hey she is really pretty dont mind the people who say you are so black i use to be that black people use to pick on me alot

Hi Tyra,
Im 18 years old and I always wanted to model, the problem is...Im only 5'4 but I know that there are plenty of short models out there. What do you suggest I do? I dont even know where to begin. PLEASE HELP!
P.S. Your such a great role model and I admire everything you do!

Dear Tyra,
I am so upset over who one antm, not saying Salisha did not deserve it, but you know that she has been on you talk show modeling, and on a Wendy's comercial. And I do belive that if you have done anything like that, that you could not even be on antm. Now I know she was at your camp, and I feel that was ok, because your camp is to help girls learn how to get in the business. But, in your heart you was already close and knew this young girl, so do you think that, that has anything to do with her winning.

What a shocker Salisha won America's next top model. Like we didn't know that was going to happen..but did she deserve it?

Tyra, I am a mother of am 2 mo. old baby boy, everyone that has seen him has told me that I should get him into modeling. As a Black American I am unsure of this, I know that their few too none Black male models, and I think that he is too young, yet unstill I am asking, how I should go about getting started.

Love and God Bless, Khy

Hi Tyra!

I hope you are doing well.

My name is Anixa. I'm a 14yrs old girl(soon to be 15 in February next year) from South Africa.

I and a few friends on mine love you show and we try not to miss a single episode. We are your biggest fans from SA and have high hopes of meeting you one day!

I personally love your show because you help me a lot and educate me about the outside world. You deal with real life issues and reveal truths. Your tips are simply the best and I want to thank you so much for everything you have and still are doing.

I'm going for a modelling audition with a friend of mine (who has had her own audition but hasn't been called up for anything) for adverts such as teenagers clothes and such. I'm quite slim and tall for my age (I'm about 1.65m). Some people mistake me for a 16yr old while others think I'm 12. Problem is that something might be wrong with my legs and I feel that I can't walk probably. I had a big injury to my spine when I was 9yrs old and the arches in my feet are bad. My eyesight is not the good either and I wear reading glasses. I've been called beautiful and worthy to be a teenage model but I don't know if I can.

Will people really take on a girl like me to be a model.

Much appreciated if you could write back to me.

Love you lots and my God bless you. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year

Regards
Anixa

Hi Tyra!!!

Loves your show both Americas next top model and the Tyra Show, I love what you have done and I always watch all your shows, I'm a 25 year old gay male and every time I watch your next top model show I feel like all the girls are doing very good but when they ask them to pose they just don't know what to do I know how to walk the runway and how toact, like when you tell them to act a sertine way, they just don't know what to do and it's so easy for me to do it like when you tell them to be mean or act like they are sad they just dont know , I do and I would love to show them how, I have always wanted to model but never really could because of peronal issues,,,I have respect for everybody in your show I just wish I could have been given that chance, I am a boy but I have very Fem fetures, people look at me all the time and wonder what my sexuality is, but I know that I can act what you ask for and I can teach them to do it from insideout I would love to do that, please give me a chance to show my talent....Loves U forever....Luiis..........call me 9166416554....P.S. Forgive me I'm a bad speller ;-)

Hey Tyra
Everyone say i should be a model when i grow up but i think that i have to many scars on my legs but everyone say i have a good shape for my height and weight i would like to model someday but right now im focus on school and my studies before you can do anything you have to have a education first im only 14 but i will be 15 december 11 and im a freshmen but nice talkin with you bye

Um, hi Tyra. This is really new for me and I'm not sure if you will really answer but, I'd really appreciate it if you did. I'd email you but, I canot find the address on this computer. Anyway, I'm interested in learning about modeling as well because everyone keeps saying I should be one. I'd like to but, I don't think I can because: I am short, my skin is SO not perfect, I am not very photogenic, and I'm sure I have several other imperfections. If you could help...Simply talking to me would help. I'm kinda stressed and having family problems that are damaging my mental health. Well, thank you. P.S.- I love your show and you;re really nice. Who would have thought such a pretty person could be so crazy...Not to be rude. By the way I am 19 and I live all the way across the country from you.

