MESSAGE FROM TYRA: It's Shocking to See What Women Will Do to Become Models!
I'm listening to Sade’s song, “King of Sorrow,” right now. This song always puts me in such a relaxed, but kinda sad mood. I'm not really even sure what Sade is specifically singing about in this song. She sings:
I'm crying everyone's tears
All of these remnants of joy and disaster
What am I supposed to do?
I want to cook you a soup that warms your soul
But nothing will change, nothing will change at all
Just another day.
Nothing's any good
I wonder if this grief will ever let me go?
I feel like I am the king of sorrow
I know Sade speaks of pain in the song, but I wonder why she chose to use the word "King" instead of "Queen." Can any of you help me break down this song???
The other day I did an undercover investigation on modeling scams. This Sade song is making me think about that day. It was so saddening to me. So many women want to be models and will do anything to get even a glimpse of the dream. I have said so many times that you do NOT have to pay to be a model. I have said so many times to try and remain in safe situations on your quest for a modeling career. Many girls have told me they actually heard me say this, but they still choose NOT to listen to these warnings. They want to be models and have said they don't care about the warnings; they'll do anything, even putting their lives in danger, to model. Anything at all...
I have found that a lot of young women desperate to enter the modeling industry have low self-esteem. Many of them have told me they believe if they get into an industry where people compliment their looks on a constant basis, this will cure all of their pain. That is why so many of these girls are perfect prey for evil scam artists trying to take advantage of them. These con artists know about these girls, and the common thread of low self-esteem that runs through many of them. They know that all they have to do is tell a girl she’s pretty, beautiful or sexy, and the girl becomes putty in these monsters’ hands.
Getting back to what I witnessed firsthand that day. I went undercover to examine this scam epidemic. What I saw was mind-boggling. I couldn't believe it. I have heard tons of stories from women, but never saw it first hand. I felt like I was watching a movie, but I was experiencing real life! This was one of the most awkward and disturbing undercover investigations I have done. These impressionable girls just want a chance -- a chance at a dream. Maybe a chance to prove someone wrong who said they'd be nothing. Or maybe a chance to be loved by others, because they may not love themselves. But, sometimes the reasons girls go too far in the wrong direction is simply because they do not have the correct information to steer them in the right direction. I hope I get thru to them. They are all precious jewels with a dream. Unfortunately, it's a dream that could end up a nightmare.
That brings me back to Sade and the "The King of Sorrow." Sade sings, “I suppose I could, just walk away." This line of lyrics makes me think about my situation with these young women with modeling dreams. I could just say I have lived my modeling dreams, and turn my head away from the negative things that girls today are going through. But NO! I feel it is my responsibility to get the message out there about the right and the wrong ways to become a model. I have been in the fashion industry for over half my life. I have years and years of experience and intend to pay it forward by helping young girls that need major guidance.
This show on modeling scams airs tomorrow (Thursday, November 2nd). You have to tell me what you think about it after you watch it. I wonder if it will make you feel as sad as it made me feel. Sometimes I think like Sade in the "King of Sorrow" and say to myself, "But nothing will change, nothing will change at all." But I snap back to reality and wake up and say that we all have the power to make changes. Without struggle, there is no progress. My mission in life is to save girls from putting themselves in harm's way. It could be that they want to model at any cost, or stay with an abusive boyfriend at any cost. Whatever women are struggling with is important to me. I want to write my own lyrics to "King of Sorrow"… ”Something WILL change, something WILL change, I know!"
I love you all and am sending massive amounts of support to all of you with whatever you may be struggling through.
Much luv,

Hey Tyra,
I love you and your show!
You are my role model and it would be so amazing for you to give me a personal email!
Although, I was wondering, do you have any lip accessory tips for a fair skinned girl with already red lips? I'd like to know how to make them appear thicker and less dry. Thanks!
Love,
Holly

Hi Tyra-
My daughter (almost 8) and I watched ANTM and I absolutely fell in love with you on that show. Your constant reminder that you dont have to be a size 0 to be a model really helped more than you think. I used to model here and there, I have recently had my 3rd child and definetly not back to my pre baby weight. My daughter has over the years watched and learned my behavior and it pains me to say that she was under the impression that you had to look a certain way to be accepted and liked. She would constantly ask if her thighs were to big or her belly hung over her jeans too much. At almost 8 she only weighs maybe 70 which from what I have read is average but shes also very tall for her age so to me she looks very slim. I know it has a lot to do with me, her watching and hearing me to try to be thin but it I told her it was personal, that I wasnt trying to fit in. I was just uncomfortable with the way I looked, it had nothing to do with others opinion of me. After watching ANTM and your show, she sees how real you are and how silly at times you are and that you are none the less a real person. That not all models are these stick figures and robots. Your personality is one of a kind and definetly shines through and she has embraced it better than I could have ever hoped. Just watching your show and hearing you say it here and there that its ok to be who you are has really opened her eyes to not only change how she feels about herself but I believe she is more accepting of others. You are an inspiration and I adore everything you stand for. Just watching your show, the way you talk to people, your silly comments, funny faces, I feel like I am watching a close personal friend. I just wanted to thank you for all that you do!!!
With love from Michigan!!

hey tyra,
Isnt it just a shame wat people do to become models. my dream is to become a model. I have always been put down by my family because they always say that my sister looks like a model because she is so skinny. just because ur skinny doesnt make u a model. alot of girls out there puke to become skinny just to become a model. if u really want to become a model go for your dream dontt let any one n i mean ANY one put u down, not even your family

Dear Tyra,
I am a 10 year old girl who is very bright.I hope to one day become a singer.I know you probably get a billion of these messages a day but really, hear me out.I am always being told to stay in school.But all I want to do is sing.I am also struggling in life.A lot of my house bills aren't paid.I live in Massachussetts with no gas.I just got my phone tv and internet on and we can barely get food on the table.My family has very private issues.I want to gro up and get a great job to be able to pay everything and help my family.I want to feel important.And I think that singing is a career that you can have as a young aged girl or person.So I rather get a job no then stay struggling and get a job much later in life.
Sincerely,
Confused,Irritated, and Alone

Tyra, what does a young girl have to do to get into modeling? I have to be noticed by someone. My mother signed me up for a modeling agency, John Casablancas, but they charged so much money for the lessons, and it all seemed like a rip-off. My mother doesn't know how to get me into the modeling industry, but she said in order to get noticed, you have to put yourself out there, by joining plays. I don't know if I can act, I might no be that good of an actress, I want to model. Tyra, you're trying to help people by running this show, so people know how to achieve their dreams. I just turned thirteen, I'm tall, skinny and willing to put myself on the spot. I don't want to be scammed and throw away money to a fake industry. After one lesson for the modeling training, my mother canceled the check and knew she shouldn't risk it. Can you help young girls like me to get into this business? Please help.

Hello my name is Minyoung, but everyone calls me Min or minnie. I am 17 years old and i have got into the modeling industry about 6 months ago.I've noticed RACE plays a big part in fashion because when i went to open calls for Elite,IMG,and other big agencies in new york all they do is take a one quick look at you and go ok "NO". I know i'm still young and have many years to take forth my modeling career. But it seems to me that its really hard for me to come out on top as an ASIAN model.On top of that i'm trying to make it on my own without my parents help and its really hard...I'm going to school,working part time at an italian resturant,going to church 3 times a week, and try to go to TAEKWONDO 2 times a week, and on top of all this IM TRYING SO HARD TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN THE MODELING INTDUSTRY even with my dad always telling me quit MODLEING out of his anger and probly because his worried about me. This really makes me upset and really brings down my dream to become a model.I find my self crying a lot because of all this stress...I really dont know how to just COME OUT AND MAKE PEOPLE NOTICE ME IN THE MODELING INDUSTRY!!!PLEASE HELP ME!

Hi Miss Tyra,
I am a regular watcher of you show and America's Next Top Model. I am only 15, but I have heard you say that you should not have to pay to be a model. My younger sister tryed out for Model Productions in the mall. They asked my mom for $150 They say that only 450 out of 8,000 people make it but i have a hard time beleiving them.I don't think that it is real for a few reasons.
1.)Children were working as the people who helped everyone.
2.) almost everyone made the cut only 2 people did not.
3.) Everything they had was in black and white and looked fake.
4.) It did not look like they made their flyers like a model company. I could have made the same thing on my computer.
5.) There judging was very unprofessional and done by a teenager and another woman.
I know my mom does not have a lot of money and i really don't want her to waste it on this. Please tell me if you know anything about this company it would really save my mom a lot of money.

hi tyra, my name is komeka and i was wondering if those modeling agencies that come in the mall are for real when they choose people to compete for a contract and is it neccessary to pay a 150.00 sponsor fee. My daughter like many others wants to be a model for her age she is already like 5'0 so definatley she has the height and beauty but i watch your show and i've heard you say if an agency believes in your talent they will put forth the finances for your photoshoot. My husband and I thought maybe it was a scam so we just left but there were many people lining to pay the fee. I am not an expert on what it takes to be a model but i can tell you some of the people chosen definately were not in the running to be one of America's Next Top Models!!! The company is called model productions and they have a website modelproductions.com can you give many any advice i would really appreciate it. Thanks and keep doing what you are doing.
Sincerely, Komeka

How do you come up with each and every persons new styles?....I'm acutally more curious to know that if I was one of your contestants what kind of Makeove would you give me?...

Hello Tyra my name is Sunshine and im 16. Ive been watching your show American Next Top Model since the beginning. You've inspired me to become interested in modeling but i dont know where to start off at. An not just that for me being short i dont think that would help. Anyway the reason why im writing this is i was watching you show to night and wondered why not do a American Next Teen Model or something like that since its kids are age who watch your show. I hope you consider this because if you descide to do a show like that i would love to be on it im such a fan of you since u were on the Fresh Prince. Well bye. you can contact me on myspace. ~~Sunshine~~

Tyra,
You are my biggest role model I watch ANTM like it is my religion and I'm going to church I refuse to miss an episode. I have wanted to model since I was 13 I got accepted into a modeling school but my mom was a single mother and could not afford it and I thought that was my only way to become a model. Now I'm 22 yrs old and in the United States Army but I really deep down want to at least try to model. I have developed now into my womanly curves I'm 5'9 and I weigh 161 pounds I have a tiny waist but I have a hips and booty and now I feel fat I try not to lower my self esteem anymore because I look at you when you wore your red one piece with your weight on it and I say how beautiful you are and how dare they call her fat when I'm about the same weight. I love you so much and I love your shows....I plan to come to a taping of the tyra show I would love to meet you but I would be so shy.....
luv ya

I need some advice desperately! My family and friends keep begging me to try out for Americas Next Top Model but the only type of modeling Ive ever done is for high school fashion shows, I dont know what to do. Please Help! ~Niki~

Hello Tyra,
I'm a mother of a 13year old and have been looking into putting my daughter into modeling. Since she was a little baby, many people friend and strangers alike have told me to put her into modeling, but I never did only because for one thing I was scared , I didnt know who to trust, and secondly I wanted her to have a solid foundation with school. She currently is doing well in school, she has maintained A-B honor roll and she wants to try to break into the business. Can you please help me locate a good modeling agency?
Thank you for caring.
PS(They recently asked her if she was on America's Top Model and she said, she's working on it.)

Hi Tyra
For me living South Africa is hard and sad...
Firstly it is becuase we are a third world country and growing up in so much crime, racist and poor comunity makes me depressed.
Me and my friends love your show and we will someday whatch you live! If it is the last thing we do!
Whatching your show gives me hope that someday I will be a person too that can make his own choces in life! If I could move to America now I would. Living in Africa is bad!!! Yes we have animals and stuff but we don't have a dream...
Many people is dieing of HIV and AIDS, people we know! But I must thank GOD that I and still heatly.
Tyra you are a insperation to a lot of young South Africans and may GOD bless you and all the people in America!

I've always wanted to become a model, but at the age of 15 I got pregnat. When I found out that I was going to be a mom at the age of 16 I thought my dream was over and I had to let it go, but I now know that I dont have to give up my dream, if anything its making me work even harder for what I want.

Dear Tyra,
I'm a teen model and it's hard for me, because I'm bigger then the other models I work with. I feel so fat and ugle, but yet I really love the job. I hear about all the young girls not eatting and I don't wait to turn to that. I've seen almost all of your shows, but I have yet to see something that would really help me. Is there anything that would help me lose some weight so I can fell better about my self?

Hi Tyra
My name is Monique and im 19 years old and u know how you say follow your dream, well my dream is to be a model. I cant be that because not everybody look for short girls. It would be wonderful if you let me know anything about anyone that model short women? And im only 5"1 !!!!
Posted by: Monique | October 8, 2007 2:29 PM
tyra-
i have been through 3 different modeling agencies trying to become a model. I was with kid biz from when I was 1 to when I was 10. I was with Future Stars for not even a year and they ended up getting sued a year after i quit. Now I am with John Casablancas where I dont even believe I'm going to get as far in life as i want to. I have watched almost every single episode of ANTM that has aired (partially because there has been like a marathon of every season going on on mtv) and i have heard you say it is hard to become a model if your not a certain height. I am 5'2 and have a feeling that that isn't tall enough to become one. Is it possible I could become a model? I have spent every single penny that I had on modeling agencies trying to become a model. With John Casablancas I had to ask my grandpa to pay for me to get into that agency. Being a model has been my lifetime dream and I have tried almost everything to become the model i want to be but nothing works. My life isn't the most perfect life my family has no money and we are almost poor. I am having to live with my grandma and I hate it. I want to make a better life for myself. I work hard in school so I can go to a good college and study to become either a massage therapist or lawyer. Modeling is something that I believe will help me create a better life for myself in the future rather than the life i have now. I'm asking for advice Tyra. Please help me :(

Hey Tyra,
First of all let me say that, you are one of my idols. I know you done heard it all from fans, but Tyra let me tell you, I am such a big fan I make my boyfriend watch you too. If it's not your show, it's ANTM! But the real and true reason why I decided to write you is because I want to be a model. I think I have what it takes. I am 20 years old and I have the confidence, personal style, and the unique look that I see you are looking for. The only problem I have is I'm 5''3. I know, I know there's no way in hell that the industry will allow that. I feel like I don't have a chance because of how cut throat the Industry is. I just want some kind of advice, just some "words of wisdom" from the woman who encouraged me to follow my dreams. I have many other interests like; Singing, Writing and Cosmetology. But none of these talents exceed past Modeling. I wish that society would just lower their standards some. I don't think it's fair, that I can watch all these girls, on Top Model that have all this height and no idea how to work it. I am the shortest out of all my siblings, and I am the eldest out of all six. I've had a rough life but I am strong. i haven't let any of the things I have gone trough stop me. I know the prompt was "what some women would do to become a model," I will break barriers. I want to become the shortest Top Model. Maybe girls all around the world can step up and go for it as well. You have always taught me to have hope Tyra, so that's what I am doing. I am showing you that there are women all around the world that feel the same way I do. I feel like it is going to be many challenges there, but I want to at least try. Thank you Tyra for everything you have taught me, the more I realize that I don't really know, the more I want to get over my fear of flying and come see you. You are so open with everything. I know you are that way because it is the way that you stay strong. Out of all the things the industry does to break you you always succeed. You make me realize I can do anything, so Thank You again, for everything.

Hi Tyra,
I have a quick question. How old do you think is too old to start modeling? I have considered modeling in the past, but had some set-backs. I am now 26, do you think I am too old for the industry? Thank you.

Hi Tyra,
I just want to say that I love your show and I just want to say that I want to be a model just like you were. I fell that it is total rediculous that these women are killing themselves to be super thin models. I feel that I don't need to be super skinny to get the job, but a healthy weight so I can suceed.

