HEY TYRA. MY NAME IS ALEXIS AND I WAS WONDERING IF YOU WERE GONNA DO A SHOW ABOUT SMILE MAKEOVERS.WHY? I AM A MOTHER OF THREE GIRLS AND AFTER BEING PREGNANT SMILING HASN'T BEEN THE SAME. WHEN YOU GET PREGNANT IT TAKES A TOLL ON YOUR TEETH. NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO THEY CHIP EASILY AND THEY JUST FALL APART. IT IS VERY HARD FOR ME TO SMILE AT MY HUSBAND AND KIDS BECAUSE I ALWAYS THINK THAT THEY WON'T LOOK AT ME FOR LONG BECAUSE OF MY TEETH.
I JUST WANT MY SMILE BACK BUT IT IS VERY HARD WHEN YOUR HUSBAND IS THE ONE WORKING AND WE DON'T HAVE THE MEANS FOR PAYING FOR DENTAL WORK.I WAS WONDERING IF YOU COULD FIND A LITTLE SPACE IN YOUR HEART TO HELP ME FIX MY SMILE. I ALWAYS ASK GOD TO SEND AN ANGEL DOWN FROM HEAVEN TO GUIDE ME TO A BETTER SMILE.I WAS JUST WONDERING IF YOU WERE THAT ANGEL. THIS KIND OF SHOW WOULD NOT ONLY HELP ME BUT IT WOULD HELP ALOT OF MOTHERS IN MY POSITION. THESE ARE THINGS THAT PEOPLE DON'T KNOW HAPPENS DURING PREGNACY. IT NEEDS TO BE TALKED ABOUT AND STOPPED. PLEASE TYRA HELP ME GET MY SMILE BACK.

TYRA!!!!!!
I wish i could go to your show its the best. But i live days away from it, so i just watch from t.v.
Anyways, my mother i in her late 30's and she is always so busy trying to keep up with the house, the bills, and the kids. There is 10 in total. So as you can tell with so many kids she hardly has anytime for herself. She definetly deserves to get a makeover and for once get to relax. To hide away all the fatigue she shows.
Thank you Tyra, & hopefully you could give my mom what she deserves.
Love, **Daisy**

Dear Tyra,
Hi, how you? I am a 21year old mother with two little girls and a husband.I barely ever have time for myself. I resently just had my youngest daughter six months ago and have lost a few pounds, but I have nothing wear. I really really need a makeover from head to toe . So Can You Please Help Me.

Hi, Tyra,
I'm a volunteer at a children's home near Washington, DC. The staff person that I'm assigned to work with there mentioned that you had done a makeover of a daycare and "wouldn't it be great if Tyra could do a makeover here at St. Ann's Infant and Maternity Home". I promised her I'd find your website and submit the idea to you. The unit of the home that we work on currently has approx. 20 children residents aged a few wks old to 9 years old. There are other units in the home for children up to age 13, as well as expectant mothers and new mothers attending both childcare and educational classes. It is a wonderful facility that could use some freshening-up. Many of the children in our unit have come to us from Child Protective Services for a variety of reasons, and the care that they receive at this home is far more important than what the surroundings look like. But... it would be nice to get some help with a makeover, to make it a beautiful as well as loving environment. I know that every staff person and volunteer associated with the home would pass over any opportunity for a personal makeover in order to have the facility madeover -- the loyalty, love, and dedication of this staff is remarkable. I hope you and your staff will consider St. Ann's if you can.

Keep up your great efforts, Tyra!

Hi Tyra! I watch the show as much as I can and every day i'm amazed at how much the show has done for girls these days. You really do have some phenomenal ideas on how to transform the lives of young and older girls every where, whether it's a new idea, a new way of thinking, or finding a great way to help boost anyone's confidence. My request is a little out there, but I cannot even begin to tell you how big of a role it plays in my life every single day. I am 19 and I have never had any sort of dentistry done on my teeth. It was hard growing up the baby of the family alongside an older brother and sister born with perfect teeth, not to mention my parents who are the same way. When I was in junior high, a lot of my friends started the road to straighter teeth with braces, yet I was still stuck with all of my baby teeth. I went through my parents divorce, and a traumatizing move from my hometown (population of about 5,000) to the city, before my freshman year of high school and my looks were not an issue. Too much was going on around me that I couldn't care less. By my junior year, things started to look up and I finally started to show some maturity inside and out. My teeth were starting to become an issue because everyone around me had gone through the braces phase and here I was a girl with a 17 year old face but the smile of a 12 year old. It felt extremely awkward to come to terms with the fact it was time to grow up.. which I did mentally.. but how could it all come together when the outside was so off base? Little did I know what was to come the older I got. I will spare you the details of my senior year and missing out on senior year portraits because of my smile. Here I am, 19, trying to figure out what my niche is in life, and I am constantly outdoing my self every hour on the hour, every day. I can't tell you how much money I invest in make-up and anything hair related, trying to cover up this flaw. My teeth aren't just a little crooked, we're talking extremely bad. If you looked at me without a smile on my face, you wouldn't be able to tell. I would look like a normal 19 year old girl to you. But then I am forced to smile, and I can't even imagine what goes on in people's heads when they see the shape my teeth are in. Even though it's really hard to look into the mirror and attempt a smile, I still take very good care of my teeth and I whiten them as much as I can. I do a little bit here and there to try and possibly make it all a little better, but at the end of the day it is useless. The make-up comes off, the hair goes up, I crawl into bed and the image of my smile, and what could be, is all I can see until I fall asleep. I refuse to even come to terms that outside beauty doesn't matter and it's all in my head. To be honest, i'm kidding myself. I literally feel like I am missing an arm without a beautiful smile that so many people have and take for granted. It sounds selfish but it's true. I actually just recently opened up to my dad about it because he could tell my confidence and mood was sinking by the minute. It's gotten to that point. It's so hard to even talk to my family about it much less a stranger. After I finally opened up to my mom, she agreed something would be done. However, it never was, and I was stuck with broken promises. I've always been stuck with broken promises from my family regarding this issue. By now, it's like a broken record being played. At my age, obviously I don't have the income to be able to do and afford such a thing. I have done so much research on cosmetic dentistry and I have so much faith in the fact it can and will be done. But, to be perfectly honest, I feel like i'm wasting away day by day.. just waiting for that moment. It's a harsh reality to come to grips with. I would love to obsess over something I can change, like getting into fantastic shape or changing my hair color and make-up. You can only imagine how much stress and exhaustion this would take out of my life! Anyways, I just thought I would throw it out there. There are so many other people with bigger wishes and needs than mine, but when it comes down to it, everyone is different when it comes down to what they feel like they want and need. Thanks for reading, and keep up everything you do day in and day out. It all really goes the distance.
xoxo, Alyssa

