Tyra Banks in the Arctic Circle |
Tyra Banks heard that hypothermia was a good way to go, but now that her hands are too numb to apply makeup she isn’t so sure. The wolves have natural eyeliner and the ermines’ coats seem to stay luscious without any leave-in conditioner at all. Tyra Banks can’t figure out what language the caribou speak, no matter how many accents she tries, and there’s no WiFi up here for her translator app, not even 3G. Tyra Banks spends most of her time now huddled in a hole she dug in the snow with a platform Manolo Blahnik, gazing hazily at the distant glaciers, blowing on her lipstick to keep it from freezing. |
