airbrush much?!

# 2

that airbrush on the stomach is too much

I agree theres been airbrushing going on. She atleast should have done something with her hair

# 4

That is not the same suit. I do think “Fat Trya” looks better than “Skinny Tyra”.

And I thought she did this to prove she still looked good not for BHM.

# 5

It’s not even the same bikini!

# 6

Umm, I know that Tyra’s been through airbrush/photoshop heaven, but she doesn’t look half bad. She’s definitely not nearly as toned, has a bad weave, and I don’t even think that’s the same bikini, but she looks pretty good. Of course, back in the day, she was smoking hot. She and Naomi ruled the catwalk then. Too bad that though she’s psycho, Naomi’s still doing real good physically. Tyra’s slacking, but that’s why she’s retired.

# 7

I hope it doesn’t really look like that, but her boobs are too saggy in the second shot. Ugh! Of course the first photo looks the best. Her skin is tight and toned. Her stomach looked really good. Her hair also looked much sexier.

Oh well, remember you pretty ladies: This is what all of you have to look forward to! After a certain age, it doesn’t matter one ounce what you used to look like. We are all on equal playing field once age sets in.

Tyra still looks pretty good, though.

cpt obvious @ 02/20/2007 at 8:42 pm

should be called the 10th anniversary airbrush edition. besides the shitastic hair, what HASN’T been airbrushed on her body? fat tyra needs to decide if she’s going to believe her rhetoric of being fat and proud, or just admit she’s fat and bitter and single-handedly keeping an army of photo editors in business while screaming, “i love my fat ass!” through twinkie-stuffed cheeks.

# 9

does this mean we are finally past the “look, i’m not really that big” portion of her life? i’m so over it.

not to be rude, but does anyone really care that she posed twice in this bikini?

She looks somewhat good. She’s not fat at all.

krungkrung @ 02/20/2007 at 8:58 pm

the pic on the left, looks like Jessica Alba’s body hehe, those pics r xtremely fotoshopped, c’mon, not that stupid duh?

[Fug Face Maniston] @ 02/20/2007 at 9:01 pm

When Tyra [black] takes pictures she gets airbrushed?!?
But when a white person takes pics their gorgeous. Lmao.

dlisted sucks! @ 02/20/2007 at 9:04 pm

If the look on her face wasn’t like that and the weave was better, it wouldn’t look so bad. The pose is really bad too. She looks scared. I think she was going for the sexy but innocent looks but she failed. Even if photoshop helped, her body still looks good.

shoelover @ 02/20/2007 at 9:16 pm

Why does her belly button look like a black hole in the 2nd one? Other than that she looks good with the curves!

[Fug Face Maniston] @ 02/20/2007 at 9:17 pm

lol @ Jessica Alba’s body

Jessica is about 20 pounds less than Tyra was in that photo on the left 10years ago. And Alba has no breast. [lol]

Tyra Banks is black?

How come she has hazel eyes and blonde roots?

Look at this and then look at the pics there

That is some SERIOUS air brushing. Why didn’t they just have someone draw her from scratch?

suck on that.

Why does Tyra go on and on about her body, if that’s not even her body in the
photoshopped cover?
What a liar.

Her thighs dont look like that there is no gap. Nothing wrong with that, but
don’t lie about your body and say you are a role model for girls. Be honest.

Black people have hazel, blue, brown eyes just like white folks. Tyra’s is well known for her hazel eyes.

She’s looks good to me. She’s preserved well over the years, but not really surprised people of color don’t age as bad:P

I can’t believe I am admitting to this but I watched the this episode of Tyra Banks Show. They had to add material to the bathing suit. But these pictures side by side the suit looks totally different. Different color and everything.

I hate how Tyra tries to act like she is changing the face a beauty by protraying “every woman”, mean while America’s Next Top Model is looking for the stereotypical waif thin model.

Pick a side Tyra. You can’t have it both ways!

You can tell by the way the dots are lined up that it’s not the same bikini. Unless when she was thinner the dots layed differently but i’m pretty sure the older bikini had less dots around the chest area and the dots on the bottom half don’t match up either. Nice try though, but if you’re really going to say you can wear the same bikini 10 years later at least try and find the same one. The 2nd set of pics do look fierce. Her body looks flawless to me.

