Hi Tyra,

Oh my gosh, I'm so excited to ask you this because I know how incredibly awesome you are!!!!! I'm 16 and I live in North Lawrence, Ohio and I LOVE the Backstreet Boys, especially Nick Carter. So, my *WISH* since I was 5-years old is to meet Nick Carter. I'd love to meet the whole group, but if I had to pick ONE, it would be Nick.

I know you hear this all the time, but I have absolutely NO connections (because I want to be a singer and actress too) with any celebrities or people who work with celebrities except YOU!

Please, please, PLEASE, Tyra, I've wanted this so long and I'll talk to you on the show if you want me to with Nick...ANYTHING it takes, I just want to HUG and TALK to Nick Carter!!!!!

Thank you, you're the SWEETEST person EVER!!

HI Tyra,
My name is Thierra Ellison. I am a 25 year old wife and mother of 2 beautiful girls. I have been following your career every since I saw you in a Victoria's Secret catalog. (My X BF was in love with you!!!) I watch your show every morning, and am a faithful viewer of America's Next Top Model. I think its so cliche to say im your biggest fan, but i will say that i am in great admiration of you and the relationship you have with your mother. I can relate to a lot of things that you do, and experience. Such as the show when you interviewed Nichole Richie, and had a nice little shopping spree at the 99cents store. (lol) I was rolling on the floor laughing. I consider myself a huge bargain shopper. My dream is ro be a boutique owner. I am a aspiring fashion designer and I have dreamed about owning my own boutique since i was young. Having to face a lot of challenges throughout my life, being homeless, and alienated from my family, has caused me to lose confidence that I will ever make it to where I want to be. Which is successful. But At this point in my life, despite the still many challenges, I am focused, and ready to work hard for what I want. With my success, I know that I can finally supply a satisfying and fruitful life for my family like I've always dreamed.

Dear Tyra,
First of all i'd like to start off by saying how much I admire you as an entrepeneur. My name is Vorachon and everyone tell's me my name sounds like a designer's name. I am a male student that attends high school in New York City and would like to get an opportunity to pursue a career in fashion or at least get proper training or an internship. Although I come from a a financially unstable family my mother who currently works in the fashion industry herself helps me work on my portfolio. I have completed one mini fashion show and would like to know what's the next step?

I Love You Tyra!
Thanks for being a role model to both men and women!

HI,TYRA MY NAME IS JONATHAN GOSHA I WATCH YOUR SHOW ALL THE TIME AND I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED 2 BECOME A SINGER AND PRAISE THE LORD THROUGH MUSIC AND I THOUGHT MAYBE YOU COULD HELP ME OUT. BECAUSE IVE BEEN GOING THROUGH ALOT OF FINACIAL PROMBLEMS AND I WANTED 2 SEE IF YOU COULD FIND OUTSOME INFORMATION BOUT SUNDAYBEST THE SHOW THAT PREMIERS ON BET PLEASE COULD YOU GET ME SOME INFORMATION ON IT AND CONTACT ME BY PHONE ARE EMAIL. AND BY THE THE WAY I WOULD LOVE TO DO A SONG ON YOUR SHOW SO YOU CONTACT ME ANYTIME LUV YOU ALWAYS #1 FAN.

Dear Tyra,

I am a young female (23 years old) and I am currently going to school to become a accountant (my goal is to get my CA... I was told to go the practical root).

I have a PASSION FOR FASHION!!!!! The idea of shopping alone just makes me shiver! Because of this I have a dream of being a profssional shopper. Getting a new clothing/shoes... just makes people feel good about themselves! It allows people to become that person they always wanted to be and I would love to help people become that person.

I just don't know how to start or where to start... Is it possible that you could shine some light and help me make my dream come true?

Thank you Tyra,

I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO GO ON A SHOPPING TRIP WITH MY TWO CHILDREN WHO ARE NOW 26 AND 20 MAY SOUND ODD BECAUSE THEY ARE OLDER NOW BUT LIFE FOR US HAS BEEN A BUMMER BUT i AM HOLDING ONTO FAITH THAT THINGS WILL GET BETTER!

Dear Tyra,

I am a young female (23 years old) and I feel like I have so many goals and ideas, but I just don't know how to make half of them happen!

I am an accounting student and hope to get my CA. I enjoy accounting (I was told to go the practical rout), but would love to become a personal shopper or a buyer!

