Dear Tyra,
I am different from all these other girls!
I am a proffesional female impersonator by the name of Mariah Candy.I am writing you for my friend kim.. I call her divalicious lollipop (her drag name for fun)! She is the ULTIMATE FASHION EMERGENCY!!! I have helped all I can but,if she were to go on your show she would be so ecstatic! I would accompany her of course. She talks about you non stop. She watches your show faithfully.She just needs work from the top to the bottom.
she doesnt know im doing this but,if we could come out i know i could get her to go! Even if for her just to meet you and nothing else would fullfill one of her dreams. She is a fashion blunder, a madmouiselle don't. Tyra please help!!!
sincerlely yours
Mariah candy aka Larry

hey tyra! i just got done watching your show with chris brown as your guest. he is so fine!! i love your show and i think you are so beautiful and talented. i wish i could say the same for myself. my mom and dad tell me all the time how pretty and wonderful i am but i feel like they are my parents and kind of have to say that. im just all around ugly, my body is unbalanced, my skin is grosse i just dont know what to do. i have an acne problem bad, ive had it since i was 10 years old, i saw your commercial about the pro active and i tried it but all it did is blow my face up worse. ive tried everything under the sun, i hate it so much and its killing my self esteme and high school years, if you had it and your skin looks like it does now, girl you did something right because your skin is flawless. i guess i just wanna feel my real skin instead of bumps. im really embarassed to go anywhere now, im so active at school and people are always looking at me and all i want to do is hide. im also really tall, im 5 feet and 10 inches. im 16 too, ive been that tall since my freshman year. im use to it but i have alot of trouble with clothes. i hardly have any jean because i cant find any long enough, and if they are long enough they are to big, way to big. nothing really fits my body right. ive figured out that the only stores around me that carry my sizes are really expensive and i cant afford them. it just makes me feel terible, i hate being tall, if i was short i would wear heels every day, because i love fashion and i dont know how to be fashionable wearing flats every day, but i try to do the best that i can. i cant do my hair or makeup right either. all my life ive been hearing people say how much talent i have and how im gonna go places with my beauty. i just dont see it. ive always wanted to be a model when i was little, when my mom would tell me the bumps were just a phase. i watch americas top model all the time and i watch it enough to know that you dont want an ugly duckling with horrible style and skin like me. ive modeled, danced, cheered, and even took singing lessons. sure they make me feel great but they dont change the way i feel on the outside. it would mean the world to me if you could give me some pointers, anything would be helpful. you are a tall, smart, smooth skinned model. what's your secret? Ive gotten to where i will reject the cutest and nicest boys so i can save them the trouble of looking at me. please help me, i dont even have to have the makeover, all i want is advise. im a strong believer in God and i believe he has made me this way for a reason but i dont think he intended on it affecting my personality this way. im a strong individual, ive been through alot of teasing. sometimes i like to think of it as an obstical of life, but you cant always be the tough one.help!!!!!
love rachael.

Hello to the most beautiful talk show host in America! I have definitely got issues.
I am 37 yrs old. A few years ago my appendix ruptured and I was held in a hospital for 8 days without them knowing what was wrong. On that 8th day, I gathered enough strength to walk out(barely) to transfer myself to another hospital. When I got there, they took one picture and was hysterical! They knew automatically that I was not supposed to be alive. I was scheduled for surgery the very next morning. I ended up having an emergency hysterectomy. I was 34 yrs old then and overwhelmed with pain and having to deal with my body going through the shock that I will never reproduce. For the last 3 years, I've been on several different medications and have been depressed since too. Being menopausal at this age is the hardest thing I have ever had to endure and in fact, I'm still trying to hang in there. The hot flashes are terrible. I can't stand it sometimes. I cry at the drop of a hat. I don't have energy to do my hair nor do I have the energy or the self-esteem to better myself. Men don't look at me and I don't blame them because I am the most depressed, the most unattractive woman I have ever seen. I started smoking cigarettes alot and my complexion sucks because my hormones are topsy turvy so much that I break out all the time. When one pimple goes away, 5 more come. I have given up basically on a lot of things especially having a relationship. I'm never happy. I can't afford new things so I am double depressed walking around with the same clothes I've had for several years and even they are getting too small for me because of my excessive weight gain. I am in dire need of a GOOD feeling at least. I hate myself and I am prepared to spend the rest of my life alone because of it. I don't have any family or friends around me so the way life is going for me, maybe its for the better. I have sunk to an all time low. It's like, the surgery turned off that light I used to have inside me and for these few minutes, I wish it could turn back on again.
I watch ANTM and I know I have it in me to shine but I just don't have it to shine with. If you never get this message, don't worry, my life won't change for the better no way. But I do want to thank you and your staff for the opportunity to vent my ugliness.
Take care Tyra and keep up the good work.

