Hi Tyra! I know you get thousands of comments just like mine, but I have a 13 year old daughter (she'll be 14 in December) and Tyra when I tell you she's pretty, 5'5, size 0-1 in juniors, and has the most fierce runway walk you've ever seen for someone her age. She has 2 agents who cant get her work, all she need is an opportunity! She watches your show (America's Next Top Model) like all of the time which is where she picked up her runway walk tecniques. You're such an inspiration for not only Black women, but all women. She would really like to get a chance to meet you. I really think you can make it happen for her Tyra, I really hope you read this comment. Hope to hear from you soon! Venshelle

Tyra I am 13 and I really love your show America's Next Top Model. I really hope to be on it one day but I'm to young right now. I wish you could do something like that for teens like me. I'm not just asking you I really am begging you to think about it. PLEASE TRYA if you do you would be helping so many young girls out. I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE YOOOOOOOOOOOU TYRA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You inspire me to walk talk and be a great future model.

Dear Tyra, I understand that I might be on the wrong site to write you an e-mail.But something special & usual happen while I was out shopping at the mall in Fairveiw Hgt, Il at Verizon. I understand that you receiives a lot fan/e-mail and hopefully you'll get to read this personally because it's a special request.I watch all of your shows and admire your inner beauty,your realness,your inner beauty, soul and your desire to help others.Today I was drawn to this young lady of all the workers at Verizon to wait on me. it wasn't like she look like a beauty Queen, but it was something special about her. As she wait on me, I ask her had she ever consider medeling and found out that she had a desire to model for years. I mention you and found out that she had even triedto get an audition on March 07, 2009 at St Anthony School in St. Ouis, Mo. She stated that when they open the doors, a bunch of aggressive ladies barge in and she was puch backward and the security came and the rest of them was forced to leave, so she did'nt get an audition. She is a very sweet and somewhat shy young ladies that I desperly feel you must meet. I'm writing you because even though i told her to do so, I feel that she may hestitate. She is 26, about 5'4, estitmate weight 110 pound. She told me her story about how she and her brother has been working hard and paying her Mother bills since she has been ill about 2yrs and finally is getting her Social security hearing next month.Tyra, i don't know what it's about this young lady that I was drawn to and just knew that with your training that she could possibly be your next Top Model.I am pleading from the bottom of my heart that you would contact her and give her the chance she deserve. I'm just a person with a warm loving heart who have always tried to help anyone and never juge people on their status or what they do. I retrieve her business card and her name is Aretha Lumas. She worked at Verizon wireless at 134 St Clair Sq #K6, Fairview Heights, IL, 62208. Store number (618)632-0321 ext 3, Mobile # (618)980-0918, Fax # (618) 632-0489. Her e-mail is aretha.lumas@verizonwireless.com. She is a Retail/SMB Sales Consultant. I know you don't me, but please trust me on this one, I know thta you would love her spirit, attidude,and l'm just asking you give her a chance that she didn't get on audition day.Thank so much for listening to my story which is just of so many you receives. But, i think that you knows when someone is is real and coming from the heart. When I help peoples, i always give the glory to God, I never expect anything I pray that this e-mail reaches you personally. Sincerly, Lorraine Adams

Hey Tyra You are my hero i always watch your shows and one day i wish to go on americas next top model so that i can see you. We have so much in common and i want to tell you a few on one of your shows you said that you always wanted a sister and i have too. you also said that you have a brother and he is older than you well i have a brother and he is younger than me. My mom is a single parent also and she has two kids just like your mother. Some of my friends say that i kind of look like you which i am very honored because you are very pretty. I wish that i will get to meet you one day.