Hey tyra!
ur so awsome and so pretty. i love your show! OMG! last time i went to an acting/ modeling ajency for teens and well, i got in. They said that my mom would have to pay 2,000$ for each kid (my sister and i). my mom was really shoked. My mom looked up the agency (isnt internet gr8!) and she saw all the complaints about scams. I was really sad be cuz i would love to be a model and my sister really wants to act. i'm glad that we didnt pay. Do you know any good agencies that don't ask for all this money? (preferably in canada) ive been asked to be a model b 4 when i was like 11 but that was a while back and in new york. xox i love ya!

Hey Tyra
Love your show really helps me and some prblems i have. I always wanted to be a model and i have a cousin how is wanting to design (by the way he is amazing at what he does) he says i have to look of a model but i have a problem with my body cause i have the "family curse" and that is the love handles, tried everthing but they are alwas there and it brings me down when i go and do clothes cause they im a size 9 or 10 depending on the store and style but the love handles just make it look so bad and that i have pants that dont fit. If you can just get back to me that would be great, and hoping to help my cousin with his desinging carrer. Thanks and love ya

hello
well i read your letter and now i can see how dangerous it can be to be looking for an agency and not knowing which one. i do want to be a model and a designer myself so i have to take your tips in consideration. since you have been telling us all the time how to see who can and will rip you off i can see how many bad people are actually doing this to people. i'm a teen and i love what you are doing as a role model and i love you so much!! you are one of my inspirations!
keep doing what you are doing because it has gotten me more aware on the dangers out in the real world. i'll write to you later.
bye bye

Hi Tyra,
I've never been big into talk shows but your show touches me like no other one does. I've been a struggling model fo about a year now(33,25,35.5 5"7.5) I've been through the scams(schools,conventions) been the # 1 student and top call back girl at both conventions some agencies included Elite,IMG,Next,Trump, all these agencies I spnd all this money to see them and then they say I don't have the right look(2 days afer seeing me before I spent it to see them again) Everyone wants to be skinnier or have better skin, but what seperates people are the ones who hurt themselves to achieve it and the ones who embrace it like you. I finally learned(the hard way) that you don't need money or a stick figure to get an agency. I finally have a 1yrcontract with Icon Models(wondering if you have heard of it and or could tell me anything about it I may not know) and it feels like all my hard work, tears, and persistance is finally paying off. The one thing I still can't get over is that it seems everywhere thinks nudity is fashion. WHOLE POINT OF THIS LETTER.
I know you and most models do nudity(ANTM) but when and how is it appropriate?
Thanks for not being one of those great DUI,jail droned "role models" that seem to be over populating the REAL role models out there.
P.S I know your busy but is there anyway I could send you a few of my portfolio shots and have your honest opinion. if not there also here. www.myspace.com/sugars_death
Thank you,
~Ashley~

haye tyra ,
i watched your show about the girls that starved themselves to death to be skinny & ive actually been trying to loose weigh for the past 2 YEARS ! noting seems to work & ive thort about sticking my hand down my throat but couldnt hurt myself ! i really want to loose weight yet i like to eat ALL the time :( can you HELP? im 16 years of age & other girls at school are so much thinner & preetier !
Posted by: Mariiam | October 3, 2007 7:24 AM
heeeeeeeey tyra, i love love looove the show i know this has nothing to do with what people will do to be models but i heard 'bout yer upcoming show about black models 'cause im almost 12 (yes almost)and the only black models i can name by heart are you,iman and kimora(i know kimora only half black but i think she counts)so anyways i think it would be good to learn about some black sucssesful models oh yeah by the way im probably not gonna be a model because you need fierce cheekbones and i still have babyfat on my cheeks and i dont think you can loose that(ahaha)so back to the ACTUAL subject yes i think its very shocking what women will do to become models! like bulimia and anorexia you're my fave model because you let people know they can be pretty without being a size 1 or 2 so like i said you rooooooooock! keep on bein' you p.s. i heard 'bout a new man in your life....go you!!!!
Posted by: aishah | October 2, 2007 9:21 PM
hi tyra! i would just love to thank you for all that your doing and trying to help everyone. Youve helped everybody, including me, and i hope you continue to do so. i got called today saying i got tickets for your show, and i was absolutely extatic, but they then told me that i have to be 18..and im only 15.. is there anyway at all i can get in to see your show? it would be a dream come true.

Dear
Tyra I know this is a little bit off topic, but i know your the only one who can help me. I know the topic is "What will woman do to become models" but it's not just woman who will do anything to become a model. Yeah that rights....i'm a boy, and i really want to become a model. But see i live in Mississippi, and my state is not really known for its fashion. All my life i've wanted to model. But since i was a little boy i have suffered from self esteem problems. I even tried to kill myself because i thought i was not handsome enough for the fashion world. But now Tyra i'm better, i've be getting therapy for the last couple of years and now i'm much better. I have so much drive for this industry..fashion is my life and if i don't get out of Mississippi A.K.A. FASHION HELL. i'm going to go crazy.......Please help me Tyra.

Hey Tyra,Tyra I watch your show all the time. I love americas next top model,and your talk show.One day I wish to be a model also.I wanna be just like you.So I have been in one audition so far.You might be familiar with the school. Its called Johhn Cablancas. i was so happy about it cuz there was so many other girls that auditoned and they pcked me.At first it seemed ok,but then after I got accepted.They askem me and my mother for 400 dollars to start.After that I allready knew that I wouldnt go because my mom has very low income. She's been a single parent for her whole life.Its been really hard tyra. My mom is a hair stylist,she does really grat hair. It's just been a realy hard struggle for us for the last couple of years.Its just been me and her all my life.Tyra I really wanna be a model.
I have the passion for this. Im never gonna give up. IT just gets really hard for me and my mom because we want this so bad.But we dont know where to go,or what direction to go to.I've been everywhere and Tyra and people say yeah she's very beautiful and we thinks she has it. Then they ask us for money that we dont have. Tyra could you please help me or reccomend me to any schools or modeling centers for training in modeling that wont cost me that much money or any money at all.I remember u said on ANTM that if they ask u for money then dont do it. But tyra I dont think that this school is a scam at all. I think they really wanna help me get further in my life. So Tyra please help me, I dont know what to do. Thanks,Love u Tyra!

Hi Tyra! I'm a HUGE fan of yours and I need some advice. My younger sister (20 y/o) is an aspiring model. She's a beautiful girl but not sure where to turn. Any advice?? She's a member of this one model site but some of the emails she gets back from photographers are a bit disturbing to me. When I read these letters, I keep you in mind. You don't pay to be a model and never put urself in danger. I've been trying to "pound" that into her head so she doesn't get any temtations.The phone number I provided you is my sister's number. I'm sure u get plenty of emails as such b/c I've read alot of them on this specific post. Don't want to be a bother, just wondering if you have any advice as a retired professional model on where first-time models can turn to. I want my sister to be safe and not have any chance of getting herself hurt. Thank! Luv you tons!!

dear tyra,
my name is keely and i'm a 15 year old girl who is aspiring to become a model. I understand that it takes a lot of hard work and commitment and I have both of those things. I'm just having a hard time trying to figure out what to do. My mom has my back 100%, but neither of us no what to do. We had a friend of the family take pictures but we didn't know where to send them to. Well what i'm asking is your help and knowledge because you've been there before.
Another thing i was wondering is if you ever gave it any thought as to having a modeling contest for teenagers; since we're not able to do America's Next Top Model.
Thank You,
Keely♥

Some talk shows will be talking about goofy stuff that is so UCK!

Hi Tyra, I enjoy your shows and admire you. Hopefully,you will read this and I will be able to get a response from you regarding modeling scams and being safe. I have the chance to compete for photo shoot in hype hair magazine. It is the 11th annual natural beauty contest. I know you said you should never have to pay to model but for this competition I will need to sell tickets and/or have a sponsorship. If you know anything please let me know and if possible would you sponsor me? This would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Tyra,
I am a headshot photographer and I shoot alot of children starting at age 5 and up. I have noticed that since your shows Top Model and The Tyra Banks Show have been on, children are copying the poses your demostrate on these shows. I am writing to ask that you clarify the diffence between high fashion modeling (poses)for adults and children modeling (poses) for advertisments. I spend alot of time trying to make kids look like kids in photographs. Please do a show to educate young children and parents the difference.
Thank you.

Hi Tyra,
My name is Briana I live in the Midwest (St.Louis), I am 15 years old, I go to Metro Classical High Shcool Academy and I want to become a Supermodel. I would like to be a model because even thouht the industry has a certain type of look models are very different. What I mean by that is things models wear no one would dare try to pull off. Personally, I am an extremely different person, my style, attitude, personality, diet, everything. Recently I went to a model casting in June called XtremeTalent, only to come and find out it was a scam....that put me out of $329. Just last week i went to another casting called ProScout who told us they would send us to chicago to meet all kinds of agencies like elite, Ford, IMG, etc.. They told us the cost was $695 to just go and meet the people. My family who always watches your show told me I should never have to pay to get signed but i figured nothing else in the world is free why should this be. But i looked them up and found out they were a scam so i was glad we didnt pay that money. So i would just like to ask you what can i do to become a model such as yourself.....could you PLEASE help me out Tyra
Thank You for your time,
Briana

Dear Miss Beautiful Tyra
My name is Caroline Polakowska and I come from South Africa, Johannesburg I'm 14 years old and I go to Northcliff High School. I always wanted to be a model but I dont think its possible.In 2005 I had a disease called Anorexia Nervosa and lost half of my boby weight. I'm always compairing myself to other girls and I dont know what to do. I normally refuse to eat food every now and then, but I am scared that it will take over my life if I keep on refusing to eat. It has been 2 years since I haven't changed this life style and I have a much more deeper love for fashion. I've been crying thoughout the night and I'm crying right now and dont know when to stop. I've wanted to kill myself more then I can remember but the only thing that has keept me going is the thought of me becoming a model and being in magazines. I feel hopeless and weak and so tried of crying and sometimes I dont know why God has put me on earth.
Thank you Tyra for reading my message
Love Caroline

ALTHOUGH I'M ONLY 21 I ALREADY REALIZE THE KEY TO LIFE IS BEING POSITIVE! WHETHER YOU LAUGH OR CRY THE CLOCK IS STILL TICKING AND LIFE MUST GO ON. I STRUGGLE WITH LIFE'S UPS AND DOWNS EVERYDAY WITH A SMILE. YOU CAN'T BREAK ME...LIFE CAN'T BREAK ME!!RIGHT NOW IN LIFE I'M STRUGGLING WITH BECOMING A MODEL. I DON'T HAVE PICTURES!! HOW IN THE HELL CAN I EXPECT TO BECOME A MODEL WITHOUT PICTURES? EVERYONE KNOWS IN BUSINESS YOU HAVE TO SPEND MONEY TO MAKE MONEY IN ORDER TO BE SUCCESSFUL. BUT HOW CAN I SPEND SOMETHING I DON'T HAVE? I ASK MYSELF WHY DON'T MY PARENTS SEE WHAT EVERYONE ELSE SEES? I'VE BEEN 5'10 SINCE THE SEVENTH GRADE AND FIERCE SINCE BIRHT! WHY DIDN'T THEY INVEST? THEN I REMEMBER THE KEY:STAY POSITIVE AND KEEP THE FAITH!! SEE YOU GUYS AT THE TOP!!!

Dear Tyra,
I'm at a loss as to what to think anymore. I have struggled with my body ever since I was a little girl and at one point I went from 160 to about 120-ish. I've started gaining weight again and I'm not 5'8 and 154. I spend hours at the gym everyday and it's so frustrating because I am so unhappy about my body. Then I watch America's Next Top Model and it just KILLS me to hear you guys says these girls who weigh 135 are "borderline plus-sized." It makes me feel like a cow, and I'm sure many other girls have the same mentality. So basically even though there has been all of this controversy lately over stick-thin models and how some countries, like Spain, have banned them, girls are still expected to be anorexic in order to be beautiful. And that girl who won Top Model last season, I think she looks horrible. She's disgustingly skinny and I think her speech is horrible, it actually hurts my ears to hear her talk. I also feel like her attitude made her even more unattractive...but that's a separate issue. Please, shed some light on this issue for me.

Hi Tyra!
I'm Lizzie, and I'm turning fifteen on monday the 24th! (of sepetmber) I L-O-V-E your show, I love the topics and how you make it all so viewers can relate to what you're saying.
Anyway, im writing to you, and hopefully you will read this and MAYBE even answer me, because well i have a situation..
here it is: Imm a sophomore in highschool, and everybody thinks I'm anorexic or something cause im small, I'm 5'1.5 ft tall and 87.5 lbs. but I'm really self soncious of my body, and I want to learn how to take gorgeous pictures like you do with ANTM, because those girls are all so beautiful and always look great.. I'm going to buy photoshop.. my REAL questions is, can someone my hieght be america's.. (or canada's) next top model? and how does a person like myself get into modeling?
Thanks a lottt Tyra!
Ohh.. by the way, girrll can you hook me up with one of those digital camera's? i entered the contest but im not really a lucky winner... ever.

THANKSS!

Dear Tyra,
My name is Tayler and I'm 13 years old. I would first like to say that you are amazing. Americas Next Top Model is my favorite show. When I was 7 I saw the movie Lifesize and though that you were so beautiful! I found out all about you including that you are a model, I wanted to be just like you. Since then I have tried to pursue modeling becuase I am very serious about it. Its hard to know if the websites that I look for and companies are real or not. (and now I know even more about it since the episode in your last season) I was wondering how i can tell, and maybe a few names that i could look for?! If you could please write back when you have a chance it would be much appreciated.
P.S.
I am going to New York in June for the first time, for a graduation presant. I was wanting to get tickets to your show but it says on your website that you have to be 18 years or older, is that just to buy the tickets or is that to come and whatch the show?
ex oh ex oh

Hey Tyra! I love your show, by the way. I just turned 16 a few weeks ago. I'm a junior in high school. Ok, so being a model, is it as great as it looks? My "secret" dream is to be a model, and i have had people tell me "oh Sandra you could so be a model you're so gorgeous" but i just don't feel like i could be and i don't think i am that pretty at all. i want to feel pretty but i don't except compliments that well so other people can't really tell me anything like compliments and i accept them i'm always like yeah whatever that's not true. and i want to feel good about myself. and i feel bad when i feel bad about myself when i know there are people with worse problems than me and like i dont have acne im not overweight i just don't feel good about myself. and my best friend is having worse problems with herself and comes to me for advice of what to do but doesn't listen to me. so i feel like i'm not helping anyone. my parents don't put me down or anything like that they think the world of me and vice versa. but i think that the things going on in my life right now that are stressing me out in my family have an effect on how i live my life. like i feel if someone were to look at me they would know all of my issues and so i try not to show any feelings so i'm really sarcastic and i'm just the girl thats there to make people laugh and feel good about themselves but what about me you know and i don't want to sound self-centered or anything like that but its like i feel like im there to cheer everyone else up but who's there to cheer me up you know? and im in theatre and im not really shy but i dont like to be in front of people because i think that they will be like ew she's ugly or anything like that because i have had this girl randomly walk by me in school and go "ew. i hate her" everytime i walk by her and i havent ever met her in my life. so i dont know what to do with anything in my life right now and i dont like to confront issues or anything like that so i leave them be and they drag behind me and weigh me down but i try to ignore it but it gets harder everyday to. i just wanted to know if you have any advice for me. thanks. love sandra

Hey Ms. Tyra!
Okay, so i just turned 18 a couple of weeks ago...but i've been a fan of yours since the begining of time. I really enjoy your show and think that you are an inspiration to many teens and adults everywhere. now, i have a problem...i feel that modeling is what i was meant to do. it's my passion! when i was younger, i always wanted to do some type of modeling, but we were never financially fit for me to do that, yet i had to watch/support my cousin when she began trying to model. she was fortunate enough to have money to be able to get the model experince that i wanted to have. (not trying to sound selfish or anything). but i really feel modeling is my passion. i have always said that i would try out for "America's Next Top Model" when i was old enough. now that i am, i'm wondering if i should considering that i don't quit meet the height requirement! it is something that i really want, but in the back of my mind, i'm wondering if i actually made it in the industry, if anyone would even book me even though i'm not tall enough! it's just a question thats been running through my mind. i'm going to try, i don't want anything to hold me back...but if this is an impossible situation, i would like to know. Thanks Ms. Tyra!!! love ya! -Chelsy...from Texas-

Hey tyra...
Im 18 and have been a fan for a long time, but reading this entry really made me think. you say that girls need to watch out for themselves and learn to model the right way. I guess what im confused about is if this is true why do girls who refuse to model nude on americas next top model always get cut from the show, and in a sense fail at what they want because they stood up for there own feeling of doing whats right. If your goal is to empower women to be strong and do what is right, why should these girls get shot down for taking your own advice? When girls on top model shed all there clothes for photo shoots, dont you think this only makes your young viewers think that it is normal to do such a thing if they want to model, making them more suseptable to doing this for any so called modeling job, therefore sometimes putting themselves in more danger? Maybe there is some explaination that i dont understand, but i think it would be really cool if you could address this so girls dont get such a mixed message. thanks tyra!

