Hi Tyra my name is Jennifer I have a beautiful daughter named Tatum who everyone tells me I showed put in modeling. My mom said she hates to take her in public because every few seconds she gets stopped and people always talk about how pretty she is . Tatum is very sassy and I am afriad that she will end up as a snob she needs control! Tatum is Bi-racial, poor kid comes from a mother who is Italian and Native american and a father who is Black and White. But what a beautiful combo Tatum is something else. I want her to succeed and do things her father and I couldn"t do. I want her to be a model. She wears Baby Phat and looks cute as a button!!!

omg Tyra, u r like my role model. I love watching ur show everyday here in Los Banos,CA.I forgot to tell u but I am 14 years old and I really look up to u.I love ur hairstyls.I think u r the most beatiful person in the whole world. I luv u!!!
OMG! Tyra you're like my role model. I look up to you so much. I want to be a very successful woman like you someday. I want to model...it's been a dream of mine since I was younger and first came to know who you were and what you do. You're a phenomonal woman and you mean so much to me because you are such an awesome person to look up to. When I get the money and the transportation and anything else I need I'm going to audition for America's Next Top Model and hopefully I'll be able to show you the talent I have and the drive I have just from watching you. I was in detention one day and we had to write an essay about a person who is a role model in our life and I chose to write about you. This is a true story. LOL. You truly inspire me so much . I've been through alot in the past couple of years and I've put my parents through alot but I just know that if I follow my dream of becoming a model and become successful I'll finally feel like they'll be proud of me for something. I'm 18 years old and I feel like I have so much to look forward to. I can't picture my future without picturing modeling in it. I'd love the chance to meet you and get the chance to sit and talk with you. That would be a once in a lifetime opportunity which is why I so desperately want to be and need to be a contestant on ANTM. Hopefully and prayerfully I will be someday and I'll be able to meet you in person and get the chance to talk to you. Your talk show is awesome. I watch it everyday I can when I don't have to go to class. I don't know if it means much coming from me but keep up the good work, your such an inspiration, and I love you Tyra!
Love,

Hey Tyra!
Im an 18 year old young woman and i have this dream of becoming a model. I watch your show religiously! I mean everyday at 2pm everybody needs to get away from me because thats my time to be with you on my tv. I also watch ANTM and i wish i could be one of those girls but i am only 5'4 and i am classified to short to be a model. Whenever there is a mirror i am in it making a fierce face adn doing what i love to do... " Work It!" I am also a huge fan of Kimora Lee Simons and watch her show Life in the Fab Lane, and adore her daughters Ming Lee and Aoki Lee. I would love to come out to your show, but right now my family is not doing so well with money. I am one of seven kids adn i am the second youngest. My aunt adn uncle adopted me and my two older brothers from our mother which is his sister, because of her addiction to drugs, adn now we have lived with them ever since. Its been a hard life, but at the same time its been much better than it would have been. and of course i am thankful. Whenever i am down i always think " WWTD" ( What would tyra do?) And it solves all my problems. I want to thank you for giving my confidence and bringing my spirits up when they were down. I hope to be out to your show some time, because that is where all of my family is from anywyas, and they mostly all live in Brooklyn. Hope to hear from you, and maybe fulfill my dreams of coming out to see you on your show.
Love ALways,
Taryn Applewhite-Wade

Hey Tyra
My name is Taylor and I watch your show all the time! I am a big fan of America's Next Top Model as well. Ever since the first episode i saw I have dreamed about goin on your show, the only problem is I am only 13. I want to become a high fashion runway model like you and Kimora both. You guys have inspired me to do a lot. I draw my own clothes because like Kimora not only do i want to Be a high fashion Model but i want to have my own clothing line too! I want to go to a design school so i can fufill my dreams and make my family proud. I was thinking about how far you came and wanted some advice on how to get started so if you have some tips that would be great. I live in Maryland but havnt really been able to find any agencies! Please email me back it wouuld meana whole lot to me! I even wrote my seventh grade essay as a letter to Kimora Lee Simons but unfornally i never had a chance to get her info! If you have anything at all please give me a holla! lol. But yes this is greatly appriciated and I thank you for your time.
With lots of love,
your BIGGEST fan,
Taylor! =]
Why do I love you two so much? X3
Tyra!
You and kimora are my IDOLS, i read Kimora's book
cover to cover many many times! I watch your show everyday, and im currently watching older Americas Next Top Model episodes which
i wish to be on when im older. Im almost 14 and i am of mixed ethnicity and its always been a struggle for me..fitting in but not really feeling like you fit in. I want to be a model more than anything! Ive been to JRP casting calls, and Barbizan casting calls and made callbacks, however i read in Kimoras book that you should NEVER pay to get into an agency, they get there money when you get paid. Thats how i knew they werent legitimate. I want to show people what ive got..who i can be. I want to show these girls that hate that "hey, look what i became, and look where you are now!" I know i have model potential and i know im willing to do whatever it takes to become somebody.
Being on your show would mean the WORLD to me.
I would give anything to have that opportunity, If theres anything you can help me with tips, ways to out myself out there i'd LOVE to hear from you!

Hi Tryra
I honestly have to say that you and kimora lee simmons are my IDOLS... I think maybe its because u guys are such huge fashion icons... I don't kno, my dream since i was a little girl was to be a model. I take tons of pictures of everthing that i'm doing people think i'm kind of weird for doing that but I don't care I love it. I've been on differnt websites looking for different ways to get exposed. I have payed differnt agentcies to give me a shot of light but it didn't work, I heard you once said that you should never have to pay to be a model , if some one want's you to model for them it should be free if you have to pay then its a scam. I guess I've been scamed a few times but all I want is to live out my dream. Tyra if there is anythingyou can do for me PLEASE help me.

Please Tyra can i take you out to dinner when am in New York,cos that will be the only way for me to see,please.Love Harriet
I've been trying to get my daughter into modeling she loves to strike a pose and loves taking pics. She's 4 years old and I was wondering if you knew of any way to get her into modeling.
Hi Tyra! Do you think you will ever change the height requirement and age requirement to be able to try out for Americas next top model?
Hi Tyra!
Any good tips for young girls wanting to get into modeling, but short at height? Also i want to get my two yr. old daughter into modeling. Any good tips for a starter mom?
thank you. I love your show!!!
oh my gosh tyra,
ive been trying forever to post a comment or send you an email but hopefully you will read this. you are honestly one of my idols and i adore you and look up to you because before i would always put myself down or point out all my flaws but after watching your show and ANTM ive come to realize i should be happy with the way i look because im not in this world to please anybody but myself. i just want to thank you for that. also im very interested in hairstyling and photography, so ive come to let you know i will be doing your hair in the future or possibly having you in one of my photo shoots. hahahaha
thankyou for everything tyra
your truly amazing
love, MaRina
ps. im not a stalking fan