I hate to break it to all of you but every single picture you have ever seen on the cover of a magazine as been airbrushed. Some to a greater extent than others — but if you think a photograph can go to print and be put on newsstands as is, you are seriously misguided. All cover photos are airbrushed. Period.

yes, but then they are mixed.
Why should a mixed person be rather black than white, even if he/she looks white?
That makes no sense.

her stomach is a little wider and her hair looks terrible and that is not the same bikini. I am pregnant now and i model and before i got pregnant which was a months ago, i had my first child 4 months before but after i has him i started to model again and i was so unhappy with my “fat” body and i decided not to go with airbrushing and be natrul and let people see the real me and what people look like wih out airbrushing, if i had went with that i would have been dissapointed in myself becuase that is not the real you. My ad for Guess Jeans came out natural and even though i didnt look perfocto i was happy because that me. Tyra had some mafor hair brushing. also she should have curved her stomoach like in the first one. Not just straight like that. The first one is def. hotter.

blackfriday1978 @ 02/20/2007 at 10:45 pm

I don’t mind she is fat or slim, I honestly think that she looks good either way. It is just so sad that she is agreeing to hide the real her with the airbrushing, and at the same time telling the world that she is okay with her body image. She is in serious denial…

[Fug Face Maniston] @ 02/20/2007 at 10:55 pm

its NOT the same bikini, do people think she pulled the old bikini out of a draw somewhere. its a new bikini modeled after the original. that’s why its a different color and that’s why he dots are not in the same places. wouldn’t that be obvious?

I think the picture would of sucked if she wore the same exact color bathing suit as before.

beyoncepits @ 02/20/2007 at 11:09 pm

Lol, she’s such a fatty.

Here piggy piggy!

Exactly # 23

If her eyes are naturally hazel she is not 100% African decent. She is famous for her contacts then. Unless she has two mixed race parents who carry one hazel allele (the type of gene determining eye colour) each. 100% black people always have 2 brown alleles.

And fug face I think the word you’re looking for is drawer. If she’s supposed to duplicating the cover then she should be in the same suit. It’s not like a multi million dollar company couldn’t have it made.

You’ll note who jumped on the race issue first. Way to go bigots.

_______________________________________________

That’s not true at all. We saw Tyra, in a bathing suit, with Humungo thighs and cellulite and all. And now these pics come out? Obviously, there’s been lots of airbrushing. That’s not saying that she looks ugly. I think her body looks fantastic here. If only it were real.
I’m an Angelina fan, as I take from your name that you are too, and we’ve seen pictures of Angelina that are completely airbrushed. She still looks good in them, but it’s kinda obvious that there has been work done to them.

Black, White, air-brushing is air-brushing. :)

I personally don’t care to hear Tyra speak, and I think she is a little retarded, but there is no denying that she is beautiful. Some of you people are truly ridiculous, blind, and probably ugly! I can saw with complete certainty that none of you would ever have the guts to take a picture, not once but twice, for national consumption.

P.S. It is the same bathing suit with a little extra material on the side of her boobs, as well as extenders for the bottoms.

She has clearly lost a lot of weight since that fat photo was taken on that beach. Which begs the question, why go on and on about how you are so not fat and get all preachy about everything if she went and (probably) crash dieted to lost the weight that fast…

Like fine wine; it just gets better with time.

[Fug Face Maniston] @ 02/21/2007 at 12:31 am

I’ve seen tons of white women on this site and even tho we all know that most to [all] photos get airbrushed for some reason people never seen to bring it up. which is completely cool with me. but as soon as Tyra a black women has a photo on here the first thing that’s said is its airbrushed, and photoshopped.

I’m sure half of those statements was made cause people were bored. but everyone can tell she isn’t fat, photoshopped or not. black females catch way to much slack. theres something wrong when Britney Spears gets more love than Tyra Banks does.

Tyra still looks great. Ten years is a long damn time! Good for her for having the courage to even attempt this. My only gripe is her hair. She looks like she has acute swimmer’s hair, complete with the chlorine discolouration and the burned out, stringy ends. :(

for somoene who “doesn’t have to live up to that standard”, she sure is trying to show everyone that she still got it, pleaasse

woah there! airbrushed to the maximum! but she still looks good :)

tyra Bank is beautiful and a good person from what she seems and to be honest i dont care if she is fat ,skinny or ugly whatever she is i like her for her personality and people who are saying that tyra only puts skinny girls through ANTM is so not true almost 3 cycles they had a plus size woman even if they didnt make it in top5 but still tyra supports plus size woman, tyra support both ways of beauty plus size and size 0 woman !!!!

Thank god for photoshop otherwise she wouldn’t have been able to pull off this stunt! She just has to face it….she will never look like she did on the first cover….unless maybe she starts hitting the gym and eating less.

ok so EVERY magazine photo goes through a lot of photoshopping regardless of what ethnicity you are. Make up can only go such a long way. Don’t underestimate the power of photoshop, haven’t you seen that dove commercial? And it might be the same suit just in a different size, which would be reason why the dots don’t line up the same way.

pleasestop @ 02/21/2007 at 8:58 am

Nice airbrush. She looks nothing like that now. Get over yourself piggy banks.

malibumom @ 02/21/2007 at 9:45 am

Just for the record=All of us are 100% African descent! Some of our ancestors moved to other places and adapted. And if that offends you then let’s just be honest-WE ARE ALL ONE RACE-HUMAN-There are issues on both sides and lest we forget, black or white-as long as we are american we have some ppl who hate us more than we hate each other-so much so, that they will die trying to kill us!

tyra, no one cares whether you’re fat or skinny, so please stop trying to justify your weight gain. point being, no one really cares about you.