Heyy tyra ! =], my name is kelley i am 13 years old , and i have to say i LOVE your show! i love all of the topics you have on the show , and i love how fame dosnt get to you , that you really are just a regular human being just like the rest of us[lol].
I am writing to you because i dont know anyone else to come to . although i am only 13 yrs old , i have a serious desier to become a model/acress , but i dont know how to do it. I always look at casting calls online and most of them are for adults , and the other half you have to pay . My family runs on a low budget , and my mom sacrifices every thing for me and my sister , plus she is a single mom , so it is hard for her to even look at things you have to pay for , which i am sure i am not the only family with this problem. but every time i ask her about a casting call she says no because she cant drive me to any of them , which makes me really sad because i really want to do it .
SOOOOO i want to ask you what do you suggest for a girl like me , with big dreams to acually follow my dream ? and i have an idea but i dont really think its for the talk show . you see i was thinking that mabye you would consider to have a show like Americas next top model, but for children or teens . mabye called Americas next top child model or americas next child model ! i know its kinda silly , but im just putting the idea out there!
i love you soo much and admire you !! please write back i know i have a tough question to answer put i have faith in you .
thank you so much
bye =] kelley

Dear Tyra,
I'm 14 years old (turning 15 in October) and I'm very interested in modeling. However, I don't know which kind of agencies to try and be apart of. So far, in my area, there's Elite Modeling for Atlanta. Yay Atlanta =D
Back to topic, I'm wondering about any other reliable agencies to look at in Atlanta. I did do some research but I got stuck at the portfolio. WHICH reminds me of a great idea for a new Topic for the next show!!! =D
I want to know about reliable agencies and cheaper, decent photos for a portfolio. It's kind of hard on us now mainly because I live in a 5 persons house. Each sibling which is two others including me as third are doing a lot of things that cost a deal of money so the pictures for a portfolio, I researched on, is around...hmmm...$300-$500 and $20-$30 for enlarging creative prints. Yeah, that's very expensive which puts me at a sad stump. So I was wondering if this information is true or not.
I've been to a few phony open calls. The ones that say they scout for new talent and get us ready and available for agencies out there. They were fake because they wanted us to pay over a thousand dollars for modeling classes and such. This frustrates me so much because I know my mama will not pay over a thousand dollars for modeling classes when you really don't need experience to model. Am I right? I hope I am, correct me if I'm wrong.
I've been interested in modeling since the end of my 4th grade year when a parent asked me have I ever thought of that since everyone told me I should be a basketball player because of my height. So when you constantly have people say you should play basketball I get annoyed. Don't get me wrong, I tried it but it wasn'T for me. I don't like that competitive contact. Getting hit by balls and people shoving you and depending on your height scarred me. Hahahaha. Truth be told I NEVER scored a basket. Hahahahaha. Back on topic (I'm sorry, it excites me that I'm actually able to talk to Tyra Banks!) Modeling looks fun, exciting, something that will not make me bored. I will admit...uhm...taking pictures is fun! I love to take pictures, expecially on my myspace page! I try not to take and post so much BUT, I do edit pics and then keep some natural. I don't wear make up. The only kind of make up I wear is lip gloss. No lie!!! However, what should I know about make up? I'm pretty sure I need to study on my make up skills.
Let me close this, I hope you will read it and reply (PLEASE DO REPLY AND HELP A SISTAH OUT!!!). I don't want to keep you from reading other comments. =]
I'm such a teenager. Smileys and such.
ANYWAYS, thank you for your time Ms. Tyra Banks!!! I really do appreciate it. Write back soon!!!
Love Raven

Posted by: Rebecca | September 17, 2007 2:21 PM
Tyra, what i think about women and the shocking things they do to become models is very intrigueing...but my comment to crazy, is what i just heard on your show today, september 17th. The three women who have had to stripp bare one of them affected me deeply the young lady with the babyfather that stabbed her son in the heart and killed himself that scared me. On another note..I know that specific young women should reviatize her life and know next time who she is geting invoved with! Keep both hands on 10 and 2 on the freeway of life especially on the streets where their is traffic lights. lol, nah all though it is not funny she is lucky to be alive to clearly he wanted to hurt her deeply enough to leave her living to know what he has done to her. For the models I think that these women or aspiring should take a certain step to be sure about the consequenses of your actions and choices a decision made shouldnt be hesitated. If modeling is something you want to do then submit all you have to it! Dont wait until you turn it into a imature child tag game go for the "gusto" u have nothing to lose its been done before. I read somewhere that if you duck your head under water and come up for air you might reach to the another side of breathing deeply.

Tyra, Im a 17 year old girl who has been through a lot in life. The thing that makes me happiest is being infront of a camera snapping pictures. I have done PhotoShoots and Pageants, but what I have always wanted is to become a Model. But the agency that is trying to make me a member of is way too expensive, I always thought Models were the ones getting paid- not the agencies. And now my parents are going through a divorce and say that they can't pay for the Modeling Agency. What should I do?
Posted by: Amy | September 17, 2007 7:12 AM
Dear Tyra,
Recently, my boyfriend posted his picture on a site for modeling/acting. Today on the 15th of September, he received a callback, and was very excited about it. You see we are constantly strapped for money, so the phone call lifted his spirits.
Anyway, They told him they were interested in him, how he was eligible for about 400 castings that were looking for his body type, and complexion and so on. Everything seem to be going good until they started asking for money over the phone. Keep in mind we have never met these people who are supposedly located in L.A.. Even though they said they wanted to set-up a meeting, they still asked for the money in advance, on the spot, and very persistently, I might add. As i have already explained we are a little tight on cash this month. So he asked her if he could pay possibly on the first of the month. She just kept asking him to find some place to get the money. Now the whole time they were talking I was listenening in. To me it sounded really suspicious. I would like to know if maybe you can tell me what should we expect from a legit talent agency.. The questions they might ask. Just to dispute the fake one's from the real ones. I care for my boyfriend and wouldn't want to see him get caught out there like the girls you had on your show. I'm not sure if you read these comments, but I would really appreciate it if you could send me a response. Thank You.

Hi Tyra
You are such an inspiration. I did a little bit of modeling when I was younger but I do pageants now. & I love modeling, it is so much fun. You are so beautiful and fierce! I watch the Tyra Show all the time and I also watch ANTM every cycle. I never miss an episode. I'm so excited for the next cycle! Tyra, you are amazing!
Sincerely,
Torri

HI Tyra I am real big fan of you and your show and even more because you moved to New York ! I'm kinda skinny for my age so people like to talk a lot that and I am one of the skinnys people in my family. they want me to try modeling but I am shy to show of my body

Hey, Tyra you are an inspiration!! I just have a quick question I know you have said many times that one should not pay to model, everyone has got to start somewhere right? I am being asked to pay $350, to do a photoshoot, and then my photos will be distributed to different agencies, through that persons connections. I was told the fee pays for hair/makeup, the photographers time and a copy of my glossy shots, does this seem worth it or should I pass?
Thank you, and keep doing you! You are a beautiful person,
Shanika

hey tyra.. well recently i went to a call out for models and actors called proscout, they gave me a 30 second interview and told me that i had what they were looking for. their plan is for us to pay them $695, for them to bring out all the agents and agencies like img , elite, wilhelmina,and many more to us in a invitation only event. i dont know if its a scam or not ..i was wondering if you could answer my questions it would help a lot .. thank you tyra

tyra,
i have always wanted to be a model, and i still want to be one. i am almost 13 and i have done very little modeling (nothing serious.) i live in Missouri and i just dont know where to 'really' start, do you have any suggestions? i have always been told that i should be a model because i am skinny and long-legged. i just dont have a clue on where to start... i REEEEEEEEEEEALLY want to be a model and i would like to start as young as possible.
P.S.
Tyra, please give me your thoughts... you are an INSPIRATION!!!
P.S.S.
i LOOOOOVE your shows. Please give me your thoughts...
luv,
Claudia

Tyra,
I've wanted to be a model since I was very little. I'm almost 13 and I still want to be a model. I've done a little modeling, but nothing serious. Everyone says that I should be a model because I have long legs and I am thin. I want to start young as a model, where should I start?
P.S.
Girl, you are beautiful!!!
Luv,
Claudia

ms. tyra-
ever since i was little, i have loved art, and fashion, and would always design and make things. i love the thought of modeling, but i dont think i would make it very far because im not stick thin, and i have a huge nose. ( i like my nose, but it IS big) but i would really love to be a fashion designer. my family and friends always tell me that i should pursue it, but i dont know how to get started. i have always designed and sewn clothes ever since i was little, but i never thought that i might be able to do it as a career. even though im not a model, you have inspired me so much. i am going to follow my dreams and keep designing. i think you are a wonderful person, and i hope that you write me back.
love bennett

Hi Tyra,
I was wondering if you coluld offer any advise or steer me in the right direction concerning my daughter, Victoria. Victoria just turned 4 in late July 2007 and has really show an interest in modeling. She loves to watch any shows about fashion and models. She pretends to walk the catwalk and always wants mom or dad to do a photo shoot with her. So my question is how would I go about introducing her to modeling and print advertising? Any thng to look for or look out for? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

I was just reading about Brittney Spears' performance at the VMA's and how newspapers commeneted on her "flab." This is why people are killing themselves to be thin!! Brittney Spears looks pretty damn good!! No she isn't as tiny as she used to be, but there is nothing wrong with her body now, and with the media calling her "flabby", how do you they think it is goig to affect the rest of society. This is the wrong idea to send out to society!! We need to be proud of who we are, and if they are going to slam on Brittney, have it be about her performance, not whether she is skinny enough!!

Hey Tyra, first of all i love you and everything that you do. I think you are such an inspiration for all women. I need your help! lol I know it sounds so needy but it's because i just don't know where else to go. Hope i hear from the "Real" you. Keep doing what you do. Much Love!

My daughter is very interested in becoming a model and many agencies have requested her to become part of their company, however they have all asked for money in advance to get her started.I feel she has great potential, I just want to steer her in the right direction. What companies should we look into? Thank you.

Good morning Tyra. My name is Candace but i go by Candy,I am writing this in hopes that you could give me a bit of direction. I caught a portion of your show on leg models (then work called) but i felt you would be perfect to ask. I have been told all my life that I have amazing eyes and that people seem to not be able to get past them when they look at me..they are a very unusual color~almost a chartruse color..and have thought a number of times that i could model them for makeup companies but i have no idea where to begin..I have no doubt that someone would snatch me up...i am a beautiful woman (inside and out) but would like the oppertunity to try this and see where it takes me..I think that if you could see them for yourself you too would think I had the potential and the eyes for this kind of work..I look foraward to hearing from you..I love your show and enjoy the topics you touch on that I feel most stear clear of..I am writing this because I had gotten severly ill and I do not want to die with any regret of not doing things in my life that I have wanted to do...I want to live life with no regrets and I think if I dont even try this path it will be a regret..by the way I am fine now.No regrets!

hi tyra!! its really funny how girls say their weight and height first in their comments. they sound as if they want your attention to be selected on ATNM or something.Anyways, im 14 years old who lives in New Zealand and whenever i watch americas next top model, i always tell the tv,, "Tyra come to New Zealand!! " I think that sometimes its better to at least show yourself to other countries instead of just America. You'd actually be surprised of how many young girls, teens and women look up to you. they are Maori women, asian women and kiwi women.American people are the people we look up to cauz they're all glam and famous. it would be nice if you could help women in other countries as well!! im not just speaking for myself, but from the whole world. Luv you tyra!

Hi Tyra,
I just tried to post this comment on what have you always wanted to do but i keep getting an error so i'm posting it here and hopefully you will get it.
Hi Tyra,
First of all I really love your show! I watch it as much as i can. I am single mom with two kids and my dream ever since I was about 15 was to get breast implants. I have been teased and laughed at ever since I was about 12 years old and i used to tell myself when i get older I am going to get implants when i get bigger. Everything I went through when i was younger took a serious toll on my self-esteem. I still know I'm pretty but I don't like the way I look and need a little boost. I think having breasts would help me to feel better about myself. Everyone I know says I am a beautiful person and I am gorgeous but I don't feel the same. Men love me but I am embarrased when i am with someone new or i go to a department store and try on a shirt and my breast don't even fill in the creases of the shirt. I can't wear all the little cute shirts i see these girls wearing cause i look like a boy!! I swear my breasts are about a negative AA size. I'm not kidding!! Just recently I had saved enough money to get my breast done and was going to have surgery on the 1st of august 2007 until 2 days before my car broke down and it cost alot of money to fix it so I had to use the money i had for my surgery. I could not stop crying. Then to top it all off 2 weeks later i lost my job! I have the worst bad luck in the world!! I also thought having kids would increase my breasts at least a little but it only made them smaller. Tyra Please Help!!! You can contact me at tonya2aucoin@yahoo.com
Thank you and i hope to hear from you!! I hope your life stays wonderful. God Bless You!!

Hi Tyra,
Every since i was a little girl i wanted to also be a model. Kids used to always pick on me and call me ugly or throw ants on me and just be very hateful. Now I am 31 and have two kids and I have went to casting calls here in Denver but they always say i'm too old. Everyone i meet say that i look like I am 21 but the people at the castings know what they are talking about. I went to modeling school when i was 16 and graduated with my diploma but the school never took me to the next level in modeling and when i look back at the pictures they took of me for my portfolio they were pretty terrible to be professional pictures. How does a woman of my age go about getting into the modeling industry? Also my kids are gorgeous and my daughter ecspecially wants to be a model or actress and everyone tells me she should be. My son also wants to be a actor and he is very handsome in a nerdy sort of way. HAHA How do i go about getting them started. I am a single mom and sending them to acting or modeling school is just to expensive for me. Do you have any suggestions? You don't have to worry about my dreams, I just want to know how to help my kids to be what they want to bo and be successful in their lives. I can also send pictures of them and maybe you can tell me if you think they have in chance in either industry. Thank You. Hope to hear from you soon.

People say that I have to lose waight to be a model. And it makes me sick that they would tell a 12 year old that. I thought it was totally wrong to tell my inspiration(Tyra) that she is fat! I would love to be like you, an inspiration to young girls like me.
love yaaaah!!!!

