Hi Tyra,
I had a question. I have a 3 month old daughter,and I know everybody thinks their child is cute but seriously my child is beautiful. i cant go anywhere without being stopped and my child complimented.I wanted to get her into modeling but I know there are a lot of companies out there that just scam people or ask for outrageous fees to start. I was wondering if you could recommend a company or tell me how can I get stated the right way without gettin scammed out of my money.
Thank You so much for your help,
Brandon.

Hey Tyra,
Hi Tyra! My name is Zachary and I am a HUGE fan of your show!!!! I love it so much, when you had Beyonce on there it was so awesome because I love you and I love her, but anyway that's beside the point! I am trying to break into the modeling business, I am constantly being told I have the look but, I live in Texas which is not a huge market for modeling, and I always run into these model searches that want a lot of money, and I am not sure of them so if you could give me some tips I would greatly appreciate that! P.S. I think you should do a male version of America's Next Top Model just once so I can audition and meet you even if dont make it meeting you would be good enough for me!
Thanx!!!!
Zachary

Hi Tyra,

My name is Tracy Huynh and ever since i was little i always wanted to be a model. My only goal in life and my passion is have always been modelling. All my of friends have told me that i should go for it, and i know i can make it their someday in the modelling industry but im just a little concern of the way i look, like i know many people have said that they don't like their body and so on, but this one is different i have alot of flaws i have tons of strach marks on my back, legs, arms, butt, knees. And my legs aren't normal as many other girls out there that suppose to have shiny and smooth legs but mine is all bumpy and has some scars and it has ALOT of ungrown hair so bascially my whole leg is filled with bumps and some of my arms as well. But i always feel inscure but i always wanted to do modelling but i never had the chance, exspecially with the money and where i live. So i would like to ask you if that do i have a chance in the modelling industry with all of this flaws that i have? I KNOW that i can make it but is it true of what agencies say is that personality matters most but not the way you look? so please tyra help me out, because all i ever wanted was to become a model and prove to everyone that you dont have to be perfect like so called plastic to be in the modelling industry. No one is perfect in this world. And this is the only career that i really want to go into so basically i have no back up plan. but i am willing to give up everything of what i ahve to get in the modelling world.

Dear Tyra,

I have always wanted to become a model ever since I heard of your show, "Americas Next Top Model." You are my idol and I look up to you. I want to become a great model liek you some day.
Here is a little about me: I am 13 1/2, turning 14 in May. I'm a female Named Nicole and I live in Algonquin, about an hour from Chicago. I'm 5 feet 4 inches and weigh 103 pounds. I think that I would be a great candidate for a model. Any type of modeling is fine for me, though I prefer taking photos in Magazines or advertisement photos of some sort.
Do you know where I can get started in an agency?

Hey Tyra,
My name is Keykeana and I'm 16 years old. All throughout my life I've enjoyed modeling and also watching the shows of America's Next Top Model. Family, friends and myself believe that I have the potentional and confidence to become a model. Tyra you are my idol. I truly look up to you. I enjoy all the advice you give to everyone. It would really be a good opportunity for young teens to be able to model. Would you promote a teen modeling show?

Thank You Tyra

Hi Tyra thank you so much for reading this!!! I know you probably get soo many comments each day so I will try to make this quik.
i am only thirteen and my mom and me went to an interview with Proscouts they seem to be real and not a scam but I really want to be sure because my family is low on money and (I know it is useually a scam if you have to pay but it is just so they can fly in all the agencies wich seems reasonable)and I really dont want to lose all my familys money if its a scam they gave me a call back and I am so excited but worried because I need to help make the money can you please help me and tell me if it is a scam?

hey trya. i'm srikand. i wreight 115. and i

Hi Tyra, i recently was selected by "proscout" to go meet with top agents in the modeling industry. I've done lots of research and it sounds so ledgit but i've heard that you say if you have to pay money its a scam! I really am thinking about going and i have 2 weeks before i have to put money down and before i do that i just want to make sure "proscout" is a ledgit scouting company!
Thanks,
Terin

I never really could put my finger on what exactly I wanted to do in life.
Now I have figure it out.
Im 16 about to turn 17 next month and I think now would be a good time to pick up some speed with that career im tring to get into. By the time im 18 i could do alot more and be ready for it you know. I want to be a model.
Im gonna be honest, I come
from a small part of
new jersey "atlantic city" where it doesnt
really seem like any opportunities but I see
thats where a lot of models start. I really dont have anybody to really
encourage me so im tring to do it the best way i know how. I do need ALOT of help.
Where do I begin? How do I
find an agency that is interested in me?
I dont know if you respond
to these comments or not but im gonna leave one anyway. Jus to let you know, honestly when I came up with this decision, I thought of you and how I figure if no one will help me, I know you would.
Hope to here from you tyra.

why am i not suprised, so many interested in modeling. i have a three yerar old with an outstanding character. she is also so adrable. you should see the attention we get when we're out in public, shout i feel famous already, and girlfriend is a diva, o yes @ three. just wondering if i should get her into modeling, cause i'm sort of scared it mar ruin her. saw you're show today, by the way my daughter's name is samari su-ma-ree ( i tried :) we're black, & my name is tylon. i have five kids, i named two samari, & teon. the other one's are terry, dwayne,& tiffany. loved thie topic, loved it. if you wanna get technical black folks carry white last names. it shouldn't matter what you name your child as long as you like it. some can get carried away, because then they act different. black tammy begins to act like white tammy, if you know what i'm saying.respond if u like
Much success, t