OMG TYRA IM LIKE ALWAYS WATCHIN UR SHOW I LOVE U !

Dear Tyra,
First of all let me say that I love your show and I applaud you for being another strong woman and a great role model.I want you to put some of Mary Kay products to the test.Im a new beauty consultant and most people think that the product is for "older people" but once I got the free makeover I loved it and was inspired to join the team. I want to share this experience with everywoman who loves to take care of their skin and look beautiful, so look at my website and try something. I recommend the 3-n-1 face wash and the moisturizer, but the satin hands and lips are my fav along with the microdermabrasion. This stuff really works and the makep is flawless. The best part is that it's cheap compared to other products that don't work. Please try and tell your audience to check it out at www.marykay.com/divineone.Thank you so much and keep up the great work.

Dear Tyra,

One thing I haven't seen done on your show is where you have dramatically changed the appearance of someone's skin. Let me explain...

See, I have a skin pigmentation that I can not seem to get fixed because I am a woman of color. I have what is called hyperpigmentation. These are scars left from acne breakouts and of course picking at the pimples. Yeah, I know it's my fault, but i've had acne since I was about 10yrs old, and I haven't been able to get rid of it since. Hence when the pimple picking started, now it is a habit that is hard to break. Because of that habit, I now have dark spots over my entire face that I can not get rid of. I have tried ProActive, Scar Gone, Cocoa Butter, you name it. NOTHING WORKS!!! I have gone to dermatologists and they say they can not, will not, and are afraid to work on my skin because it will become worse since I am a woman of color. Is there any relief Tyra? Can this problem be fixed?

Imagine being called "dot-to-dot face", "leopard girl", and "cheatah" all your life because of hyperpigmentation. Imagine a little girl coming up to you and asking what's wrong with your face.

I've been married for 3 years to my talented pianist childhood sweetheart, I have a 7 yr old with a learning disability (whom I swear he is one of the most athletic little boys I know), and a comedic 5 yr old that I love. My husband tells me i'm beautiful and that I don't need to change a thing,but I still feel it is a problem. I absolutely love him for it. He works so hard for our family, I don't know what i'd do without him. It's been a while, but my children used to rub on my face and tell me that my face is hard (meaning rough) from pimples and dark spots. Is there anything you know about that maybe i've missed? I've been working on this problem for 12 years, now it is time for a change.

My husband and I got married in the living room of our home with my sister-in-law and a friend as our witness. My husband's former music teacher who is an ordained minister married us. But because of low funds, since we were only about 19 years old when we were married, I don't have pictures of us together as a married couple. When we have enough money, I am having a wedding since I have never had one. I even have sketches that my sister drew of wedding dress ideas that I came up with that I will get made for my dream wedding! I'll definitely want to take pictures to remember my first actualy big day, but i'm afraid that i'll look ugly if they took close-ups. I refuse to take wedding pictures or have a future anniversary wedding without my skin taken care of. Please tell me of a skin care remedy that will rid me of this problem! Or do a segment about these type of skin problems on your show. I am determined to find a cure!

Thanks for reading my long comment Tyra.

-Veronica

Hi Tyra,I enjoy watching your show and America's Next Top Model. I have an unusual question to ask. Have you ever had a request to do a makeover on a man before. I'm not asking this for me, but for my husband. I will try to make it short, but I would like to tell you little about my husband Ben. First of all, we have been married for 15 years. He is 58 and I am 38. I have 2 wonderful step kids and they are both married with kids. We have 5 grandkids. We are a loving family. I'm talking about plastic surgery. My husband has been teased a little by the grandkids about his wrinkles on his face. We both have large families and I know he also feels self conscious when he is around others, even though they are mostly family members. I know it kind of makes him sad but he never says anything. The other day I was trimming his eyebrows and plucking them and he said to me. I wish you could win me a makeover so I could get something done to his eyes and forehead. I know he would like more than that if he could. He retired from working with Vons grocery stores after 31 years. He now does a few gardening jobs for a little extra money. I can only work part-time. We still have a mortgage of over $50,000 and I know it would be a long time, if ever, to afford any plastic surgery. This is really hard for me to ask, but could you be of assistance to help him get some surgery to help him feel better about himself? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. He does not know that I am sending this to you. Thank you for your time and God Bless.

Dear Tyra,
My whole life has been a transformation or a testimony. When I was about 10 years of age I had very low self-esteem. I felt like no one loved me and no one cared. I have always had two loving, caring, supported parents so there was not any reason why I thought that. I later found out that I was a depress child who had to learn to love her self as well learn to TRUST others.It was a trust issue.Not too long ago when I was in Graduate school the trust issues arised again. I still have troubles with trusting people. I'm trying to get in the entertainment business so the trust factor is very important.
People want to be around me because my confidence shine bright. I do remember to humble myself as well.I call myself DIVA because I am fabulous, I love my self, I am strong and I got the Lord on my side. So whom shall I fear. I reminded myself that I'm a child of the KING. I look in the mirror and kiss myself and say I love you. To be a sucessful actor/performer confidence is very important. I have to stay grounded and root at all times because the biz is not very nice. I believe that everyone has to have encourage them self and have someone to tell you to stop tripping and get it together! I'm about to move to NYC and begin a new journey.
My goal is to be another positive inspiration in the biz and show that you don't have to destory yourself or others to be sucessful. Thank you for being a light for the women out there.
"To Thy on self be true!" because the truth WILL set you Free!

