Hello Tyra, similar to another writer's question I just read, I am also 32 years old and for years people have been telling me that I should model. Are you planning to change the age limit if the person still has a youthful look. People are telling me I look like 18 and early twenties. If not could you also steer me in the right direction where my talent would not go to waste. Monika

Hi tyra, my name is sam and i love to model in the mirror and strut my stuff at home but never really thought of doing it for real. but when i was i 14 this modeling agencie came to were i live and i thought what the heck if i make it cool if not o well but shockingly i was excepted in the barbizone modeling agencie, but i watch your show faithfully and on one of the episodes you said that if they really wanted you they wouldnt ask for money well barbizone really wanted me i was chosen out of 100's of girls but they still wanted 2,000$ which i didnt have... they tryed to get my mother to sell her car and some other stuff but i didnt let her of course especially after watching your show...anyways the point it i also watch your show americas next top model and ever since it came on tv i have wanted to be on the show myself because you not only give average girls a chance but teach them as you go.i would say im pretty average i just like to have fun be goofy and dress up but im also a little tom boyish at times ...people tell me i have cat like eyes and fair smooth skin..im not very tall but with heels im long legged and sexy...and i really want a chance be auditon for the show but when i try to apply the want to charged me ..im just asking you give me chance to audition if you like me i would gladdly except and be on the show work my hardest and become americas next top model. if not i will try somewhere else but your one of my biggest role models and

Hey Tyra! I auditioned for cycle 14 my name is Kiesha Hotson. I really really would love the chance to show you what I can do. I dont think it's too fair that the producers pick who you see, because maybe they wont see potential in me but you would. Anyways, hopefully I'll recieve a call back if not i'll be back, i'm only 18 so I have more chances.

Hello Tyra, I am 32 years old Model and for years people have been asking why haven't I tried out for your show? I was 29 then so I just missed the mark. I was just minding my own business today and another female just asked me the same thing again so I decided to write you in hope of a response via email on if you are planning to change the age limit if the person still has a youthful look. Right now at my age I've heard the ranges of 18 to 26. I'm 5-9 135lbs and been modeling since I was 15yrs old. If not could you steer me in the right direction where my talent would not go to waste. My walk is Ratchet as the young folk would say and I don't want to give up on my dreams of being an international model. I love your show and look forward to your response. JacQuelyn.

Hi, Tyra I am a former fan of ANTM and this is why. When the show first aired, I remember you saying something to the effect of "you created the show to help more women of color ( Black girls, etc.)get in the modeling industry. I have noticed in the last few seasons that the judges have managed to eliminate all the women of color (even Asians). The judges are picking ugly white women with lots of makeup on. It looks like the modeling industry is still biased, unequal, and boring. Too bad! I thought you were going to make a difference.

hi tyra my name is brittany, i am 15 years old and i'm 6 ft 1 in. i'm in a size 6/7. i tried getting into the modeling thing, every one says i should. i believe they are right. i love 2 and 3 inch heel and i love to get dressed up and show it off. i tried basketball but came to the conclusion that i'm not athlethic. i have a complex about my height because i'm the tallest girl in my school, imagine that. next year i get to date, i'm dreading that. boys don't like to date girls taller than they are. i think you should have a teen top model,too. my mom back me up with ever thing i do, she's great.

Well tyra I have a pretty upsetting story to tell you. Ok I applied for ANTM cycle 13. I sent in my application and video and everything. Hoping I would get a call back. Well 2 months later I got a call stating that a guy named kamron Patronie stated he was the excutive producer of the ANTM and that I had been choosen to come to New York for additions. Thinking it was ligit I went for it. He even gave me time's and dates to when I was suppose to leave and pick up my airline tickets. I was so excited and overwelmed that I had finally got my chance to make something of myself in the modeling industry. I went and told all my friends and family that I had a chance to be on ANTM. My grandmother even took me to the airport in Charlotte, N.C. We left at 6am on the 21st of July to make sure I got there on time. The guy had told me that I needed to be there at 8am to pick up my tickets. So when I got there to pick them up. They told me that they had no record of me having a flight out to New York at all.I was devastated and very upset. I called the check-in # he had gave me. I actually talked to someone and I told them what was going on with the tickets and they told me they would look into it and call me back. About 1hr 1/2 later no one called me back. So I tried to call the number back and no one answered. I know there are scams all over the world and everything but for someone who has always Dreamed of being a Model all
