Hi Tyra! I have to say, I love what you are doing for young girls. Helping them to take the steps to becoming a model. I actually always dreamed of be on your show, Next Top model. But I guess I never belived in myself...My mom always told me to never have regrets in life. I have one, and that was, I never gave myself a chance. I remember in high school, walking down the hall, and suddenly this lady said "YOU" as she pointed her finger at me, "IN THAT ROOM NOW!". Well, I thought I was in trouble. I walked in and seen all these really pretty girls. They were scouing out girls for modeling...This was a dream come true, for me. But as I looked around the room I felt I couldn't compete. I turned around and walked out on what could have been...I have since had three children, my youngest is a girl, she is three (Eva). She is very tall for her age(long legs), as was I. I believe in her more then I ever did myself. My question to you is, "If I wanted to get Eva into modeling where do I start?" On your show today, one of your girls said "E-mail pictures, but I'm not sure, who should I e-mail them to? Thanks, T.L.C. and Eva.

Hi Tyra! I really love your show and today's show on girl fights was really eye-opening. I'm also looking forward to Backwards Day!! Tyra, I really think that you should interview Jourdann Dunn and Chanel Iman on your show. They are two of fashion world's hottest new top Black models and both are currently modelling in the Milan Fashion Week and walked in the Dolce & Gabbana, and Dsquared2 shows this week (Sidenote: if you haven't seen the Dsquared2 2009 S/S RTW collection, you should check it out immediately on Style.com. I think I Lookbooked like half the collection. It's sooo good!!) As a Black women, I'm glad to see that even though you, Iman and Naomi have retired, these two ladies will still represent for women of colour!

hey tyra!! i love your show but i was reading the requirements to be on americas next top model just cuz i was bored but it said you had to be 5 foot 7 inches which i think is not right because there are so many girls how would probably love to be on your show but they cant and when im old enough if it is still on air i would have liked to be on it but i would not have a chance because im to short so if you could like email bout that it would be awesome!! thanks:))

Dear Tyra, I have wanted to write you for the longest time. I am 20 years old , working full time as a server at ihop in denver colorado and i want to go to school but just don't know how to pay for it or how i am going to find the timeand I just feel lonely and depressed a lot.

They kicked me out when i was 18 because i made one stupid mistake and they told me i was no longer a part of the family and haven't been able to see any of them for almost 3 years and it just hurts. I finally moved in with my real mom almost 3 years ago and the first year went really well. then things started to get worse. my mom got back on drugs and was drinkin all the time and thats the whole reason i never lived with her in the first place. we started fighting all the time and she finally snapped and put her hands around my throat and tried to have me arrested after fighting back and giving her a black eye. there is nothing is this world that would make me happier than to have a normal life and normal parents but i know thats not going to ever happen. I was reacently living with my moms ex-feice untill he got a new girlfriend its nice to know that i can call him my dad and everything but for some reason i can't get close to anyone.
