Tyra, Tyra, Tyra. Let me quickly pull you up.

First of all, I WANT to like you. I want to be supportive of a successful black women who serves as a role model for other black females and you are stacking that $ ALL on your own. However...It is time for me to go ahead and stop biting my tounge.

1) You are a hater



Tyra decided that the month that Beyonce's cover dropped was the perfect time to remind us what an IMPORTANT figure she was in Black History. Ummm negative. Please take a seat.

2) You are the Diddy of Modeling

Just like those poor souls on Making the Band, Tyra likes to ride the wave of each season of America's Next Top Model then quickly forget about the winners when it is no longer of benefit to her. I just don't understand there being like 7 seasons of a show where no one actually becomes a "top model"

3) I believe Karrine

Now I have never picked up a book by Karrine "superhead" Stephens. But I do know one thing. She has never to MY knowledge been sucessfully sued for defamation. So I take a lot of the things she says to be true. Including this little tidbit about Tyra Banks:

PR.com: In The Vixen Diaries you talked about your experiences doing the press tour for Confessions of a Video Vixen. You mentioned Tyra Banks being a hypocrite and you described her as being a female “male chauvinist,” and said that she turned on you during the interview. What did you feel that she did that was unfair, for people who didn’t see it?

Karrine Steffans: To make a very long tragic story short, when someone who is really not that different from you privately, but is publicly different from you, takes a public high road, then at some point it’s just disgusting. I think that Tyra was new in her job. We filmed my show before her first show ever aired. So, it was two months before she even hit the airwaves, so she was very new at her job. I don’t think that she understood, in her newness, how to be objective while doing the interview and not letting her personal feelings get in the way of being a talk show host, like her mentor which would be Oprah. Having been on Oprah and everyone else, it gave me a chance to see, “Ok. This is how you do it right and this is how you totally fuck it up.” And Tyra totally fucked it up. But she was new. So, I’m going to give her that credit. Maybe she didn’t know or understand, or maybe she’s just a giant bitch.


I mean why did Tyra get all besides herself with Karrine if there wasn't some
truth to what she was saying? I mean I do remember wondering what the heck she was doing in Higher Learning. Came to find out she was dating John Singleton...hmmm

Anyways you can agree or you can disagree. Shoot Tyra might be what Beyonce and Rihanna are to me (Your fave celeb hottie!)

But one thing is FO SHO. She should have NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER felt herself enough to do this little spread in Harper's Bazaar. I appreciate fashion and claps to the people who came up with the concept for this shoot. I mean THIS IS about to be how the Oval Office is looking in a few short months. But...

A) We could have just waited for Michelle to go ahead and handle this herself.

B) I'm not mad at this little cutie for portrayin Barack, he's trying to eat and he doesn't know any better. But Tyra, when they pitched this to you, you should have pushed your ego aside and DECLINED.

Ugggggg.
