Hi Tyra! I am 37yrs. old,married with 2 kids.One is soon to 16 and the other is 2yrs. I would love to be chosen to have a complete makeover. I sometimes feel pretty and try to look it but deep inside of me i don't. I feel ugly and don't like to smile due to my gap in my front teeth. It's been really hard for me my life story of heartaches starting in 98 which the list to long to type. Specially the last 2yrs. In this day and age it's hard raising girls. Specially when you do have a good girl and that has a good head on her. She was raped and beat and now the boyfriend she's with come to find out is violent and now she's prego and soon to be 16 and in stage one of cervical cancer. I'm starting thru all this seeing who really is my friends and tired of the stress and keep praying there is light at the end of the rainbow. I don't tell my husband or anyone there are times that all i want to do is cry anymore. I try to be the best that a parent can be an stay strong and try to keep myself up an keep my head held high. It's getting really hard to do so. My 2yr old, he keeps me on my feet all the time an my mind off things, but once he goes to bed all i can think about is my daughter and the heck she's gone thru. What really makes it bad she lives in a crisis prego home cuz law enforcement said she needed to go to keep her protected from this boy, but he's still out there free. My family has been torn apart and i want them back together no matter what i'm her mother and it really is affecting her dad as well there's times he calls me from work and you can tell he's crying cuz she needs to be with us, but with where she's at we know she's safe,but it hurts me deeply. I would like to really feel an look like i use to. When i get off work all i do is come home be a mom, housewife, play in the yard with son an that's it. my neighbors don't even know i'm home half the time. everyday i do the same old stuff throw on whatever put hair up in ponytail and try to put on a happy face, but it's getting harder to even do that. I even wonder if there is hope and happiness out there anymore for us. If you don't chose me that's fine to, the way i look at it someone else is in more of need than me. That's me though i'd rather give to someone else that needs it more than me. If you read this thank you for reading it and it's wonderful to someone as real as you who cares. Your the only one in my book who has the realist show ever it's straight up and honest. we love and keep doing what you do.

Dear Tyra Show,
My name is Tiffany and I am 26 years old with 3 children and a husband. My children's ages are 7,3, and 3 months old. My father committed suicide on March 26th 2007 and the young age of 44. I came after he did it. I have been having such a rough time with it lately and i look and feel horrible. I am hoping that you can please give me a makeover for my life. It is not just about looking beautiful on the outside, but that i want to feel beautiful on the inside. after my father did this, i am not the same person i once was. i want to have the old tiffany back. i know that if my father is looking down on me he would not be happy. i have given up on my whole self. my looks and my attitude. please help me bring my bouncy old self back. thank you very much.

Dear Tyra
I am the daughter and oldest of a mother of three and over the years it has been impossible to keep a relationship with her due to our ups and downs more so, we haven't spoken in some time nonetheless, one of my biggest wish and it has been for years is to see my mother looking like the woman i think she is hiding behind all the t-shirt and jean and ponytail hairdo for so many years , overall i think she could be that young gorgeous individual who needs to enjoy life .so tyra you are only hope at this point even if you get her to take a day at the spa it would make a big difference.

hey,
first of all i love your show but i just need a make over on my room its a mess i really need one and of courese would love to know you.!!!

Tyra,
Hi my name is Ivan, and i write to you today cause my wife is beautiful. But she thinks she is very ugly and that brings her down most of the time. we dont really have any money so she never knows how it feels to have new cloths. everything we have is from purple heart and good will. im a man that loves his wife and would do and give anything for her to look in the mirror and finaly say whoa i am beautiful.

Dear ms. tyra for years i been wanting to be this beautiful person like you and beyonce... i sometimes dont eat for weeks and go in the mirror and cry i never saw what others have ..... i am always picked on because of my forhead ... im so afraid to show it cause what others may think.... i think me having a makeover will make me pretty..... i just wish i could wake up one morning and be pretty.... cause my forhead makes me ugly... i get so afraid when people look at me.... cause there probably talking about me really bad..... my boyfriend says its pretty i think otherwise.....yes he's sweet ... my self asteem went down when i started dating .... i let dudes hit on me and call me out of my name and cheat on me in front of my face..... i always wondered why me... i saw i was ugly..... now i have this great guy in my life ..... but i feel im still not as pretty because of my past relationships with guys.....i would have sex because i did not want them to leave me... they would threaten me .... and i was very scared now i dont have to do that.... i just want a makeover to regain the confidence and so people wont look at my in a funny way as they do thanx tyra you really inspire me......... stay beautiful

Trya,
I am a huge fan of yours and i watch your show everyday!!! Please consider me if you ever do a "mother/daughter" makeover show. I am a plus-size girl who doesn't have a "style". Now that I am in college, style really matters. iI have noticed that my self esteem keeps on dropping because of it. My mom, who i love so much, dresses like she is 15. She is 42. We have a slight rocky relationship so doing something like this would probably bring us close together. Please give us this makeover. we really need it. thanks in advance if you give us this and if you dont.

