushes to the hospital for the birth of her third child.

Getting out of the taxi, she comes face to face with Mr. Obama.

Obama, along with everyone else, immediately starts spazzing, of course. Even The Doctor is spazzing. (Though Dr. House seemed pretty calm, if annoyed).

Meet Amanda! She's bright blue.

She really looks nothing like the Amanda from America's Next Top Model.

But anyway, Cedes finally gets pregnant by her husband. Woohoo!

I'll leave you here, come back soon for the next installment of Riverview's Next Top Model!
