“Tyra banks, super model sheds 30 pounds” The news has taken blogs, gossip centers and her fans into a blitz. Not long ago her swimsuit photo hit the internet, in which everyone can see her curvy body and she seemed to love her image, in fact she invited critics to “kiss her big fat bottom”. It is yet to be evaluated how the weight loss news is taken by the public in general. To me the news certainly evokes the memories of model Luisel Ramos who died of anorexia and following efforts to ban skinny models.
Tyra Banks has gone public about her approval of nudity. On the list of Forbes her pay rank is at 62 and she is regarded as being transformed from “Model To Mogul”. Tyra Banks is one of the few who are born with the talent. As she did some runway modeling in Paris, she was contracted for 25 shows which is world record for someone of her age. Name any world class brand and she has done work for it. Dolce & Cabana, Christian Dior, Chanel, she has been everywhere. The cover of the magazines like GQ and Swimsuit issue of the Supports Illustrated are reserved for white beauties, Tyra is the first African American to have broken the tradition. Victoria secret followed suit and chose Tyra to be on the cover of their catalog.
Multi-talented as she is, she has authored a book for women to enhance their natural beauty. Her T.V. career blasted with her lead role in “Fresh Prince of Bel – Air”. Her confidence has made her to host her own show “The Tyra Banks Show”.
In some extraordinary gesture, Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) have awarded her for her talents.