Sincerely,
Ms. Akia S. Fleming aka
Always Staying Fabulous

Hi Tyra,

I think that it would be fantastic if you could do dramatic makeovers for mothers who have been robbed of their pre-baby bodies. Some women are fortunate and they just bounce back...I was one of the unlucky ones. I am a 23 year old wife and mother of two beautiful girls. The most recent addition weighed in at 8lbs 2 oz. Through the course of carrying 2 babies to term, 2 c-sections and nursing, my body is a far cry from what it used to be...I am left with stretch marks from my ribcage into my pubic region and on my back. My breast sag and droop almost to my belly button. My stomach hangs from the excess skin. My husband wants me to wear sexy underwear, but I feel refuse because the extra skin hangs over the underwear. Our sex life has suffered horribly because I am not comfortable in my own skin. I have the body of a woman 3 times my age. I feel horrible about myself. I cant stand to look in the mirror naked without crying. Its especially painful because I have always been considered chubby and I was born that way. Kids would tease me, but I managed to keep a somewhat positive self-image. However, when I was sixth grade, an assistant teacher made a comment. He asked one of my classmates to give him a pin so that he could burst the balloon that was my butt! That summer, I starved myself because I didn't want to start high school at that size. I limited my daily intake to 2 slices of dry toast and a piece of fruit. I lost about 35lbs in 2 months. When I saw an episode on Maury Povich about eating disorders, I slowly started eating more. By the 9th grade I had regained the weight and my weight slowly increased. I became obsessed with the scale. My mom told me that I couldn't base my self-worth on a number. I was happy with my body, but I didn't like what the scale said. I decided to stop weighing myself and love myself for who I was.
This was my so what moment! I was finally at peace with my body...This was until the birth of my first daughter. The changes in my body caused me to hate myself and become depressed. I started dieting and doing Taebo. But one day I cheated on my diet and I decided to make myself throw up. This was the beginning of something horrible. I continued to binge and purge to satisfy my taste for the foods that my body crave and to prevent weight gain. During this time I suffered 2 miscarriages. I slowly kicked this habit and accepted my body for what it was know instead of what it used to be. Then I became pregnant again and I carried the baby to term. I ate well and gave birth to a 8lb 2 oz baby girl. However, my body suffered greatly. I am happy with my lower body and I my husband and I love my curves. But the changes that my skin, stomach and breasts have undergone torture me physically and emotionally daily because no amount of exercise will lift my breasts and eliminate the excess skin. I feel hopeless because I am plagued with a body image that is 10x worse than the body image that I worked so hard to overcome. Tyra, I think it would be wonderful to give women like me a chance to regain our pre-baby bodies. I want to embrace my sexuality and be comfortable in my own skin. HELP ME FEEL LIKE TOCCARA...FA-BU-LOUS!!!!!

Dear Tyra,
I am a mother of two beautiful girls. I have been a fan of yours for years. My girls fell in love with you when they saw you in Lifesize. They think that you are just so beautiful. But the reason I am writing you is because I think it would be so much fun for the three of us to have a makeover together. We love doing mother-daughter stuff together when we get the chance. It would be so much fun to have a makeover done by our favorite cover model( You). I am 40 and my daughters are 16 and 12. You and your mother remind me of my girls and me. You are a really special lady Trya and a wonderful role model to girls everywhere. Thanks so much for being you.

hey there,
Tyra, I am sixteen, and recently i have been thrilled about you moving to NYC( YAY!!) Sadly, i am not old enough to come to your show and i know others feel the way i feel about this and i was wondering if maybe you can do a show with an audience filled with ages thirteen to seventeen. As kids, we go through highschool all absorbed in apperence and struggle to look "good" rather than focusing more prominent things. So, this is just a "seed" to an idea.
Peace love

Dear Tyra,
I just turned 15 and my mom and I watch your show everyday! When you have shows about makeovers my mom is amazed on the transformations that you create.It would shock her if you were able to do a mini makeover on her.She is a hairdresser and is verry dedicated in what she does.She always puts herslef last and everyone else first,so this time I would like her to be able to put herslef first.She does little to get ready for work and I believe she has little confidence in the way she looks but to me shes beautiful and I want her to prove to herslef that she IS beautiful.So it would amaze her if you could help her out.Could you please get back to me!

Hi Tyra my name is Takara i live in Waco,Tx and i am 14 yrs old. I live with my mother and she is a parent of 3. I am the oldest of all and sometimes i feel like i can never be the person i want to be with this problem. My teeth are really croked not my front row but my bottom row its been this way ever since i was a little girl and i have always been teased about it. It hurts because sometimes i dont see myself as beautiful. I think that even if i dont get this i think you should start giving people more oppurnities like this. With this problem i dont think people will take me more serisouly and for just once i want someone to focus more on my personality than my teeth. My mom has tried so hard to give me braces but she cant afford the money she has been so good to me throughout my life and i have seen her go through so much. She is just my movitation for my brothers and sisters and i just want them to see the real me for me. With Love, Takara

Hey Tyra-
You know who needs make-overs? New Moms!!!! I just had two babies back to back. Being pregnant, breastfeeding and up all hours of the day and night leaves a new mom feeling and looking pretty ragged and tired! I used to model, before having kids, and often look back at photos from my time modeling wishing I had the time and energy to put into my look again. I'm sure my husband misses the old fashionista, and I miss seeing a put-together lady when I pass the mirror. I throw my hair in a pony tail every day, I don't get time to put on make up - and with the amount of spit up & mac-n-cheese I deal with daily, I don't tend to escape from my yoga pants and t-shirt. HELP! New mommy needs a re-energizer! Mommy needs to feel good about herself again! Thanks for hearing your audience - we love you!