Dear Ms Tyra,
I hope I am not being a pest. I go in each day and read you letters that have been sent. I was looking back and I see that the letter I sent to you on June 13, 2007 is still posted but I sent a follow up on June 19, 2007 and on July 17, 2007 that are not posted. Does this mean I have been selected ? PLEASE LET ME KNOW SO I CAN QUIT WORRYING> I realize you and your staff are busy people. When I first sent in I think I might have had another email address so I thought this might be why I didn't get a response. On the phone numbers the first is work during week days and the last is home phone but you will have to leave a message and I will have to call back.
Watched your show last night. Each one just seems better than the previous one.
Like I told you earlier, I have loss 85 1/2 lbs and will have loss over 200 lbs when I reach my goal. I would love to be considered for a make over to do reconstructive surgery to take care of the excess skin.
I WILL BE EXPECTEDLY WAITING FOR YOUR CALL OR LETTER>
Rita

I would love a makeover. I am returning to the workforce after 10 yrs of staying home to raise our girls while my husband worked all this time. I only have clothes and the style of a mom and I have not really worn much makeup over the years.

Since I am returning to the workforce I would love a new look for the new phase in my life.

Hi Tyra Show your show today I want a gift bag from the show that I show to day

Hi Tyra my is LaTrice and i am in need of a Tyra makeover. The reasons i feel im in need of a makeover is because i'm 27 years old with two little girls age 7 and 1. Bascially to make it short and simple i had a rough life and im starting my life over with my two girls my kids father left me and broke my heart badly. i was up all night crying because i fell so hurt and and i prayed for god to give me a new heart. im attending sacramento city college to become a Registered Nurse and everything is going great. I feel i have lost my sense of style and i need a new sexy young smart sophicated look to fit my body and personality. i have so much to say right now that i know will not all fit. My birthday just passed and i had to make a sacifice and not celebrite to be more ready and focused on school plus i didn't have much money to do really anything. I feel that i am truly blessed but i dont feel special or pretty anymore. but anyway i just want a new look for my new life. thanks

I love your show but unfortunately don't get a chance to watch it all the time because I'm working. But girl don't get it twisted I sneak a peak from time to time in the break room at my job. I love that your show has so many different topics. I mean you get tried of Maury's your not the father and Jerry's hill billy fights. I like that when I do get a chance to watch there are topics that I'm interested in. I have to say your phenomenal. You have started so many projects and have helped millions of women who struggle with their weight and beauty. You are a role model for all women. With all that said, girl I need a make over! I be looking like a hot mess. I'm 24, I look like I'm 34 and act like I'm 54. I just need some help, some tips hell a push in the right direction. So I hope I can be a candidate for your show. See you soon, love America's next top makeover!

Hi Tyra, You're a beautiful woman and have a delightful show. The best part about it is your truthfulness and intelligence. (hard to find these days on tv).I am a 54 yr.young woman with mental illness. I attend a program here in NJ three full days a week for the mentally ill. Together with my program, which is very educational and fun, monitoring my meds, seeing the doctor regularly, I function very close to normal. ( we are not allowed to use that word, so don't tell on me :) ). My doctor says the only thing that is "normal" in this world is the "normal" cycle on the washing machine!). Anyway, not to sound too sappy,I have raised 3 children almost all alone, while working whenever my illness allowed, the oldest is a lawyer, the middle girl is the manager of a bank and my youngest boy who is 17 is disabled mentally and is finally going to make it to senior year this Sept. with much, much help from me, the child study team, meds, tutors, etc. I am very proud of him, it's been a long hard road for him. They thought I had cancer this past May and did some rotten surgery on my left breast, but thank God it came back benign. I'm sure you must be so tired of hearing everyone's problems,I could go on and on. But, my Mom once told me that if you got a group of people together and they all threw their keys in a bowl, and they all told their sad stories, everyone would take their own keys back. You must have your own problems and sorrows, and I hope and pray for you that they will pass, as you do so much for others and make so many people happy and give them so many presents and smiles. So, I really would like a make over not for my problems and sorrows, but you know what, just because I never had one, and because I never do anything for myself that's extravagant, and also because I feel I deserve one! It has really been a fantasy of mine and just could never afford it. Well, I've chewed your ear off enough, have a healthy and joyous forever. Love, Annette Hanes P.S. Never Stop Your Show!