Hey 41…

That’s just a theory.

Sorry honey but there’s not distinctive proof that everyone came from Africa. I know they may have taught that to you in school but it’s just a theory. Sure there are fossils. But that’s it. If you really go by that logic the first fish to breath air was found on Ellesmere Island. Are we all from there then?

So preach elsewhere. Just for the record.

It’s tough being a beautiful woman, no matter what race or color you are. It’s hard being idolized and cherished, and then one day all of that is gone. I’ve noticed that the most beautiful famous women leave the public eye once their youthful appearance begins to wane. It’s just hard to face the facts.

Maybe it’s just the quality of the scan, but that purple space between her breasts looks very odd and distracting.

TYRA CAN KISS HER OWN FAT ASSE…………….

Look closely - I say NOSE JOB. Perhaps she had a deviated septum as well; although she sleeps alone just like Aniston does, so who cares if she snores.

why is she not wet in the new one????? she has no more abs.

O for crying out loud! The cover photo has been airbrushed so much I don’t think we can even call it a photo anymore. Her skin looks plastic.
I agree with everyone who says that she should either stick to her ‘fat and proud’ story or just stop lying and pretending to be a hero to all plus sized girls. I don’t think she looks bad now but if she had her photos altered so much then she obviously isn’t very happy with her body, and that makes everything that she says not only annoying but also hypocritical.

Mondo Bongo! @ 02/21/2007 at 12:05 pm

You can’t please everyone!!! and who wants to??
Tyra do your thing baby.. lol (all the way to the bank) hahaha

Haters Unite!!!

I don’t even understand why race was being played here on this blog…when I first saw the photo, I didn’t say “black Tyra was airbrushed” or “why does black Tyra have hazel eyes?” That is ridiculous…anyone who cannot discuss the photo rather than bringing up race have their own issues to deal with…

I saw the photo and thought, “she doesn’t look 1/2 bad even if it is airbrushed.” Haven’t any of you read or looked at fashion mags? The cover models are always airbrushed along with the editorial pictures and ads…airbrushing is nothing new and as far as I can remember it hasn’t mattered what race or ethnic background you are…the mags are always gonna erase the stretch marks, cellulite, pimples, etc…that is just a fact…I mean, when Demi Moore posed for Vanity Fair nude while pregnant, did you really believe there weren’t stretch marks somewhere??

Personally, I don’t care either way…I’m not sure why this is an issue…I have always found Tyra beautiful the same way I do other models…and anyone who calls her fat has a warped view on beauty or is trying to start some serious debate…if you say she is fat, then you’re fighting on the side of all the fashion critics who believe 100 lb. models are curvy and fabulous…we need some more curvy role models so young girls can avoid eating disorders and a warped perspective on their own body image…

You go girl!

Angelina - one word for you - PSYCHO!

fashiondiva @ 02/21/2007 at 2:42 pm

I saw Tyra on ET on last week and she was having an interview with AJ and what she conveyed to him was that it was indeed the same bathing suit from her first shoot however; they had to add some more fabric to the bra portion (she acutally showed it to the camera so that the audience can view for themselves) Not that this infomation really matters but I thought I would pass it along. I am more than sure you can catch the interview on ET’s website so you can hear what she says about all the comments in regards to her weight gain. My personal opionion is that it really does not matter. Live life and live it Abundantly! Who cares if the girl lost
or gained weight?

Airbrushing probably yeah … but there’s always or a lot of airbrushing in celebrity photos.. haven’t you all worked that out yet? That’s why they all look as skinny as models in Vogue… not realistic,..come on ladies get with the progam, you are being brain washed into thinking that everyone’s that thin.
Give Tyra a break. At least she looks natural and is trying to be honest…and not overloaded with plastic surgery or botox like a lot of her contemporaries.. Cindy Crawford & Linda Evangelista for one…

i feel so bad. i love tyra banks so much; she is amazing; and anyone who doesn’t give her credit is lame.. she was a super model. and now she’s a really motivational person who helps people… she went from model to oprah-like. and she’s really sweet and successful. i love her, but that is so airbrushed.. like.. too obvious. it looks like something my 10 year old cousin did on photo shop!

