Hello miss Tyra! This post concerns cycle 11. I know that plenty of girls feel the same way I do about what happened on Feb.22nd 2008 in Gainesville, FL at the casting calls. I got there at 3:30 pm and the auditions weren't supposed to start until 5:00 pm that night. So when i got there i waited in line patiently for 5 hours until 8:00 pm. And a man from the cw announces that they were done with the auditions. And they only took the first 120 girls. Well i didn't think that was fair at all. What if the next Tyra was at the back of the line?? And honestly i just really wanted to at least be able to tryout and experience that in itself. But I know this is probably not your fault but i just thought that you should be informed with the way things are being dealt with. Thank you.

Tyra you say that all beauty comes in so many forms, shapes, sizes and color but you did not mention the fact that there really are certain expectaions that you have to be as a model. I see that on the app. for americas next top model. You have to be a certain height and what not to even qualify. So don't you think that, that defeats your philosphy?????

Tyra,
You are my role model! Im 13 and I look up to you for every thing. I go on your website 24/7! You should come to Grand Rapids some time and hold you show there so I can see it. I always wanted to be a model but people are saying to me " you can never be a model, you dont have the body." It is my friends that say that to me they roll their eyes when I tell them. You are AWESOME!

Hi Tyra my name is Frederica and I am an aspiring plus size model. I will soon be turning 16 and thought that I would share with you a few of my ideas. I guess before I go there I should say that I love both of your shows, but just want to thank you for being a role model you have really inspired me. Umm I did Barbizon Modeling and Talent Agency and I am still doing competitions but I really haven’t gotten were I want to be. The other day my cousin and hi were watching ANTM and thought it would be really cool if there was a ANTTM Americas Next Top Teen Model. I think it would be really cool if considered that as a show one of these times because of course I would audition. I hope that you really consider this idea…..Thanks Frederica

Tyra,
I just want to start off by telling you that you are an awesome woman and very inspirational to everyone. Anyone can learn a great deal from you and feel great about themselves everyday. I love your show and America's Next Top Model. Last season I realized there should be an ANTM for the guys. It would be great for that to happen beacause my cousin and I would like to pursue modeling. This is our top priority to make it and it would be great and a honor for you to consider it or make it happen.
Thanks,
Jacobe

Hi Tyra,
So America's Next Top Model is my favortie show, and i have a few questions.
My first one is, What happened with Shadi and her boyfriend (the one she cheated on) after the show? Did they get back to together?
My next one is about Jenah, first, I LOVED Jenah, she was my favorite cycle 9. So what is she doing now? And I was wondering if maybe you could have her on your show? I also LOVED Brooke from cycle 7. (you know, the 18-year old) So if she could be on too, that would be great.
Please write back!