Hi Tyra,
Fisrt of I want you to know that you are my biggest inspiration. I watch every episode of your show and each and every one makes me want to be just like you when I grow up. You inspire me because you dont care what other people think of you, this is my problom I constantly judge myself. I think you are the most beautiful girl in the world but that isnt what makes you beautiful your constant care and concern for the world around you and your funny, kind and nice personality is what makes you beautiful. As well as your gorgeous body. Your most inspiring episode to me was the one wear you dressed up as a homeless person. I watched this episode late one night and I was falling asleep at first but suddenly my eyes flashed open- it was like a wake up call Im constatnly worried about whether my outfit is cute enough or sexy enough or whatever and it made me think-n at least I have clean clothes. Im constantly complaining and you know what..I shouldsnt be. Becuase I have a great life compared to these people. Tyra when I grow up I wanna be on your show Americas next Top Model and im gonna win you wanna know why? Becuase Im gonna listen and take every little tip you give me a trememdous amount of that becuase you Tyra Banks are Americas not only top model but inspiration leader. As I was saying when I grow up I wanna be on your show and Im gonna win after that I wanna be a model and use my money not for a glamorous life but to follow in your foot steps- but to make a difference, your about the only "star" that is so down to earth that you would take the time to help models or are being taken advantage of or take the time to step into the shoes of a homeless person. You are the only one Tyra. Those are the things that make you a beautiful person.

Love Always your biggest Fan and Follower,

Kayla

Hey Tyra my name is Paige Simpson. I have the worst self-esteem problem in the world . Other than the fact that I literally have zero friends and no money because of MAJOR financial issues I think I'm the ugliest girl in school because I'm made fun of frequently.And Know I'm going into high school with no friends and no self esteem. Can you please help me get my self-esteem level higher than zero? Then maybe somebody at school will call me pretty and maybe I'll have some friends.I'm going into Grandview High School in Aurora,Colorado which is a school of people who are all about being popular and me not having any friends would mean me getting beat up. Can you please give me a make over? It would be a dream come true. Make up and Fashion are my most favorite things in the world ,although I can afored make-up or cute clothing. I am 14 years old and live in Aurora ,Colorado and would LOVE a make-over by you.

Hi Tyra,

Dear Tyra,
I'm 16 years old and in the 8th grade I use to get talk about because of my large 4head and I use to cover it up with my hair but I stop it after u had the show so what..thank u so much

hey tyra,
i'm 16 and going to be a junior. in middle school i was always made fun of, mostly because of how i dressed. i never really had one style. each outfit could be catogorized but each outfit was a different style. in 8th grade i was forced to grow up when i had to deal with friends and suicide. my style got a little darker then. i was considered a "loser." so when the cheer clinic came, i thought it would be funny to see what people said. i ended up really enjoying it and made the squad every year so far. i'm a lot happier because of it, but when i'm not in uniform, my style is still so varied. i enjoy it and love it, but am still sometimes considered odd because of it. so, my idea for you is to go undercover as someone who dressed in a very unique way or as an extreme punk or goth. try going into some store like Hollister like that!

P.S. i really respect you and what you are about.

rock on! sabrina

tyra i have a huge nose what do i do

hey there tyra! i'm merhyll kane Flores, i'm 13 yrs. old and i'm from philippines. I just wanted to say hi, and are you doing fine? even if i miss your shows I tried to watch it! I love your pesonality very much!!!!!!

Hi Tyra,
Since i started school til the day i graduated from middle school i have always got made fun of because i am tall, skinny, and i guess a little nerdy. When i was in middle school this guy i had a crush on me told me that he doesn't like that instead feels sorry for me because my face is messed up, and that who would ever want me so that made me go into a little depressed but now that i am going to be entering High School i ask you, Tyra will you please give me a teen make over and make my confidence come back but also to show the people that thought bad about me that i can look better then what they thought of me! Well Thank you!
Adios y gracias (bye and thank you),
Lissette

Dear Tyra! My name is Trudy Guthrie-soon to be Patterson :)- and I would really appreciate it if you could give me a makeover. I haven't had any type of crisis in my life, so I would understand if you didn't pick me, but I would really love it if you did. Im 21 years old. Me and my fiance have been trying to get married for 2 years. We finally got the money up for the marriage license, now we have to wait for a miracle chance that he gets off work early so that we can make it to the courthouse to get married. We also just had our first baby boy this April!!{His name is Sage} Its the best thing in the world that has happened to us. But ever since I had him I have honestly let myself go. And not trying to at all.What sucks about it is that I've tried to fix my hair--yeah, I just messed it up worse!! We can't afford for me to get to a shop and get them to fix my hair for me. I honestly just need some help getting a better look and getting clothes that FIT!!! Before I was pregnant, I was a whole 108lbs. Which to me then was fine, now I'm 130lbs and I'm not happy here, but I don't want to go all the way back to 108lb. I think if I could get to 120lb and get clothes that fit me, I would look great!!! I'm just having trouble all around getting where I want to be in weight and look! I NEED YOUR HELP TYRA!!! PLEASE HELP ME!???!

Dear Tyra,

I used to be one of those gals who had it all together. People at work and out places would compliment me on my hair, makeup and outfits.
Now, I'm a stay-at-home mom to my 9 month-old son (which I LOVE)...but it seems like I'm always a mess! I feel like I can never pull myself together, no matter how hard I try.
I know celeb. moms have way more time and money than most of us, but I'd love to see a show on being a fashionable mom. Even for those of us that breastfeed our babies.

Thank you,
Sarah

Hey tyra,
I am 23 years old and doing this for my mother. Her name is Julia an she is 48.
There are times where she will sit there an just talk about how she would like to try something different for her look.

She is a woman who has done alot for our family. She works during the day and comes home an spends time with my father before he goes to work at night. She was there for my grandmother as my grandfather passed away. She has always been there for my sister an I no matter what. When other people needed things she gave up getting things for herself. My mother has always put other people an things before herself.

