Hey Tyra!! I am an exchange student and since I got here i cant stop watching your shows!! I love them both!!. I think you are a very intelligent woman and just wondered if you can give me some advices I would love to meet you in person!!!

Thank you for your time!

Hi Tyra,
I am writing you about my sister. I just don't know what to do for her anymore. I try to get her out the house, to meet someone, or just have the old energy she used to have. She wants to act and for a while she was going on auditions and working toward getting teeth implants but now she doesn't do anything. I don't know if she is depressed or what she won't talk to me about it. We are a close family but when our little brother died she took it really hard, I think, because he was one of her biggest supporters in living her dream. I thought she was moving on and trying to find a way to obtain her dreams but she seems stuck. This year her best friend died and you can really see the change in her. I ask her about auditions and she says she is not pretty enough, I ask about the teeth implants and she says why bother she can't afford them besides she's needs to grow up and start being an adult, just like everybody wants. I would be lying if I said I didn't think that she was wasting her time, but I just assumed that she would find something tangiable; a real career. My sister has always been unique but its like she's just giving up. I thought that actting was something that she should get over but if it means been withdrawn and moody I rather have her trying then not. She really needs a makeover. She has never been to a hair salon, gotten waxed, had her eyebrows plucked, a wears whatever she likes reguardless of how it looks.

Thanks for taking the time and please consider helping my sister. If not this episode them maybe a future one.

Sincerely,
Cheryl

Dear Tyra ;
I love your show and everything about you , you are such an inspiration to watch. I was not sure what i wanted to tell you about myself , because my life revolves around my sons life, he is 16 years old and, God blessed me by allowing him to be in my life. See after Paul turned 8 years old his disability has taken his ability to walk amoung other things. Paul never blames others or God nor his he bitter about his sitation. If i could get a make over it would not be complete to me if he did not get one also and to meet you would be something we both would cherish forever. Paul has a dieases called PKAN, which will most likely shorten his life to young adulthood.I hope we might get to at least meet you someday there are a llot of information i could share with you especially about how long it took the doctors to tell us what was wrong with Paul . A long 7 years of terrible tests for Paul most of were not competely painless either. Thank you for listening and God bless you for all the great work you do to help others, Tyra.

Hi Tyra, My name is Leticia, I'm a 22 year old single mother of one Beautiful baby girl.. I'm your average mother nothing special.. I wake up to spongebob and cereal go to bed with Dora and cereal.. I love my daughter she is my world, but tyra I'm writing for some fashion sense, I've kinda never really had any I'm more of the cartoon t-shirt with some plain jane jeans. I've never experienced the "Grown Up Style" as I put it. I need Some help not so much for a makeover just maybe some pointers or fashion advice. I Really Appreciate your time. Thank you.

hey tyra I watch your show offten and would like tickets to sit in the audience

Hi Tyra! I LOVE your show (both of them)!! anyway, i am 13 years old adn I live in Tucson, arizona. think my mom definately deserves a makeover. She is a beautiful person inside and out! The problem is that she doesn't believe it. She never buys anything for herself. She puts my sister and I first no matter what and i think she needs have something for herself. It's about time she gets pampered!!!! she even waits many monthes before she gets a hair cut for herself just so that my sister and I can get one (we have very little money) My mom deserves a makeover!!!

Hello Tara,
Today I recv' some Tara Mail:} as it told me Hay Girl! You look like you could use a make over just turning thirthy years of age:} Well, I did not get upset but would love to take you up on that offer. See I have been this same old dull women for a long time.I having been wearing the same pony tail style for about 12years. I have long hair and everyone who I allow to see it always tell me that am crazy for not wearing my own. When my two boys see it they can't seem to stop saying how pretty it is but I don't know what to do with it because it curls up. My cloths say boring with a little please take me off and burn me:{ I am suppose to get married in Dec. 07 and he have seen me look this way for 5years now and he is begging me to get the huff back. Tara I really need your help. If you do pick me you have answer my prayers. Thank you and keep up the great work.

I just need a new makeover I never know what makeup to get, its to light or to dark.I just want to look different for my birthday on nov 28, O heck I want to look sexy classic forever! shoot.

Tyra I admire the way you execute this portion of your show, the makeovers end up working wonders for those that you choose. However I do believe that with my assistance the makovers could be even better. I have been trying to obtain an interview for your show for a year now. I do believe that if I was able to be apart of your show, I could enhance it tremendously. I am a recent graduate of The University of Michigan and I would like to go into the entertainment field in the areas of PR first and foremost, but also in fashion, modeling, singing, photography, dancing, etc. I have been blessed with gifts that I feel as if I need to share. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Tyra, I love your show. I think that you are and inspiration to all women around the world. I watch your show and wonder what i can do to make a difference in the world. I seem to always come in last. Well i grew up with a family full of men and seems like i can never get ahead when it comes to looking like a women. Please if you could help me i would be more than grateful. I have had my times of hardship and for that i thank god because it has made me a stronger women than i use to be. I always seem to put me last and i just want once to be first and then i can continue for doing for everyone else. I hope you can help me.