Hi Tyra,
My name is Messina and I am 14 years old. I am biracial with African American, Caucasion, and Native American. People say that I am beautiful. People have said that all my life. But I am very selfconious. People have also pointed out some of (to me) my major flaws. You are my idol, I look up to you. I look at the people around me and were I live and I say "This is exactly what I do not want!" I have ambition. I have to get out of the ghetto, the northside. This isn't the life for Messina Daniels. I want to leave my mark on the world. I want my name to be familar to all. I see how you've succeeded in so many levels. I want that. To me, you are everything that I want. You are proof that I can be successful. I can become a model/actress. I am trying my best right now. I am a freshman and I have to start planning everything out NOW. I hope I can make it. Living on the northside is'nt how I see my self in ten years! That would be terrible. I will succeed. One day you will see my name on the movie screen! In bold letters reading: Messina Daniels! Your idolizer forever,
Messina D.
P.s. thank you for giving me the ambition ;-)

hi tyra darling my name is netisha walsh, 18 years of age. I was born on the 5 of November 1988, under the beautiful sign of scorpio. Well here's my story. While i was attending high school, on the verge of completing, i met a past friend of mine, he had grown up to be such a wonderful young man and i fell completely in love. We started going out together and we were having so much fun, on my 16 bday he treated me like a queen, and i gave him my apple, my virginity, we continued along in the relationship and our parents agreed, i mean we knew each other since we were in diapers,we only went our separate ways in our teenage yrs, but wen i came back it all happened. Right now i'm we have a wonderful little boy together and he's a bundle of joy, we're engaged but right now he's all the way in China studying and i'm home in Dominica with the baby, no we're not married but engaged. Meeting him was one of the best things i've ever done.Also want to say that i'm a big fan of yours and i love you with all my heart, u inspire me in so many ways and gave me courage just by looking at your shows. thank you so much. please reply. you go girl!!!!!!!!

Hi Tyra,
I started watching your show a couple of months ago but I have been watching ANTM since season 1. I'm sorry but I have no clue what your song means but I have a question to ask you. If someone models in another country will it be easier to get a modeling job in the states. I'm 11 and I know its kind of early but I have relatives in the modeling industry in other countries. Also I have had a problem for a while. Im 5'8 which is really tall for my age and I only weigh 98 pounds. My friends think I suffer from anorexia but I don't. If I tell them I don't they won't believe and I'm on the verge of losing my friendship. How do I prove to them I'm not anorexic?
Posted by: Anna | September 5, 2007 5:56 PM
I have always wanted to become a model but all the modeling agencies are way too expencive and i was just wandering if you can help out by sending me some agencies that arent so expencive.I wil never do anything to put my self in harms way just to be a model. If the agencies dont like my body then I wil just take my money somewhere else. I saw your show and anerxiea and I was almost in tears because you a are so beatiful no matter what size you are. I have made fun of my sister about her weigt but I am only doing it so she will try to get healty and so she wont end up 500 pounds and cant move or anything. I really feel bad for the people that are like that but most of them cant help it. I really hope you can help me out. Thanks!!!

Hello Ty Ty,
First off I just want you to know that you and Kimora are both my role models in life. I have a passion for modeling. I am passionate about the whole fashion industry. I love the creativity of the MUA, the hair stylist and designers. I have been thru all the scams of modeling. I do a lot of shows that don't pay and that requires the model to do a rehersal every weekend until the day of the fashion show. We don't even get gas money and some of us have to take off of work. Anyway I have auditioned for your show 8 times. I will be on your show, I am so determined to be on your show ANTM. You will see my face every year, and soon you will know me by my name. I want nothing more than to become Americas Next Top Super Model. I say Supermodel because that is what I am going to be. I want to own my own agaency one day when I am retired as a model. All I ask is that you take a closer look at me and see the passion that is in my eyes. I want this sooo bad. I look at you and see myself and what I could be doing as a prfessional model. So please take time out and give me one more look.
Thanks for being a great role model,
Shalynda McKenzie

hey tyra! i have a question for you...ever since i was in about the 7th grade i've been told how photogenic i am and i never really believed it because my whole life i've been over weight but have lost a lot of the weight and could still use more but i just never considered myself pretty... until one day my mom bought me a camara and i started taking pictures of myself and i absolutely fell inlove with the way i look in pictures and the beauty of photography...and i am obsessed with watching america's next top model because everytime i watch it, it convinces me more and more that, thats something i really wanna do...i want to see my potential because i believe i have so much but i will never be given an opportunity to model because i'm only 5ft...people would just laugh at me when i say i want to model because of how short i am...but i know i have all this potential and talent in modeling and it kills me that even if i do have talent i'm automatically turned down....i went to america's next top model's website to see how to get on the show but you wont even let people under 5'9" apply for a spot...my question for you is why?...i know i have potential and i want to be given a chance to show you and everyone else that says short people can't model, that we can be models and not only good models but great models...i just want a chance to see if i truly can be something great...to be something that i believe in myself in...and if it's not good enough then at least i'll know i tried...please tyra help me..and if theres nothing you can do, then help me to let this dream go...i really hope to get a response from you...you are an amazing and beautiful person inside and out and i admire that
Love,
Bethanni

Heyy Tyra :)
Im ashley, im 12 years old, 5"11, and live in Raliegh, North Carolina. My dream has always been to be a model but theres just one problem for me to get started in a modeling career early. My mom wont let me go to a modeling agency because shes thinks most of the modeling agencies she see's around here are just scams. What do you think I should do? Also, do you think John Casablancas Modeling and Career Centers is a good modeling agency for me to get started in?
Thank you SOOO much for reading :)

This message is for Tyra Banks. Tyra I watch your show and I am impressed that you take the time to give back to so many girls in hopes to make there dreams come true. I think that is wonderful and you make them feel good about who they are.
My name is Donna Close and I have a fifteen year old daughter that stands 5'11" and is very photogenic and to me she is a natural. A scout from Wilamenia Modeling spotted her and we went into there office and they chose her but they wanted to charge me for the porfolio. I am a single working mom who cannot afford a portfolio but I believe that my daughter Shannon would do well.We live in Tempe, Arizona is there anyone that you could refer to us that would actually take a look at my daughter to let us know if she has what it takes this would be like a dream come true for her. She looks up to you as a role model and your input is important.
Thank you for taking the time to review this e-mail.
You may contact me back at this e-mail or call me at (480) 593-8092
Please take a look at the pictures that I have attached and you tell me.
Sincerely , Donna Close

Hi Tyra, my name is Charlee. I am a student at Barbizon's Modeling School. I would like to ask you (well my teacher at modeling school said that high fashion models are 5'9, and wear a size 2-4)is that true. I am 5'81/2 I wear a 5-7. Can I still be a high fashion model?!
Posted by: Charlee J. Ford | September 2, 2007 12:54 PM
Tyra,
You are a great role model.
My name is Mikala. I am seventeen years old. I have been through more things than you can imagine. I have been through molestation and beatings from step-fathers. I have seen and been through so much its hard to believe. The only way I can get away is to try and make myself prettier to hide all of the pain. I am not pretty at all. I get made fun of because I dont have straight teeth. I have gone as far as trying to fix them myself, it was a failure. My family isn't exactly rich, so I can't afford the "cool" clothes. As a young girl everyone complimented my mom on my bright smile, now I don't smile. I go to school and get called snagletooth, and ugly and fat. I am constantly made fun of I come home and cry. Its been like that for years. I watched the movie you stared in with Lindsey Lohan, Life-size and when you said let me see that thousand watt smile, My mom said I used to have one of those. I don't understand how stars like Lindsey,Paris,Brittany, can say they are fat or do things because they have all of that money, if I was in there shoes I would be giving back to the community to those who dont feel beautiful. I know that they have a lot of stress but that still is no way to act. A lot of girls used to look up to them. I have tried so many stupid ways to be like them form not eating to changing my whole appearance. I have hated living for the past eight years or so.There is no way I could ever compare to a model by there looks, the only way is in my heart. How to you overcome ugliness?? Tyra you a one of my role models. My other role model is my mom shes been through so much with me. Hopefully you can tell me something or give me advice to help me feel at least pretty, or hide my teeth. Thanks so much Tyra.
Much Love,
Mikala

Hi Tyra,
I see your shows all the time. You have shows about girls dying trying to be thin. I in the other hand have tried almost everything to gain weight. I'm 30 and have 2 kids 1yr old and a 5yr old. I weigh 98lbs. What do you suggest I do? I don't feel sexy and it's hard for me to let my fiance see me undressed. I know looks isn't everything but I'm the opposite I want to gain weight not lose it. I know that your busy and the last thing is to read someones whining. Thanks for hearing me out and for being the wondeful person that you are inside and out. Tell your mom that I think she is beautiful and so down to earth. She has raised a women for all of us girls to look up too. Talk to you soon. Love Meli

Tyra,
omgsh i watch your show all the time and your my role model! i love how u stick up for womens rights that i even created a group on facebook called Women.Against.Lyrics where me and my friends talked bout how discriminating some of the most popular songs are but we teens just listen to them bc of the beats! well what im asking today has nothing to do with standing up for womens rights but yet how i can follow one of my dreams...modeling. i love being in the cameras focus and i usually catch myself in the mirror posing or walking down my hallway pretending its a cat walk. i asked my friends whay their opioion was on me being a model and i wa surprized somewhat that they all wished me the best of luck and hat i would do great. i was wondering today how would i a 14 yr old from arkansas become a model not only the kinda in front of the camera but the kind you are...role model!
type me back please!
Your biggest fan..Courtney

Dearest Tyra, I've loved u waaay before the Tyra show,waaay before ANTM. I've admired u ever since "Higher Learning". I remember u on the "fresh Prince of Bel Air". I always thought u were the most sickening(most wonderful, and best looking)victora's secret angel ever discovered. When ANTM came out, i was able to see a deeper you. the you that cared for other people and has a compassionate heart. I appreciate the way you allow young women to feel comfortable with themselves and their bodies and learn better how to respect themselves. We, as women sometimes lose our confidence and forget that we have strength from within and given to us by God, that we need to take hold of and use it in our daily lives. You're a beautiful person, inside and out!!! i love you for you and have always anticipated meeting you. just a glimpse of u, i would completely die. I, as a woman, love to look good. i love to stay stylish, and have attention on me. i use your beauty tips to a TEE to improve myself, the application of my makeup, and as well as my wardrobe. (don't be mad, but i often try to copy your style!!!) your hair is flawlwss, and a black girl like me is always dyin to find weave like Tyra's!!!! (that's that thousand dolla weave baby!!!) i love the farrah affect it gives, and the BONE STRAIGHT!!! that smokey eye is everything!!! And also, I love the weight u have gained! a thik sista is what is happinin! u r shaped like a coca cola bottle. My best friend is a gay man and we both enjoy drag queens because they really can "Give it to You"!! when he dresses up, he often immulates you and we both admire in awe your realness and beauty!!! Point blank, Tyra, you're loved by me and many more and I, myself appreciate the the understanding you have for women's needs!! I'm a Chi-Town superstar and mk it known. Just like Tyra, when I walk down my streets, I BRING IT!!! love ya much!! may God continue to bless!!! and thank you!!! (for inspiration!!!)

Dear Tyra,
i think you are a very big inspiration to young black women. You are beautiful,young,and you arnt stick skiny. You show me that anyone any shape skin color of size.Modeling and singing are my most favorite things in the world. i sing everytime i get a shower...all my friends tell me its annoying but i no when i grow up one day i will go far. modeling is also a desire of mine i think b.c of you i think of myself more highly.i love my curves and everything god gave me. im always practicing in the mirror or taking pictures of myself with a camera. Tyra it would mean alot to me if you could write back and comment on what i just told you..and anyone else who reads this
Peace!

Tyra I am one of your greatest fans.But what I don't undersatnd is that when it comes to modeling I don't like the things you do. On ANTM the girls had to take a shoot with no shirts on and then the thing I hate is you are always talking about sluty things you should'nt do but what you made them do was sluty. Do you notice that not all families are gonna be comfortable with what their daughters are doing. I don't like when you make them reveal themselves modeling is'nt about being naked it's about beauty inside and outside out no matter what race or size. O yeah Im 13.

hey tyra,
i'm 18 and my mom is always putting me down about my weight and the way my tummy looks and i'm starting to think that my mom is right. what do i do? i feel like when i wear a two piece swimsuit people are looking at my tummy. Is there an easier way. i do love the shape of my body and all.
Posted by: Lauren | August 31, 2007 1:59 PM
hello tyra, im michelle. i am 17 years old. you have been my ro-model ever since iv seen your show and i choose you to tell my story to. for the last past 4 1/2 years me and my sisters been suffering with out a mother. my mom moved to europe with my step dad and had started a new family and left me and my three sisters behind. my mom would call us every weekend she sounded so depressed and she would tell us that he is abusing her. she wanted to come back home but he would threaten her telling her if she were ever to leave him he would kill her. after my brother was born he left her for a younger woman. my mom wants to come back home but she cant cuz my step dad wants my brother to stay and live there. and my mom regrets leaving me and my sisters and she doesnt want to make that misake again by leaving my brother behind. the last past year she stoped calling. for summer vacation i went to my cousins house in reno i was supposed to stay the whole summer but my aunt pulled me aside in the room and told me i haved to go back home my mom is dying of heart disease. my father told me and my sisters he would take us to see her one last time before she passes. but we never got to it. i dont kno if she is still alive. everynight when i lay to go to sleep i have flash backs of me and my mother when i was a little girl. i wake up with tears running down my cheeks. every birthday when i blew out my candals i would wish to see her face one last time. it hurts me inside to think of her. i would be honnored to be on your show to talk about wat its like going through not having a mother your teenage years. and how it has changed my life

hello tyra,
my name is hailley. I'm 13 and i really want to be a model, but what i hear today about models dieing bacause of the media putting them under pressure to be thin makes me very mad. Or if they even just do it. Im shorter so i could never be a runway model but would like to do adds or something . starving yourself is very wrong and nasty. Tyra .you are one of my role models and so is this man named Alex Evans.You guys are both great models. Im not thin or i dont have the "body" to be a model, so tyra what am i going to do?
love: hailley ♥
p.s i dont no how to e-mail you but my e-mal address is hailleybear_@hotmail.com

To the always beautiful Tyra!,
Hey Tyra, I am a 20 year old female from Mobile AL, I emailed you a month or so about a modeling scam me and 4 other young women got involved with 5000 miles from home in NYC. I want to take this opportunity and E-mail you and tell you thank you for doing this modeling scam show, I see it aired almost a year ago and I just would like to strongly encourage you and your producers to do another one on the same topic.
Today with all types of modeling websites, OMP, Craig's list, Model Mayhem and our next generation young girls coming up that dream of modeling Its going to be very difficult for them in the industry to know if they trust someone and dont know of what scams people can pull on them. They also dont realise that it CAN happen to them and how easily they can be brought on to scams by these web sites. Shoot, I was 19 at the time I went to New York with this man, and still he got away with it with a 19 almost 20 year old who should have known better. Another young woman who was 24 came on our trip to NYC so its not only young girls getting scammed, Its anyone who isnt educated.
Not only do we need to educate our younger generation of girls that want to be models, but their parents as well. Now my parents.. not even the slightest bit behind me on modeling.. they think I should get a real job.. haha.. but to some people its a passion and any door that opens they want to jump even if its fatal. This poor 15 year old girl came with us to New York and her mother actually trusted her daughter with this man. To us its just a lesson learned but I know first hand how it felt to not only be scammed but disrespected by being left in New York City when not only I but my friends and family exspected me to return home safely and get what I paid for. and I want every young girl every young woman and their parents to be educated on his difficult and sometimes faulty industry.. because I know anyone whos instred in modeling watches the tyra show!! :o) not only because you do hit on these issues and teach us other things that have to deal with in our day to day lives but because youre a huge rold model to alot of us girls out there and we thank you so much tyra! keep doing what youre doing girl.. i know it inspires me!
Love always,
Laura

Hi Tyra,
What is some advice you would give a girl like myself on becoming a model??
Posted by: KRYSTAL | August 30, 2007 12:06 PM
Dear Tyra,

Sincerly,
Samantha

Dear Tyra,
I'm from louisville,Ky and I was apart of a modeling scam. I'm so glad you had a show about this, too bad it didn't air before I signed their contract. I hope you do another modeling scam show, I encourage you to do it! Someone needs to take down this 'agency' i tried, but I did sign their contract. The photgrapher/runway coach would send me text message in the middle of the night saying that he had dreams about me. They are so unprofessional. Unfortunatly there is nothing I am able to do, because they were pretty by the books. anyway, your show is great, keep it going!

