It really is.
Wow, I am SO proud of what Top Model has done.
#ANTM brought the intimidating modeling world to the masses.
We were the first reality show based in the fashion world.
I never thought my little idea would have people everywhere thinking differently about how they take photos.
And I never thought we'd do 22 cycles."
The ANTM host also noted that her goal in creating America's Next Top Model was to prove to everyone that "perfect is boring."