Tyra should know that there's a Sheriff's Deputy who would NOT mind taking her out for a cup of coco. He's located in Carson, California, I work in records. We had talk of Ms. Banks and he spoke sure of himself. I told him, "okay, stay tuned" . . . . . . . now, does she even read her comments? ") Well, good luck to Deputy _ _ _ _ _. Oops! almost said his name. Of course, they should be introduced first, though, dating a Sheriff's deputy can be intimidating so if Tyra has no problem ..... while he's still unmarried having no kids. His demographics? respectful. toodles!

i think Tyra is a great,sexy woman.whether she's fat or thin she's still the kind, loving and gorgeous Tyra.I dont miss any show on tv that has tyra.she inspires me and she's real

Not wishing to bash the dreams of those whom wish to become models,actors and actresses, this planet has enough of those; it's a shallow dream, the problem with today's culture is there lack of vision. Where prey tell are those, whom wish to become Doctors, Scientists, the people who are going to help the future...Instead of appearing on the next X-Factor, I hope that for all the sakes of this and the next generation; they soon realise that this life does not need that many more of those people. My contribution to this planet is not of a great deal, but I am also of the opinion, that it's not the worst. I am not a criminal, a thug, a bad singer in denial, I am not going to save the world from disease; nor am I going to inflict it to my horrible singing. Teachers, Parents, should be encouraging there children to be more than they can be. Not just helping them into a business which, yes at times; I am sure is great, but the pitfalls are potentially very serious! I do not wish to sound like a boring drag, and therefore I am going to stop.p.s is Tyra Banks, the one that was thin, then really weighty, then lost all the weight, then put it back on again. I Have lost track.

Hey tyra My name is Jerricka and I think u should have a show for teen age kids too 12 to 16 and it is my cousins dream to become a modle and I would love to become one too and we would love for u to do this for every teen out there that wonts to become a model thank u bye and please try to make are dreams happen

Hi! My name is Arielle, and by the way, I'm 12 I thought it would be cool if you made an America's Next Top Model for younger teens like 13 year olds-15 year olds. ~Arielle

Bravo! Bravo! Tyra for your amazing shows!! This is Lenah from Kenya. Would love to meet you coz you've really inspired me. Girl you are talented! Keep it up!

hi tyra i'm your biggest fan all the way from south afica and i love you and mercedes i would really love to meet to you'll in personal. your biggest fan nadine

Tyra, I have watched your show all the time, I see so many make overs. I have always wished I could get the scares on my face removed and I have a deep crease on my forehead. I went thru school and I was always made fun of. I do not have the self esteem I wish I had to really go out and not be self concious about my scars, I can't find the right make up, I hate to look in the mirrors. three yrs ago I sold all I had to move n with my mom that passed away within 8 mo. and I went thru a divorce at the same time. I fell in a deep depression, and it is hard for me to even go out to face the world, I feel my life slipping away,and I can't find it within me to even try. And I would love to have a make over. I am a single mom, I have raised my 4 children by myself, I still have 1 at home, he is a blessing to me, he is 16, and sacrifices alot of his time helping me try to get myself to even to get out of bed or off the couch, also I have gained alot of weight from not having a reason to do anything, to add on, I got fired from nursing home, I am a CNA, and it was the only income we had. We live in a low income apt. thanking God that we have a place to stay, we take it one day at a time. I know you have many, many people wanting on your show and I am no better, I really don't expect to get any response, but I just had to write and pray that someday my dream would come true. I got burned when I was 4. 15yrs ago, I started the process of getting my scars removed, but things kept getting n my way to were I finly just gave up. Maybe God will send this up front and touch your heart, and let you know how I truely feel. I don't know if u come to places where I live, but I had a great impulse to write this. something told me if I don't take a chance, I will never know......Thank-you for at least reading this...I pray I will get this makeover and let it be a tremendous change in my life. I am 44yrs old, divorced, and I feel my time fading away, feeling unworthy for an attractive guy that will truely love me. May God Bless You, send with care Janet Hawkins

tyra.loved your show today.about product's that really do work.alway's wondered if they really worked or not.on celluite.i see it does cant wait to run to the store and get some iam 47 and alway's been trying to lose weight for a long time,and been strugling with it.so how it work's for me.love your show girl.keep up the good work.sheri

I love Tryra, she is real and down to earth compare to the other actress, she always tell it like it is. Keep up the good workk tyra, we love you.

