Dear Tyra, I am a college student who has high aspirations of pursuing a career that will change the lives of many. I am a pre-medical student at one of the nation's most competitive universities. I spend nearly thousands of hours volunteering per year, and I am a leader in many organizations. I work multiple jobs to pay my rent to get through school. However, recently, I found out that I had an abnormal brain lesion. I do not know what it is yet, but it does come with some pretty debilitating symptoms. At times, I cannot see for hours, and I have headaches that last for hours as well. While I am thankful to be here and to be getting my education, I am feeling discouraged and deeply saddened by my recent diagnosis. I would like a makeover to help me get through this time. So far, the only things getting me through this is God, my family, and the hope to one day be in medical school. So please Tyra, I would LOVE a makeover.

I'm a 34 year old mother of three. I quit a successful career to care for my middle daughter who suffers an immune disorder. During the past year, I returned to college, worked night shift (so I could take my daughter to treatments), home schooled my daughters, registered my son for college, AND gained 25 lbs! JUST in time for my husband to be deployed for a year! The LAST thing I wanted was not to feel and look great for him! I'm back at the workouts hard-- making progress and no longer employed. My goal is to look great when he returns home. And, I would LOVE to have a professional photos- sexy "Grown Woman" (as described by MJ Blige), classic, and a lil something for him to think about til he comes back home! (yeah.. gotta do sumthin to keep it goin with all THIS goin on in life after 10 years- he's still got me lookin so Crazy in Love!)- God Bless!

Hello Tyra, I really love your shows and the way you help people regain their self esteem. I sort of have this problem and I don't know if you can help, but I'd really appreciate it if you can. I'm a Kenyan (Africa) and 21 years old. I've always had a problem with hair in all the wrong places: the face, the tummy, lower back, buttocks, upper and lower legs. At times I think I was supposed to be a boy! It's really affected my self esteem because I can't dress like my friends do. I don't have finances for electrolysis or laser hair removal and I'd love 2 get rid of all the unnecessary hair. If you can help in any way, I'll really appreciate it. Thank you for being there for people like us. God bless you Tyra.

Hi, My name is Liz and I'm 13. I watch the Tyra show everyday except for when my mom deems a show "inapropriate". I love how you're so successful with being a top model and then being a talk show host and all, but some of the outfits you've been wearing lately really don't suit you. For instance, when you last had Tina Knowles on your show. The dress was pretty, but there are other dress from her line that would've looked a lot better. I think you should continue dress like you did when you were modeling. Your outfits were always gorgeous then.

Hey Tyra! My name is Emma Lowe.I'm 20 years old and I just had my first child with my high school sweetheart of 4 years. I know I'm young but I don't want people to look at me as being an irresponsible parent because of my age. I would like to have a more respectful look, I want to be a role model for my daughter and while getting pregnant at the age of 20 was not planned I would like to be seen as the wonderful mother that I am, not some irresponsible teenager. Teach me to dress for the job as mommy without looking too old.

Olá Tyra! Chamo-me Márcia e tenho 18 anos. Moro em Portugal (país do Cristiano Ronaldo e Nelly Furtado), mas não perco um episódio do teu programa. Admiro-te porque defendes bem os direitos das mulheres e, além disso, o direito das mulheres "negras" tal como eu e tu somos. Espero que continues assim e que nunca mudes. Ah!Não ligues às pessoas más, és superior. Beijos