Dear Tyra,
Hello my name is Natasha,I am 19 years old.
I have read your letter about women who will do anything to be a model and I have also read how you have said not to pay to be a model.Well that is what I have done.I have recently graduated from modeling school.Im pretty sure that you have heard of this school.Barbizon school of modeling and acting.I would like to tell you how i got started in this.I went to the web site and sent them a letter telling them that i would love to receive some info. on their school.A few months later i received a call.They invited me to an audition.I was so excited! I couldnt believe that i actually got a call.So the day came.I got all dressed up,and went to the audition.It was at a hotel here in my home town.Evansville IN.Once we got there we had to sign in and get a number.(Our number was our audition number.When it was your turn to actually audition,they would call your number.)Once that was done we all went into a room and they told us about their school and how our classes were gonna be and how much it was going to cost.I couldnt beleive it! I never thought that it would be so much.Almost $2000 just for the classes.So they told us about the classes,and what all we would learn.After that they has us all line up againt the wall and take turns walking down the runway.It was so much fun!Once we all had our turn of walking the runway a few times,the number calling started.They were getting closer and closer to my number and i was getting more and more nervous.Once they called my number and i got on that runway,i was no longer nervous.I loved the energy rush and how exciting it was.After my walk on the runway i had the rest of my audition.They told us that if we were chosen,we would receive a call the next day around 5 o'clock and they would let us know if we were chosen.So the next day came and i was nervously waiting hoping to get a call.7 o' clock rolled by and I told my my step mom that i guess there will be a next.To my surprise,I received a call 10 min.later." Hello". " Yes may I speak to Miss Natasha Evans please"? "This is her"." Hi,sweetie,this...(not going to mention name)from Barbizon.How are you"?" Hello,Im fine how are you?" " Im doin good.Im callin because i have some good news to share with you.You have been choosen."" Oh my gosh.Really?" "Yeah.Are you excited"? " Yes,I never thought that I would actually get in". " We looked at and interviewed over 350 people and we only chose 36 people.You were in the top 10.CONGRATULATIONS!" At this point i was speechless.I didnt know what to say."Natasha?,are you there"? " Yes im here.Thank you so much.I dont know what to say." Would you be able to come this Saturday for your first class"? " Yes.Ill be there". So I went to all of the classes and went to Cinncitti Ohio for graduation.That was so exciting as well.We got broke down into groups and had to do so scit type thing.Like act out a little part.My groups topic was " Im every woman.We had to dress up as anything we wanted.A lawyer,firefighter,a soldier etc.This was to show that women can be anythiing they want to be.That these tyoes of jobs arent just for men. Wwe walked the runway then each group did our acting scene.After that we all went back on the runway for the last time.(Well the last time at graduation)It was an experience of a life time something that i will never forget.My dream has always been to someday be a very successful model.My family and friends have always told me that they believe in me and that if i follow my dreams that someday the biggest fream of my life would come true.
I have seen your E! true hollywood story on how you got started in your modeling carrer.And i was wondering if you could give me some pointers on how to get started.It would me some much to me.You have been my idol for such a long time.You have always told fans to believe in yourself and to always follow your dreams.This is what I am really wanting to do.To someday be a very successful model.I would really appreciate it if you could give me some pointers on how to get started in a modeling career without paying so much.
Thank you so much for your time.
Yopurs truly
Natasha Evans of Evansville IN.

Hey Tyra,
My name is Tiayrra and im from Tacoma, Washington a place where you cant get to far in a modeling or acting career. I was writing you to ask you for tips of any kind to become a model and actress its been my dream since I was a little girl. But everytime i try for modeling auditions out here they want money and when i was listening to one of your shows you had stated "never pay to be seened if they want you they'll pay your way". And i want to come out for Americas next top model... im pregnant right now, and people tell me I have ruined my life but I know I havent and that doesnt mean I have to through my dreams away and your so much of an understanding person if you can give me tips and I was also wondering when the next cycles started in 2008. if you can Tyra PLEASE GET BACK to me it is my dream.

Hello tyra,my name is star and I been following my dreams to become a model but it seems so discourging for a young blk sista like me. I have so much confidence in myself to know that I will make it someday in the modeling world. I come from south central los angeles, and I been on my own since I was 13yrs old and I been supporting myself in ways you can imagine. Im not proud of what I had to do but living in a broken home made me want to model even more tyra because I walked around all my life saying I would be MODEL and I been praying one day it will happen and I turned to you my inspiration that has been modeling for years and you had your mom giving you all that support and when I think of my relationship with my mom it makes me want to cry because I wanted to be successful with her in my life but things just dont change. Tyra I really need your guidence and support and your faith in me. from star 19yrs old

Hi Tyra, Im a dark skin, slim 21 years old that's 130lbs and 5 feet 7 inches and 3 quaters. I had always wanted to be a model but never knew how to get started. I even went to one of the open calls for America's Next Top Model Show in New York. I love taking pictures and I'm very photogenic. How can I get my foot in the door in the modeling field? I tried many things and been scammed many times. I told my mom about these people who said all I had to do was pay for registration and I can go to all the open calls, the first thing she said to me was, "Tyra said that to be a model if they want you, you shouldn't have to pay for anything, that they paid for her a flight and hotel for her to model for them." My response to her was,"HOW??" I don't even have to be America's Next Top Model just a model. I hope you read this and can help me.

I have modeled for a Golwell hair show a couple years back, and completed 1 year of modeling school...along with pursuing other interests in my education. However, modeling has been my dream career ever since I can remember. I want it SO SO bad, but I realize that I have to be careful as to not get involved with a scandel! I am from upstate N.Y. and would really like a chance to be on ANTM. I have overcome a lot of obstacles in my life that not many people can say that they have had to go through. I still walk tall and I always try to keep my faith. Can you help me? How do I apply for the show? I never give up on my dreams, and I work real hard. If I could land a spot on ANTM I would love to prove to myself and to the world that I AM AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL!

tyra,
i just finished watching ur show...needles to say i was crying within the first 5minutes. this show REALLY hit home for me. i used to be pretty skinny...125lbs. now i weigh 175lbs. i cant stand myself! u had 3 models on the show 1 healthy,one plus size, and one (yael) who was obviously anorexic, i sat there listening to her talk and i broke down crying...i thought if she thinks she is fat at 104 what am i at 175?if she saw me on the street what would be going through her head?.. looking back i see that even tho im only 5'4 i was still a little to skinny at 125 but my husband says thats where he wants me again but he also says he doesnt want me to be to skinny!?! i feel UGLY,i feel like no matter what i do il never be good enough to make even myself happy... but your shows give me hope,hope that maybe one day i can love myself......
THANK YOU

Hi,
tyra it me crystal and i wanted to let u know that i have been telling myself that i was fat many time and telling my step-mom that i was fat as well. A few nights ago i tried to kill myself because i don't like the way i look. when i was living in florence with my real mom, and her new husband J.D. would say that me and my sister melissa is fat. And i feel like i have no confidence in my life. i even have problems with nem. i can't seem to hug them and i can't hug my father. i really want to be with my father amd live my life with him. i could have all kinds of flash back after wat has happened to me. my childhood was stolen from me and so was my virgenty.so i've always called myself fat. i've also told myself that i was ugly and i have no confidence at all. tyra please i need your help i don't want to hurt myself. And i don't wanf to hate myself ither. I even don't want to hurt my family nor my father. please tyra i need you right now.
Thank you tyra.

Tyra,
First of all, you are such an inspiration to me. Also, I have wanted to be a model for as long as I can remember. I'm seventeen years old and I'm from a very small town in Alabama. There are a handfull of girls my age that have payed to model. I have always said that I wouldn't ever do that. I agree with Brittany. I think its a wonderful idea for a Teen Americas Next Top Model! I just want to be discovered and I'm not sure I know what I need to be doing. I would love to audition for ANTM. When are the next auditions going to be and is there going to be Auditions in Alabama?
Thanks Tyra for all that you do. You not only inspire me but so many other young females my age. I hope one day I can be as good of a role model as you are.
Sincerely,
Brooklyn

Hi, Tyra my name is Brittany i am 15 years old, and I really want to be model. I have sumbit my photos to two modelings agencies already, but neither have gotten back to me, i was wondering if you had any more agencies i could sumbit my photos? I love watching ANTM, but i was thinking maybe you should do one for teens because not just women want to be models but also teens my age. But I LOVE your show your not just my biggest romodel for teens/women today but your a inspiration and that's why i love you so much!!!!!!!!
Posted by: Brittany | August 26, 2007 6:20 PM
hey Tyra,
i've fallen into this problem may times. Im not a woman/girl, im actually male. I first wanted to become a model when I was 13. sadly I never heard any of this advice and i fell for a scam and lost $1,500.00 or more, and at the end they promised to do a photoshoot. but according to most agencies and other photographers, this pictures weren't usable. and even after all that i went to an agency and lost another $1,000.00 or more for some so called "classes". even after all that I refuse to give up. im going to be 16 soon and i sill dont have an agency. all the photoshoots i've done were booked by me. I refuse to let cruel people crush my dreams. they can take all my money till im broke but they'll never take my hope. i just wish there was something that could help me out... like i love how you have america's next top model. you help so many woman out, but.. i dont know of anything that could help MEN out... and especially since i dont have the "standard" male model look.
and photographers and other people really try to bring me down. i have some skin problems *acne* so i've been to countless skin doctors and im on 3 topical tretments and 1 oral. so i began learing all about make up to help concel all blemishes. and i though it would be handy to know make up artistry.
so i guess my point in telling you all this was so i could ask... do you have any advice on how a 16 year old boy with the odds fighting him could find help in this industry.
much love
and admiring,
Andres Molina

Tyra,
i have done a lot of really stupid stuff to become like the beautiful girls i see on tv and in magizines. I am not seen a beautiful i am seen as 100% the oppisite. Its hard to even wake up in the morning, get up and go to school and work. i cry when i get up from all the harse words and name I am called and told. i stopped eating for a while. i tried to fix my teath myself. My family isnt well of so i deal without things girls have. i feel like i have been punished by god for something. i have tried nearly everything possible to make myself look close to pretty. i dont know how girls that are that pretty(nice body and nice teeth) could do drugs or even mess with their bodys. i woud be gratful if i had straight teeth or looked pretty. i dont know how much longer i can deal with the pain. its hard. if i had the royalty like paris or linsey... anyone like that i would put it to good use... like helping people like me. i love watching your show and how you change so many peoples lives. you give me hope Tyra. Thanks for the inspiration!

Dear Tyra,
My name is Sierra Wilson I'm 11 years old and i had an idea about Americas next top model, I was thinking that there should be a top model for teens/ young adults. I though of this because a lot of young girls that look mirror and think bad about themselves and they may be struggling with people saying that they cant do this or they cant do that because they look the way they look Ive been made fun of for being full figured, I also think that most teens don't believe that they can do anything they put their minds to and this would give us a chance to see that we can do that thing. It will probably get us thinking about our future and what they can do.
Always,
Sierra
P.S. Ive been working on my walks and poses!!!!

Oh yeah, Tyra this is Frank again, I know it's probably unusual 2 have males emailing U like this on your website,lol. But I just wanted 2 elaborate on the male model show. Okay, since I'm 17 yrs. old. I have the idea of making the age range from 14-17 since U have 2 B at least 18 for Ultimate Modeling, and then U can call it, "America's Next Top Male Teen Model". Tyra please take this into consideration, luv ya.
Posted by: Frank | August 25, 2007 12:39 PM
Hey Tyra,I love U so much, I finally got a hold of you, I don't really understand your e-mail system much either,lol. But Tyra, my name is Frank and I have an idea 4 U, I think it would be interesting to have a male America's Next Top Model show. I am 17 yrs. old and a musician attending high school in the Bronx, NY. My mother is Dr.Sharon Leslie, who is a minister and teacher. This idea of a male model show came 2 me recently and I would like to participate in this show b/c ppl tell me that I have the "look". Please keep my info in your show contacts. Love You Tyra, take care.

Hey Tyra,
My heart is pounding right now, know that Im actually communicating with you. basically you are my role model...and my dream is to be a model. what ever it takes. but i have a bit of a problem. a few years ago i was in a very dark stage of my life and i was hanging out with the wrong crowd and things got wayy out of hand. long story short i was a cutter...and now that im clean and free of all that i want to persue my dream as a model but i feel like all my scars are holding me back. will an agency even hire me??
please help me tyra...i want my life back
sincerly,
Abbey

Hey Tyra,
I just wanted to let you know that you're like my idol. I love the fact that you're real. I've been real sick for the past 2 weeks so I've been watching your show everyday. I think its awesome that you care about your fans. I've always wanted to be a modle or an actress, but I'm only 5'1 and weigh about 103lbs. I don't have the money to get into all of the things I would like too. I'm a junior in high school this year and have been thinking about my career a lot. Can you give me some kind of advice?
Please write me back when you get the time.
Sincerely,
Beth

It be really great if you did.My dream and my goal is to become a model even though im not 5,10 the one thing i do have is i have the passion for it.Tyra, your such a wonderful person and i admire you for that.

Hi Tyra, I loved your show 2day w/ Jada,Mary,and Lisa.Well I always wanted to be a model,but i dont know were to start so i was thinking that you could have a show of America's Next Teen Model.It will be a wonderful experince for teens ages 13-17 because of the fact that you have to be 18+ to go to the real (ANTM)America's Next Top Model.Its just a suggestion for another one of your fantastic shows!!!

Hi Tyra-
Just wanted to say your show is the greatest and I'm very happy for you. God has really blessed you in so many ways. This is the first time I have been to your website and the first time I have seen so many people adore you. So many little girls look up to you. I'm very proud of you, seeing you go from run-way to talk show. You're a very generous person with a lot of love. We love you in Texas.
Keep praying,

Hi Tyra! I've wanted to model since I was a little girl and have been told before by many people that I should get into modeling but my parents won't support me. All I want to know is if I could be a model or an image of what someone is looking for...I just want to be told if I have the right look and if I don't it's fine I take critism well. But if I do how do you get started? I'm 17 and need answers. Please help!
Love,

Hello tyra, ever since i was in the 6th grade, ive always had this love for this thing called modeling. Now i am 20 yrs old and still do. Ive done things from model search america, barbizon...and been through so many scams that took lots of both my money and my parents money. Ive always wondered why i always started doing something or some sport and always quit it, it was always b/c my mind was never in it. At home everything is always about my sister cause shes so smart and blah..blah..blah. I know if i became a model finally it'll be something great for me.With modeling OMG! ive traveled all the way to NY, PA... mind you im from Baltimore, MD to pursue this thing and so many ppl tell me WOW! you're tall and skinny you should be a model and in my mind i just say only if its really that easy. Ok here i am a 5'11 girl that weighs 135lbs, 20 yr old from Baltimore, MD that also travels to NY almost every week trying to make it and it is really hard. Ive waisted so much money on photograhers, and the model agencies always tell me "you need better photos". Ive watched ANTM and seen girls who cried b/c of a haircut, or something another girl says to them, or even wants to make a girl there a BFF forgetting that its a competition.I know quitting is definetely not in my vocabulary but what else can i do. I know i have potential, the look, the walk, and all but i just need a good breathrough, and exposure...HELP.....!!!!

I am 16 and i have a 34 ddd size bra. I have seen what all these girls are willing to do to become a model. I have wanted to be a model, but my body is holding me back. I have lost weight but they have not changed in size at all. I kno that i am not the only 16 year-old female who is dealing with the same struggle i am dealing with. people stare and tease me . Most of all the other females in my school clame that they are fake. A breast redustion has been highly considered , but i wish there was another way.

