MESSAGE FROM TYRA: What's Up with the Vaseline?
Hi Everybody,
I had a ball giving away that bejeweled VASELINE on the show! I really have used it since I was a little girl, and my mom is addicted to it too. I hope you all got my joke when I was acting all crazy. I was acting all high energy and super excited about the VASELINE giveaway because I was spoofing the time Oprah gave away cars on her show a few years ago. In fact, I actually studied that Oprah episode and copied her body movements and phrases she used, exactly like she did them. But a spoof wouldn't be a spoof without a little (or a lot) of exaggeration, so I had to be over the top with it. If you noticed, we put my VASELINE jar on a key chain to push the Oprah car spoof up one extra notch. It was soooooo much fun. I made sure my office called Oprah's office to make sure they knew it was all in fun. I love Oprah, and she has a great sense of humor and I wanted to make sure she knew the spoof was all in love. She's my idol. I actually pay MAJOR homage to Oprah on “America's Next Top Model” this season. It’s coming up so you have to watch “Top Model” to see what I do. It's a lot of love, mixed with a lil’ bit of spoof, done in that campy way we do things on “Top Model.”
But getting back to the Vaseline. Years ago, Vaseline heard I was a fan of the product, and they sent me a bling bling jar of the product. I loved that hot little jar of Vaseline and wanted to share that with my audience. Each jar I gave to the studio audience was worth $100. I know that's a whole lotta money for some Vaseline, but it's because they were all hand beaded with Swarovski crystals. But underneath all that bling is just a regular jar of Vaseline that you can get at the drugstore or in your own medicine cabinet. I have been reading your messages and a lot of you are concerned that putting Vaseline on your face is not the best thing to do. I have very dry skin, so Vaseline is great for the skin on my face. But if you have oily or acne prone skin, you should probably keep the 'LINE (nickname for Vaseline - pronounced "LEENE") off of your face.
Today, my feet were really ashy, and I put some Vaseline on them before I put my socks on. I just got home. (I went to the movies today to see CRANK. That movie ROCKED. It was sooooo good. It was really violent though and has some sexual stuff that is too strong for the young’uns out there. So I am NOT recommending that people under 18 years old see it! That Jason Stratham - star of the flick - is one sexy dude.) But anyway, I came home from the movies and took my socks off and my feet were ash free. They were glowing!!! Vaseline came to the rescue!!!
I wanna thank all of you for all of your tips on how to get rid of my rough hands. I am trying your advice. I tried the tip today that one of you gave me that involves baking soda. My hands are soft, Soft, SOFT! I'm going to keep trying the tips. Thanks everybody!!!
Much Love,

hi tyra, i think vaseline is good to use as a layer ontop of moisturizer, to lock moisture. but not on its own. i find olive oil & aloe is best :) luv u, luv ur show!!

Hey guys..
thought I would let you know, my derm TOLD me to slather vaseline all over my face at night (acne prone) as it acts like a vaccuum and sucks all the dirt out of your pores, as well as protects your face from bacteria! I must say, I thought he was insane, butI did it and it took the acne away...
Odd fact for you !!

Hi Tyra!
I unfortunately don't get to watch your talk show much, but I watch ANTM religiously.
I myself am a photographer, and when I saw the episode of ANTM where you applied Vaseline to the girls over their make-up...WOW....genius!
I've always been a fan of B&W photography especially when it comes to the more high fashion shots..shows more depth and dramaticism in my opinion, but that was a truly beautiful photo shoot.
Thank You!
Dawn

Hey Tyra...I was just wondering...you are a beautiful person and i love your show. I want to be a model and i've wanted to be one all my life. However, any time i tell anyone that i get the same comment..."what, you're way to short to be a model." I feel like i can be short and stunning. Why is it that everyone thinks in order to be beautiful you have to be blonde, skinny, and tall? I was just wondering how you overcame all of the negitive to get where you are today. You are my inspiration to keep trying.
THANK YOU

At 9pm her head started hurt like crazy.My dad and I started getting worried I was going 2 call 911 but she said she's fine, but I knew in my heart she wasn't fine.My mom and I are very close so when she's feeling bad it hurts me and when I feel bad it hurts her.So I didn't call the 911 and I was wondering if that was a good decision or not.If some bad happens 2 my mommy 4 not calling the 911.I'll regret it 4 the rest of my life,tyra.I LUV MY MOMMY I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO IF I DIDN'T HAVE HER IN MY LIFE.Thanx 4 listening tyra.BY da way I don't have a computer at home so I go 2 the library 2 check my emails.So if I don't email u right away, I'm sorry.I'm 15 years old and I'm in the 10th grade.My B'day is 6/14.Bye tyra luv ya.

Hi, Tyra!
Love your show. Love your great attitude. You are really a doll.
BUT...I just wanted to say... You might want to check out what Vaseline/Petroleum Jelly is made of. Its a by-product of crude oil, the same stuff we put in our cars to make them run smoothly. When this type of ingredient is put on the body's largest organ, it is really detrimental to your health! Pregnant women should especially steer clear of this. I'm really, really concerned with the health issues of American women and how many problems can be directly linked to the various issues in the cosmetic industry.
Petroleum is derived from the same roots as Mineral Oil... the NUMBER TWO cause of WRINKLES.... second to only the sun!
I'm just worried for all the people who are using these products every day. Please consider looking into the Vaseline ingredients and what it really does for the skin and your internal organs..... love ya, Tyra.....
