Hi,Tyra I'm 11 years old.I would love if my mom could get a makeover from Miss Tina Knowles.It would mean the world to my mom and to me.You see my mom is always working and she is always tired.She never gets to go and shop for herself,because she always puts her family before herself and she is always cleaning the house.It makes me sad to see that my mom is so tired.Please Tyra can you give my mom the time of her life.

Hi Tyra! I love watching both of your shows. I think your a very inspiring person and a role model for me. I am not writng for me to recieve the makeover but my sister. My family is so proud of her since she recently graduated from high school and is going out East to Princeton. I live in somewhat of a small town in Iowa and everyone is so proud of her and she has been in the newspaper several times for all her accomplishments. She is extremely smart and talented. Even though she has all this sucess she is not the most smart at putting outfits together and needs a lot of help. Our situation is the opposite of most sisters situation, I am offering my clothes for her to wear places and she doesn't want them instead of her taking my clothes from me and me not wanting her to take them. She has worked so hard for everything she has accomplished. She tries very hard at her fashion, but its obvious she is not a natural fahionista. She definietly needs a new look for college and she is a very deserving young lady. I am asking you to please consider her for this makeover! Thank you

Hey Tyra, it's Victoria from Canada!! I need a makeover for a few reasons. I watch ANTM constantly, and I always wish to myself, "Man, I wish I could get one of the stylists to just... do WHATEVER they want with my hair, something "high-fashion" - just make it look good for a change!" My hair is a little longer that shoulder length, but I haven't gotten it cut in about half a year... because I dont know what looks good with my face shape! (oval but not really :P ) It is very thick, and VERY blah. Also, I look VERY young for my age. I am 16 and short, but most of the time people mistake me for an 11 or 12 year old! Its quite frustrating sometimes... I feel that if I knew how to do makeup properly I could look as fantastic as I feel, but it in reality that never happens. Please consider me for a makeover... as put in your words, "Ya gotta look fierce!" Thanks, Victoria

I don't think I need a makeover but my daughter does. She finds me an embarrassment. I'm pretty sure that, even if I did a makeover(NOT a haircut--my spectacular red curls are going NOWHERE!) she still wouldn't approve. She has a picture in her head of the perfect mother and I am seriously not it. She'll live.

Hi Tyra I hope its okey to write to you from all over the world. I watch you here Kenya in Africa in a small town called Nakuru in our local tv channel called Ktn. Am a wife and a mother of three girls and am 5months pregnant. I and my familly are are very big fans of your show until my three girls would like to be super models when they grow up and each day they cukwalk for us and my first girl has maintain that she has a body like Tyra and whenever she walks across she people refer her as miss Kenya yet she is only 14yrs. she is very cute like you Tyra. Tyra we trully need a makeover in our lives. it has been a long strugle with poverty with tribal issues soroung us that getting a job to do is just a night mare. am 5months pregnant and we do not even have a place we can call our home we live in a small rental house and every time we have suffered so much humulation when the owners have always kicked us out for the lack or house rent. I remember when I had just come from the hopsital delivering my third born even mystiches were not yet removedcoz I had underwent c/s which am likely to go for again for its my third c/s we were chased out of the house like dogs as our things were being throned outside as chidren scimmed in agony but they were so mercyless. sure if there is an opportunity for a makeover though we are far away in another country but pliz just consider us. we really need to start over again even if we are far we wartch you every single day and

*continuation to prior comment* Hi Tyra I just noticed I must over extended and not all my comment posted I sure hope you got the whole thing if not could please contact me at my e-mail so I could tell the whole story to you or one of your assistances it is so very important that I get to tell my whole story and why I sure would love help with a makeover for myself, daughter, and husband.

I am still battling today after 20 years but I keep going that is the main thing. I love my husband and daughter so very much I would not ever just quit no matter what the hand I am dealt. Thanks Again Linda Clark(Greatful and appreciative fan of yours)

