“What Happens If a Shin Has to Poop In the Middle of the Night” and Other Interesting On-goings Inside the Shins Tour Bus
Everyone’s favorite America’s Next Top Model alumni, super model blogger Elyse Sewell, recently met up with her boyfriend Marty Crandall of The Shins on their tour stops in Seattle and Vancouver. In a blog entry this week, Elyse answers a reader’s question regarding this photo:

“But what happens if a Shin has to poop in the middle of the night?”
Marty’s answer via Elyse:
You have a fucking horrible night.
But wait, there’s more…
You can go up and find out if the driver is going to stop soon, then run out at a truck stop.
Elyse also provided an alternate relief plan: “The Shins’ tour manager also advised them that, in a true emergency, you can line the toilet with a plastic bag and shit in the bag. But apparently with a little foresight it doesn’t have to come to that.”

In related news, Elyse just got a new Mac. She tried out her webcam and posted a video blog in which she shows us all the photos in her go-see book. Not earth-shattering news, but interesting to ANTM freaks.
Listen for the one story she tells about the time a photographer coaxed her into a compromising position and then sneered, “slut”, as he took the photograph:

Elyse isn’t very well known outside of Asia - so she’s a model - yes (one of a million) but hardly a super model. I really don’t see her appeal and I wish she’d give more props to ANTM, because she wouldn’t have the modeling career that she has if it weren’t for the show, of course. Traveling the world and being huge in Asia didn’t just fall in her lap one day. Wouldn’t you like to see her more… thankful? Humble - even? Not from Ms. Sewell.

[...] Since being on ANTM, Elyse has successfully been working as a model, mainly in the Asian markets (because Asians like dark-haired pale, skinny white people?) and from what I can surmise from reading her LiveJournal blog every now and then, her and Marty had an intense on-off relationship for a number of years.
