It's hard to believe that Tyra Banks has been searching for America's Next Top Model for 12 different cycles already. By now, she's perfected the overdramatic, over-exaggerated, incredibly sloooow way of talking with the popular show's contestants, and although some past winners are more successful than others, the show must go on. Well, it's back, and ANTM junkies everywhere are looking forward to tuning in to Cycle 12 tonight at 7 p.m. on The CW.

If you like what you see tonight, or even if you have modeling aspirations that have nothing to do with Miss Banks, you will soon have an opportunity to get your stiletto-clad foot in the door. This Saturday, ANTM is calling all wannabe models in St. Louis. They're casting hopefuls for Cycle 13, but there's a catch this time around; you have to be "short." In all actuality, 5'7" isn't considered that short in the real world, so since that's the tallest you can be to make the cut for the casting call here this weekend, the next season of ANTM promises to be a bit more average.

Date: Saturday, March 7
Time: 8 a.m.
Where: St. Louis College of Health Careers

Missourians have made it onto the show before (Booneville's Sarah Rhoades was on Cycle 5), so good luck to any ladies headed to the casting call.
