I have a christmas wish. I have tried many times to post this comment but my computer keeps saying there is an error. Sorry.
But my christmas wish is for my mom, step-mom, aunt jo, and my step-sister to get the makeover they deserve. There's many reasons why I want them to get a makeover but if I wrote them all, you'd be reading a short story. But the main reason is b/c I love them with all of my heart, and their happiness means a lot to me. I would much rather prefer to see them happy than I would myself.
Thankyou for reading.
Your's Truly,

This has been my 4th or 5th time commenting to you. everytime I do try to post my comment it says that there is an error. So sorry if I'm getting on your nerves. I'm writing to ask a huge favor from you. My mom, step-mom, step-sister, and my aunt Jo mean a lot to me and I love them with all my heart. I was hoping that for christmas they could each recieve a makeover. I know it's asking a lot from you but it means a lot to me to see them happy. I would just be happy to see them smile when they got their makeover than I would be if I got gifts this christmas. Their happiness does mean alot to me and I'm not just saying that, so If there is any way for my christmas wish to come true I would really appreciate It. Thankyou for reading this.

hi tyra my name is jaylyn coleman.i am 19yrs. old and just recently in april i was diagnosed with breast cancer.i have a 2yr. old named jayden who i had at home by myself and just last week another little girl named janaya.both babies were premature,i delivered jayden at 30 weeks while my mom was out of town in my upstairs hallway and janaya at 25 weeks in the ambulance as soon as it pulled into the hospital.jayden was born with hydro-encepholocel and has had three surgeries,1 to remove the sack of fluid in the back of her head and 2 more to have shunts placed.i was told she was going to be blind but she has proved us all wrong!she is a beautiful,busy 2yr. old and although she is behind she is very musically inclined.any song she hears she will sing and she doesnt even talk that good.well tyra as i said earlier i have breast cancer and when i found out i was pregnant instead of getting an abortion i decided to keep the baby and stop chemo.i lost alot of hair and my skin is not so great and i just dont feel pretty anymore.tyra will you please help me get my spark back?

Hi, again. I think this is my third time writting to you. N/E/Ways, I'm writting to you to ask a favor, I know it's a lot to ask for but I need your help. I have no idea what to give my mother, step-mom, step-sister, or aunt Jo for Christmas. Christmas is my favorite Holiday b/c 1.) I love to cook even though I'm not that good at it LOL. 2.) I waist a lot of money on buying everyone gifts. I love to shop for people, it's a bad habbit, I'm broke all the time. 3.) My birthday is on the 22nd of Dec. I'll be 19 this year, I'm so excited! N/E/Ways, I was hopeing that maybe you could help me give them a makeover. I'll admit, I don't have a whole lot of money, I work at Arbys in Scottsburg IN. I don't make very big checks. But I want to do something very good for them for Christmas, they deserve it. My Step-sister Lisa wants to be on ANTM. She's pretty and she has long legs. I thought that maybe trying to get her a makeover for christmas would make her feel like a model. My step-mom doesn't believe that she could do it and everyone thinks that you have to be extra skinny to be on it. I don't think that's true. I've seen a couple of beautifal women on ANTM that weren't extra skinny. Lisa is skinny but she's not anorexic. She plays soccer so she is in pretty good shape. N/E/Ways, I just want to help her out. She's a very beautiful girl. So, please, if you can in any way help I would really appreciate it. Thankyou very much for reading and listening even though you can't hear me talk. Oh! I also want you to know that I do watch the show and I'm sorry if I don't mention anything about it if I comment to you. I do like the show and what you do is really great, and you've inspired me with your So What campaign. I'm not skinny and I'm not big, I have a belly on me but I like who I am. Don't get me wrong, I would love to be toned and thick, but not skinny. I for one thinkg that being skinny isn't a good thing. Just please keep on influencing people and keep being a role model and keep on inspiring people. Thankyou so much and sorry for rambling on like I did.

Trya,
I can't say that I watch your show, but two other people in my house do. My wife and step-daughter. I am writing on behalf of my wife. She is beautiful to me, but I think like most women, they are pretty hard on themselves to look good and compare themselves to other women way to much(my opinion). When my wife was younger she had her front teeth knocked out with a tennis racket. Needless to say painful, but over the years and with some bad denistry work, her teeth are not doing well. We are in the process of the top getting fixed again, and it is hard on her. Fake teeth, she cant bite into anything. Now when we gat the money, we will work on the bottom row. I am not sure what your make over is about, I heard it mentioned on the TV. I don't know exatly what it entails. I know women seem to like them though! Anyways, I am in the US Navy and my wife has stood by me through moves and some pretty tough times. If I could get the chance to get har a makeover, especially from you and your professionals, that would be incredible. It would make her feel great about herself again even though I hope she knows she is always beautiful to me. Thanks Tyra,
Ryan

Tyra, my name is Pamela. You have been my role model for a while. You have inspired me to become a model because I believe that anyone can do it if they really wanted to. Everyone is so beautiful in their own ways. I have wanted to be model ever since I was little, but I don't think that I could be a model because of my smile. When I was little I had a lot of ear infections and I had to take antibiotics. The medicine eventually took away all the enamel off of my permanent teeth. I have always felt awful about how my teeth look. I got made fun of for my teeth all through elementary and high school. Even at work I get relly bad comments on my teeth. One of the people that I work with has given me a lot of faith though. She asks me almost every day that I work, "Have you applied to be on America's Next Top Model yet?" Each time I tell her no. she tells me that I could be a model if I wanted to. I have gotten a lot of comments on how I could be a model, but I just don't think I could because of my teeth. Please help me if you could. Thank you so much for being an inspiration to me. Thanks again.

