Dear Tyra,
I have admired your work for many years. I presently live and work in Antigua (Caribbean). I own my own restaurant and catering business. www.kesarigourmet@candw.ag
I would personally like to invite you to come to my restaurant if ever you are in the area or plan to come this way. I am orginally from Australia therefore white caucasian but I live in a predominantly Afro-caribbean society which I just love. For me being a minority makes me feel more comfortable as i get to meet more people and the local people like my attitude. I am married to a local girl and we have our son and three step daughters. Which I muist say can be hard work at times as the girls are a lot older and don't really see me as a father figure.
Anyway i should stop babbling on but remember the invitation is there and I can organize all the accomodation etc. I am the chef of the restaurant so therefore if you do come it will be my pleasure to cook for you. All the best and keep up the great work as we love your show down here in Sunny Old Antigua
Love,
Darryn

Hey girl!

I watched your one show of the top model, and there was a girl on there that was a little bigger then the rest of the girls and she got kicked off because of it. I was really upset cause you are always saying how size doesn't matter, and then seeing this i was really shocked. Models these days are TOOOOOO skinny. I was wishing she would have won so then ppl can see that size really doesn't matter, cause everyone is beautiful.

Heyy Tyra,

Hi my name is Shannon. I live in Australia and I am 12 years old. Well my most ridiculous purchase was probably when i went down south to see my dad like a year ago and i had just gotten my first phone, he gave me some money to go shopping and i went into the surf shop, i wanted to buy some thongs, well flip flops. but the ones i wanted didnt have my size. Then i went to the counter to look at the little mobile thingy's, and there was this little one i liked by Roxy. Plus These surf brands are famous for having high prices on all the small things, So I bought this thing for $14 aussie dollars. Total rip off. Atleast it was good quality. =D Bye!

Shannon.
xx.

hey tyra!
my name's Iman, i live in a little country called Oman! we hardly get ANYTHING here! i've wanted to ast since i was about 7. But guess what? i've still not auditioned for anything because we don't get the news! High School Musical 2 just came out and i am a HUGE fan, i asked my mum iff i could audition for it, she didnt mind! but the problem was that how would we know how to audition when oman doesnt even know zac efron!!
i watched your show today, about the little kids being stars and you asked them to act and sing. i enjoy both of those things. AND i'm on grade 7 on my violin, grade 6 on piano, i play in the basket ball team AND i do dance! i could be able to get into so many things, iff only i knew how. and the other problem is that whenever we get news here, its about 6 months old!
do you think i could have a chance to be famouse one day and get my own handprints in the walk of fame? please reply! even though you probably have sooo many other e-mails! thanx xx

Tyra-
I don't even know where to begin!! So many people comment on your site, it's crazy! I'm 17 years old and I watch your show religiously. Every day after school and work I watch your show because I just can't get enough of it; it's like an addiction! I anticipate the end of the school day since it airs when I'm in school. (I have to DVR it!! Gotta love technology =] )
You're such an ispiriation and role model to the young and old, the skinny and the curvy-- and you're gorgeous inside and out, girl! You're so funny yet you do so much good and help people when it's time to be serious. I also love the fact that you're the Queen of Cheap because a lot of celebs want to spend their money all on designer products..even though it's okay to have atleast SOME designer stuff. I also love the fact that you don't hide your flaws and act like a real person on the show. Some talk-show hosts are so stiff and serious and you make the show a blast to watch. You seriously are the most amazing person and I look up to you so much! I just wish I had the time and money to come to New York to see your show...that'd be a dream come true! I've always had weight issues, even though I was never overweight. You've helped me to realize and start in the process of loving not only myself, but my body. Your "So What?!" campaign is such a great inspiration to women all over the world to accept their flaws instead of dwelling on them. Every day I try to pick out one thing that I'm happy with about my body even if it ends up being my hair that day!
Thanks again and take care!

hi tyra,

i was just wondering what i could do to get a copy of the cycle of Americas Next Top Model that had the girl on it with lupus. I usually keep up with the show but i must have missed that complete cycle. i was sitting in the doctors office reading a lupus magazine and she appeared in it. i was also reacently diagnosed with lupus so it is a personal interest for me. i would really appreciate it if you answered my comment and i would be even more grateful if i could get that copy. hope to hear from you. thank you.

