The beauties turned ugly Bettys couldn't stand walking around the mall looking so plain, so they sat down in a corner to talk about the emotions that were emerging from their 'ugly' suits.

Hi - there is a film called "Beauty: In the Eyes of the Beheld" which asks the opposite question: What is it like to be a beautiful woman? It actually interviews everyday beautiful women - a doctor, a stripper, a business woman, a student, etc. - and asks them what it's like to be beautiful. I was surprised to hear what they had to say. It seems that being beautiful is nice, but it's not all it's cracked up to be. Well, that's how I saw it - you have to see it yourself. Just google it. I think you should have the women in the film on your show. It was very enlightening indeed!
HI, I FEEL SO LAME WRITING BUT IDK THERE ARE TIEMS WHERE I FEEL SO PLAIN TOO. I'M 17 AND I'VE BEEN TOLD I LOOK TOO PLAIN. EVEN WHEN I TRY TO LOOK NICE, I HARDLY GET COMMENTS BUT IDK. I GUESS THATS JUST HOW IT IS. I COME FROM A VERY SMALL TOWN, WHERE THERE ARE NO MALLS, THE CLOSEST ONE IS 4 HOURS AWAY, AND THERE ARE ONLY LIKE RITE AID, SAFEWAY, STARBUCKS, AND MCDONALDS AS COORPORATIONS ALL THE REST ARE LOCAL SHOPS. WHICH IS NICE! WHEN I GO OUTTA TOWN I SEE SO MANY PPL WELL DRESSED AND ALL BEAUTIFIED AND I LOOK AT MY SELF, AND ITS LIKE EHHH! HOW CAN YOU LOOK PRETTY AND FASHIONALBLE WITHOUT TRYING TOO HARD. I USE TO WEAR MAKE-UP BUT I STOPPED CUZ I GOT TO LAZY SO NOW I ONLY USE IT WHEN I GO TO PARTIES, BUT ON DAY TO DAY BASIS ALL I WEAR IS MASCARA..WHAT TO DO, WHAT TO DO??

tyra, you are such a wonderful rolemodel, i love your show, I trust your opion so much that i want to ask you a question that i have not been able to even voice aloud to myself....I am 22, and have a one year old daughter. when i was 19 my boyfriends family and friends cruely harrassed me about having hair on my face...i thought it was normal for some women to have it, i guess mine was more than normal? anyways, first i tried to let them know how much it hurt me and asked them to stop, they just made more fun, so i tried to make fun of myself but that made me feel even more like an ugly betty....so then i started shaving my face, i was really poor and didnt have money for anything else, and it is so sad, before that i was always so self confidant and loved myself-thought i was actually pretty, but after, wow i have no self esteem at all, they took away my feelings of womanhood...augh...its so embarrassing to talk about, my boyfriend kinda stayed in the backgrounds when that happened, and shortly afterwards we became pregnant and his family stopped being rude to me.
now that i have a daughter though, i am so scared that she will go though the same thing...i will teach her to love herself and that she is beautiful, but i cant keep the outside world from hurting her
...so my question is, is there anything that i can do to prevent my daughter from growing hair on her face? i never want her to go through what i had to
please help

Hi miss Tyra my name is Doreen
I'm 16 and i really loved this show.i because you showed everybody that people do get judged by how they look
and not everyone is going to be nice about it.I'm just so happy that your one those people thats giving and loving. So keep up what your doing because it's AWESOME!!!.And Tyra you did not have to wear that wig look'n like buckweat but it's okay i still luv you no matter how bad that ducktail/mulllet you were wearing looked=)
thank you again nad GOD BLESS

I just loved this show, it is something that I have wanted to tell others, and what was funny is Tyra you looked like me when i was a little girl, or that is how i felt. I remember that there was this time that i Liked this boy named Danny from Maryland, and he flirted with me, and i thought that we were dating. until, he told me that he was only being nice just to get the nerve to speak and have some time with my best friend. he told me that i was pretty, but my friend was just Gorgeous. I got so mad, and angry, that i actually believed him. since then i haven't talked to him other than to say that it truly hurt. After that my friendships with her was never the same. I think that this experiment helps those that are born with that beautiful face, and those of the "Ugly Betty" how each one may feel in the other shoes. whether or not they are just friends, family memebers or co-workers. Just saying thank you for this show it really helps others. Jenni B. From Peoria, IL

I would have to say that this is one of my favorite shows of yours miss tyra b/c people say that they don't judge by how you look but they do.the reason why it really hit home with me b/c i always felt that i was an ugly duckling so to see that other girls feel the same way makes feel alot better

tyra, todays show was awesome. the main thing that shocked me is when the women were saying we did nothing to deserve this harsh treatment. yes thats true but make sure as you are flawnting your beauty your not too arogant about the self-esteem but to encourage others to find their own. that is what i have learned but also its not something just given to or handed to, if it is not ingraded into you it has to be created in you and molded rightly into your life. thanks for all your boldness,love you gurl
