My fantasy makover would consist of my mouth getting redone, help me with my clothes, spa treatment and to lose some weight. For starters, I am not good at dressing girlie. I was raised with four boys so I am not that girlie. My teeth are so messed up. I have a few missing and they have changed a little bit in color. My self-esteem is low and I am 32 years old. But, I hide how I feel really well. I would like for people to look at me and be able to tell that I am really confident, not that it really matters what people think.

I would love to do a sexy vampire makeover. I love everything about vampires and would just be thrilled to have a fantasy makeover and photo shoot. Problem is find hot costumes to wear when I am a size 16, and finding photographers who are creative enough to make the big girls look good.

Hi Tyra, Thank you for the work that you do with the teenage girls and helping them to see that they are beautiful and special. There are so many women that don't know their true identity and you are truely doing a remarkable job with them. I'm a soon to be 38 year old and although I know my true identity and inner beauty when I look in the mirror I see a smile that doesn't reflect all that I'am. Tyra I have lost several teeth and this has really become a issue for me. I'm confident and love to speack to people but since this has happen I hold myself back from being all that I can be. I'm currenty a business owner and I'm barely making it, not because of the economy but because I find it difficult to meet new people. I am the secretary, and sunday school teacher of my church, I work at a homeless shelter as a case manager, and I'm active in my community. I really want to become a National Sale Director with Mary Kay. I have a passion for helping people discover their true identity by helping them transform from the inside out. As much as I love working with people I hold back alot of what I really want to do becasue I'm embarrased of my smile. So if I could have a fantasy or dream makeover it would be to get the my missing teeth replaced so that my smile can truely reflect what I feel snd know in the inside about myself. Tyra thank you once again for your inner beauty that's truely amazing!

Tyra, I love your show and always come away with a bit more courage than going in. I have reclused for 4 years and yearn to join the living. I fear that I will die alone, without a companion to share the "twilight" years with. I'm just too inhibited to even go out on a date. 15 years ago I had a Dystal Gastric Bypass. It was a very serious surgery, which without it, I probably would not be here today, and certainly would not be walking. I lost 205lbs in 10 months. It gave me back my health, but left me with a lot of extra flesh. I was able to get a tummy tuck, (which was a botched job), but am unable to get the legs, arms and face lifted. It is unsightly and I refuse to wear shorts nor a swimsuit. (I suffer the heat of summer by not going out). I was already very shy as I have horribly gaped teeth too. So I guess if I could have one wish come true, it would be to have the repairs I need. I want to smile at a camera for the first time since I was a little girl. I want to run without flapping skin tearing at my thighs. I don't know, I may be beyond fixing. But you did ask, "If I coud have my dream makeover, what would it be"? Thanks for everything Tyra.

Hi Tyra, I want to start by saying I love your show. You have very good topics. Now I am a middle age woman, I look after my granddaughter all day every day. I never had a makeover, let alone a fantasy makeover. I remember in grade school and middle school, I was always made fun of, because of my skin color, teeth and height. I never felt pretty. But as I got older. I put all that aside. I would love to have a fantasy makeover. Thank you Tyra for listening to my story. God bless you. Renee

Im 61 yrs. old, and for 31yrs. of my life I denied myself. I denied me the life I think I should of had, I was a drug addict, homeless, an ex-offender. I denied me the basic's of life, sobriety, peace of mind, the ability to pay bills, because the drugs took the strength from my heart. Today Im sober almost 10yrs. Im a care giver of seniors I have 2 of them. They know my back ground, When I needed a place to stay they came to the rescue. So today I am rescuing them from a nursing home for as long as I can. I found the Lord in prison, or should I say I found him again. I have 2 books out of poetry and short stories. Alot of my first book I wrote in prison, where I was for almost 4yrs. Leath correctional INst. at one time I was in a room next to Susan Smith. Where God showed me if I stayed doing the drugs and selling them Id be in the same boat as some of the most notorious murderers of our time. if I didnt change. doing the same thing each day under the watchful eye of strangers in uniforms. I wanted more, Today I ache to look a little more fem, Ive always worn mens clothes, Im not asking for a dress, Im asking to look more like a woman. I love who I am today, but when I look in the mirror I see a rough tough woman sreaching, reaching for the fem look that every other woman has. I am a twin also Ive never been fem, girly Ive always been strange in this body. Ive never had my feet done, make-up, nail polish, and for me to be thinking

To the lovely Ms, Tyra, I need a make over, but it not only starts with exs. It really has to do with the inner part of my soul. I would love to learn to be on time. It is so hard for me to be on time. A lot of the time I am just not prepared. I am having a lot of money issues. So sometimes I can't meet dead line I am suppose to meet. It cost me 6.50 to read the train back and forth to work I pay all my bills, and sometimes I have to go a couple of days with out eating to get by. Some times I just cry. I think my fantasy make over would start with some therapy, yoga classes, and singing, or dancing classes. I have never had my toes and nails done at the same time. Never had a facial. Never been waxed, and I have been wearing wigs for 7years, because I got into a fight with some woman and one man that was giving my mom drugs. They pulled out all my hair on the side, and that was about 7years from today. In 2008 June 26 I will never for get it I got in motor cycle accident it ate out the middle of my hands and I have road burn all over my arms through God grace it healed. Then in 2009 I lost my K-9 tooth I look like a black hill Billy. I would love to get a make over however I hear you say it all the time. It starts with in you first. I have some serious issue that I have never really got therapy for. I just always felt I would get over it, but I didn't I her

Hi Tyra... I have to say I LOVE your show. Fantasy makeover... WOW. well I have a long story but I will sum it up as... I have had the worst 3 yrs of my life. In 2006 I lost my husband to my best friend of 20 yrs. I then had to learn how to be a single mom and take care of all the bills alone. my teenager ran away the following year and then came home after 5 mos. I bought a little place and then lost it. This year my step mom past away and now my daughter turned 18 and left home. With all of this I have gained weight like crazy. I am @ 228lbs now. I have NEVER been this big and it is killing me... I have found out that I have an enlarged heart... My fantasy make over would be me losing about 80lbs and something to show me that I am as pretty as my future husband says I am. Thanks for reading and please keep the great shows coming.