dear tyra i watch your show all the time and i think your really cool.i know that you have a lot that is going on in your life but out of kindness i really need your help. well first of all i am 15 an i live in dayton ohio and i also attend stivers the school for the arts.my magnet is chior.all my life people have told me that i should become a model and thats cool if your just shooting my face.what i mean is my face might be pretty but my body is a diffrent story.to start im not as skinny as those girls on americas next top model and i dont think ill ever be.ive been told that i have not butt but i see it. i mean its not flat but its not like yours.and to top it all off i have the most uglyiest stretch marks.but ive always wanted to model for one day just to see if i would be pretty enough to persue a career of it.and the only way i know how to do that is threw you,and im not trying to take advantage of you i just want to see if i can do it.so if you would like to help i live in dayton ohio at 241 shiloh springs rd.thanks for reading stay blessed.

Hey girl!!!!

I just wanted to tell you how much i love you and your show, i just had a few questions on modeling i always wanted to be a model but i just dont know where to start, you see i live in a small town and it's just too hard to find a real modeling agency and i tryed to make it to your Americas Next Top Model casting but, the same week ya'll was in town i had two deaths in my family. I just about gave up on modeling, can you give me some advice and point me to the right direction

hey tyra,

im down in australia and i've been a huge fan of yours for ages but unfortunately i don't get to watch your show cause they don't air it here. i do get to watch top model though so im happy :)
what i really want to ask you about is some tips on becoming a model im only 5'2 and everyone says i should become a model but i just don't know where to start. i have pretty much the same skin colour as yours do you have any fave make up tips? and what kind of foundation do you use?

thanx for reading this babe x x

Hi Tyra! I LOVE you so much! You are sooooo crazy!

Tyra, I have a 23 year young sister who is what I think a SUPER MODEL. She and I share our mother who is white. Her father is black. She is the most beautiful young lady that I have every seen. She used to work for a modelig agency but now works for an insurance company in Columbia Missouri. She also just loves you. She has sent her application in to Next Top Model and has never been picked. Some of the girls that are on that show should not be on there. When I have watched that show they all so much drama. I know that everyone have some kind of drama in their lives but I think that they sometimes over do it. I am the type of person who will speak her mind. I'm not dumping on the show because I like it. I just think the show needs someone like my sister who honestly loves what she did, but was going nowhere with the company she was working for. I also know that you probably get posts like this all the time,but we are from a small town and some never get out, I just want the best for her and all that she does. Why not give the small people in the world a chance also. I mean the really small town young ladies. I also watch your show every morning while I work. I have to say that I have found it to be the talk of the day between my husband and I after work some days. I love the move to New York. I also think that you have a lot to offer the world on the subjects you talk about. Will you keep us updated on the young girl who had the drinking problem on last weeks show. The one who had an affair on her man and was dancing around acting like a nut in her kitchen. I would like to know if she really did get help and stuck like glue to it.

Hi tyra,

Hi Tyra, I'm a great fan of yours.
You give guidance about the real issues in life.
Im 25, i need your help.I'm Kenyan.
I have been trying out at modeling contests, but have not been lucky yet.
I tried out for Ford when i was 21, and made Nairobi's selection, but the competition was cancelled.I got numerous complements from the event organisers though.
I almost made Nokia Face of Africa's Nairobi shortlist, but i didn't. Here too, I got numerous complements from the event organisers.

I still hold this dream.
I hope you can help me realise it.
I'm 5 7', i'm naturally slim and have chocolate dark skin.I've been described once or twice as uniquely beautiful.
I hope you'll get back to me.I would be most grateful.
Please help!
Also, and most importantly, God bless you for being the light for strong women out here.We do need strong role models. the world is a tough place.
