Hey Tyra, I love to watch your show,your the best most talented person on t.v. I am 33 years young and have two beutiful girls,ages 8 to 15. I am a cosmetologist and cannot afford to dress myself fashionably because what extra money I can spend goes to my girls and there needs. My clothes are very outdated and embarrasing. Please Tyra,I would love a tailored makeover from you! P.S. I can send pictures of me so you can judge for yourself. love ya keep up the good work.

I'm a 36 yr old female with 4 children and I'm a recovering addict of 12 plus years but it just seem like my life cant get off the ground and get better. My children are 20,14,11,and 10 and we are living pay check to pay check, going to school for human services, and still got my sanity. I jusst need a little help with myself. I'm looking out for everyone but not taking care of myself. Help me.

Hi Tyra! I would love a makeover! I'm 20 years old. I'm a stay at home mom. I don't have time to go out at all. I don't have time to get dressed, put on my make-up and get all dolled up like I used to. I had a baby almost a year ago. My body hasn't been the same since. And my self-confidence is kinda low. I think a makeover will boost my self-confidence and make me feel young again. I've seen the makeovers you've done and they look fantastic. Please help me out.

Dear Tyra,
I'm 23 years old and i have been having a hard time. On August 24,2007 is pretty much when everything changed. I was working at my job at the drive-thru and I got robbed. Then 3- days later he tried it again and my boyfriend chased after him but did not catch him. I was scared for my safety so i quit after working there a year and a half. i had take a poligraph test to prove my innocence. Since this i have been very depressed. I don't want to do anything i don't want to get up to look for a job i want to sleep all the time. My bills are piling up. My boyfriend isn't working he owns his own construction business all his bills are piling up, so he's depressed. I hate feeling like this i want to live my life to the fullest and I can't. I love animals i would love to become a vet assistant or a veterinarian, Also i love to cook i always watch rachel ray, i also have a thing for doing hair. I would love to learn new ways to put my make-up on and be stylish but i,m stuck in this sluggish rut
sincerely,
Destiny

Dear Tyra,
After reading a few of the comments I am not sure if I am worthy of posting why I think that I should recieve a make over by you. But here is my story. I am 19 years old I got married April 14th 2007. I am in the midst of going to school. I dont work right now, so I spend most of my day cleaning the house and cooking. I personaly do not like how I look in clothes my hair has been the same for a while now (My mother actually paid to get it fixed because I died my hair pink and then tried to fix it and it turned purple)! with in the last year I went from a size 1/3 to a size 8/9 (gaining a total of about 20 pounds) Right now I have 3 pair of jeans I can fit into. Most of the clothes I hace now my husbands aunt gave to me. I love being married but ever since then I have gained weight and lost interst in trying to make myself loo good. And that hurts our sexlife because I am always worried with how I look that I do not want to have sex with my husband. Thank you for your time!

Dear Tyra, I'm a 22 year olf college student. I've never felt pretty, and I've never felt good enough. I know you shouldn't let what you look like on the outside determine how you are on the inside. But it's very difficult when you go out with other girls and all the guys look at them and not you. It's hard to believe that you're pretty when nobody except your family says so. And I know that it shouldn't matter what others think, that it's what you think about yourself that matters. It's just hard, that's all. And maybe I'm just being superficial. But maybe a makeover would help me start to believe that I'm pretty on the outside, so I can start to believe that I'm pretty on the inside too. I would give a lot to just feel pretty, even if it's for just one day. So.. please, help me feel pretty.

HI MS TYRA!!
Yor are doing a great job. I like the fact that you show the world that you are more than just another pretty face. I would love to have you do a maker over on my daughter she is a BIG fan of yours. She have mastered your walk, and it has become a must for her to do every time we go to my father side of the family to vist. It would be great for her to have creative style to go along with her sassy TYRA walk. Did I mention that she is only 10 years old

hey tyra,
first of all i love your show it is really good and i also watch america's next top model every week. I love it and i love how you take plus size girls. It is very inspiring. I would really like to be considered for your makeover. I am overweight and i feel it afecting my life every day. I am 15 years old and weigh 200 pounds i have tried everything possible it is like food is an addiction. I have done herbal one and went down to 132 pounds and i felt awesome but so some reason i couldn't keep it off. Also i can't seem to lose it agian every day i run for half an hour and i can't lose anything. I feel my weight affecting me every day like i have always wanted to have a boyfriend and one of my best guyfriends who i really really liked said he would go out with me but was in fear of what his friends would say about me being fat. Also all my friends are wearing american eagle and all the name brand cloting and they ask me why i don't wear those clothing brands but i am to scared to tell them that i don't fit in them. I would really like to get some help losing this weight and I don't think you have to be stick skin most girls in magazines these days are all stick skinny. I just want to feel comfortable in my own skin.
Thank you Tyra you are a real inspiration.

