America’s Next Top Model is – Teyona!

Last night, Teyona Anderson, a 20 year old bank teller from New Jersey, won America’s Next Top Model (cycle 12). Although Teyona struggled with her Cover Girl commercial she worked the catwalk in Brazil to triumph over Allison Harvard, 20, of New Orleans, and third place contestant Aminat Ayinde, 21, of Union, N.J. Teyona was certainly not the favorite going in but her consistency throughout the season paid off in the end. Teyona appeared on Regis and Kelly today and confessed that she had thrown in the towel and assumed that Allison would win the highly coveted title. But one good stroke of her Cover Girl magic marker turned lipstick, a sexy roll around in the black runway tar and a whimsical twirl of her misguided ponytail (dang, a sista’s worst nightmare – a transient weave!!! ) proved enough for the stunning Jerseyite to prevail. Congratulations Teyona!!!