hi tyra, I am a 22 year old Mother from manitoba canada, I have a 6 year old step daughter and a 14 month old son. Since I have had my son I have lost a few pounds and none of my clothes fit me right. Having two kids moneys a little tight. I love fashion and want to be wearing what is in. I don't have alot of time to get ready and I am more worried about my family then my self. I hear all of these horror stories and see women that don't take time to take care of them self. I need a look that is my age, but i am also a mom on the go.

thanks a bunch.

I think you rock and are a great role modle for women all over the world

Hi Tyra, my name is Stella from Nairobi, Kenya (East Africa). I am fun of your shows. What interest me most is the positive impacts you have and hope I hear you give to the people you host in you shows. I want to say thank you, even for me here I have greatly benefited and I always look forward to see the next show if am home. Please I want to ask for your help. Right now I have a big, big problem with my scalp I hope you can advise me on what to do or use. I have consulted dermatologists without much help. Forgive me, but I very much admire your hair, so full and looking healthy. I want something wonderful like that .To be honest I have been asking for courage to write to you for a long time. My problem started three years ago, I developed some sorts of blisters I couldn’t understand on my scalp and my hair fell off mostly at the center of my head. A doctor gave me grisoflavin tablets and metrogyl and other ointments. Later I consulted a dermatologist who did some test and said I have some fungal infection and was given medicines (the ones given on the attachment). I go for clinics and continue taking the same doses and right now am SO TIRED, and no improvement, the scalp is still red, itchy, no hair, and a lot of dandruffs which is very embarrassing. Though the wounds are gone I try not to scratch too much. I feel like am in some kind of an experiment. They also said I could have got it from an infected seat in a bus or train because I travel a occasionally for long hours from college in a neighboring country because it did develop around that time on my first trips, could it be a cause or had it being in my blood stream because it has refused to disappear. I have tried all I can reach for. I have tried washing the hair with herbs like aloe vera and neem but nothing. I am so desperate but I am afraid that I might use some thing and it end up being dangerous especially products that contain sulfur which I am allergic to. Right now am using keto plus shampoo (glenmark, India) which I was prescribed for. I believe you can help me, my hair was very long and beautiful it was a precious thing I had to make me fill great, and forget the rest especially when you are not privileged to have other good things to show, and you wish you can change them like the ones I see on extreme makeovers, there no such things here. A secret is that I don’t have sexy legs I was born with problem on one of my legs, it was corrected with surgery but my legs are totally different and I cover them with pants no skirts because of too many annoying comments and questions from people but thank God I can walk. Now with my hair gone, it’s really boring and stressful always to be wigs and be teased ‘orangutan’. I want to stop these medications I know it’s not healthy and they are also ruining me financially. When my hair will be back and I believe it will, I want to relax it I haven’t done this in a long time and I want to do it with a good hair relaxer please give me suggestions for good products for a black woman’s hair. God bless.thanx.

Dear Tyra,

I’m writing you today on behalf of my dear friend, Anne. She is a single parent, devoted and supportive mom and to her girls, family and friends. No one would ever guess the problems and disappointments Anne has both faced and overcome because of her jubilant personality, warm and vivacious smile and never holds a grudge. Anne walks into a room with a million dollar smile while showering friends and loved ones with hugs and kisses.

Set Backs/Disappointments Anne has faced:
• Dropped out of Jr. College
• Little or no financial support from daughters father (first father died)
• Directed and decorated a wedding but has not been fully compensated
• Working a “dead-end-job” with little or chance for advancement
• Applied to be a flight attendant but was turned down
• Youngest daughter graduated from high school with scholarships and high honors but because financial aid paper work was incomplete, was denied entrance into college
• Breast cancer survivor
• Mounting financial needs

As a friend, I would love to give Anne a gift of encouragement that will lead to opportunities for her to use the skills and talents she so desires to use and break free from the financial obstacles that have held her captive.