I have this PASSION FOR FASHION!!! To be quit honest... I find that shopping/finding the perfect out fit/ shoes can make anyone feel GREAT about them selves! I enjoy it so much, that when my friends ask me to go shopping with them and I don't have any money (because I am a student)... I feel just as good when I am choosing out fits for them!

The confressions of a Shopaholic would best descibe me! By any chance would/could you help me to achieve my dream of becoming a personal shoper?

Thank you Tyra,

hey tyra my name is rosie n im a great fan of your show,although the episodes are usually a couple of months behind i always watch it!.Most of the topics you have done have really moved me and inspired me so much.Its gonna be funny to know u have a fan at the end of the world,i live in AFRICA my country is TANZANIA,and i currently study here.I thought of how i could get in touch with ur show this is my one and only option and hope,so before u decide to erase this pliz hear me out.I have one huge problem that i have never found a way to solve it because my parents could not afford in helping me,at the age of 4 i had a hot water accident which left me with severe burns on my thighs and right leg,its been 14years now and still no change has happened the burns are still there and i can say my self-esteem is very low.i dont know if u'll ever see this but i leave it all to God to help me make u come across this,i Really need your help,Please.with sincere adoration,Rose-linda Shetto.

Hey Tyra My name is chloe' and I'm 18 years old. All i want to do is meet you maybe someday that will happen. I wish that you can make my dream come true just like you made mindy's dream come true when she got to meet fergie..... Tyra I know so much about you!!!!!!!!!!! I'm like your ultimate FAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tyra all i do is talk about how one day that I'll meet you and we'll be eating BBQ ribs. Tyra you know that your my inspiration. I remember sitting in front of the tv when I was about 5 years old and me telling my mom that i wanted to meet that pretty lady. I didn't know your name at the time until I got older. Tyra your my hero and i couldn't ask for more but to meet you. Tyra I told my cousins and friends that if i had gotten the chance to meet you I would pass out then get up and relaps again because i wouldn't thunm its true. After all of that i would collect myself and talk to you. Tyra if you can make this happen to me for real I would never forget this day in history. I want to be like you I want to help out young girls. I want them to know that just because bad things has happened don't mean big dreams don't leave. I always say that if you don't fight for what you want then you don't want it bad enough. I want to meet you bad enough. I even anted to go on ANTM but I'm only 5'3 that was my way of meeting you. Tyra PLEASE I'M ASKING PICK ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All i do is talk about you and write papers about you. I even scored a 100% on my english paper that was the first. I either score a c+ or below. I know that one day I'll meet you even if its by accident but I'll meet you. I think that I have so much to offer and have so much to say to you. Tyra I think that I'mm your biggest fan. And one last thing I won't call you Tyra Banks the whole time. I know that You think that its weird. I'll be normal and treat you like your one of us. This would mean so much to me. I'll write an essay to prove to you that I want it....I WANT TO MEET YOU.......... That's what I've always wanted to do.

Hey Tyra! My name is Ayana and the thing I want to do most is spend a day with the ever so sexy, and talented Chris Brown! He is such an inspiration to me! But the thing is I want to meet the real Chris Brown you know, not the celebrity but the person. I'm not one of those crazy fans that has pictres of him all over their wall and room. Although I do have pictures of him but that's besides the point! I just want to have a fun time with him and know him as a friend! Please Tyra make this wish come true! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!

Hi Tyra,
I have always wanted to be a Celebrity Fashion Stylist! I have a degree in Fashion Merchandising and I have since made an attempt to relocate from GA to NYC 3 times in an effort to gain professional experience, and establish a (real) career as a Celebrity Fashion Stylist. I have held several positions related to my dream career such as Visual Merchandising for several specialty retailers however my ultimate goal is to become a fashion stylist and for the last few years I have not been employed in my field of interest at all.
Tyra I am so passionate about pursuing my aspirations to become a stylist and I don't care how long it takes I am not going to give up, I know that my perserverance will eventually pay off! Thanks for listening! :)

Dear Tyra,

If I could have one wish it would be to meet my birth mother. I'm sure you get several of these request all the time but here I go anyway. I am a single mother of 2 boys and my adopted mother passed away 1 yr ago. I know that she always wanted me to find my birth mother but I could tell she would have felt awkward if I had reached out to someone other than her. Know I believe is the time for me to start searching to find this other family my boys and I don't know about. I am ready to learn and share this experience with them. I think that it would be fantastic to find my mother, father and maybe another sybling. Its time to find out who I am and where I came from. I am going to stay positive and true to this search. Thanking you in advance for giving me the opportunity to ask for this wish.