I'm a 15 year old muslim girl and I still dont wear my headdress because My family and I are scared about what neighbors would do and if my friends would still be me friend. Anyways I just want to thank you about how you helped people that watch your show relize that muslims are very nice and peaceful. I am proud to be a muslim, but I am ashamed of the people who were responsible for 9-11. God would never have made us kill anyone.
Thank you for listening!

Hey Tyra,
This is the first time I'm writing to u but sure not the last.I really enjoy watching ur shows, encouraging young people to be just who they are and not what others want them to be.I have had this problem my whole life and am still struggling... Well everyone expects me to be perfect and although I'm doing the best I can and accomplishing a lot, still I don't feel like I am appreciated.All this anger inside me frustrates me, and since I have no one to talk to, I decided to write to u and ask u for some advice:) I'm 15 years old and desperate to find a solution to my problem.Can u help?

Hi trya I just want you to know that I truely luv you and all of your shows. I want to be like you, well I think that i would rather be like me because I never walked in your shoes so I don't know how that would fell. I can't wait until I turn 18 years old so I can appear on your show so I can show them what maodeling is truely about. I really hope that you read this and that I am not just typeing to be. I know that a lot of people don't read there mail but you seem so real and I think that you would read this. Every time I see America's next top model. I go and get my pink digital camer and start taking pictures of myself and then when I am done I go a srut my stuff through the hall way. I am very sorry if I am spelling thing incorrectly it is because I am not suppose to be on the computer right now, but I think that this is worth it so until I am 18 and can be able to meet you in person bye.......
P.S. I have to lose a few pounds first because I want to be as skinny as most models..... luv Yahnae

Hello.

Dear Tyra,
I don't understand why anyone is ever surprised about what some girls or women would do to be a model or get into show business in general. The media glamorizes these occupations and the women in the industry are paid to make it look easier than it is. Women will put themselves in dangerous situations and harm their bodies in order to be apart of the glamor and to be deemed as beautiful. And it's understandable... who wouldn't want to be seen as beautiful? We praise it and honor it. Most women aren't even heard if they don't have the look first. We can't prance these images in front of girls then be shocked that this is what they strive to become. How many times has a teacher, a doctor, a lawyer, an engineer ever graced the cover of People, Vogue, or Glamour magazine?

Hey Tyra, I have seen this episode a couple of times now and I like how you surprised some of the girls who were putting themselves in danger. It really makes you think what if tyra wasn't here
Posted by: Britt | August 20, 2007 4:18 PM
Dear Tyra,
I think that it's crazy what girls will do just to become models. Personaly i think that modeling should show the girls best features and have them feel confident in there own skin.
I'm 14 years old and at one point i wanted to become a model but know i dont feel confindent in my own skin to let other people see it and tell me what i have wrong about me i just can't take that well e-mail me back when you have a chance i would like to hear from you.
LOVE your bigest fan, yajaira
p.s i think that your amazing and i think that they things you do on your show is great and your one of my role models.
Posted by: Yajaira | August 20, 2007 3:16 PM
hey tyra love your show and i know you get alot of comments but i just hope you have time to reply to some by email. anyways i was wondering since im a rly short girl 4 feet 11 and 16 years old i know im not gonna grow very much but would be interested in becoming a model is there any agencies in canada that would actualy concider me. ??
anyways love, Val

Tyra,
my name is Tiffany & i am half afro american & asian...i went 2 a perdominately white jr. high school where most of the girls were skinny...unfortunately i wasnt...and being that i wanted to fit in and become a model i develpoed an eating disorder...i lost so much weight and basically all of my self esteem...and i still wasnt able to model because i was to short...thanks be to God who blessed me with a loving family my dad helped me through my rough times...a few yrs later i got pregnant and learned there was a modeling agency called "Expecting models". this was just for pregnant women and i saw an opportunity in this...before i could email this agency i went into pre-term labor and lost my chances...now i am 19yrs old and i have a beautiful baby girl...after i had her i looked back at my life and how i almost ruined my life...i may not be a super model on the catwalk but i am proud to say that i am a decent role model for my daughter and thats good enough for me...and i thank you on behalf of all the women who went through what i went through for having the courage to show your concern and love for everyone all shapes and sizes....

Dear Tyra, !
I want to become a model so BADD.!!
that ii wear my mom's heals and dress up and model. I even get bed covers and try different and unique style's and model it.BUT we don't have that kind of money to spend on the modeling agencies. My friend is in Barbezon and she said that she paid $2000.00 and that is just way to hard. My father said that he would give me anything but i just can't waist his money because, he doesn't have a job because of an accident.And my mother is disabled and is trying really hard. And were moving so it's even harder. And it SUCKS so bad,cuz i want to be like you [your my ROLE MODEL], and knowin that i can't model at this age i'm 14 years old. I want to do it right now,and it's like i know that this is what i want, i live for modeling and if i can't then i don't know what else there is for me to do. I want to do this more than i can even understand . My question is what can i do money wise. ??
love alway's.

Hey Tyra, I've been modeling at John Casablanca's for almost a year now and we had to pay a $2000 dollar fee for class's. Was that a scam? I've always wanted to be a model and I'm working so hard to get there.

hello, tyra. omg, i cant believe that im actually doing this. i never thought i would go all this way to get my voice heard. this is not even about the topic, but i have to say it somewhere. i been writing through journals to clear my mind about everything, but for some reason now a days thats not enough. well, i have a problem. i dont see my own beauty. how is that possible? i have no earthly idea. i look in the mirror and im just disgusted. im 19 years old weighing at almost 300lbs, with unwanted hair problems, oily skins breakouts, and stretch marks. its not fun. im worrying about things that most girls dont even think about. well, the ones that surround me. well, i was going to say where im from people do this, but thats everywhere. i mean fashion is everything. i mean EVERYTHING. and i love the fact that you can have fun with clothes, makes up ne designs for the world to see, but i cant even where the things that i want to wear. i mean not weight wise, but money wise. i try to save, but there's always my phone bill, personal buyings, and my mother. so savings isnt an option. i mean clothes is my last resort of buying, and shoes as well. as i look in my closet i have 10 shirts, 5 shorts, and 3 capris ( 2 are the same ) and 2 pair of jeans. one really old pair of white shoes, and black, and heels that i cant wear anyway. ITS TERRIBLE! it makes it even worse that i know i can dress better than this, but i cant. my hair is always pulled back into a ponytail. i just give up trying, and thats not me. on top of that, i want to do something thats dealing with communications, and they are not going to take you seriously of how you look. im a writer. i want to write. or be in a magazine. dont know nothing about it, but i want to learn, or how to deal with people in that field. like for example, what do you behind the scenes of the tyra show. i want to do something like that, but how can i when i dont have much confidence within myself. i want to loose weight. i want to look good for my future girlfriend...lol yes, i am a lesbian. we havent seen each other yet, but i want to look good when i see her. i mean its alot that i want to do, but i dont have the money, transportation, and connections to get there. tyra, i dont even know how to drive. people be so busy to even teach me. its hard tyra, and sometimes i want to quit. im a sophomore in college thats just trying to better herself each day. i would love to use your help and give me some advice. it will mean so much to me. your my idol. i watch ANTM, every chance i get. if i have some type of confidence i would want to take pictures as a model myself. people see it, but i just dont. how can i see it tyra. show me.
-from a lost girl, jai
Posted by: jai | August 18, 2007 10:41 PM
hey tyra
I agree with you on how shocking it is to see how many woman/ladies/girls will do to be skinny. I for one am a girl that has enough meat on my bones to go around, and after seeing your show it inspired me, and made me realize, IT DOESN'T matter that I am bigger.. You are a big inspiration to me and many many other ladies out there. Keep up the good work.
I watch your show whenever I get the chance. If I am having a bad day, I flip on the Tyra show to get in a better mood whether it be a happy show or a sad show, it always brings a smile to my face. You smile and crack a joke or get your little sexy like attitude going and I can't help but laugh.
Anyways you are completely amazing and an awesome role model
Love
Ashley
Hope to hear from you soon

Hey Tyra,
Well I love my face if you ask me im the most beautiful person in the world (besides you) but im on a diet right now. Im not fat,but im not the size I want to be. Also when I get older I want to be on Americas Next Top Model. I know how hard it is so thats why I have another dream to follow after that,but still I know that I can do it. Tyra my wish of all my life was to meet you. I never had a real mom my dad I dont really see him,but he is in jail right now hw gets out this year my mom died when I was 12 and ill be 14 this year september 18th and and if I dont get anything else im praying that I itleast get an email from you thats all I want. And I just want to say that all them people that talk about you just know that its something about you that they like if they waste there breath to talk about you!! Also I do think its sad that girls would put there life in danger to be a model becauseI remember I had a dream that I did that one day and I woke up crying because I wouldnt dare do anything like that to myself. Well dont forget me tyra I really would like to meet you one day mabe when I get older cause im scared to fly right now and maby you will see me on A.N.T.M. one day to. Well I gotta go I dont want to take no more of your time. Thanks for all the good advise. Its advise that one day I will give my kids.
~LOVE YOU~

Posted by: Alagria | August 18, 2007 8:58 AM
Dear Tyra,
I'm a menber of the church or jesus christ of latter-day saints. When i was in middle school i was bigger than most of the girls and i hated myself. and it was about that time that i found out that i had a minor verson of Asburgers syndrom. Asburgers is a version of autism only they are smarter and bad with social stuff. I wanted to kill myself but i'm scared of pain and i never did it or atempted it. When i was in 8th grade i was a loner and many people wanted to "save me" and be my friend but i didn't want any.
By the time i was a freshman in high school, I had to move to the other side of town for my aunt who has m.s. I had to go to a new church (because it's seperated into stakes and little branches called wards) with new people and kids my age. Everything was pretty much the same. I felt ugly and i could only be understanded by my family including my youngest sister who is autistic. My mom wanted me to have friends in high school so she encouraged me to hang out with the kids at my church. i knew one girl who was in the AV childrens choir, a community choir, with me.
Anyway, my mom wants me to have friends and unlike every other mom you see on tv who would discourage going out with friends, my mom encourages it. I would sit by myself and as time went by i thought i should talk to somebody so that's how i started to get better.
I started hanging with them at "the mormon pole" I made new friends who in time changed me into who i am today. my girl friends became my heros because they were always so happy about who they are. Most mormons are. I started geting out of the grungy clothes and started putting on jeans. i did my hair, and i put on make up.
by jr. year i was practicly just like everyone else. i had never told anyone about my asburger syndrom because i didn't want anyone to treat me differently. I wasn't fixed. i still have problems talking to people but it's easier and it's a little better. I was in special ed classes and now i'm a senior and i have none.
I had always wanted a guy to love me like they do in movies but i felt that the guys only wanted girls who were in shape and beautiful after a girls camp for my church i found out (and this seems very superficial)
the right guy isn't marrying you for your looks because we all get old and ugly. I feel so superficial now. Because of asburgers syndrom it's harder to feel things the way other do.
I'm no model but i love to perform in musical sort of things. I want to be on broadway and a director of movies and i want to show the world that every girl is beautyful in there own way. My church has made we figure that out. but i always wanted to show the world that guys don't always want the super model look.
i love your show, you are my hero. you have touched so many and i only hope that i touched someone like you. I wish that i could tell everyone my story.
your truly,
Megan
Posted by: Megan | August 17, 2007 10:35 PM
tyra i have a problem... my mom thinks im beautiful. she wants to take some pictures of me to send into a modeling agency, just as a hobby. im 5'7, 121 pounds and 15years old i know im not 'skinny'. the skinny everyone else thinks is beautiful.im healthy and i love it. i find it weird how people define good looking as hott body & nice face, when a curvy person can have the most beautiful face ive ever seen.[[What ever happened to 'thin is in but fat is where its at'?]]. we should not judge by the numbers that appear on a scale. beautiful is everywhere and we do not have to look far for it. the thing is, im a real person and im just worried that there are no 'real' modeling agencies out there because there is no way im going to lose a crazy amount of weight just to take pictures that little girls can look at and compare to their own bodies. i just cannot live with that. i wouldnt have a problem going on a diet or losing some weight but i just dont want to be compared to a 9 year old girl who thinks ribs showing are what she needs to do. i would prefer not to lose anything and look the way i already do.
with love,
Jenna

Hi tyra, I love your show.
I'm trying to get into modeling, so I posted some of my pics on myspace. there's a guy name Fransesco Floriano says he is a photgrapher and did a shoot with you and other celebs.I wanted to know if you know him, because I know you can't trust everyone.
Love,
Jennifer
Posted by: Jennifer | August 17, 2007 8:15 PM
Hey Tyra! If u could see my face right now, you would be able to see that I am a girl that is praying that this is REALLY something that you read. I want to become a high-fashioned model really bad. But unlike the ordinary, I actually CAN do it, it's not just a dream of mine that might ONLY just be a dream. This is something that can become reality. When I went to California, I got the offer of going the America's Next Top Model casting call but I couldn't because we had to come back to Mississpi and I had school to atend to. I'm not one to only be pretty face, I want an education also. But with me getting to the point now... I need ur help to put me out there in the high-fashioned model world. I'm 5'8'' and 123 lbs...which is decreasing! lol But if u would plz just write me back and tell me that you want to help me, i will finally quit crying about wondering if this is real, and start crying because you have became a blessing in my life and made my dream become a prosperous reality. I LOVE YOU TYRA! and I hope God keeps blessing ur life. XOXO

Hey tyra, I watch your show all the time. I want to ask you a question, I am aspiring model. I posted some of my modeling pics on my myspace page and this photographer name
fransesco Floriano saw my
pics and liked them. He claims he work with you and other actress. I only sent one of my pics to him. So I wanted to make sure if you actually worked with this guy.
Love Jennifer B.

Hey Tyra,
I was looking at your show about all the skinny models and how you was telling us how little girls are also following their path. Its not only the girls but some boys also follow that path to become skinny. Some of us boys fear that in school, if your not skinny with abs your not cool
Posted by: Tyler | August 17, 2007 1:27 PM
the age is suppose to say 16. sorry about that.
Posted by: alyssa | August 17, 2007 1:02 PM
Hey Tyra I watched your show today and it really influinced me, because when I look in the magazines all I saw are really skinny girls. I think if this is pretty than what am I? But now that I watched your show and you show that those girls aren't happy and their not pretty the way they are it makes me believe that I am truely healthy and pretty. I also want to thank you for the way that you stood up to the tadbloids, because I look up to you so much and the way that you are confident about yourself makes me confident too.
Posted by: Gabriela | August 17, 2007 1:01 PM
OMG i am watching your show right now about dying to be thin and i am just amazed with everything i have seen so far. i totally agree with you. i think it is discusting about how many young girls think they are fat and are now anorexic. i am mainly writing this comment because i love the way i look. i am 1 years old, 5 foot 7 and weight 137 and i have a "ghetto booty" and i love it! i think it is sad to see all these household actresses that are now so skinny. for example keira knightly she was so beautiful and have amazing curves in the Pirates of the Carribian movies and now to me she looks discustingly shinny.
that is my input on the issue of being skinny. love the show and you, u are amazing. hopefully u eventually get to personally read this and could do 1 thing for me and maybe read this on your show i would love it. it would be the next best thing to meeting you in person, which is what is hope to do one day by hopefully being on your show. thanks and yourwelcome for the comment.
Posted by: alyssa | August 17, 2007 12:59 PM
Tyra,
I just wanted you to know your show today made me cry,in a good way,Thank you so much for standing up for everyone that is not "the perfect type".....super skinny....I have been under weight and now with 3 kids way over weight and no matter what you look like some body always has something to say...!! I believe though the Lord made me over weight (right now) for a reason. I thought I had so much self esteem when I was "perfect"....but now I see it was not self esteem on the inside just on the outside... I now have self esteem on the inside (at 230lbs, 5'7)....I have never been as happy as I am now....I LOVE MYSELF!!!...and GOD BLESS YOU FOR SAYING WHAT YOU SAY...YOU DO MAKE A DIIFERENCE!!!!........you are truly beautiful on the inside and out!!!