I love my mother but she needs help on knowing what flatters her figure and age. What makes her look sexy but respectful.

I feel that it would be good for her to get made over and feel even better about herself.

Please tyra. If you have another makeover day, I think it should be for deserving mothers!

Hey tyra,
I am 23 years old and doing this for my mother. Her name is Julia an she is 48.

Hi Tyra.
Ok, I honestly had no idea where to post this, or if you will read this. I am 15 and my name is Emily. This is for my mom. Her name is Vickki and she is 37. My mom has been through so much, she is currently going through her second divorce, and it has been hard. I truly believe she deserves to do things for herself. There are things that I know she really wants, but I know we can't afford! I think she is looking for a fresh start. She needs to feel confident about herself. Of course I think she is beautiful the way she is, but I have heard her talk about things she wants, like getting her teeth fixed, or breast implants. I know she deserves to do things for herself. I wish we had a way to help her achieve the things she wants to make her feel better about hersef. Can you help me?

Dear Ms.Banks;

Hi Tyra,

My name is Teri' Bowens-Jones,i am 43 years old. I am begining to not feel good about myself, due to surgerys i have had, i just been through so much. I miss having my hair done due to no one can seem to do it like i desire. When you don't feel good about your hair, you really don't feel good about you. I am not writing you for you to feel sorry for me, i wish that i could have the same hair and hair color you have, you are beautiful. When you pay to get your hair done in Indianapolis, parts be showing and i hate that. I never really wear make up due to myself not knowing how to put it on, and besides, i don't think that i look good in makeup. I just want to feel pretty again Tyra. I find myself crying alot, i have a wonderful husband, i just need to feel good about me again. Some of my surgery have lead to anxiety for instance, hystorectomy,Knee surgery, tunsils taken out. just to name a few, i just want to feel good again.

Hi Tyra,
Maybe you can transform yourself into a person living in proverty. You could see what it's like now to struggle. You could live off a strict budget and have kids to take care of. Have no car and have to take the bus. You can transform into a struggling single mother and see if you can make it.

Hi Tyra,

I have an idea for your next make over or plastic surgery show. Concerning Hands.

Hands are very important, you touch people with them and I am sure its one of the first things a lot of people look at.

Anyway, I use to think I had the most beautiful hands (I have a terrible crush on myself) and after a incident trying to save a friend from a sever beating; I got shards of glass stuck in my right index finger and damage two knuckles in the process. Also I have always had a horrible problem with sweaty palms; I feel so embarrassed to shake someone’s hands (I have even witnessed people wipe there palms after touching mine. So now because of all my "Hand" problems I have taken to mutilating my own fingers and knuckles by way of biting and picking.

Well here is my question, where are all the good hand surgeons? Is there some kind of inexpensive cosmetic surgery to fix flawed hands?

Help!

Hello Tyra,

I hope that all is well, I missed your show today and I felt really bad. But I am happy because I got some news that is going to change my life forever. I feel surprised, apprehensive, and happy at the same time, because this piece of news that I have got is life changing.

I am also happy that my twin sister came home safe and sound today.And she looks reallt good, I thank God for bringing her home safely.

I also hope that God keeps your safe, prim, and more beautiful because I know one day I am going to meet you and I do not want you to change one bit.

That's it from me today, keep loving people and keep doing your shows.

Lot's of love.

hi Tyra,
I'm 18 years old from Philippines.I'm a pure Filipina.
Well, in our school we have a wash day every Wednesday of the week,it means we don't wear our school uniform. I always do have a problem in that day. Coz, i really want to have a new clothes when that day comes.So, i shop every week.
The point is, all the nice items that I want to buy it doesn't fit to me. hmmm.. Because I'm fat and I have a big breast and big arms and all blouses won't fit in to those parts. huhuhu..
I wanna cry if i look to the beautiful blouses that doesn't fit to me.Another problem is the sizes of Filipino people aren't that big.And mostly the sizes of the items that the sell are small.And I really really wanna have a makeover.

Hello Tyra,

It's been a long weekend I miss you because I think it has been two days since I last saw you. I am not in the business of writing poems everytime I come on here, but I will try to write a short one because I love you so much

My love for you is like the love God has for his creation, It is magnificent

My love for you is like the love a father has for his first born child, only they know about it

My love for you is like the love a guardian Angel has for the one he guards, it is heavenly

This love that I have for you is not describable

I miss you so much,

With much love.

I think Tyra should have a personal makeover and practice what she preaches. I love the show but its so frustrating to watch a woman who is naturally gorgeous, can weigh 160 and have an amazing body talk about 'so what'. You are naturally beautiful. Thats why you were a model. Think about those of us watching you who don't have that natural beauty and yet you still have a makeup and hairstylist and a whole wardrobe team. How about go au naturale every show. It is so condescending listening to Tyra.

Hey Tyra

Here is a short poem I wrote you

Oh what a beautiful woman you are Tyra
What is it in you that draws me to you
I can’t even dare think about it my queen
What a marvel you are to look at
You go left and I want to turn left
When you turn right I want to turn right
Where you are I also want to be there
How is your beauty, that I feel sad when I do not see you
I get scared sometime, of what our love portend
Your smile reaches the recesses of my soul
The atoms in my body do a dance when you laugh
When my cells see you, they applaud
The food in my body is digested much better when I know I will see you
When I take a walk, I walk with you
Please, your voice is like a bird singing to me
The other day I say a beautiful bird
And Alas, I was so crazy in love, I thought that I saw you
Your harsh words fall on deaf ears
When you tell me what to do, I do it because I want to lift you up
You are the one and only woman I want to be with
Please, be by my side as we climb this mountain that God has put before us
You are like a grape, I want to savor slowly bur surely
You are like a Mango, so sweet

Hey Tyra!! I'm a 17 year old girl and I definitely love clothes, but I have a hard time finding clothes that look great and fit well. I'm short and curvy, and stores just don't sell clothes that are fun, youthful, and work for me. I'm sure I can't be the only one with this problem. A wardrobe makeover for all of us who aren't tall and skinny like the clothing manufacturers want us to be would be ideal! Love ya!

