Meet Sundai Love

Drive and motivation might add character, but they don't add inches. At 5'3", Sundai Love is the shortest girl in the contest. But the fact that she made the showis good news for short women everywhere. Calling this cycle "Little Women," the show is showcasing models no taller than 5 feet 7 inches.

"There have been top supermodels that weren't as tall as normal, like supermodel Kate Moss," said Tyra Banks in a media release.

Whether Sundai can win over the 13 other model hopefuls remains to be seen, but just getting selected was a big deal.

"I auditioned in Los Angeles. It was a stressful," Sundai said. "The room was full of beautiful girls who were all taller than me. I was nervous, I messed up saying my name!"

"Tyra called out five numbers I was one! I couldn't believe I made the first cut. At the call-back there were three times as many girls as the before."

Sundai Love lived in Bakersfield her whole life. She was attending Bakersfield College student when she learned about the tryout.

How did you find out that "America's Next Top Model" was going to feature shorter women?

My sister tries out every year, She learned they were casting models under 5'7" and told me I should try. I'm a tomboy, but I still woulds like to be model. So we drove to L.A. to audition.

How were you notified that you had been selected?

I got a phone call and he said I had have made it to casting. The next day he called again and I said "Why are you asking me all this? Did I make it to the show?" He told me, "YES, silly,I told you this yesterday. No wonder you didn't sound excited." I started screaming so much that Anthony almost got into a car accident.

What did you do to celebrate?

I wasn't allowed to tell many people, so I only told my sister and mother. They were more excited than I was.

What did you think of Tyra?

It was amazing to meet her. She's much taller and more beautiful than she is on TV.

Make sure you watch the show and root for Sundai Love!
