Hello I wanted to say one thing before I get started on way I am writing you about me you are truly a blessing to people.I am sure you hear that all the time but you are. I am 30 years old and I have been married for 11years to my high school sweetheart.I have 3wonderful children,2 boy's and 1 girl.I love my family very much and I am very grateful for them.ButI have a really big problem with self convinces.My teeth are so bad that I can't afford to smile.The dentist told me that I have no enamel on my teeth and it will cast me alot a money. that I could them all pulled and get false teeth but I am only 30years old.I should be starting my life a happy life.but I am not.My current job is in home child care.I would love to help people and help children in every way possible but I do the in home child care because I don't have to deal with people face to face I don't go out anymore because I feel that they do take me seriously I am old 4"11 and people don't look at me as a woman and when I smile it makes it worse.I guess that I let them cause I feel I have no choice in the matter.All the way back to when I can remember I have always got made front off.I use to defend people that where getting made front off and put the focus on me.I don't know why but I felt like I was helping them but in realty I was hurting myself. Anyways I am not sure if you can help me I know that there are people worse off then me.but I do hope by the act

HELLO TYRA!IM 16& A HUGE FAN OF YOURS EVER SINCE I SAW YOUR SHOW WHEN YOU HELP THE GIRLS WOTH SICKLE CELL ANEMIA & HELP THE PEOPLE THAT WERE HAVING MONEY PROBLEMS. THAT SHOW REALLY TOUCHED MY HEART. I IMMEDIATELY STARTED CRYING & THANKING GOD BECAUSE YOU NEVER REALIZE HOW BLESSED YOU ARE TO NOT GO THROUGH SOME OF THE THINGS THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE TO GO THROUGH EVERYDAY! IT HELPED ME SEE LIFE IN A TOTALLY DIFFERENT WAY & I MADE A PROMISE TO MYSELF THAT I WOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR EVERYTHING THAT I HAVE & NOT UNGRATEFUL FOR EVERYTHING THAT I DONT HAVE=] BUT ON TO THE MODEL FOR A DAYI WOULD LOVE LOVE LOVE TO GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO THIS. I NEVER REALLY HAD MUCH CONFIDENCE IN MYSELF ALLTHOUGH I TRY TO HIDE IT. I HAVENT DONE ANYTHING VERY AMAZING, IM JUST A HIGHSCHOOL STUDENT IN CHOIR & STUDENT COUNCIL THAT IS TRYING TO DO GOOD SO THAT I CAN HAVE A GOOD FUTURE AND BE AN INSPIRATION TO OTHERS. TYRA MY STORY MIGHT NOT BE THAT MOST HEART TOUCHING BUT EVERYTHING I SAID IS REAL & IS COMING FROM MY HEART! EVEN IF YOU DIDNT PICK ME TO DO THIS I WOULD AT LEAST HOPE THAT YOU OR SOMEONE READING THIS WOULD BE MOVED BY WHAT I SAID IN THE BEGINING, BECAUSE REALIZING HOW BLESSED YOU ARE IS BETTER THAN ANY GIFT THAT A PERSON CAN RECEIVE!! HOLLA!

Hi Tyra, I watch your show when I can, and when I do I love it ;D. Now time to get down to the nitty gritty. My fantasy makeover, hmmmm. well recently I've been wanting to cut my hair about boy-short but not to short. I remember you saying you think woman with strong bone structure in the face look great with short hair, and that's something I'm debating on doing :/. So I need your help in that. I've always had long hair and just cut off 12" about a year ago. I've always wanted to cut my hair short to see how it looks but have been afraid too, because I don't know what I would think, let alone what other people would think :/. I know for sure though that I want it to be a nice fiery red with some black. I'm a bit on the gothy side and i want to embrace that too, in a sweet fashion-istic way ;D (I know that's not a word hahaha). I would also like to whiten my teeth so that those nice ruby red lipstick can look good on me. I have decent teeth already . . . I think :/. i also have somewhat of a hairy body and it makes me feel worse because I can't get ride of it, and it makes me feel embarrassed sometimes. That's why I don't like it when people get close up to my face and I would NEVER wear a bikini. As long as I can remember I've never really been a girl with high self esteem . . . maybe this new and improved makeover can help me out on feeling better about myself. All n all I also want to thank you for doing the things you

Hi Tyra. I missed your show on abused women and I hate that. I am a surviver of this terrible thing myself. But ten years later he still pops up in my head everytime I smile(far and few). You see I'm a low income mother of two boys that are now twenty-one and eighteen. He hit me in the mouth with a baseball bat. We had a record with the city jail for domestic violence as long as your leg. As the years have caught up with me my teeth have decayed and broken off. I;m thirthy-eight and look fourty-five. Because of a man and my stupidity(young,dumb,and you know the rest). Is there any cheap dental plan that you know of could give me a dicount on some at less decent dental work. Just need to feel like a whole woman again for me this time.

