Join B.I.O. Campaign
What is beautiful? One thing I know for sure, it's not just what we see in those ads and fashion magazines and on TV - it's not cookie-cutter perfect, it's REAL fabulous. It's women who are short, tall, skinny, juicy, and what I'm calling Fiercely Real (what we used to call Plus-Sized) and it's women who are quirky, clumsy, shy, outgoing, and maybe even a little kooky. As long as women are comfortable with who they are and what they look like, I say they ARE beautiful! So now it's time to expand the definition of beauty by telling the media, and showing them, that we are all beautiful and that we're not going to sit down in that narrow little box of theirs.
The reason I created America's Next Top Model was to show the world that girls of all kinds can be beautiful. And it's not just about me doing it, y'all... it's time for you to help me, okay? Go, right now, and look in the mirror and find the beauty in you! And help your friends do it too. And then tell those magazines and websites and TV shows that they need to start showing more people who look like you!
And show us what you're doing... make a video, 30 seconds or less. Tell us your first name, where you're from, and what you're going to do to expand the definition of beauty. Promise to throw a Beauty Inside & Out event in your community, or start a B.I.O. blog, or start a letter-writing (or e-mail) campaign to your local TV station. You can also shoot video of you actually doing your thing! Then, upload it on the video player and write comments below it. Can't wait to see you! I'm going to be looking at every single one. Seriously. :)
Thank you so much for joining me. It's gonna be fun.
Fierce & Love,
Tyra aka "TyTy"

NOW I GUESS THAT DREAM WENT DOWN THE DRAIN. I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I'M A FULL FIGURE WOMAN AND I WANTED TO HAVE A CONTEST BETWEEN FULL-FIGURE WOMAN AGAINST SKINNY MINNY. THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A GOOD EPISODE FOR YOUR SHOW. YOU WOULD HAVE ALOT OF WOMAN DOWN FOR THAT AND THE WINNER FROM THE FULL-FIGURE GET TO MODEL ON OF MONIQUE'S GARMENTS AND THE SKINNY MINNY WOULD GET TO PARTICIPATE ON YOUR SHOW ANTM.

You have worked and lived around the fashion industry and you know first hand that up until very recently the industry did not promote health with the demands they put on the models. It was awesome to see you break away ( eat some carbs, lol) and help the rest of us be more self assured about real beauty. I'm 5'2, 130lbs and expecting my first child with my fiance. When I first started dating him I was 5'2, 115lbs, 34B-27-36 and I still didn't feel attractive. He helped me with that a lot and last year was the first year that I wore a 2-piece swimsuit.

Your message is helping accept myself for who i am so thank you for that.

And you make me feel better about my life and myself. I am who I am, and if someone doesn't like me the way I am, then they can leave. Life is to short to worry about what others think. I love you Tyra, your a true hero.

Any advice you can offer me. She's gotten in trouble in school, making bad decisions and pretty much screwing her life up pretty good. She used to want to be a police officer or a model. Now, she says she is too fat to become a model. I'm waiting on a call back for some family counseling, but would love any advice you can offer. Thanks in advance!!!

I think this is a great idea, inspiring thoughts to better our communities... and all over the world. I plan to use my artistic gift to raise money so I can help children and teenagers who are being abused or dealing in drugs. I will be painting public figures, who inspire our youth..people like yourself. I already have a painting of Taylor Lautner, he is a huge inspiration and role model to many young people around the world and one of the few young actors who is 'keeping it together'. Thank you for this opportunity : )

No one in the world should be able to bring them down. With that being said everyone is beautiful in their own different way just like the fact that everyone has different finger prints. So beauty is all around
