Hey Tyra, I just want to say first that i LOVE all of your shows. All the way from Fresh Prince to ANTM and the Tyra show. I am 17 years old. When i was 16 i got married and then got pregnant with my beautiful daughter Mckaylie. I have always been a little old for my age and being only 17, it shows. I have no clothes that i can wear because of being pregnant, and i have no clue what to do to make my post pregnancy belly look good in anything. I have some NAPPY hair that would be lots of fun for your stylists. I dont know what to do with it to make it look decent so i could really use your help. Makeup---yeah right, i have too much going on with being a senior in high school, with a 2 month old baby, and a husband who works hard in the military. I could really use your help!!

Tyra,
I am writeing this for my wife she is 42 and always putting her self down saying she is fat and ugly but i dont thank so she is a hard worker and mother . Do you thank you can make her fell better about herself with one of your makeovers Thanks becky's husbun

I tried to enter this....for the contest and it kept having
a server error...so I am trying this.

Dear Tyra,
I was going to be selfish and say i should be chosen for this makeover.
Then it dawned on me....
Aside from my horrible stretch marks, acne scars and HAha deformed feet I would never show on national television. :)....I am not all that bad.

My mother on the other hand.
Has been struggling with random illnesses and diseases for the last 11 years.
She lost her job as a film commissioner
and her finance/best friend of 10 years died shortly after.
She raised me pretty much on her own w/o support of my father or his family.
Put herself through college...I even had a blind babysitter ...
:)
She has went from having everything, including beauty ....to
having no medical insurance or a house
of her own
....She was adopted, so I am all the family she has..
and, I don't have much to give myself.
....even with her lack of income she still finds a way to help when I am in need.
As well as anyone around her in need.

.....Her body and face are showing the illness ....scars and loss of pigmentation in her face ....make her look older then she is.
loss of hair due to the infection in her skull, yet
....truly my mom is still a beautiful woman.
But, she deserves a day of someone reiterating that aside from her bias daughter haha.

please !! give her a break.
......she has worked her whole life...to watch a mental/physical illness
take it all away in a blink of an eye.

If this is all I can give her .....then please please help me with that :)

sincerely,
Lindsey Shelton

TYRA!! Hey lady!
I never win these things but I thought i'd try! I just got married 6 months ago and my husband acts UNinterested in me...everyone tells me I am beautiful but I am always feeling that I need to convince him that I am.
Lets see...I am 5'9, blonde hair, bright blue eyes, thin, I have been told I look like Cameron Diaz...I dont know. I think she's hott...maybe I need to change my hair?? I dont know. Maybe I can just send you a pic and you can tell me what is wrong w/ me. lol.
I have been told since top model started that I should sign up. Being that I just got married, I dont see that happening. (He hates the idea of men looking at my body sexually...(as he should I suppose.) I see it as art. He see's it as porn basically. :)
I dont know if he is jealous that I seem to catch people's eye?? Or if he really isn't interested in believing he married a pretty girl.
ugh. I guess I will hear from you if you read this.

PS if this posts like a thousand times ....I AM SO SORRY!! Lol. I keep getting an error that it didn't post :(

Hi Tyra, I love your show and I record it everyday since I have to work. I have a great candidate for your makeover shows. My best friend has had a very hard life. She had her first child shortly after highschool and then got into a relationship with a very abusive man. Not only was he abusive but he was also a meth addict.She was too scared to leave and was with him for 5 years. She ended up getting pregnant by him. After this she got up the courage to leave him. She gained alot of weight with her pregnancy and was not able to lose it for a very long time. She has now lost 100 lbs but not in the right way. She got sick. No one knows what is wrong but all of a sudden she couldnt eat without getting very sick. for the past year and a half she has been going to doctors trying to figure out what's wrong but she dosent have much money and her doctors act like they think that she's crazy. I have seen her have her stomach attacks and she is definately not crazy. She goes thru so much pain. She hates her body and her clothes. There are a couple of different things that I would like to happen for her. I would like for her to get a makeover so she feels better about herself but mostly I would love to get her help so she could find out whats wrong with her so she can get better. She is beginning to be afraid that whatever it is will kill her so she put me in her will as guardian of her children in case something happens to her. I love her so much and I want her to be happy. I think a makeover would help greatly but I think that finding out what is wrong with her would make her life so much easier so she could treat it. Her stomach attacks can put her down for a whole day sometimes. I hate seeing her in pain. Please help me help her.

Hello Tyra,
I would like to start by saying that I love your show! On mornings that I have classes, I make sure I log on to the website to check out what amazing things you and your guests have done that day.
I am writing because I am a 19 year old college student with a husband and a one year old son. Before I had my son, I loved my body and I loved my look. All of my clothes used to fit just right and my hair was always great. But during the fifth month of my pregnancy, I was put on a very strict bedrest since my son was trying to 'escape the womb' too early. I could not do anything! I could not even sit up! The only thing that I could do was eat. And let's just say I ate myself from 150 pounds to 230 pounds and I'm still carrying this weight today. I'm only 5'3" so I know how unhealthy this is for me. I try not to let it bother me and I truly want to lose the weight, but I get so busy that I can't find the time to even take care of myself. And aside from the weight issue, I can never find the time to do anything with my hair and my clothes don't fit anymore. My husband and I are college students so you know we are broke! I also work part-time as a beauty consultant, but it's definitely hard to consult people about their beauty when I don't feel beautiful myself. I love myself but I wish I could just look at myself and be happy again. It's like I've just completely lost any sense of style that I had. I've tried to cope with this weight gain but it's hard to when I don't even have any clothes that fit! I thank God for my husband because he is a great man who sincerely loves me regardless of the weight that I've gained and the confidence I've lost. He does everything he can to 'boost me up' and I really appreciate it. But Tyra, I really want my confidence back! I want to feel beautiful again for myself. I'm reaching out to you for help.
Thanks for listening,

Dear Tyra
My name is Amanda. I am 27 years old and a mother to two wonderful boys. I would love to be made over by you and your team. I had a hystercomy at the age of 22 and have not been able to lose weight since then. I am engaged to a man whom I have been with for 4 years. We have not set a date b/c of money.
But even more than me getting a make over I would love for something special for my kids.
Devin is 6 and is dx with pdd/autism and I have pulled him out of public schools b/c they were not treating him right.
Joseph is 8 and is dx with bipolar level 2 /aronald chiari malformation/asthma/miagraines. These two boys deserve to have something really special. I have not taken Joseph out of school yet b/c I have not had the money to take them both out and he is doing really good in school right now.

Please help in any way you can.
Thanks
amanda

Dear Tyra: Im a 46 almost 47 yr old woman, who has 4 children and 11 grandchildren. I work and go to school...never can afford a real wardrobe because im only think of my teenage daughter now. I dont make alot of money and only have for my bills, so i basically buy a thrift stores for myself. Im tired of looking bummy, i have been on weight watchers to help loose the pounds i have gained and lost 20lbs. YEAH! But now my clothes either dont fit or i still look like a bum. I work in a law firm and majoring in Human Service and will be graduating this spring. I really can use some help for the new and improved me. HELP!!!

Dear Tyra,
I am in need of a make over so bad, my teeth are horrible and my acne is horrific. I have tried everything for my face, and i think that at the age of 17 i am too old for braces. Tyra please help me look as good as you. I want good teeth and a pretty face for when i get married. Please this is more than i could ever ask for.

Thank you,
Teresa