Hi Tyra I am a very big fan of ANTM and the Tyra Banks show!!!! I love both of them because you seem to be such a kind and very genuine person which is a rare quality to finda anymore. I am a 46yr old mother and wife I just celebrated my 20th Anniversary this year!!! My daughter graduated this May and is now going to be attending college this fall. I am very proud of her she was a miracle child for my husband and I. My request is I am hoping you could help me with a makeover it doesnt have to be glamarous or too fancy just a little somehing to help give me a little boost. My daughter loves me and her friends do as well. They all refer to me as MOM and have over the years I love them all too!! However my daughter has recently started showing a concern with appearance she thinks I dress too old fashion and tries to help out by telling me how pretty she feels I am inside and out but has concerns that I just dont show it outwardly. My husband loves me no matter how I look but I now there are times he feels the same as my daughter and thinks I am just too ashamed of my appearance anymore. He has been there for me as the vows state"in sickness and in health" he is my best friend and has been for 21yrs I think that what make our marriage so strong we became the very best of friends before we ever decided to marry. But, I think they both have legitimate on their concerns I know I dont self confidence on how I look but I do make up for it with a

HI Tyra, i love watching your show. well my comment is about an office makeover. which in my case is me. i have worked in factories as a production worker for years and wearing uniforms, you forget how else to dress. well 2 years ago i was hurt on the job and 2 months ago i was terminated from that job. lucky for me i found a job after only 6 weeks. i am now a manager at a cash advance store and really need help with a wardrobe. while i was off work i got addicted to your show and learned a lot. but i still have issues with knowing how to dress. i dont even know what goes with what so the only clothes i have gotten so far are mostly black because i know it goes with everything. please, please help!!!! Thank You Very Much!!!!!

continuation to my last comment... my fathers passing we havn't had a lot of money because now we have to save for my 10 month old brother who is here with us today. now all i'm asking is for my dream hair. Shiny,silk, striaght, layered, with bangs type of hair. I want to feel beautiful. Thank you tyra (:

Posted by Kathleen Reynoso 06/14/09 12:35 PM

Oh wow tyra, where should i start ? Well this makeover that i want isn't a ful body makeover it's a HAIR makeover.Well when i was a little girl, about 7 or 8 years old hair wasn't an issue for me until i got to middle school. My hair is somrthing thath just gets me so mad everyday. I have A LOT of hair more than one would want. It's big and the bigger issue here is that it's curly, And when you have a lot of big curly hair it's a lot for a 15 - year old handle. I may sound like a whiny teenager but it's true. When i walk down the halls of school or the mall i honestly don't feel pretty i feel ugly. My dream hair is straight hair, beautiful, striaght, silky, shiny hair. Around August of 2008 i permanetly straightened my hair and i thought it was a dream come true. I never thought i would have staright hair because well my mom is against that and my dad wasn't and what mom says goes. But luckily i got what i wanted ans permanetly straightened my hair. So after i permanetly straightned my hair it looked graet but after i got it done they told me that evrytime i took a shower and got out i would have to straighten my hair. Now i thought that when i permanetly straightened i didn't have to starighten it at all at least until my old hair came back. So i just went with it and straightened it a lot . Now today my hair is ugly and burned. Now i have to cut my hair wait till my hair grows out and hopefully permanetly straighten it again, if i have the money because after my

Hey Tyra,you is quite a very nice young lady that has a lot of spirit to be able to do the things that you do, and I know that many people appreciate what you have done. I am a 52 year old mother of 2 boys, one is 34, and the other is 15, and I have 1 granddaughter, 2 step-grandchildrens, and 1 adoreable daughter-in-law. I am a Medical Assistant/Phlebotomist, and plus I am taking online courses at Colorado Tech to be able to do Forensic Science. It is great and I love every minute of it. My problem is make-up, I have never had a makeover before in my life, I do wear a little eyeliner, lipstick, but I would love to see how I look with a makeover. I am also a football, abd basketball mom, because my 15 years old is always on the go and I am always there with him no matter what. So if this could happen I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi Ms.Banks I am a fan of ANTM and The Tyra Banks Show. I really enjoy how you show each person that they are unique and individually beautiful. This is a huge self-esteem booster that everyone needs from time to time. I encourage you to continue to uplift and inspire people of all walks of life. I am writing on behalf of my heroine and inspiration, my mother. She is truly a positive inspiration and symbol of strength. There has been many trials and tribulations she has experienced in her life that have taken a toll on her spirit. Here recently she has lost her spark. She tells me she feels old and thinks she isn't attractive. This saddens me because I know that my mother is wrong. She is beautiful inside and out. Please help her see that! My mother needs a makeover to help her see what I see....a beautiful, strong, classy, driven-woman! Thanks, Ms. Banks.

Nevermind. Tyra, I'd love a makeover, so badly, but there are so many deserving people whose comments I just read. Please help them. Be the inspiration and the change that's so vibrant in society today.
