I tried out for ANTM back in 2004 but unfortunately I did not receive a call back. I have a few stretch marks from when I conceived my son, do you think this would have an impact on me making it? I am 5"8.5 in height and 24 years in age. Modeling has always been my dream since I was a little girl, but now that I have stretchmarks I feel a little insecurity.

Hi Tyra,
My wish has always been for a celebrity (like yourself) to pool other celebs together to directly help a large number of people. After reading a troubling article in the paper this a.m. about so many people in L.A. being homeless and living out of their cars, I can't help but think of the extreme wealth vs. extreme poverty. Homeowners and police can't have these people parked everywhere, but where else can they go when they can't afford to rent? My wish is that a strategic plan to actually build standard housing units or purchase apartment buildings or homes to help people make their lives better and get back on their feet. Of course regulations and planning would have to be done so that this system would not be abused, but if it worked somewhat like a habitat for humanity where the people needed to help prepare the building for themselves. I really would like to see this be something without all the red tape of a traditional foundation, so that those in need can be directly helped. I feel this is a much bigger impact on a person's life. Food and shelter should be basic needs everyone is provided with. With the subprime crunch, some Americans need a little help. So, while it may never become a reality, this is still my wish. It is sometimes easy for the wealthy to forget what it is like to struggle. Some of them never did struggle financially. But for many people, their next meal or rent payment is all they can think about. To everyone reading this, please make a donation to your local shelter, food bank or Habitat for Humanity. If everyone donated time or money, just think of the millions of people that could be helped. Thanks!

Hello Tyra,
Am sure that everyone is asking you to make they dream come true in modeling. I don't know how you pick the girls, but that my dream to become a model. I currently model now just not enough for me to quit my day job. What keeps me going is my passion, dedication, and driven to get my dream. I’m 27 which I can't compete in your show anymore, but I still have faith. I have the height and the experience just not enough work yet. I think when I hit 30 I will give up; I don't think anyone will want me then. I wish you can pick me to make my wish come true. Why me people say; it the energy, the rush you get when walking on the runway, getting your hair & make up. It not all about the money it just doing what I love and what am passionate about. Please view my site at www.myspace.com/misscentralflorida. Any info I would greatly appreciate.
Thanks,
Miss Latina Central Florida,
Jessica

Hi Tyra,
I am a 19 year-old girl in Calgary Alberta, and I am a huge fan of your show and the Jonas Brother's it is sad how obbsessed I am. I would do anything to spend a day with them, anything and spend my last dollar becase they are my hero's, a true insparation and I am in love with Joe Jonas, we are very alike. They are releasing their new album in August and I think you would enjoy them and they are storming the nation with their popularity especially with their newly released tv movie Camp Rock. You should have them on, and is there anyway you could make my dream come true and get me a day with the Jonas Brothers, or to meet them or just Joe Jonas? Or go on a date with Joe Jonas? Anything would make my world, and I would die happy. Please if you could do this for me. Make my wish come true!
Sincerely;

Dear Miss Banks: I would like to appear on your show as a co-host,for a segment. I am young looking 62 year old,grandmom,confident, creative, attractive, and petite. It has been expressed that Show Business is my "forte", since I can "capture and warm-up" a crowd. I have diverse roles as a Nurse, working with cosmetic lasers, and assisting with cosmetic surgery, and fillers. My other titles include HairStylist, Owner, Instructor, and Aesthetician. My greatest success is as a single parent, with my Son's achievements profound, his focus direct, and attitude real. (My daughter-in-law's family saga is remarkable.)I believe "life is an attitude," and "life is now." I applaud you for your demeanor, accomplishments, charm, and beauty. You are an inspiration to many. Thanks for sharing the moment! C

i went to john robert powers and it was an opening call they wanted only 10 kids out of 200 and i was picked because i sang and i did a little commercial run and told them i can model.
What happend was they ask for $2,000 for me to take clasess,my mom cryed then said sorry we cant. they have a picture and info on me i was hoping they would call back and thinnk of a way but no.
ever since then my mom doesnt really want to take me to a place,i mean we call but all they want is money.
i know i told you a little tooo much but its a start for you to get to know me and help me out with starting my dream.
i can model i can sing i can dance and act,i would be a good romodel to those who dont have one and im going to keep trying my best,im doing it for my grandma too.
i understand others have dreams and i hope the best for them,they will make it.

