To all the Top Model hopefuls who were affected by the New York casting, we are doing everything we can to make sure that ALL the girls who weren't seen get an opportunity to audition - WE'LL UPDATE YOU ON OUR PLANS VERY SOON.

It is so important to me to redefine beauty and to make sure that everyone gets a fair chance to pursue their dream. I am beyond excited for Cycle 13; for the first time ever, young women 5'7" and under have a shot at becoming America's Next Top Model! I encourage each girl to come out ready to rock the runway and show off their fiercest pose. I'm rooting for all of you!

HEY TYRA. I LOVE THE SHOW. I THINK YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL, INSPIRING, AND VERY COMPASSIONATE. BUT THE ONLY THING I DO NOT LIKE ABOUT THIS SEASON IS YOUR WARDROBE. YOU ARE CLEARLY SMALLER BUT I THINK SOMETIMES YOU WEAR YOUR CLOTHES TO BIG IT MAKES YOU LOOK WAY MORE SMALLER THAN YOU REALLY ARE. I LOVE THAT YOU ARE DIFFERENT BUT WHAT IS UP WITH THE CLOTHES?

Hi, my name is John and I'm from Seattle, WA and I watch ANTM all the time and I'm glad to see that you try to make changes every season and I respect and honor for that, and, you are a fantastic model without a doubt! If you want to make a BIG change, I think you should have a all-new season but this time feature all guys! Let's see where that will go! You should consider it definately! If you do- I will be the first to audition!!
