If you caught today's show, you know that Tyra revealed a few gems from the upcoming season of America's Next Top Model!

First, we learned that our beloved Miss J has some "big" things coming up. "Bigger and bigger..." Tyra also shared some new phrases you'll hear this year to add to your "fierce" vocabulary. Plus, a few of the ANTM celeb judges you'll see will include model Chanel Iman, Twitter-lover Kim Kardashian, and super sweet Lauren Conrad, who had a great time hanging out with the ANTM crew during filming.

This season of ladies 5'7" and under even includes a girl who was discovered in the Tyra Show audience!

Hi Tyra, i'm 5'4 and I was wondering if you are ever gonna have 5'7 and under seasons again?
 
Trya, I would like to start by saying you are a amazing woman! I love the fact that you are having a season of petite models! Now, i suggest that you have a season of PlUS SIZE MODELS! Im 5'11", but i am plus size. so i want to open up a magazine and see someone just like me! I can appreciate all women, small, tall, skinny and curvy. I want to say thank you for being a true pioneer in the industry! By the way, I LOVE YOUR NATURAL HAIR! I am a hair stylist, and i love the fact that you did this very public. i think that it will open up someones eyes to see that they can sport there natural hair and feel beautiful. THANK YOU, COURTNEY
 
I am sad to. You say that we dont need to be any one thing to be beautful that we should be happy with ourselfs. Guess what Im 5'4 and I dont need 8in heels or to make myself look tall to be pretty. Im beautful because Im short not in spite of it.
 
as a young woman who is under 5"5, i felt betrayed and misled by america's next top model cycle 13. when i first heard the news that tyra was having the first ever "petite" cycle, i was more than pleased- i was overjoyed. i thought, "it's about time that the world's concept of beauty is REINVENTED... not simply altered." but after watching this episode as well as the season premiere of antm, i'm more saddened than ever for numerous reasons. the first is that 95% of these girls were 5"5-5"7. meaning with heels they would be "model tall", defeating the purpose of "petite models". one girl actually wore 8 inch heels, making her well over 6 ft tall. tyra even said at one point in the show "it is about working with what you got.. and appearing to be taller" (basically that is what was said). i was offended. the second is that the drama is just too overwhelming. i feel as though you need to have " a story" to be on the show- a mother with cancer, surviving maddening circumstances, being "made fun of". the third is that still, one asian makes it on to the show. i think this makes the count 3-4 out of the numerous cycles. my question is this: why not simply be WHO. YOU. ARE. without trying to "appear" to be something else? without having some outrageous story, without being white, black, or hispanic? i am jennie, 5"2, asian, and not trying to look any taller than i am or be something i'm not. it's time that the world starts to recognize REAL beauty- not beauty that is made to look as close to "cookie cutter" as it can.