Hola, Tyra, Tu eres un Angel. Thats spanish for you're an Angel. I love watchin your show, Its like I can almost feel you, reaching out to people and touching their hearts with your words, youre amazing. Shame on those who doubted you! lol In this episode I was Inspired, and I Learned that Dreams can become a reality if you just believe with all of you're heart. I have a boyfriend who I have learned to love deeply. We want to Get married some day, but there's just one problem, he's embarrased by his teeth and refuses to get married unless he gets them fixed first because he feels so badly about them, that its not just an visible problem but its also a health issue, because he cant eat properlly because hes missing teeth. I have told him a million times that to me, It doesn't matter because I fell in Love with the person on the inside but to him its an issue that is breaking down his self-esteem and he even feels that he doesn't deserve me because he says my teeth are prefect. I think is wrong for him to think like that is just wrong because I love him for who he is, and hes the best thing that has ever happened to me. To me, he has a heart of gold, I just cant imagine myself without him, but it kills me inside that hes hurting so much because of this, and i just wish i could do something about it but it will take years for me or him to get the money for that. I just want him to be happy, and for him to smile in our weeding pictures and for this not to get in the way of us

HEY TYRA!! YOU ARE THE BEST!! YOU GIVE TEENS AND ADULTS THAT ARE INSECURE ABOUT THEMSELVES OR SOMETHING IN THERE LIFE, THE HOPE AND CONFIDENCE THAT IT IS OK TO NOT HAVE TO LOOK LIKE GIRLS IN MAGAZINES AND THAT BEING A LITTLE TO FAT OR BEING ASHAMED ABOUT THEIR APPERANCES OR RACE IS OK. THAT BEING US THE WAY GOD MADE US IS OK. YOU ALSO PUT OUT GREAT EXAMPLES FOR LITTLE GIRLS TO LOOK UP TOO BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT LIKE MOST CELEBRITIES BY, DOING DRUGS OR HANGING OVER A DIFFERENT MAN EVERYTIME YOU ARE SPOTTED IN PUBLIC. I CAN HONESTLY SAY IT IS NICE TO SEE A CELEB THAT FINALLY CARES ABOUT THEMSELVES ENOUGH NOT TO DO THOSE THINGS. YOU ARE ONE OF THE FEW CELEBS OUT THERE THAT USES YOUR FAME AND MONEY TO HELP THE THE NOT SO FORTUNATE, AND I WOULD LIKE TO JUST SAY THANKYOU SOO MUCH FOR CARING AND TAKING TIME OUT OF YOUR BUSY LIFE TO MAKE US FEEL BETTER ABOUT OUR SELVES. BUT BACK TO THE QUESTION ABOUT WHAT MY DREAM MAKEOVER WOULD BE IS, TO LOOSE SOME WEIGHT I AM 5'4 AND I WEIGH 181LBS. PEOPLE TELL ME I LOOK FINE BUT I DONT FEEL THAT WAY. I HAD MY SON 4 YEAR AGO AND CAN NOT GET THE WEIGHT OFF. I WOULD NEED A TUMMY TUCK I AM SURE BECAUSE THE SKIN ON MY STOMACH HANGS DOWN AND I AM MOST ASHAMES OF THAT. MY FIANCE' SAYS THAT HE LOVES ME THE WAY I AM BUT I JUST FEEL SO UGLY WITH NO CLOTHES ON. I ALSO WOULD LIKE A NEW LOOK FOR MY HAIR I WORK FULL TIME AND I AM A FULL TIME MOM AND SOON TO BE WIFE AND JUST NEVER HAVE TIME FOR ME.

Hello Tyra, I like watching your show because you give girls and women confidence in themselves. I am an ex drug addict and ex-con. I am a 35 year old single mother with two very beautiful little girls. I am currently living with my parents while getting on my feet. I am also attending Kaplan University online to become an alcohol and drug counselor because I want other addicts to know there is hope for them. Especially other mothers. Well to make a long story short while being a drug addict it took it's toll on my teeth and being incarcerated they managed to pull most of my teeth out leaving me with hardly any in the back of my mouth. I just want all my teeth in my mouth and a beautiful white smile. I am on welfare and only recieve aid for my youngest child and no longer have dental. I just want my beautiful smile back, to be able to smile a big cheese burger smile without looking like a pickett fence and feel confident in myself again. I love to laugh and smile and it is embarrassing. I need help and some awesome exercise techniques to tone up the bod. Thank you for your time.