Hey tyra,
i was just watching you show on racism and i found it interesting how people could hate there own race. its just weird but it got me thinking about other issuses like hair colour. Im a red head and i hate it when people assume things about me and call me things. for 18 years i have been discriminated and picked on. There are 1,630,000 devoted to red headed jokes. its like blonde jokes. they are just helpful. so i was hoping you could do a show about it, and to put the world right. thank

Hey TYRA!It's bin sad here in TX.I want to make a change in young kids life as a thirteen year old girl.It's breaking my heart not just that,but my dream of acting or singing.Well,you see I live in a small town where dreams are far away .It's like we're invisble.Many producers are leaving an opportunity behind of seeing many talented kids .It's not an ambition,but a dream.I wouldn't act for fame or money,but the love of being someone.I'm afraid of getting old with out trying onceto folfill my dream and others.What motivated me was you,the african children choir, and my favorite actress Jessica Alba.You a'll are my role models.I see in those kids eyes the hope and dreams,you change people lives, and Jessica Alba as my big sister."Honey" the movie makes me realize that one person can make a big change to many lives just like honey(Jessica Alba).I just want someone to tell me thankyou and die being recognized.I myself do belive. And listen every one ...one last thing those paperazzi's out there are stopping kids of having a favorite role model and and believing in there dreams. Stop With the anorexia,bulimia,and other dumb fiction stuff it's hurting and killing everyone,famous people especially us teens girls haveing problems with low self esteem!
P.s.My model to You Tyra,Jessica Alba,and all Famous or not famous people changing alife doesn'tjustlighten you,but our country.As an hispanic kid I'm proud of America and my favorite city New york.This will probably get me no where,but it will make me happy if to some one else.Take a look at our USA flag and recgonize that we're much better than who we are.See Ya Tyra!love ya.I hope this makes a change in you too.take care.Oct.1st,2007

Hi Miss Tyra,

I caught the last two minutes of your show today. You made mention that if one wanted the latest info on fake eyelashes, to go to your website. I am here. I cannot seem to locate that info.

I am such the plain Jane. I am trying to get a new look at this stage in my life.

I have been wanting to go with fake eyelashes for awhile now. Can you please help me.

thanks,

Dear Tyra!

Hi, my name is Billie Lignos and i'm 17 years old! I live on the Gold Coast in Australia. I am currently finishing high school and studying part time at a college in Burleigh. I am doing a diploma in Beauty Therapy. I also want to study business and massage! But the whole reason I am writing to you, is because you really make me want to work hard in life and do all the things I have dreamt of. My parents aren't wealthy and they are separated. I look at your relationship with your mum and you guys always look so happy, you see my mum and I are happy we just don't have a "special" bond since she left my dad. I live with my dad and he works so hard to support me and my expensive courses. Tyra I really want you to know, I look up to like a big sister I never had. I love your shows The Tyra Banks show and Top Model.

Recently I got really sick, I had stomach surgery and it really wasn't pretty! It was the hardest thing on my family to go through. The doctors told me I may not live and i had surgery and was sick for weeks. Missed out on school, lost a lot of friends and really had a hard time! But since then it has lifted me to want to work and study hard to do everything I have dreamt of. Tyra I am not asking for anything, I just really want to thank you so much for just being you and helping me through my hard times!

It would be great to hear back from you, but I know how busy you are!

Tyra keep doing your thing, hopefully i'll be up there with you some day:)

Regards

Billie Lignos

PS Thank you again Tyra!

Dear Tyra,

Hi! I am from Sri Lanka and so glad that I was able to post a comment.

We watch your show on Channel 1 MTV Sri Lanka - perhaps not so recent ones, but we thoroughly enjoy. The issues you touch are so rare and it is so heartening to see a celebrity has so much high values regarding life. Just for that, I love you!

We love the way you say what you have to say. And your actions are like of our own sister doing stuff - You are so simple. I so wanted to write to you and let you know what a great job that you are doing and what a lovely human being you are. You always hug everybody except the porn stars!:):D I really loved the way you handled them, so forthright and no way, you got close to them! So cute! But most importantly, you gave them their due respect. That was laudable.

I so love you as you resemble one of us simple people even though you can walk so tall and proud.

I wish you all the very best Tyra with your career and with your life.

May God bless and protect you and your Mom always!

Take care!