Hi tyra, I just had a birthday and i just turned 12 and i know that birthdays arent about gifts but I really do need at least ( I know this is alot) 2,000 dollars because Me and my family are struggling and we need money to pay some bills. And we also wanted a puppy but we need to pay 500 for shipping and handling then like 60 dollars for pet needs and the rest for the bills.Can you please help me out with this. Oh, And I watch your show every day. You are a role model and inspiration to me. I was wondering can we be friends. Like hook up on some weekends if you have nothing to do and go shopping. If you have time. But I really do need this HUGE FAVOR!!!!!!!!!

heyy tyra i think your show is amazing i watch it everyday and never miss it ..today i found the subject about anorexia very very important. i think that it is a great problem.me and my friend have been modeling for about a year now, im a male shes a girl and i got a lil extra package and im proud of it and she is thin .yeahh i got the great cheek bone and a bit of jiggle jiggle on my thys for sure and this bring me to my point that not only dose media but also other models provoke anorexia.like you said on the show that if it wasnt for your strength when the tabloids showed that picture you would have probably started looking at your wieght ..this happened to me and my friend on our first runway. i was rly nervis and stressed and i looked at all the guys and they were all nicely built and i looked at the gurls and they all looked faboulous .i continued telling myself how i must be some how good looking if i was doing this. about 5 mintues befor i went on , a famous internet model 'audrey kitching' was there and came to see me and asked me how long i had been modeling i told her its was my first runway and she paused and said quote on quote. ' ohh i would probably see you and your friend in a food add' and after the runway i completly blew it off and didnt both making much of it but my friend started watching her weight and counting calories making sure she stayed thing she was admited to the hospital 21 hours befor she died of anorexia and belimia it goes to show that not only do tabolids and media provoke anorexia but also other models

thanks !

tyra,
i juss saw your show about the media saying you are fat. i juss wanted to say it takes a strong woman to stand up and do what you did. i think you are a beautiful woman and other people need to look at theirself before they judge others.
Posted by: Allen | August 17, 2007 10:22 AM
i love how you showed your body and are confident i am very confident myself and think anorexia is absoluetly wrong and i dont understand why people do it
Posted by: Heather | August 17, 2007 9:19 AM
i think that people(females)shouldnt really listen to what the media has to say because all its' saying is to kill yourself or you're the ugliest thing in the world when you should know that beautiful and that's why you're different from everyone else. i'm 14 years old and wear a size 11/12 in jouinrs, but i don't care because i know i'm beautiful or i wouldn't look this way. so when someone calls me fat, i think of Fabolous And Thick, tyra you're the most beautifuliest person i've ever met inside and out. god bless, shea.
Posted by: shea | August 17, 2007 9:09 AM
I think that what society is doing to these girls is bull.
who ever said you had to be skinny to be beautiful.
beauty is skin deep it shouldnt matter how much you weigh for the world to classify you as beautiful.
And these other young girls that think being toothpick thin is sexy it's not its damaging and only hurting yourself.
i know im big but damn i know i look good weather how much i weigh or not.
its all about confidence =]
you have to show people you got it. and if you got it then you flaunt it. we need to show people that thick girls can be just as beautiful as skinny ones.

Good evening Tyra My name is Charleen Harry im 15 years old and im an aspiring model.my plans are to go to college but to also to become a top fashion model.I really don't get that much motivation from my parents only because there so busy and they feel like most of the websites are scams but i wasn't sure if writting to you was going to be such a good idea only beacus i really don't know what im going to get out of it.I do no one thing for sure being that i do live in new York it gives me a chance to visit certain agencies and all that other good stuff of becoming a model ,but honestly i really don't know where to start or to even begin my dream,i have tryed but am a young girl and i need help too.I really hope that i am doing the right thing by writting this note and i very much so appreciate your time and hope to here from you whenever you can.Thank so much Tyra

Hey Tyra,
I was just wondering how you learned to be a model. Like how you learned how to catwalk professionally and stuff like that because i've read that you never went to a modeling school before. And i just graduated from a modeling school and I'm just starting my career in modeling, and I know that, for me, i would never know how to catwalk and pose without going to a modeling school.

hey tyra im a very big fan of your show and also a very big fan of america next top model, well ive always wanted to be a model i use to be in this modeling agency by the name of barbizon but i didnt make it really far because iam a young mother during the period of time i was modeling i got pregnant i was only fifteen years old, so that had to be put to side, now iam 19 and my little girl is 3 years old im in college for nursing, but my real dream is to be a model im still pretty skinny but i have a really big how can i say a jlo booty, LOL so i dont know how dat will work with modeling but ive tried going to many casting calls but im just so scared that they are fake and i dont want to seem desperate, so my question to you tyra is how can i be sure of where to go and do you think me being a young mother is something they will judge, these is really my big dream so please help me out!!
Posted by: enelda | August 15, 2007 4:41 PM
Hi Tyra.I am a huge fan of you and your shows and almost every single episode of your talk show i have friends that can relate to your topics.The one episode that made me stay glued to the t.v. was the one about how young women would do almost anything to (for me)reach stardom of becoming an actress or a model.i have a friend who will do anyinthing to become famous.i always try to tell her to be carful with what she is doing.i go with her to every "agency" to make sure she is safe, but she is stuck on that living the life of a celebraty.so when i had seen the episode on that topic of fake agencies and such, i sat down with her and we both watched it.and thanks to you she is now more aware of the situations dealing with getting those kind of jobs.thank you sooooooooo much for reading my letter.i am 14 years old, and i hope your show is on long enough so i can get tickets!

Hi Tyra.
My name is Kayla and Im 14 years old. I watch ANTM all the time and I have always drempt of being a model. I have the shape for it, but I have acne. I watched your show on acne and Ive tried almost everything. It really lowers my confidence and Im not as outgoing as I could be. My friends and my family always tell me that Im pretty and that I could make it in the modeling industry. I also just dont think I have the face. Yoanna had a beautiful bone structure and a really pretty face. I think I may be too commercial for it. You and Adrianna Lima are my role models and I hope I will end up on ANTM one day.
Have any tips on anything?
Your such an inspiration to me.
Kayla

HElloooo! SO, first off im a big fan =) my name is Dina, i just moved to FLorida for college,from Virginia and im 18 years old. i actually move into my dorm tomorrow.. but anywho, i read the thing about modeling scams, and for a long time i wantd to be a model, people have always told me i could be one, and me having low self esteem, i wantd to be one to prove to myself and others that i could do it. i know it sounds stupid but thats why i wanted to do it, as long as i saw a pretty picture of myself i felt pretty. I was on vacation in Vegas with my family when i was approached by a scouting agent for Elite, i went up to NY for a test shoot and my mom hated the idea of me even modeling she told my dad not to take me and to not get my hopes up. our family is muslim, and so she didnt liek the idea of people looking at pictures of me and so when i had an agent in new york - and coud have signed with an agency there my mom kept putting it off and said maybe in the summer ( never happened of course) im egyptian, and apparently have an "exotic" look - i wish all models didint look the same. i think there should be more ethnic and exotic models but anyways, i had some other modeling oppurtunities in DC for the summer that i didnt take - im a very shy person who doesnt like a lot of attention( general anxiety disorder) i figured out that modeling wouldnt work for me..i think i just liked the idea of being a model...in real life im way too self conscious to do it. i judge myself harshly, and so i figured it was for the best to just drop it. maybe its because models are everything i want to be. a few months ago however, my friend met the casting director for americas next top model, and she told her about me- and she liked me! unfortunately i was only 17 at the time and still in highschool, and diidnt know if i was even going to college, i was supposed to be going to a community college in the area because my grades werent too good, but then i applied last minute to ringling and got accepted thanks to my art work. i moved down here with my mom, my sister and dad are still in VA, my dad is a dentist and my mom wants to become an artist. right now they're about to go through their second divorce. this letter doesnt have a purpose really, im just talking to talk.. this is the first time i move out of virginia, ive always lived there my whole life. however, i did move from various houses. after middle school i made my first big move - away from where i grew up, i hated it and became so depressed i cut myself. thank god im over that, but it was a hard time also bc of my parents fighting and arguing, they dont realize it but it really does affect me. That might be a good show topic? anyways i just was watching ur show and saw that i could email you and so i did! =) thanks for your time i know your a busy lady
xoxo

Tyra, you're truly an inspiration to so many girls. I am 17 yrs old about to start senior year in high school and freshman year in college. I have never had the courage to dress up or walk with pride. I am 5'7" and wear a size 18-20. I finally came to learn this summer that it is okay to be proud and represent myself. Not ALL my curves are good ones, but I am learning that I am beautiful. Watching you with your mom just not knowing what to say on ANTM, seeing you not judge even though you work in one the highest places of judgement, and watching you incourage millions of fans is one the best moments a girl can have. You really stepped it up and not only did a good thing, but it's also inspiring as a christian. It's great to see you out there doing the right thing.

Dear Tyra,
I love you sooo much. You are such an inspiration to me. You make me feel as though i can do anything in this world! I start school this month and i am going to major in Journalism and Communications because I want to have a talk show one day. Do you think that is a good idea? Anyways I wanted to know your advise on something... I am 5 foot 3 inches and i weight 90 pounds. I am a size zero and i hate my body. I am wayyyyyy to skinny. I eat normal but everyone always have something to say about my body. I have been called every skinny name there is!!!! I pray to God that one day I will gain some weight, but that day has not come yet. Oh and by the way I'm African American, so guys always telling me I don't have any booty or "I would date you if you weren't so skinny" the most hurtful statement a guy could say to me. Anyways i want to know what you think. Pleaseeeeeeeee write me back tyra!!!
Love always,
Brittany

Hey Tyra!
Ok, first of all I loooove your show! I have a concern though. I tried out for this modeling thing at the mall, ok, and I made it to the next round. The trying out was free, but the next round, which is the photo shoot, the talent, (I have to sing for 45 sec.) and the runway walk, costs $150. This includes all of the photos in the photo shoot on CD plus the top 7 for my portfolio, a shirt, and the CDs of my singing portiuon and my runway walk. The corp. is Model Productions. We found the website, and it looked pretty authentic, and this guy, Ray, the judge told us the truth when he said the singer Cassie (ME AND YOU) came from one of these searches, but, I don't want to be ripped off! I'm only 13! PLEASE HELP ME BEFORE SEPTEMBER 1ST!!!!! THAT'S WHEN I'M SUPPOSED TO DO THE WHOLE THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Luv ya,
Rachie

Dear Tyra,
I have a family problem i guess i would say.Well first i'm 13 years old and turning 14 on the 20th.So im young to be going through this.
My mom and dad are split up and im completely fine with that.But,my mom is dating a guy who is 24 and she is 38.He is nothing but trouble.He forces her into stuff and gets her to ignore me,and my older brother and sister.And it upsets me.I can't handle it because us and her boyfriend don't get along with him AT ALL.He is constantly trying to take control and he tries to play the role of my dad.
And my dad works across Texas so i can't live with him right now,otherwise i would.He is actually a parent to me.In my moms house its like we are her roomates.She doesnt take care of anything really,yeah she pays the bills but thats all.And she broke her foot 2 weeks ago by trying to jump from her boyfriends balcony to stairs,so its bad.It upsets me because i shouldn't have to go through this.Plus,i start high school in less than 2 weeks so im kind of nervous of that so its enough stress as it is.
So if you have time,please
help me.No rush because i know there are alot of people e-mailing you.
Thanks so much.
Your friend,
Lauren Gamez
P.s-you have a big impact on my life,just by watching your show you have
helped me with alot.I just
want to say thanks alot=]

Tyra I have a 15yr old daughter that would really love to mopdel. We have begun to pursue her career as a model, by attending different things that take place in our area. The problem we're having is her dad see's where they may say something like she may have to cover some charges and he automatically think their frauds. We recently attended one with ProScout and they mentioned an event taking place in Atlanta in which we would have to flip the bill and my husband totally disagree and felt as though I had been suckered into a scam. Can you cosign on these events taking place in different cities where agents gather and look over new aspiring actors and models and booking them agents and jobs? Can you please help us with this so you can ease my husband's mind. It will be taking place in Atlanta on the 13th and 14th of Oct., at the Hyatt Regency Atlanta Hotel. Anything way you can help will be greatly appreciated!! My daughter's name is Keturah

I really like your shows. I love watching them, either they inspire me or I enjoy learning about someone else's lives. I'm 14 and wondering how did you become a model and how you got to be so famous. I want to be famous one day! I would love to be in Hollywood. I look up to all those girls in Fashion Magazines, but I don't want to be a model in Hollywood I want to be the first dancer/actrees. I love to act and I love ballet and have professional trained for 3 years at the National Ballet School. Being a professional ballerina is my dream but afterwards I would like to take up in acting. Any advice or how that could happen?!!

hey tyra,
Im Kathy and im 16 years old. I watch ANTM every time i watch it, it makes me feel better of myself because you show that beauty comes in many forms. I love fashion and i try to be fashionable but with a little twist of my own liking. I wonder if I could become a model, however i am not 5'7 or taller as all modeling agencies ask for. Is it ok that im only 5'5.5 and i still try to become a model or should i forget about trying to make it and find another way into the fashion world?
Thank you,
Kathy =]

HEY TYRA,
TRUTHFULLY AND HONESTLY I DIDNT REALLY KNOW WHO YOU WERE UNTIL I STARTED TO WATCH AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL. AT THE AGE OF 9 I HAVE BEEN MODELING BUT LIKE YOU SAID YOU DONT HAVE TO PAY TO BE A MODEL BUT I DIDNT KNOW THAT UNTIL I HEARD IT FROM YOU. I WENT THROUGH THE SCAMS WELL MY MOTHER WENT THROUGH THE SCAMS TO TRY TO MAKE MY DREAMS COME TRUE. I AM NOW 17 AND STILL HAVE NOT GONE NO WHERE ON MY LONG JOURNEY. SOMETHING CAUGHT MY EYES WHEN I WAS READING WHAT YOU WROTE YOU SAID THAT SOME GIRLS HAVE SAID THAT THEY HAVE HEARD YOU SAY THAT YOU DONT HAVE TO PAY TO BE A MODEL AND STILL THEY DONT LISTEN SAD TO SAY I AM ONE OF THEM...I AM NOW ATTENDING A PLACE CALLED JOHN CASABLANCAS AND THEY SEEM UNLIKE THE OTHERS THEY CONVINCE ME THAT THEY WILL GET ME SOMEWHERE. SINCE I AM ONLY 17 I CANT ATTEND AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL YET BUT I DO PLAN ON DOING SO...BUT MY QUESTION FOR YOU IS HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN YOUR ON THE RIGHT PATH TO BECOMING A MODEL AND HOW DO YOU GET ON THAT PATH?
THANKS FOR YOUR TIME,
JULIE

Hi tyra.
My names Erin im 15 years of age. Your such an inspiration. Ive always been tall and blonde and "pin perfect". Ive been asked to model at the age of 15 or even younger , Ive always turned them down, because they want me just as my body when im only 15 years old, and their are older and more gorgeous women out there. Modeling has always been my dream , but for once I would like to see someone thats not pin perfect. Like queen latifa, shes gorgeous and shes a model and spokes person for covergirl. I would love to model but not right now. On your show americas next top model, I was so pleased to know that you can see beauty in a plus size model. Thats why you are such an idol to me. You can see beauty in people that are not " the perfect size". Your show , " no one cares about your size" Was so amazing. You had no fear of showing how much you wieghed and that you were not "pin perfect" and that you are proud to know that You arent 110 pounds.
Tyra you have inspired me so much in my teen years.
I love you , your an idol to me.
Thanks so much for your time
Erin. xox