Hi my name is Chelsea and I have just recently started watching your show. I think you are an amazing person! It really upset me when they put pictures of you in the tabloids calling you fat because you weighed 160. Im 16 and I also weigh 160. I just really admire you for standing up for yourself. I think you are very beautiful, talented and brave. You are a great role modle for girls my age and I hope you continue that.
Chelsea

Tyra,

After watching this show I brought it upon myself to give myself my own makeover. But not just any makeover! I decided to makeover things that a person cannot physically see on me, but a makeover on my attitude and the way I see things ! I am a sophmore in highschool and I normally make really good grades. But I have always struggled in math. But this upcoming school year I have decided to not take the easy way out but to challenge myself! I am g oing to take not just 1 math class but 2 !! I am going to take Algebra 2 and trigometry !!! You have been my hero for forevor!!! Ever since probaly in the sixth grade when my teacher told me and my classmates to go home and think about our hero's and write an essay on them !! well ... tyra i picked you and eversince then you have been my hero !! You are really pretty and a very good rolemodel to young girls like myself ! I LOVE YOU TYRA!!!

Hello Tyra,

I do not have much to say, all I can say is that I am becoming a groupie of yours and I can't help it. Here's a short poem I wrote you, please save it in a safe place.

I wonder what people are going to say when they see this. I am going to write you another poem tomorrow, as long as you keep the promise of catering to the male audience in your talk show.

This thing, this thing of ours, I do not know what to call it
I do not know what to say about it
I do not know what to feel about it
Is it an emotion
Is it an attitude
This thing this thing of ours
I do not know why I feel it
I do not know what to call it
I do not know why I have it
I do not know what it is
This thing, This thing of ours
I do not know what they say it is
I have no clue
I have searched for explanations in because but I do not find it
I have tried looking in books and I can't find it
Oh, this thing this thing of ours,
why does it make me laugh when you laugh
why does it make me cry when your cry
This thing of ours
why does it make me want to hug you so bad it kills me
why does it take me up the intergalactic spheres of pleasure
This thing of ours
why does it happen only when I see you
why do i feel scared of this thing
This thing of ours
I can not touch it, yet I can feel it
I cannot see it, yet I feel it
I cannot cling to it, yet I feel it
I cannot stop it, but sometimes I want to
This thing, this thing of ours
It does not need no explanation
It does not need no books
It does not need no other people
It does not need anything but you

It makes me so creative
It makes me wanna be near you
It makes me want to weep and mourn at the same time

Oh, the philosophers have got no answers
Oh, the religious men have got no answers
Oh, the animals have got no answers

What is this thing that I feel, this thing of ours
It is something that is indescribable
It is something that is unfathomable
It is something that cannot be touched
It is something that can only be felt

This thing, this thing they call it love!

You are my queen, and I love you.

I love your show. My idea is a Teen makeover. Im in Highschool I struggle with my weight and I think a teen Makeover show will be Great to boost confidence and Help me and Teens like me feel so much better about ourselves.

With Much LOVE ,

Hello Beautiful,

My idea for an transformational makeover is for women who have struggled with hormone issues... I for one have struggled with this problem since I was 14 years old. I am now 27 and married and at this point have not been visited by my monthly friend since 8/2005 and needless to say have not been able to get pregnant because of this issue. I have felt very masculant especially with hair growth on my face. I know that they're alot of women who must be struggling with the same symptoms, but like me make sure to cover the stubble, prefuse sweating or belly bloating as best they could. There is alot more than just the physical embarrasment, but the mental and emotional confusion and frustration is at time too overwhelming. I would love to see this situation finally come out and hopefully have more doctors get more involved and not just blame it on being overweight. Thanks so much for being a strong women and being a new great role model to young girls.

HEY TYRA,
WELL FIRST AND FORMOST I LOVE THE SHOW ITS GREAT ...BUT I WAS THINKING
OF A MAKEOVER IDEA..YOU SEE I AS MANY TEENAGERS STRUGGLE WITH ACNE AND ACNE SCARES ETC... I THINK THAT WE SHOULD GIVE A MAKEOVER TO TEENAGERS TO LIFT THERE SELF ESTEEM NOT ONLY ON THE OUTSIDE BUT ON THE INSIDE....WE STRUGGLE JUST AS MUCH AS SOMEONE OVER WEIGHT..WE HATE BEING CALLED PIZZA FACE OR SUMTHING THAT E ARE NOT...THAT HURTS ALOT SO I HOPE THAT U COULD DO MORE OF THIS...BECAUSE WE TEENAGERS TOO NEED MAKEOVERS..
THANK YOU
GOD BLESS♥

Hey Tyra,
I love your show, I'm sure you get that from everybody but I have a makeover transformation idea, I think you should do a show helping transgendered male and females convert into the sex that they feel they were born to be, alot of the men who transition in to females have no training on how to do their hair and makeup because they had to live as males for most of their lives, I think a makeover will be a good start in their transformation.

Hey Tyra,

I just wanted to start off saying I never really watched that much of your show. I moved so much, I didnt know about you until recently when you started doing make-overs and encouraging women all around the world. Your shows began to make me think of a person in my life. Her name is Jolyn Marie. Im a foster kid and she's one of the biological children of a home I used to live in. Jolyn is 20 years old, and she is desperatley needing to talk to you. Even is for a moment, or even is its just an email, she needs some of your enlightenment. You see, Jolyn's family and I believe she is suffering from a severe case of bulimia. Im 15, and when I lived with Jolyn and her family, it was some of the best months in my life. I never really realized Jolyns condition until a major break up turned my head. She had been dating a man for a year and a half, living with him and he was her first everything. He had broken up with her over a lunch one random day and Jolyn completley died inside and out. She had not been eating the best before, but after the heartbreak she hit rock bottom. She began hiding her food in her room and going to the gym quite frequently without having eaten for a few days at a time. And when she DOES eat, she either takes constipation pills after gorging herself or vomits continuiously. Her family and I need someone like you to show her that she cant love another man until she loves herself, inside and out.