After reading a troubling article in the paper this a.m. about so many people in L.A. being homeless and living out of their cars, I can't help but think of the extreme wealth vs. extreme poverty. Homeowners and police can't have these people parked everywhere, but where else can they go when they can't afford to rent? My wish is that a strategic plan to actually build standard housing units or purchase apartment buildings or homes to help people make their lives better and get back on their feet. Of course regulations and planning would have to be done so that this system would not be abused, but if it worked somewhat like a habitat for humanity where the people needed to help prepare the building for themselves. I really would like to see this be something without all the red tape of a traditional foundation, so that those in need can be directly helped. I feel this is a much bigger impact on a person's life. Food and shelter should be basic needs everyone is provided with. With the subprime crunch, some Americans need a little help. So, while it may never become a reality, this is still my wish. It is sometimes easy for the wealthy to forget what it is like to struggle. Some of them never did struggle financially. But for many people, their next meal or rent payment is all they can think about.

Hello Tyra,
Am sure that everyone is asking you to make they dream come true in modeling. I don't know how you pick the girls, but that my dream to become a model. I currently model now just not enough for me to quit my day job. What keeps me going is my passion, dedication, and driven to get my dream. I’m 27 which I can't compete in your show anymore, but I still have faith. I have the height and the experience just not enough work yet. I think when I hit 30 I will give up; I don't think anyone will want me then. I wish you can pick me to make my wish come true. Why me people say; it the energy, the rush you get when walking on the runway, getting your hair & make up. It not all about the money it just doing what I love and what am passionate about. Please view my site at www.myspace.com/misscentralflorida. Any info I would greatly appreciate.
Thanks,
Miss Latina Central Florida,
Jessica

Hi Tyra,
I am a 19 year-old girl in Calgary Alberta, and I am a huge fan of your show and the Jonas Brother's it is sad how obbsessed I am. I would do anything to spend a day with them, anything and spend my last dollar becase they are my hero's, a true insparation and I am in love with Joe Jonas, we are very alike. They are releasing their new album in August and I think you would enjoy them and they are storming the nation with their popularity especially with their newly released tv movie Camp Rock. You should have them on, and is there anyway you could make my dream come true and get me a day with the Jonas Brothers, or to meet them or just Joe Jonas? Or go on a date with Joe Jonas? Anything would make my world, and I would die happy. Please if you could do this for me. Make my wish come true!
Sincerely;
Krista Mahadeo

Dear Miss Banks: I would like to appear on your show as a co-host,for a segment. I am young looking 62 year old,grandmom,confident, creative, attractive, and petite. It has been expressed that Show Business is my "forte", since I can "capture and warm-up" a crowd. I have diverse roles as a Nurse, working with cosmetic lasers, and assisting with cosmetic surgery, and fillers. My other titles include HairStylist, Owner, Instructor, and Aesthetician. My greatest success is as a single parent, with my Son's achievements profound, his focus direct, and attitude real. (My daughter-in-law's family saga is remarkable.)I believe "life is an attitude," and "life is now." I applaud you for your demeanor, accomplishments, charm, and beauty. You are an inspiration to many. Thanks for sharing the moment! C

I am approximately 5 feet tall and I love to sing and dance, my passion is singing though... I hope you can help me acheive my dream, it would mean the world to me.

Hello,Tyra.
my names ashley

like the dancing and etc;
im not the type to complain about not having money,but we dont,well we do but not the kind to where my moms able to get me into a school or something.
i went to john robert powers and it was an opening call they wanted only 10 kids out of 200 and i was picked because i sang and i did a little commercial run and told them i can model.
What happend was they ask for $2,000 for me to take clasess,my mom cryed then said sorry we cant. they have a picture and info on me i was hoping they would call back and thinnk of a way but no.
ever since then my mom doesnt really want to take me to a place,i mean we call but all they want is money.
i know i told you a little tooo much but its a start for you to get to know me and help me out with starting my dream.
i can model i can sing i can dance and act,i would be a good romodel to those who dont have one and im going to keep trying my best,im doing it for my grandma too.
i understand others have dreams and i hope the best for them,they will make it.
Thank you for your time,i hope to be hearing from you soon.
Good Luck too the others as welll=)
