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,

Washington DC: Both applicants must be at least 18 years old to obtain a marriage license. Instead of calling it 'gay marriage' why not call it 'gay mariage' spelled and pronounced the way French people spell and pronounce it (like mah-ree-azh but with a funny r). I am also willing to conduct a workshop at your church. Actually, it was very important that the marriage was witnessed. It doesn't look that hard, but I'm going to have a problem if I try to do the LH without looking.

Dear Tyra
Hi Tyra are really weird twins.We just turned 13 on 2/07.We like talking about you and we can't stop send ing you e-mails.We just don't know how to describe ourselves,all we can say is that we're tall,we're identical,long brownish black hair but not that long light skinned,we're black and we're proud (black don't crack)and people think we're coloureds(people who are black that speak Afrikaans and come from the khoisans)but we're not.Oh as we said we are weird, we're girls who don't fight but always argue and like 5 min after we argued we laugh and start talking to each other again and we always fight for your pics when someone has them.Our 2,4,6th grade teahers say they've got a twin sister and sometimes we think their lieyin'and when we are in school,in shops actually anywere people are like staring at us asking are we twins and we are like yes or the other one would say they're twins and the other one saying yes they're twins,wondering what it would be like being twins.
When they ask our mom "are we twins"? our mom says yes they ask "how do you know them"? she says properly,but it was dificult when the were yonger and she always says that we're one person.And sometimes I feel like I'm her and she feels like she's me.And we love each other very much.Here in South Africa it's hard to understand each other because there are too many languages.Anyways we'll try and send you our baby pictures and nows pictures:-)
love
Grace and Christine

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