Guarenteed, once Jolyn finds out I wrote to you, she'll be furious and lose another 15 pounds, but people do crazy things when its family.

Also, is anyone else has anything positive to say to Jolyn, you can find me at Jusatadinky68@aim.com

Thanks so much,

Ashlee.

Im going to put her mothers email, just encase you need to contact anyone over the age of 21.

Guarenteed, once Jolyn finds out I wrote to you, she'll be furious and lose another 15 pounds, but people do crazy things when its family.

Also, is anyone else has anything positive to say to Jolyn, you can find me at Jusatadinky68@aim.com

Thanks so much,

Ashlee.

Hello Tyra,
I never thought that I would be communicating with you or anyone-else on a computer.
Tyra, I'm a 55 year old college student in need of a MAJOR MAKEOVER OF MY TEETH. They are horrible condition mainly due to medical problems. It took me forever to speak of this matter. I am always hiding my smile because of the condition of my teeth.
This might not be important to some people, but it means the world to me. At one time I was always telling jokes and always had a story to tell-but now I barely laugh or show my smile at all, because I'm totally a shamed of the condition of my mouth. I used to out alot, but the only places I go are to School and Church. If you haven't guessed by now I'm a single grandmother of 9 grandchildren. Everyone wants to fix me up with a date but I always come up with some excuse not to go out. When in fact I'm ashamed of the condition of my teeth. I know you are busy helping other with more important need other than mine, but I would be so grateful if you could help me with my problem. Keep being you. God has given you a talent so use and use it well.

Your friend always,
Ms Brenda

Dear Tyra,

My idea for a makeover transformation is for COMPULSIVE BUYERS and or COLLECTERS of COLLECTIONS. The makeover whould first have to start from within the person before proceeding to the actual addiction, or my mothers house. My mother has suffered from this addiction for at least twenty-four years. She has a three story house with a full basement and only narrow pathways for movement. In the living room there is only one chair to sit in. The rest of the space is filled with Avon boxes, Home Interior boxes, and sacks all stacked to about waist level making narrow pathways through this huge house.

This addiction has hidered my nieces and nephews from spending time with their grandparents, tormented my childhood, and robbed both my parents of happiness. My mothers house needs a miracle, but a makeover transformation is a start.

The difficulty in this task is that this addiction that is not out in the open as drinking, drugs, or abuse, so people don't know how to help or support the victims. I can remember getting scolded for trying to clean the kitchen or bathroom when I was little because her stuff would be moved. Nobody is ever allowed in the frount door unless the house is clean, but it never is. I don't have to deal with it anymore but she does. She has tons of friends and family but none of them have ever been to her house.

She is one of the nicest people on the outside but in the inside she never lets anyone in...PLEASE HELP!

Tyra,
My idea for a show is kinda corny but here it goes. I am somewhat of a larger girl and I've always had huge thighs I hate them so much I will never wear shorts. I haven't worn shorts since 6th grade and I am 21 now. My husband badly wants to see me in shorts but I hate my legs so much I will not bare them. could u maybe have a show about how to get rid of big thighs?
Love u and ur show it's awesome
Love Nikki

Hello Tyra,
My name is Tiffany and I am from Motgomery, AL. I'm writing you in hopes that you may be able to help me. I have a beyond beautiful mother who I can't help to love inside and out, that's why it pains me so when I hear her say "I wish I were beautiful" or "I hate the way I look, I wish i were pretty". My mothers is smart and has so many wondersful things about her I wish I could express in one letter but then I'd never stop writing. My mother (Cheri) gave up everything she wanted to do just to make a better life for someone else. When she was 35 she adopted me (Tiffany) from Colombian, South America. She spent years in a abusive relationship with her ex-husband,When he tried to hit me, that was the last straw for my mother. She picked me up and we left never turning back. Not even for clothes, food, or money. Even though that was many years ago she still works just as hard to be self made and works even harder to take care of me. Looking back on it now, I want to try to give her what she never had... self confidence, but i need your help. I'm 18 years old and only wish to see my mother happy not just with those around her, but most of all happy with herself. I know she's beautiful, and I want her to know that for herself. Tyra is there anyway you can help me?

I have a very differant idea for a makeover show and I do not think it has ever been done before (atleast know one I know has ever seen it) I would like to see you help men and woman (mostly woman) where are physically handicap. I am a 47 yr and an above the knee amputee and I can not wear and artifical leg any more. Anywho I have a real problem with finding things that look good on me and I am sure there are others that have the same problem.
I am sure there are other people who are in wheelchairs that have the same problem. So that is my idea.
Thank you.

Hey Tyra,
I love you so much because of the person you are. You are a beautiful person, not only in beauty but just in general spirit. I love everything that you do for all those different people. I have a great idea for a makeover show for you. How about you look deep into women and men with alopecia. Because I know that there is some kind of doctor that has some type of machine that can help with those type of problems. I knoww someone who cries just trying to put a regular ponytail in her hair. And she would dare go to the shop and get her hair done, because she is just too embarrased. It's just a thought, think about it boo.