Hi Tyra I love your show so much and watch it every day. I even go on your web site like every day to see whats going on during the week on your show and all the lastest trends. Tyra I'm writing to you not because I want a makeover but I know some one who deserve to more beauitful then they are. The person I'm talking about is my mother, my mother is th best person in the world. She will do any thing for her family and always go out of her way for people. She needs to be pampered for a day. I love my mother so much about 3 years ago my mother had a stroke and couldn't work no more but instead of being sad and down she always had a postive out look on things. My mother is the best mother she will do any thing for her daughters and grandaughter. After my mother got sick she she had problems with her teeth do to the medication she had to take, even with all these problems she is still able to hold her head up and be the best mother ever. For my mother to have a tailored by tyra makeover woud be the best thing for her. Thank you so much.

Tyra,
Please consider me for a makeover. This single-new mom-starting a new job&First Nations loves pampering! I could use an overall makeover: acne scarring; make-up application to suit me; hair issue; and, what clothes to pick that would work for my body. Oh, not to mention my glasses.
Thank you!

Hey Tyra! My twin sister and I really need your help! We just saw your episode where you gave make-overs to a few working women from New York City. WE ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR MAKE-OVER SHOWS! We watch and think wow our mother needs a make-over to help herself feel young again. Our mom is 44 years old, raising 4 children: Crystal:24yrs, My twin Trisha and I: 21yrs, and Samantha: 13yrs, is crabby and never a happy person. She hates the way she feels, the way she looks, and says she doesn't know who she is anymore, because she never was given the opportunity to find herself; she puts us first. She has had this same hairstyle for at least 20 yrs; has the 80's hair cut; perm with bang poof that goes to middle top of the head. . She never wears make up, and is really self conscious about what she wears and how it looks on her body. She's gained weight (we are guessing around 60 pounds) in the last 20 years. Her and our father help us three girls get through college while supporting our little sister through sports and school. Both parents recently have had major surguries, and never have time or money to spend on herself or with our dad. We feel quilty for the arguments they have and the money they don't have. She needs to start loving herself and finding who she is in order to love and help others. It saddens us to watch our parents go through life so unhappy as they are. PLEASE HELP OUR MOTHER BECOME A NEW AND HAPPY WOMAN! Sincerely, Traci and Trisha Schilling

Dear Tyra,
I am 58 years young. I have been in a few abusive relationships and have had to leave for obvious reasons. When I reached 45 years old I started menopause and 1 month later was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia the following year. In the past few years my teeth have been breaking off at the roots (which are still in my gums). All I have left is the bridge for 3 front teeth that I got when I was 21 years old and it is deteriorating fast. I had a false tooth at the age of 19, because I fell off the bike that my Dad gave me (the one time he got me anything), when I was 10 and broke one of my front teeth and it eventually died. I have 7 of my own front bottom teeth and 3 back teeth ready to go anytime now. I am terrified of dentists now, because they just want to pull them all out,because I am on disability and it only covers the bare minimum dental coverage. I can't let them do this,
because my mother bought my bridge for me in 1970 and she has since died. I can't fathom the idea of full false teeth at my age. I am single, live alone and my smile doesn't exist any more, as my hand goes up everytime to cover it. I don't have much in my life, but I still have some vanity. Can you help me get a smile on my face. It's been many years and I'm very scared and don't know what to do. Please help me.
I hope living in Canada isn,t my dream breaker.

Sincerely, Judy

Hey Tyra. I just wanted to compliment you on all of the brilliant work you've been doing to help and empower people. Im a 16 year old indian female and am surrounded by so much of negativity, that its sometimes almost impossible to tell right from wrong, im glad that the youth of today have someone like you to guide us in our times of uncertainty. I live in a small town in South Africa called Stanger. Im in high school, im overweight and to put it lightly, IM UGLY. sometimes i look at myself in the mirror and just wish that i had the guts to kill myself because i look so disgusting. i have a beautiful mother and sister. my friends all have beautiful faces and perfect figures. i dont like hanging out with them anymore because i feel like im embarassing them by being with them. they are the best friends i could ever ask for but i cant help feeling this way. i hate going out anymore with anyone because i look so hideous. no matter how much i try to hide my fat and how much of make up i put on, i still just want to curl up in a corner and cry. i know that there are millions of people that write to you asking for help, id really be very happy if you could respond to this. i really need help to lose all this weight. i know that its the only way that i acn restore all of my confidence. tyra, i dont think you know how much your show guides us and how much of hope you give us. it is you that makes me feel a little better and gives me the confidence to go on. i wish that i could meet you someday. thank you tyra.