Hi. My name is Jessica and im a 22 yr old mother of two. my oldest being almost 3(in dec.) and my youngest only 4 months. I guess the reason i would really love a make over is because since i had my boys i feel like i kinda lost myself. i havent went clothing shopping and all the clothes that i do get are used becuase i have such a hard spending money on things that are new because i dont feel pretty or confidant in them. i guess by me getting a makeover im hoping to refind myself and maybe ill be able to go out now with out feeling like a slob. and I wont always feel like im gettings started at or looked down on. thanks. Jessica

Hey Tyra! My name is Heather and i am 18 years old. I'm gonna be 19 in September, and love your show! I would really love a makeover from you because my clothes have been pretty much the same since forever! And I have been wearing glasses for like my whole life and never wore makeup! Yes, i have never wore makeup! I think this makeover would change my life and probably shock all my family and friends. So plx give me a new look! Thanks!

Hi Tara!This makeover would be for my mom,about a year ago her boyfriend of 17years shot her in the head,she was in a relly abusive relationship with this man for a long time,she was not allowed to dress looking nice or she had to be cheating theres alot more to this story,well anyway we are still struggling to put our life together,she is a single mom taking care of 3 children plus helping out with me and my baby,since he has been in jail she got her high school diploma and went from housekeeping to a mental health tech.But being lock down for so long she never kept up with fashion and she is in need of a serious makeover,plus she really desevre it.

Hi Miss Tyra!!! My name is Amber and I just turned 20. I come from a nice little town in Kentucky. Raised by my grandparents my style has been very modest which im proud of yet really comfy and laid back. The only thing about my looks I ever really obsessed over was my hair and blush. I have really thick hair. A few years ago i saw Hairspray and ever since became obsessed with ironing my hair (with an actual iron it works faster and easier). and the blush thing I have a problem with putting too much on i have a collection of what my dear sweet husband calls my clown pictures. Sweet ain't he, no I love him very much so. Anyhow, I went thru rough times now my life is pulled together. I got married to my best friend March 28th 2007. And a couple months later we are blessed with the wonderful news that I'm pregnant. Because of things I endured as a child doctors always said I would never be able to have children. So we are truly blessed. With all that said I gained so much weight being with my husband, girl, he cooks, good to and boy do I eat. Plus being pregnant I weigh around 155. Which is sometimes hard to be comfortable with beacause I always was 125 you know, and having skinny clothes and skinny friends. I sometimes resort to my husbands tee shirts and wear the same pants everyday. Can't help it tho they're the only ones that fit. God knows I ain't made of money. Not too mention I had to quit my job being that I'm high risk of having another miss-carriage. So it's hard sometimes not wantin to ask anybody for help. I know it's not my place nor thier responsibility. My husband does everything he is truly wonderful. He provides so well. He said comin' up here soon when he gets his bonus he will give me money to go shopping. I really need clothes like crazy he hates my black dress pants. (the ones i wear everyday) So thats cool evert girl loves to shop. My problem is I need direction in what to wear that fits and flatters me. Being pregnant I use that as an excuse to not put my blush on or iron my hair I know I don't look as fun and nice looking as I use to. I would love to look in that mirror and just love what I see. That feeling of "you better watch out amber is on fire". I would love for my husband to hear me proud and strong of what I see on the outside. I know I ain't perfect, never will be. But I do know I got potential of being a hott momma!!!!!!! That's my wish. Thank you for your time I hope you get a chance to read my story. Thank you again. ~Amber

dear tyra im 13 and my mom is 32. i really thinks she needs a makeover because she never dresses up anymore ever since she had her 3rd baby. she cant fit any of her clothes so to work she just wears her old nurse clothes and she's allowed to wear casual clothes. she usually just wears her hair up in a ponytail and i always ask her y she does that & she says theres nothing else she could do with it. she thinks i dont appreciate anything she does for me and i wish i could show her how much i do appreciate her by winning this makeover for her. i really want to show her how beautiful she can look.

hey tyra!!

I really need your help.I have huge self-esteem problems.People tell me all the time that I'm beautiful.But i have a really hard time saying thank you because I'm afraid people will acuse me of being vain.And when I look in the mirror I just see someone who is beautiful.I've tried make-up but,nothing that I have tried seems to work.Can you please help.

p.s.your my idol!!!