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.

Hi Tyra!

I applaud you for being such a positive influence & driving force for all the women out there (especially the young ones).

I'm writing about my friend Janice. She's a nurse in one of Boston's biggest hospitals. A couple of years ago, her fiance broke up with her. All of us were so surprised with the breakup since they were already planning for their wedding. It took her awhile to recover. We have been encouraging her to start dating again. But it seems like her low self-esteem is dragging her down. Making it harder for her to meet other people. She drowns herself in work: taking double shifts most of the time. She told us that she doesn't mind becoming a spinster at all.

We have been friends half our life time (since high school). Janice is a beautiful, intelligent, loving & caring person who deserves to be loved by a good man out there. I know that a makeover for her is just one step to boost her self-esteem.

We visited New York City last August 10, 2007. We wanted to go to one of your shows but i guess we missed it.

I hope you can grant this make-over for my best friend.

Thank you very much. You take care!

DEAR TYRA, I AM WRITING TO YOU BECAUSE I THINK THAT I SAW ONE OF YOUR SHOWS WHERE YOU HELPED A WOMAN GET NEW TEETH AND I COULD REALLY USE THE HELP ALSO. AS WELL AS YOUR MAKE OVERS. I AM A 43YRS OLD A SINGLE MOM OF 5 CHILDREN. I AM OVER WEIGHT, UGLY AND I HAVE A PARTLY PARILIZED ARM THAT KEEPS ME FROM FIXING MY HAIR LIKE I WOULD LIKE. I ALSO HAVE A VERY LOW SELF ESTEEM. I THINK THAT I GREW UP WITH A TYPE OF ADD THAT MAKES ME SLOW AND DUMBER THEN OTHERS. I KNOW THAT YOU MAY NEVER READ THIS LETTER BECAUSE YOU GET TONS OF THEM. OR EVEN IF YOU DO I WILL NEVER HEAR FROM YOU. BUT IF I WAS TO GET A MAKE OVER FROM YOU I WOULD FEEL LIKE A QUEEN. AND IT WOULD BE THE MOST GREATEST MIRACLE THAT GOD COULD EVER GIVE ME. THANK YOU FOR HELPING OTHERS THE WAY YOU DO. AND I PRAY THAT MAYBE YOU COULD AND WOULD GIVE ME A CHANCE TO GET A MAKEOVER BY YOU.

Hi Tyra!
I first of all want to say that I think that your show is wonderful! I am 31 and it captures my attention and it deals with real life issues and I love that!

I watched your make-over show and I thought that you guys did a great job! My bestfriend is in need of a make-over as well. She is 41 and she recently seperated from her husband and she is not feeling her best. Her outside does not match the energy that she has on the inside. She has been "dead" for 30 years. She has a complaint about everything concerning her body with the exception of her big brown eyes, she uses those. She has Chrohn's disease and the meds that she takes breaks her skin out and she hates it. She is a really great person! She doesn't get the chance to show off her "beauty" and I know that if you grant this for her it will boost her self-esteem and confindence! So please help me make her feel like a $1,000,000.00 I LOVE YOU!!! Dorenda Sprowl

Tyra-

I really enjoy your talk show as well as America's Next Top Model. I am writing to you on behalf of my mother. While I of course would love a make over (seriously, who wouldn't?) I think that she is much more deserving.
My mom has has been diabetic since she was pregnant with me, about 32 years. For the past 10 years she has battled kidney disease as a result and last November she began dialysis 3 times a week. At that time we began the search for a suitable donor for my mom. I am happy to say that I was lucky enough to be a match and was able to give my mom a kidney on March 27, 2007. It was an incredible experience to be able to give someone a better quality of life and she has been doing amazing ever since. In order to be eligible for the transplant my mom had to lose a lot of weight and is now adjusting to her smaller size.
Unfortunately when you are chronically ill for so long I think it is hard to adjust to being so much healthier. I would love to see my mom get a makeover and see what a beautiful woman she really is. My mom has dedicated her life to her family. She raised four kids, cared for her ailing parents, and helps me care for my 9 year old son as I am a single mother.
Anyway, I would love to honor my mom by helping her be as beautiful on the outside as she is on the inside and if you could help me out that would be super fantastic.

HEY TYRA!!
My name is Amy and i am a big fan of yours. i admire you so much and i often think about the values life has to offer and you are truly blessed. I am 19 and i want to do something with my life but not sure exactly what it is. I have to motivate myself to be able to walk to the park and shed the pounds and like you i eat what i want. i live in texas so ribs and brisket are very fufilling. you once talked to a girl about being insecure. you talked about how when you go out there is the girl that all the guys want and you wonder why they want her , its because she is confident in who she is. well i try to think about that and i have gotten better within myself. we need more women like you, beyonce,alicia keys,angela and vanessa simmons to incourage girls like me to go out there and help grils who cant seem to get there feet on the ground like myself.I appreciate the time you took to even want to get to know your fans knowing our spirits can be lifted becasue you have such a big heart and i congradulate you in all the success that has become of you!to transform into a girl with questions to a girl with my feet moving forward and my eyes more clear,a make over for me would be like a million bucks! lol God Bless!!