Hello Tyra,
My name's Natalie and i'm from St. Louis. I love America's Next Top Model! I watch it all the time! And i thought that Mercedes was going to win, but you know...lol I just turned 18 yesturday, and it has been my dream to be a model ever since i was a little girl. I've had a hard life, i was adopted from Russia when i was 13. My friends keep telling me to do modeling and i would die to do it, but i don't know how to get into it? I'm short, so it's highly doubtful for me to be a runway model. lol but i love it so much, and if you have any seggestions for me i would listen. Thank you, Natalie

Well i would like to say that...i love your shows and i think it is way cool to actually be yourself!it took me along time to actually find me inside i was in Jr.high and i was struggling trying so hard to fit in.When i watch your show,it inspires me just to be me! I have only learned this past year that it's fine what you look like or what your personality is. To head toward of being me. When i was a litle girl i always looked at the modles and said i want to be like them i was going through a time where i would not eat, it killed me my mom found out and it hurt my mom so bad to know that i was actually doing this to myself. I just want to thank you to teach me a life leason just to be myself...
p.s.you are my idol

Hi Ms. Tyra Banks,
I have sort of a problem. I watch your show everyday but today i saw that you had some young girls and their parents on the show talking about their weight. Well i'm only 13 and i'm scared that i'm not pretty enough 2 charm the boyz or make my mother proud 2 have sumthing so beautiful and perfect. Sometimes i look at my mom and i believe that she does really look at me the way i want her to. When she tells me that I'm beautiful i cant believe it. When i look in the mirror i see a skinny really dark-skinned child with boney arms and muscular legs. i feel that i'm all out of the fashion when it comes to looks. i have a big forhead and i dont see anything good about besides me that i have a chest. i'm tall and i'm addicted to believing is that i'm way way WAY to dark. I've been called blacky, midnight, darkeness, black hawk. everytime i think it's gonna get better it just seems 2 be getting worst. i have this attitude that i cant seem to get rid of because i feel it's the only way to hide how i feel about myself. i tried eliminating myself but it just didn't seem to go as planned. i feel like the only thing i can do is play sports and sort of dance and be flexible. i just dont see any prettiness in myself and whenever some one tells me that i am beautiful i cry and thank them but i dont believe them. my biggest wish in the whole wide world is to make my skin alittle lighter. i've tried everything but nothing seems 2 work. i've us cleaning materials and bleach it's self but it just doesn't seem 2 make me any lighter. i feel 2 skinny in my stomach but 2 fat in my thighs. i even made a list at my grandmothers house 2 see all the positive things in my self and i only named 3 things. i did a negative list and it was getting overfilled. i just dont know what 2 do. i've got and attitude so bad that my mom cant even trust me 2 be home alone any more because she doesn't think it's right. i lost my hope, my indurance, my opprotunities 2 hang with my best friends, have sleepovers, go to the mall with my friends, and now i just dont no wat 2 do. tyra i really need your help because i'm about 2 give up completely. i just have no other choice. i need your help quickly or there wont be an Alexandra

Dear Tyra
Hello Tyra my name is Anayza. Im a hispanic 17 years old young adult. Im suppose to be entering the 12th but due to my errors im entering the 11th.
School for me right now is not the best. Its difficult but im going to stick with it to get my diploma and to make my mama proud no matter what challenges come my way.
I want to be a cosmotologist but also looking into studying buisness and mangement. So instead of just being a hair stylist i can open my own beauty shop. Right now im looking for different beauty school to get into. I have my plan, planed out. (Telling to much of myself......HUH!)
I love you Tyra and i love your show. I watch it every chance i get. I really want to be a guest on your show, not in the audiance on stage next to you. Have you ask me questions and just talk.
Please Tyra give me this opportunity.

Hi Tyra
Im a young lady from South Africa(Johannesburg),I love you and raely look up to as a person who has not had the perfact life but lives it to the fullest.
Sade says King instead of Queen (this is my opinion; women arround the world dream of having a man to love and love them in return, thats a dream that some turn into life and a nightmare some live with. But one way or the other a man has caused sorrow in a woman life and unlike man it stays with us for life,so even when we eventually find someone who loves us as much if not more we still remenber the KING of our sorrows.
Modeling is not as big in South Africa as it is in America but i think girls have forgoten that there are other work fields that can make us twice as happy and still look good, like journalism,law,acting, medical field,teaching etc,you don't have to be known by the world to make an impact on it helping one person may give you more satisfaction out of life.
I ware a size 38 and Im 21years old, I somtimes feel I'm a bit big than I lose some weight, but as soon as Im a size 34 i stop cause to me that is healthy and bootylicious. In America I would be labled as fat or even over weight, theres nohting wrong in being a size 26-32 as long as you feel healthy and proud of yourself.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to express myself i felt like was just having lunch with you.
LOVE BAZAMILE

Hey Tyra. Im only 15 years old and today I went to John Casablanca's Modeling Career Center. They said i was "unique and exotic" and they would offer me a spot for 24 girls they needed for upcoming fall photos. They mentioned to me that John Casablanca represented you. I wanted to know if that was true. Also, my parents finacial situation is not all that great. They wanted my dad to put down a deposit of $440.00. Do you think that is necessary or maybe just a scam? The way a few members of my family see it is..if they can make money off of me why should i pay them to start off my 13 weeks of training? Can you help me clear this up? I'm interested in modeling and everything just sounded so good.

I've always wanted to be a model. I'm only 5'2 so I'm aware I'll never be strutting down a runway for Chanel, but I think it'd be so much fun to act in commercials or do commercial print, petite modeling... I just love to be in front of the camera. It's just FUN for me :) So, many months ago i heard on the radio that ProScout, a talent/model scouting company, would be in my area scouting for young talent, actors, & actresses. I drove to the audition held at a nice hotel. Long story short, i had my 30 sec. 'interview' w/ one of the scouting reps, he liked me and chose me to participate in their main auditions held in Chicago, IL where they fly in about 30 agencies from all over, bring them all to this huge hotel, and give you the opportunity to meet with them and possibly be chosen to work for/with their company. Agencies were from ELITE, IMG, MTV, COSMO GIRL and so on... So a few months down the road, I made the 5 1/2 hour journey to the ProScout main event, paid $1000 to go!!!!... and was chosen to work with a company called Victor's International Talent and Model Management. I've never heard of them before, but was psyched at the opportunity to get my foot in the door. 2 weeks later i had to drive back to Chicago for a photoshoot for my comp cards. It cost me $375 for the photoshoot which I made payable to Victor's International, not the photographer. Kinda sketchy right? Then in about a week I have to mail a check for $90 for 8x10 pics & then $125 for my comp cards. I think this is normal to have to pay for the pics and everything, but I've heard you shouldn't have to be forced to go with a certain photographer, which I was, and that you shouldn't have to pay the company - you should pay the photographer. I need a little reassurance or advice here. Do you know anything about ProScout or Victor's International? Does any of this sound sketchy to you? It may just be nerves that have me questioning and 2nd guessing, but i just want to know for sure that this isn't a scam.

Dear Tyra,
Your show is just amazing. I think somebody who doesn't like it must be crazy because you are beautiful and have a lot of potential to yourself. But the there is this thing that I really want to be is to become a perfessional dancer. This year it will be my 11th year and I told myself after school ended that this next year in 8th grade that I'm going to work my way harder in becoming what I have always dreamed of. Today I was going to try out for the movie Step Up 2. I pushed myself all day and made my self sick. I couldn't come up with anything that would be good enough. All the things that I auditioned for when I was younger is what I want to do now since I am older. Such as Star Seach, and Las Vegas competitions. I didn't know anything about it, all I knew was going to dance and model. Tyra, I just need someone to talk to about my dancing career and where I want to go with it. I need your help :[ I don't know who to call or what to look up on the internet.
I'm sorry if i left you with a blank ending. I just don't know what else to say. I don't want you to think that I'm those people who think that there really good and are not really. I'm actually those people who can dance. I promise.
My whole life is to dance & to become on your show "AMERICAS NEXT TOP MODEL!"
Thanks for your time.

Dear Tyra~
One day my mother asked me if i wanted to go to a modling thing in rockford IL and i said yes. But i watch your Top Modle and its really kool to see all the change that the young women make during the show. I know i could never be a runway modle like them bc of two things dont have the hight or the size. I am 5'5 (gettn shorter)and am about 170 or 160 i am not sure. But when i went with my mom i got in and i was like wow. But nothing has come of it. But another one came up the NYC modle and i got into that. I thought to myself what do they see that i dont and why me? Bc you have this image and i dont see myself by that. But i know that my size is on the brink of being plus size. i know i will never be a size 6 or smaller or anything like that. I can fit into a J-15 or well the store Express my dress pants is size 10 but jeans is a different story they are like a 33. Very one tells me i have a nice body bc i have been in sprots at the age 5 and never stop until i got done with high school. But when i try on a pare of jeans its a nightmare to me. I know i am not that big but with my butt and legs it seem to me that i am fat cow. Just the idea to me and many others sounds cool in are heads. I have my photo shoot with three photo. in sept. I dont know what to expect!? Alot of people tell me you should modle but i dont see myself like that. People said this before i even went to the modle calls. I like taking photos. I have been doing set ups and trying not to over eat to get my body back in shape. I dont know what i am trying to say but just wanted to hear from someone how might know a few things or two. It would be wonderful to get email tell me what you think and maybe answer any question that i think of?

Hi tyra
Im a pre-teen but my dream is to become a model just like you. I even tell everybody that I'm going to become the next Tyra Banks. Nobody believes me so that just makes me want to try even harder to become a model to show them that I can. Thank you for writing this entry or I probably would've turned out like one of those girls who you were talking about. I haven't starting modeling classes yet or anything but now with your advice I won't go "overboard". Thanks lots !!!
( PS I'm your biggest fan ever !!!!! )

Hi tyra.Im a Japanese girl living in hawaii for a while and watches your show every single day!
I have a dream to be an import model in the states because there is no such thing like "import models"in japan. I like to show my body though I dont have so much confidence in it.yet I believe I have potential for that.I just dont know what to do to become one.I dont live in the states,I dont have a visa.It is so sad that you cant be one because I am not American.I have contacted a few agencies here in Hawaii but they wouldnt listen to me when I said I was only staying here for 3 months and I even said I would come back in another 3months.I know it might sound weird to you but I am just trying to do what i can.I have seen some Japanese models working in the states somehow.I dont know how they got the job.I am not too thin to be a model and have a jiggly belly but I am working on it.I wish I had a chance to be an import model.
Thank you for reading,Tyra.I just wanted someone to listen to me.

Hey Tyra!! I'm Abby and I'm 15 years old. The only thing is, I am so self-consious about my weight. I don't even weigh 100 pounds and I'm turning 16 soon.People call me anorexic all the time and I'm NOT. I eat so much but I just can't gain weight. I don't know what to do. Maybe you can give me some advice???
thanks =)

dear tyra,
I just watched the repeat of the scam modeling i am 12 years old and now i realize what can happen in a hotel. I can't belive this can happen. But i have one question for you on one of your top models show its the season where the girls got to be in your music video when they were in mulian they were naked and had their pitures taken girl on girl can you explain that to me because this is really seams the same thing Girls shouldn't get their pictures taken at all regaurdless if it's a scam or on americas next top model. remember i am only 12 years old I learn alot from you since you are my role model.For me to say to you you should think twice about the pictures you are taken in americas next top models and the subject you are talking about on your show. I am not trying to be mean i am telling you my comment about this show topic.
your fan that learns alot from you,
Taylor

Posted by: Amanda | August 9, 2007 10:46 PM
Hey Tyra!! My name is Amanda!! And I am 12 years old!! Well, I am a HUGE fan, and I watch "America's Next Top Model every time it airs! I love that show! And when I turn 18 I'm going on that show to become America's Next Top Model!! Anyways, I wanted to ask you a question!! I was just wondering how did you ever get into the modeling industry?
Posted by: Amanda | August 9, 2007 10:39 PM
Hi Tyra,
I'm 17 years old and i really want to be a model, but i don't know where to start. I went to a modeling open call but it had scam written all over it when they asked for $500 for a photo shoot. This was for Model Search NYC. Have you heard of them? And Today i actually went to another open call for One Source Talent, they have asked me to come back for a second interview tomorrow. I feel another scam coming. I just want to know what i have to do to actually become a model. If nothing works out right now the second i turn 18 i am going to apply for America's Next Top Model, i absolutely love the show. I can't wait for the next season to start. I hope that one day i will meet you in person, maybe on ANTM. Keep it real.

Hey Tyra---
Hi Tyra! I just finished watching your show! And it is officially my favorite show now!But I really hope you will answer my question!!!! So for my end of the year trip for my school we went to a water park, and i was so excited to go! But my best freind didn't want to go, because she is very self-concious about her body! I couldn't believe whats she had said! She is persian and a little thicker than me, but definantly not big! And I finnaly convinced her to go but she wore a one-peice( which was really cute!)and she kept asking me if she looked ok, and saying that she wanted to look like me! I am skinny, but not because i dont eat, i STUFF my face! I hate people who starve themselves! And i dont want my freind to do that! I talked to her about it and she said she wouldn't live without food, so i knew she wouldn't do that! I keep trying to boost her confidence up by saying " You ARE really beautiful"! And i think she believes it but not for long! And i have seen her in a swimsuit and she looks good! She has the right curves in the right places! But i would just like to know what you would do! She loves you and i whatched the episode about your so what! campaigne and she really thought that was great! but what would you do? So if you could e-mail back that would be great! hope you write me back!
xoxo

Hi Tyra!
My name is nicole, im not going to lie i dont watch ur show all the time but when i get time to watch it i do. I love ur show and the way you help and inspire people to do what they love to do and its important to remember and let other people know that they shouldnt let anyone get them down. As for me my family members tell me that i could be a model i would like to become a model but i just can't because of the situation that i am currently in right now, im in foster care altough i am eighteen already i am still in the system and i wan't to go to school and i also wan't a chance to become a model my family and friends tell me that i would be perfect for it although no one in this world is perfect. I have overcome many struggles in my life i would at least wan't one of my dreams to come true its like one of those things where close people will tell you that you can do something that you never really thought about doing and now i have given it some thought and i wan't to become a model although i have no money to pay for an agent. Well it was great writing to you and hopefully i hear from you Tyra!

HI Tyra!
I really love your show and America's next top! I watch it when I can and get really great tips from it. I am 15 years old. I came from China. Today I saw your show on how to save money on makeup products. Well I learned one from my grandma. YOu know that shampoo called head and shoulders? It's quite expensive compared to other shampoos because it's anti dandruff. My grandma told me of a way to get rid of dandruff with regular shampoo and a little vinegar. It works!

Hi Tyra, I am new to your site, but not to your show. I think you are a beautiful, down to earth young woman. It is so refreshing to see someone on the air that is so transparent. I am 55 years old, but I look "almost...I said ALMOST (SMILE), as good as you. I too wanted to be a model when I was young...and did do a little bit of local stuff, but I refused to put out anymore money to those people you talk about that prey on young girls. I had children at a young age, so I had to get a regular job, and my money needed to go to my kids. I filled out the application to apply to be the next American Top Model (at my age), but I got cold feet. I feel that there should be a show that shows beautiful women of age, who still look good, so that it will inspire young women to want to take care of themselves, so that they will look good when they get older. My husband says that Cover Girl should pay me to wear their make-up, but of course they only use celeberties for that. I have pretty eyes like you, and I think that if a product really works, they should represent it with someone that it really works for (regular folks). I get complements all the time from all kinds of people on my beauty (that's what they say, not me). Don't get me wrong, I don't think that I'm all that, but, I can stand next the the best of them on t.v. who have the money to keep themselves up. I have been blessed with youth (I give thanks to God for it). I don't do anything but wear products that agree with my skin. If you want to see a picture of me, I'll send it to you. If you think you would like to do a pilot show on older women who are the BOMB...I'm your woman. Stay the sweet, loving girl you are, and keep doing what you do honey. Your new fan Patricia