I love Tyra soo much.She is such an inspeartion to me and so many other teens.She is a true beauty and definatly a beautiful person in the inside and out.She trys to reach out to young teens that are struggling with their weight to become aneorxic like some of the models today.She tells these girls you don't have to be thin to be pretty.Tyra has helped me overcome that point in my life.Even tho I don't look fat at all ,I would still think I am fat when I looked in the mirror.Now I see that is this worth it?? To put my life in danger?? NO Way!!Tyra also says that she is in the business that feeds the image of supper skinny models and it is her job to try to stop that.I think the media has a impact of young girls wanting to be skinny.Tyra has helped so many different people in so many ways.She is such a angel.Every girls probably wants to meet the wonderful Tyra Banks.She is soo down to earth.I know I do want to meet her someday.I love you Tyra<3xox Brittany

Hi Tyra Banks, it's good to know that you did a show on plus size women, i'm one i have tried so many times to loose weight but always gain back more, i need to keep my weight down because of a health issue, but you know what Tyra it cost so much money to eat healthy and that's hard when you don't have a job. see i have been trying to get my house cleaning business off the ground by looking for the right clientiel too service, but i will keep on with this because some one will give me a call. but look girl you keep on being real that's what the people like never be a fake or lie too your t.v. viewers because when they have some one who can relate too them and their problems and some one who wants too help them in one way or another that's makes a world of differance in their lives, so take care and always be thankful for the mother GOD has Blessed you with and your Dad for the good up bringing they instill in you ok bye now hope too hear from you one day.

Hi tyra , First let me start off by saying that I am a person who's very inspired by you. I am an overweight woman but know after watching your shows I know that I am beautiful. Thanks for all of your inspiring shows and you talked about sister hood on one of your shows and what is the worst thing a sister can do to you well instead of me being the one that got hurt I hurt them and because of your show I am working up the nerves to call them and tell them I sorry I just hope that that times comes soon so that I don't have to live with the regrets because now they are overweighing my dreams keep making those show that can help us to face our fears because you are helping me to conquer mine thanks tyra

I just want to know when in the hell this show is going off the air????? I am sick of it being forced down our throats. Terrible, terrible show.

Hi Tyra, I am having some hard times at this moment. I know there are alot of those in the world. I try to watch your show everyday that I can. I really enjoy the show you are so real and I know that you care alot about others, you are a great person and I feel that anyone that loves their mother as much as I do, are real. I seen a show that caught my eye, it is the one where you dressed up as a big woman, that was an inspiration, you care and now as you know it is a very difficult thing to go through. Well on with my dilima, I am looking into alot of weight loss programs, I have to loose weight, for medical reasons. I have went through testing and EKG and bloodwork, and my family practictionist has even wrote a letter to the insurance co, and the hospital where I was suppose to go. I have been dealing with this since July of 2005, I was hoping to get the sugery before my deductable runs out. Now I have to go to a diffrent place to get this done. This hospital needs $2000 before I can have the sugery. So again I have to wait and now the deductable will be due again which is $500, so now I just want to give up. I know I can't, I have to keep trying and hope for the best. I need help with this, I need to do something, I have picked up more hours at work and also I have my 12 yr old son, and my husband, it takes both incomes to make it, so I'm still trying, but I feel I am not getting anywhere. Thank you so much for letting my talk about this. Give me some feed back if you get some time please. I really don't know what I can do at this point, I am lost and very depressed. Yours truely Jacki Lukacs phone# 330-626-3194 address 2964 Work Rd. Ravenna, OH 44266

Tyra, I realize you do not know me, but I viewed your show on Tuesday, when you had added alot of weight onto your figure, I admired You, considering the work you had to obtain to do what you had done.Your absolutely right what you had stated on your show.All in all beauty is in the inside, not the outside, I know cause years ago I use to be like Shallow Hall, I had always judge a girl on how she looked on the outside, which was very Shallow, All in all after watching the Movie Shallow Hall, it makes an individual what's really important, and the real thing is You never listen to what your dumbass friends opinion is. It's what You think.I hope your segment was an Eye Opener for other Shallow Hall's out there. Continuing Success with your show. Take Care Tyra Thomas