Love you loads
Suzette

Dear Miss Banks,

""Hello"", my name is Sue,I don't usually write to anyone (including children of mine that are grown.)We talk infrequently on the phone. Miss Banks,I wanted to let you know I was once a professional photographer in Las Vegas,of all places to be a single mother of girls .My job was as Camera Girl,to take before show shots of the customers in the show room, in cassino area -not in a game,& dinning areas. (Now on my own I would call the operator for backstage.To talk with the headliner of the show,if the customer didn't want a photo.) I would ask if possible would they get one if it was with the performer? They said yes. I let them know it was the photo room calling & if they would take a photo with the fan,these wonderful performers took the time out to help me. There are many of them who are doing,& no longer doing acts now, that are in featured films.I worked in the Frontier Hotel,Minskie Show room,the Star Dust Hotel,were I met a (Waiter/Actor) boyfriend.
The MGM GRAND HOTEL,we all had to work either in dinning areas,cassino floor areas,not near tables or in show room areas.The elder King Hussain,once was there.I was able to work five of Elvis's shows at the International Hillton Hotel.While working at the Star Dust Hotel my photo manager asked if I would do after show shots.I asked in what area? He said at the Sands Hotel.It was Bobbie Jentrey's birthday party in the Emerald Room hosted by Wayne Newton.Well I went there,gave my all,on seven rolls of film from 3am-6am.Next day boss told me Bobbie Jentery never had such a beautifull photo of her before,now she had plenty of them that night. Miss Banks,these performers put food on my table,for my girls.Just want to thank them for all they do for the people who live & work there. Otherwise they have to find other work sources that aren't worthy of themselves. Miss Banks, "you are a Blessing from God" keep doing what you were meant to do,we are all here for a reason. You are beautifull inside & out. Hope to see you in a movie sometime,maybe with Brad Pitt?

HEY tyra,

i jus wanted to say i love your show. I watch it every day.

Furthermore, my name is ashley i am 15 years old. I am a sophmore in school and as you know this is the time where you have to figure out what you want to do with your life. And i have, in my school we are doing this thing called job shadowing. You spend the day with someone that does the job you are interested in. And well i love to model, i love clothes i love the whole aspect of wearing art and promoting it. its funn!! But i thought if i am going to do job shadowing why not let it be with someone you look up to and want to be like.
Sincerly, ashley
ps please write back if you can

Hey Tyra Girl,

I just wanted to say i watch your show every day and i love the hot, fun, and educational topics you cover.You are a breath of fresh air and a role model to the young and old, black white, slim & thick girls/women out there. Oh and your so corky and fun very similar to my personality. Anyway keep of the good work Miss Queen of Cheap LOL Lata.

Hi Tyra,
Whew! I just read your viewer emails and I am exhausted girl. But just to add one more. I am a 42 year female trying to get her groove back. Somewhere in the last 20 years of raising 3 stepchildren, I forgot about me. Now I am trying to start taking care of me again. I saw your show "15 must haves" and thought to myself. If I had that coat and a pair of those wood heel shoes, I could make my hubby say "who's yo daddy again". Help a sista out. Love your show. Have never written to you before. keep up the great work.

You asked what was the craziest purchase one has made....looking around my house..where do i begin?
something that stands out the most is my collection of colored glass. I have amber and green colored glass ranging form mismatched glasses to goblets, candy dishes, vases.....I spent money on these things for no apparent reason other than I think they are neat. And now I am stuck dusting these items....what was I thinking?
Something else that is crazy but I continue to do it and probably always will is my makeup habit. I LOVE MAC MAKEUP!!!!! I don't have a budget for it but i stand by it and other than my mascara, its the only makeup i will own and use. My parents think im crazy and Im sure my boyfriend does too but I love it...im so addicited to it! Example, last week I went to MAC to buy my studio fix powder...nothing else but walked out of there with a new lipstick and lipliner as well. I already have at least 6 lipsticks, 2 liners and a lipglass. Also off ebay I bought 2 shadow pigments and 2 more lipglass. Almost $100 later.....and I can only wear one at a time....lol

TYRA,PLEASE HELP ME! my name is Krys. Im 23 yrs old, from Los angeles california. First off I just wanted to say I THINK YOU ARE EXACTLY WHAT YOUNG PEOPLE NEED IN THEIR LIVES, AND YOU ARE AN inspiration. today i come to you with a huge problem that has plagued me since i was born, and you are my last hope. since i was born i have always had a condition called nystagmus. its a eye disease that causes your eyes to shake uncontrolablly, therefore i can't see as good, and each doctor i have been to since i was a baby keeps telling me i'll always have this, and i'll never be able to see well enough to drive even with glasses, and glasses don't help at all. this condition has turned me into another person, i'm less outgoing, i don't have many friends because of ths my family has always treated me mean because of it eccept my parents, but they treat me like i'm handicapp. i have lost ot on friends and boyfriends because of it, ever since i was 14 i was always trying to kill myself. people don't want to listen to me, be around me, or treat me with respect because of this disease i'll never live up to my potential if nobody wants to give me a chance at life, i don't know how much more i can take.!! to ease the pain i drown myself in drugs and alcohol, i think thats the only reason i'm not dead yet. so Tyra i know you're busy and have alota sob story emails, but mine is a matter of life and death!! if you can please find the time to research this disease, and find some way to eliminate or at least treat it i will be forever in your debt. !!

love Krys

Hello, Tyra!
I am from Manila, Philippines and I am a huge fan of yours. I really get upset when some people say bad things about you. I am dying to see you in person. That is my biggest dream. I love your shows and I patronize what you endorse in your show (if it's available in our country). You take care, Tyra! God bless you...