hey Tyra,

My idea for your show is to help those who are suffering with the long term effects of a physical assult. The reason for this idea is because I am someone who has been suffering with the scars of an assult that happened almost 13 years ago when I was 16.
It was November 19, 1994 and my life was changed forever. Some friends and I had decided to go to my boyfriends house and watch movies and have some drinks (bad idea). A pact was made at the begining of the evening and never did I know that breaking this pact would lead to such horrific consequences. I ended up getting angry and left the house, never to be the same. Four and a half hours later I was found and rushed to the hospital near death.
I was beaten nearly to death by someone. Left for dead all alone in the cold. When I tell my story suspension arises and everyone has a theory, but the truth is I do not know what happended to me that night. My memory of the events of what happened after I left the house are forever blurred or gone, but the scars are forever present.
According the the doctors I was beaten with either a crowbar or a tire iron. I have the scars to prove it. Now let me explain to you the injuries that I recieved.
I have 2 scars on my head that are in L shapes. I have a scar between my eyes and one on my chin. I had my left arm pulled out of socket, apparently from where I had been drug across the ground and I had severe internal injuries to my liver because of the blows that I had recieved to my stomach. Lastly the worst thing of all that still plagues me to this day is that I had 7 of my top teeth inpacted into my sinus cavities. Along with two of my bottom teeth knocked out with many others broken off. I also had bitten off part on my tounge.
When I went in for surgery to repair the damage done to my mouth, they had to remove the teeth and place a plate in my upper jaw to fill the hole left in my sinus cavity. Later I went in to have surgery, a bone graft to replace the missing bone that was crushed from the blow to my teeth. When they did the surgery in order to have enough gums to cover the graft they had to cut my gums from the bones and pull my top lip in. Dramatically reducing the size of my top lip, so now when I smile my top lip vanishes and my side profile is horrific for me to look at, all I see is the damage that was done to my face.
I ended up dropping out of school because of the torment of those trying to help me adjust, and returning to normal was not going to happen, I went into a deep depression because I feared that someone I loved had hurt me. The police in my county never did help me, nor was anyone ever arrested. My case was closed as a hit and run with a motor vehicle, even though the doctors said that there was no way I was hit with a car.
Nine months after that terrible night I recieved dentures that were meant to be temporary, but I still wear them to this day. After years of wearing dentures it has reeked havaoc on the remaining teeth that I have. All of my teeth are loose because of the dentures and I do not have the means to do anything about it.
If there is any way that you can offer me some kind of help to regain the smile that I lost at the age of 16, it would be greatly appreciated. I understand that there are many people out there seeking help from you, and if I do not recieved your help I will understand, but if you will still please use my idea for a show to help those who have been scared by an assult that would be reward enough for me.

Thank you,
A loyal viewer,
Lisa

HOLLA BACK ASAP!

Hello Tyra,

First I wanted to tell you that I really love your show very much. Second, I think I have some ideas oh how I am going to make my face look good after watching your show and thinking about it for a long time.

Since people have told me that I have a radiant face that glows whenever I smile. It will be good to apply make up that accentuates my smile and make up that makes sure that my teeth are in harmony with it so that when I smile there is a transcendence of the white colour of my teeth and the colour of the make up. I have no idea what make up will do this but I think a light brown make up colour on my face will make do. And also, since I have a large forhead that looks beautiful, I should apply make up that is light so that when light is shorn on me, it does not reflect too much light since people already see it because it is a prominent feature of my face. Also, since I have been told that I have the most amazing eyes I should make sure I apply make up close to my eyes that accentuates my eyes. Make up that should make sure that my eyes shine through and pierce the person that is looking straight at my face. I have been told that people like looking at my eyes since they seem like they have a lot to say, and the stories that they say are full of warmth and joy. So, I would make sure that my eyes get a good attention when I am applying make up.

My eyebrows are good when they are not too thick but very thin I have been told, even though I am a man, I wonder why people say I would look good when I have thin eyebrows. I love them they way the look at the moment. Also, I have been told that the expressions I make with my face are very expressive, especially when I am joyful so I should apply make up that makes sure people see the expressions that I make with my face, since my expressions are a marvel to watch. I think girls like me for the way my face is very expressive.

My lips are one of the best parts of my body, and people have told me that they look good with little to no lipstick attached to them. So, my lips should just remain natural as it is and if I should apply any lipstick, I should just do what I have been doing so far.

That's it from me and lot's of love.

Yours,

Paul

Greetings Tyra,

What a pleasure to be given the opportunity to send in makeover ideas to such a fabulous show. I abolutely love and admire you, your show, your show ideas, and the list goes on. I am currently 28 yrs of age and expecting my second little bundle of joy. I have been married for 3 years and I have a wonderful son. My makeover idea is to make over expecting mothers. Expecting mothers are some of the most beautiful women in the world however we don't always feel that way. We often feel huge, tired, stressed, overwhelmed, and even sick. Let's uplift the world's expecting mothers by giving them the makeover of a lifetime b/c one can be pregant and still be absolutly stunning with a little help from Tyra.

Thanks-A-Million
Talya

Hi Tyra,
I love your shows very much especially the makeover shows. I am genuinely happy for those who have the opportunity to participate, what you really do is giving hope to the hopeless,
I am a 26yrs old female and have never make-up in my life. People often tell me I am beautiful but I think with a little make-up, I will be more sophisticated. When I look around and see how our girls paint their faces, I feel so discourage even to give a try. By watching your show it help me a lot though I have not started because I don't know what colors to use. I know it might be difficult for you to help me because I am somewhere in Africa but I think if there are more shows on this subject I might be able through you to help myself.

Dear tyra,
Im sure you read comments everyday with the same ongoing problem with teenagers with low self esteem and no self confidence because there body is not perfect,because they dont wear a size 4.But as a young viwer of the tyra show i see that you do what you can to help and i just hope that you take this and all the other comments about us teenagers and the struggle of not being the ideal popular,pretty,rich girl of your highschool.It hurts me so much to hear people talk behind my back about how i look that i dont even cry anymore the tears stopped coming along time ago.Ive built a wall closing out all feelings just so that i wont feel the pain of being overweight.Ive been through so much in my past which i believe has alot to do with me looking to food as comfort it seems to be the only thng i can count on the only thing i know will always be there.Iv looked to suicide but stopped when i thought about the few people i knew cared about me.Ive lowered all my standards to second or third best just because i knew i would never be able to amount too the girls on tv and magazines.I dont aim for the cute popular boys i dont have alot of friends worried about what they might say or do i dont trust anyone but i am confiding in you tyra in hopes that you really read this and can help me see the beautiful girl my family tells me they see but i dont.