love your show

Dear Tyra,
How are you doing?
first off my name is Rebecca I am 25 years old
and I have had a VERY ROUGH life I was raped a few times growing up and it has over come my life completely,and ever since I have had a fear of men and became very depressed so bad that i was diagnosed with server panic disorder and advoiant personality disorder and agoraphobia
its a fear of being in open places i cant go to the store to shop without feeling dizzy and start to panic and feel like im going to pass out so i pretty much stay home.
But in 2002 I met a man named Bobby and he was like my Angel almost like God himself sent him to me and brought light back into my life but im still unable to go out to places.
I have been through so much since we got married i have lost 5 babies the last i found out was a girl but my womb was leaking fluid and she passed away last january
and so every since 2003 i have had about 8 surgies for my reproductive parts and in may of this yr i had to have a historectomy
so i cant have kids and i try to keep my head up but its hard..But my husband is what keeps me going he is always there no matter what . then we had a house fire and lost alot of things so that added to our stress it seems as if we start to get ahead something knocks us back.
if i had 1 wish it would be to be able to buy him new rims and tires for his truck i know that seems silly but that truck has takin me to the ER times than I can remember and he cant affor to have it done his tires are so bad that he drives very slow going places for fear of a blow out ..I wish one day i can get him some nice rims and tires so he wont worry about that cuz when he has to drive me to the er or the doctore he worries he will have a blow out and not get me there on time or fast enough he told just 2 days ago on the way to er when i had to go he turned and said to "if the tire goes out, dont worry i'll carry you the rest of the way"
and i really think he would have if it blew out I love him so much i wont nothing for me i never do i will go without everything to give hime his wish one day for that some people might say just buy some rims and tires but when your broke and you have to take care of someone 24/7 its the last thing on your mind..but i guess i have takin up enough space typing..you might not even read this but i wanted to write you anyway because i just love your show and you and i think you have a beautiful soul and your mother reminds me of my mom so much Good luck in your career and all points in your life Tyra never let anyone break your sprit because i can tell you have a alot of love for people and may God Bless you always Tyra..
my quote that i use and tell everyone and i hope you use it oneday on your show is "Everyday is a Gift, That's why it's called the Present"!!
Sincerly,
Rebecca, from Tennessee.....

Im a mom who has dedicated the last 5 1/2 years to my daughter and i dont have time to shop or even go anywhere. i work almost 24/7 and i have not went shopping for myself in that 5 1/2 years. and my daughter calls me fat and im just not looking like im 22. i think i look 30 and i want to look as young as i am. i dont talk to anyone unless there family and its on the phone. i wear i shot the minnow shirts that i get from a local resturaunt/bar. and i think i own maybe 3 others. and none of them fot me i think there all x-tra larges that my soon to be husband also wheres. he wants to get married soon and im pushing it off cause i really want to look beautiful that day... im graduating from high school in 2 months and hopefully going to college for buisness managment and i really could use a makeover. please help me tyra.

Hey Tyra! I love your show. I watch it everyday. And I think that the advice you give everybody, and the topics on your show really teach me and other people alot. I also think you are so beautiful. I wish I had a pretty face and body like yours. But the sad thing is, is that would never happen. I love your personality. I would be the same way but i feel like everything about me is stoping that. Because I dont like any of my clothes, my shoes, my make-up, my face, and my body structure. Almost every detail about my body is just so ugly. (in my eyes) I just want to feel pretty and beautiful. I think me having a makeover from you would help my personality really show and I could be the real me. It would help my self confidence about myself. I need something to bring me up. Cause right now everythin about me is just bringing me down. To be honest the one and only person that truly made me ALWAYS feel good about myself, and made me feel pretty is my mother.
:( The reason there is a sad face there is because she passed away when I was thirteen. My mom had the most faith in me. She always encouraged me to do things that made me feel good about myself. When I was little and I got new clothes from my friends or my grandparents, I would come home and model them for her. She always said are you going to work the runway for me? That always brought a smile to my face. I love her so much and miss her dearly. She was the only one that told me no matter what I was very beautiful, now I dont really have anybody in my life that does that. I also feel like I need a makeover because I do so much for everybody but me. I have two kids already and I'm only seventeen. Two weeks until I am eighteen though. I am a stay at home mom of two and I take care of our two dogs. I do ALL the house cleaning (laundry, dishes, animal messes etc.)Everything. So I never have time for myself. I dont even have much time to actually sit down and eat. So I feel like I should at least have ONE day, just ONE day to feel good about myself and to look pretty. My fiance of three years would love it if I looked pretty again. He always asks why I dont give myself time to look good. I just dont have time, hope, or even the tools to look pretty. (clothes, makeup, shoes, time) Tyra it would mean so much to me to get a makeover from you. I think that is what I need to know that I am not something that is ugly and disgusting. I honestly want to feel good and pretty. Tyra please, I am begging you PLEASE help me.....

Tyra,
i want to get the makeover from you because my whole life i always think that im not beautiful and i still think that i have 8 siblings and my 7 sisters are all beautiful and when i am around them i feel like im invisible to guys and to people who just come up to talk to them and for once i want to feel beautiful and not be in there shadow anymore and it would be a great birthday present ( october 22) ill be 20

Hello Tyra, How are you? I wanted to let you know Im a 24 year old married mom that is about to have my thrid child. I am also over weight and I dont have to much to my dress code, I mean its not out standing its just ok , I think. I think that a make over from Tyra Banks will put me in to the fabulosity scale. I think if you look good by dressing nice then it do not matter how over weight you are it makes you feel real good about your self.I think I lost that feeling along time ago and I need it back so when im out with my husband and kids i still want to feel good becouse i look nice.Also taking care of two kids and being 6months pregnent finding maturnity clothes in my size it so hard to find and expensive.Well I really hope you can help me with a make over it would make me feel a whole lot better a bout my self and my famiy and i would just love it . Thank you Deite