A friend…

Hi Ms.Banks,

My name is Leila I am 15, and I am here to speak on behalf of my mother. She needs help. She has been stuggling with weight gain and personal issues. I know she is going through alot of stress because over the past 5 years, she has had about 2 mild strokes.
She tries her hardest to look nice everyday, but i know she wants help with her image and I'm only a young teenager. Every night I sit in my room and think of a way to help my mom feel better, but I can only do so much.

I am the youngest out of 5. It's just my mom and I in the house but I have 2 brothers and 2 sisters. They know that my mom is ill and they still treat her badly. She tries not to show it, but I see her cry at times, and it makes me feel really bad when they dont even pick up their phone when she just calls to say "hello."

If my mom could just get a make-over, it would really prove to her that I will be with her always and forever. I just want her to know that in this world she has me... I really just want her to know that I care...So if this wish of mine could come through...I would be even more grateful then you (or anyone) could ever imagine.

Please and thank you,

Hey Supawoman

I send this message on the behalf of my mother Cherly Darlene Shamsid-Deen. This is not a plea for me to be on your show I feel that my mom has been through hell in order to make me feel better. First ever since she was a child she was just like you and me when we were young as she was made fun for her size and that she was skinny just like me and I can't be sure but it has affected her self-eestem. Later on she was supposed to go to college after her high school graduation but then her parents had died and she was left alone to care for her younger brothers and sister. Later on she got married but the marrage did not last so she got a divorce but that was not enough to stop her. She kept going and kept surviving, and then when she was 31 years of age she had me Keith Anthony Smith and was strong enough to put up with my crap, my disease which was hell for both of us, and dealing with a man who did not want anything to do with us. She still moved on and is a huge inspiration to me, even when she was taking care of me she still went back to college to get her masters in business technology but then the college did not give her what she deserve but still she sacrificed so much to make me happy just like what your mom had did for you when you were a kid. All I ask is that for one day just one day to make her happy, please I ask can you give just one person who sacrificed so much just to make me happy a day to make her feel good inside and out. You have our Email address and phone number, I hope you hear us out.

Sincerly Keith Anthony Smith

Well, where do I start.
I am a single mother of a beautiful 6 year old daughter named Akira.
She is the light of my life. Although sometimes I wish I had the confidence I used to before I was pregnant to show her how to love herself. I think I lack that ability right now, and it kills me that she sees all these stick thin people in magazines. I think there should be more plus size models in the industry then there are.To show little girls that there are roll models in every shape and size.
I'm trying to teach her that no matter what her body is like when she is older- she needs to have respect and love for herself before she allows anyone to enter her life.
The reason I feel I want a makeover is because I don't think I have enough love for myself to portray that to my daughter.
I have very low self esteem, and wish I could do something about it!
Thank you for your time!

HEY TYRA!
HOW ARE YOU? I WANT TO SAY THAT I LOVE YOUR SHOW! I WILL MAKE THIS SHORT BECAUSE I KNOW THAT YOU DON'T HAVE ALOT OF TIME ON YOUR HANDS! WOULD YOU BE DOING ANY MAKEOVERS THAT YOU COULD GET FOR THINGS SUCH AS LASER HAIR REMOVAL, ETC? I HAVE ALOT OF PROBLEMS THAT IF NEED BE I WILL DISCUSS THEM PERSONALLY WITH YOU BECAUSE THEY ARE HEALTH RELATED. IF I DON'T GET THE OPPORTUNITY AND PRIVLEDGE TO SPEAK TO YOU PERSONALLY THEN I WOULDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT MY BUSINESS BEING OUT THERE. I DO REALIZE THAT IT WON'T BE MUCH OF A SECRET IF I DO HAVE THE HONOR OF RECEIVING ANYTHING ALTHOUGH I AM NOT COMFORTABLE YET TO POST IT. I HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU SOON SO I CAN GO INTO MORE DEPTH WITH YOU IN REFERENCE TO THIS.
THANKS SO MUCH!
