Tyra’s at it AGAIN. She has a new show coming out that is essentially “Top Model” for plus sized teens. She spoke about it on tv media outlets last night saying “I want real teens to say…oh, I’m beautiful too.” She also wants people to understand what a real plus size model is….and that they do exercise too. Ugh…Tyra.
By the way, the winner will get a one-year modeling contract with a major agency, a photo spread in a major fashion magazine, and a photo with Tyra on the cover of Tyra’s MagaLine. I just can’t contain my excitement.
Tyra Banks: “I’ve always felt it was my mission to expand the narrow perceptions of beauty; through America’s Next Top Model, True Beauty and The Tyra Show I challenge industry and universal standards by featuring and celebrating non-traditional beauty, and stressing that true beauty is both INSIDE & OUT. Today, I’m announcing my FIRST EVER plus-sized teen model competition which I’m calling the Fiercely Real Teen Model Search; plus-sized tends to have a negative connotation and I want young girls to realize that what’s considered plus-sized is the average American woman. That woman is healthy, fit and beautiful. Adolescence is such an impressionable time in a young woman’s life, and I hope this contest helps teen girls discover their own beauty from the inside out.”
The finalists will be introduced on Tuesday, March 2nd’s “The Tyra Show,” with the winner being crowned on Wednesday, March 3rd’s show
