It's almost here! America's Next Top Model Cycle 13... shorties-style! And the CW is gearing up for a season "full of firsts," including the first Episode 1 "Ty-over." What's a Ty-over, you ask? Watch the promo to find out...

After the jump, a larger version of this new group shot of the 14 newest ANTM shorties in their short shorts.

From left: Sundai, Nicole, Laura, Erin, Lulu, Jennifer, Brittany, Courtney, Bianca, Rae, Kara, Ashley, Rachel, and Lisa.

(I totally just did that roll call without even looking up their names! I GOT this! So now you know who to trust when you look for your ANTM recaps in a couple weeks. And that I am sort of pathetic.) But anyway... here's the promo!
