MESSAGE FROM TYRA: Who wants a makeover?!

Hi y'all,

It's finally getting cold here in New York. For a while the weather was pretty much the same as in Los Angeles, but now I'm finally wearing my winter coat and turning the heat on in my apartment. I'm LOVING life in NYC. I just step out my front door and there are people everywhere - even late at night. I went to the grocery store at 11pm the other night and the sidewalk was as crowded as it is during the daytime. People are running errands, the restaurants are packed and the city is alive. One thing I see a lot of in NYC, is working women. I see them in the morning, walking, heading to the subway, jumping on the bus, dropping their kids off - looking all cute, walking with a sense of pride and purpose.

Women who work in the city come from all over. There are five boroughs in Manhattan (The Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island). I decided I wanted to do a special makeover show that would honor the women of all five boroughs and reward their hard work with some personal pampering, hot styling and fierce hair and makeup! I picked five women to make over, I even surprised some of them by showing up in a garbage truck, looking like a sanitation worker. They NEVER saw that coming!

MESSAGE FROM TYRA: WHAT'S UP DOWN THERE!

Hi y'all,

OK, ever since the first season of the Tyra show - I always pitched my producers the idea of doing an entire show on the VAGINA. I had no problem talking about it and thought it would be a really important show for women's health. I was lucky my mama was always open about vaginal health and told me from an early age WHAT'S UP DOWN THERE! I can speak about it comfortably. But for some reason - my producers always said, "No Tyra. Not Now. It's too controversial." When I'm told "No" it makes me try harder....so FINALLY, in my third year on the air I finally pushed through the show I always wanted to do.

Honestly, I don't know why women are so uncomfortable talking about their vagina. I have women on my show who have NEVER gone to the gynecologist. With std's, ovarian cancer and so many health issues involving your vagina, you've got to take control and put your health first.

I think the show was worth fighting for and after you watch it next MONDAY, November 5th I hope you feel comfortable saying "it." VAGINA! VAGINA! VAGINA! Even typing it is freeing. VAGINA! VAGINA! VAGINA!

Ok, I better stop now.

MESSAGE FROM TYRA: Welcome to "BODYVILLE"

Hey y'all,

What would you do if someone asked you to put on a flesh-colored bodysuit? Then they told you to stand in front of a mirror, virtually naked, and talk truthfully about your flaws. Dig deep into your past and address the scars of your past that affect the way you see your body. The names people called you, the rolls, the stretch marks, the cellulite, the protruding bones, the sags, the REAL naked you.

You'd feel incredibly vulnerable judging yourself like that, right? Now imagine sitting 'naked' in a room with a group of other women JUDGING your body...labeling you THICK, SKELETOR, FAT SLOB, and all the names we dread being called. Welcome to "BODYVILLE."

This ground-breaking social experiment is unlike anything you've ever seen on television before. I'm so proud of what we did. In fact, the content was so compelling - there was no way to fit it all into one show...so we made it into my FIRST EVER TWO-PART EPISODE!

There are explosive moments on camera, and even some drama backstage. Right before the show, I realized the woman HAD to be wearing their bodysuits on-stage to really illustrate the point that women judge other woman harshly. They needed to show their vulnerability in front of the audience, so I went upstairs to the greenrooms and told the women my idea. At first they didn't want to do it, so I told them that I would do it with them too. If we all do it together and show our solidarity as women, then we really prove our point. So we all did it! It helped us all relate to each other better. We've all been called those names or we've called other people those names. They called me Ethiopian when I was skinny in grade school - and they called me THIGH-RA when the tabloids called me fat. There was even a time when I was the mean girl who called people names. It's only when you experience it yourself that you wish you could take the comments you made back. Like Justin Timberlake sings, "What Goes Around Comes Around."

Watch the show THIS THURSDAY and FRIDAY. And catch me on Good Morning America Thursday morning (during the 8am hour) when I'll be promoting it. Which means - child I will be up EARLY in the morning getting my hair and makeup done. I don't know how Diane Sawyer does it every morning and looks so damn good every day.

MESSAGE FROM TYRA: My Bonus MUST HAVE Item for Fall

TYRA-w-fanny-pack.jpg

Hi y’all,
I’m going to say it loud, and say it proud – I’M BRINGIN’ BACK THE FANNY PACK! That’s right, the bonus MUST HAVE item for fall...and LIFE...is this oldie, but goodie. I LOVE my fanny pack, because it’s easy and functional. It’s not like your Granny’s fanny packs of the past—these days they are much more stylish and can take you from day to night. Plus, a fanny pack frees up your hands, giving you freedom to move! An added bonus, you don’t have to worry about pick-pockets, nobody’s getting into this thing without you noticing.

So, instead of schlepping around a pocketbook or purse, try something different. The fanny pack is a great versatile item to add to any fall wardrobe, as I demonstrate in this fierce pose in the Subway!!! Now, CLICK HERE for your chance to win one of your own.

GOOD LUCK!