She is beautiful for sure.
And intelligent.
But she certainly got old, put on some weight..
But calling her FAT Tyra is way too much, people…she used ti be skinny, now she’s normal…in fact..she must be skinnier than most of America’s population for sure.
Of course it was photoshoped..but most of magazine’s covers are..even if it’s a Gisele Bündchen cover.
Tyra looks great, cause she’s beautiful and beu]ing beuatiful doesn’t depends that much on how much u weight.
Look at Nicole Richie: thin as hell and still ugly.

And ‘im not a fat woman defending another fat woman.

She doesn’t look as bad as ppl make her out to be.
Yes…she’s not as toned as she once was..but shes’s beautiful nonetheless…

I’m sure that she looks 100 times better than the ones who are talking trash on here.

for somoene who “doesn’t have to live up to that standard”, she sure is trying to show everyone that she still got it, pleaasse
—————————————————————-
EXACTLY my thoughts!!

Ya’ll sum Haters! why cant she just do her without peoples always judgin her! whether she thin or fat she is still beautiful. i think a lot of yall are hatin because yall wish yall could be as beautiful as she is…

No, they do NOT always have to be mixed in order to have different color eyes besides brown. Are you guys geneologists or something?? :smh: I know several black people with colored eyes.. u don’t necessarily have to be “mixed”. And the reason most “mixed” people side more with black is because most of the time they look more black than white aka their skin is darker or *an olive color*, their hair still very thick and curly/wavy… and yeah, way to go bigots.

Tyra is really hot but looks soooo uncomfortable in the new shot. She should have gone to the gym and gotten into shape before doing the new shoot. I realize she was the first African-American to be on the cover of SI Swimsuit Edition but who celebrates themselves? Insecure much? And no one has commented on the difference in perspectives in the two shoots — much further away from the camera in the new shot. Which probably means she is quite a bit larger now, so the picture is misleading. If you can’t do something authentically, don’t do it at all.

i think you all are some hataz the swim suit hair background is not suppose to be exactly the same as it was 10 years ago but close ass possible i think she still looks gorgeous she is just curvier than she was in the other pic 10 years ago she dosent have to be stick thin to be gorgeous ppl just mad cause she in her 30’s and look better than half these broads in their 20’s

Ok, tyra looks beatful, for all of u who dont belive that her body actully looks like that ive seen her llive. yes live, and let me break it to u all her body is just wow, so for everyone whos dissing her calling her fat and trying to hide their insecruites by finding flaws in other peoples as tyra would say kiss my fat ass.

Tyra is awesome and a true role model unlike every one else birtney is emo, angelina is great but a marrige ruiner, jessica alba is so mean to her fans, i mean tyra is a great role model and is true to what she says.

WOW! Tyra Banks. Your are STILL hot! Of course ALL magazine covers are airbrushed but in your case it’s not done as much as everyone is saying on here! YOUR HAIR COLOUR + EYE COLOUR + WHOLE LOOK ON THIS COVER AND IN GENERAL IS JUST TOO HOT! NO1 WILL WORK THE RUNWAY LIKE I’VE SEEN U DO. YOU LOOK HOT ON THE COVER n CAN’T WAIT TO BUY IT!!!!!! PEACE

WOW TYRA what happened to you, you used to be my idol but now your just tyra….. instead of a what 5 year gap between photo shoots its looks like fifteen years later she looks OKAY to say the least but the original picture looks brighter and more of a glossy skin than a newer dull picture….i believe the originaL PIC SHOLD HAVE STAYED THE ORIGNAL!! NO HARD FEELINGS TYRA♥

i realli dont care if ppl think shes fat
either way she is very beautiful black woman
and i realli dont care why would she have 2 prove herslef 2 you ppl
not everyone is skinny and not everyone is fat. tyra 2 me looks very healthy. and people shouldnt be making fun of people that are overweight and stuff beacuzz in a spilt second that could be you.
so you go trya your beautiful inside and out
dont let these roude words hurt you the only reason why people are saying it is becuzs they know it will hurt you and that you were a model
so whatever they say doesnt even matter
like you said they can kiss my fat ass
dont let it break you
tamika

wow you guys are lameee.

tyra banks blows all of you away airbrushed or not! get over it!

when you even get on the cover of a mag. then you can talk yalls talk, but until then…shut your faces! damn.

Well, I don’t think she’s fat on this pic. Not even on the right one, but what it makes it so scary is that her face looks like a vampire, anyway, that’s how it looks in my eyes. The body on the left looks very fake, but I like the hair :P Tyra naturally has a beautifull skint.

I happen to think that she look radiant in both pictures.

As some of us know the body does change after ten years. He chest isn’t going to be high and perky. They are going to head south. That natural. She hasn’t changed that. Which I admire her for. Yeah she gained some weight here and there. Again that natural. Not everyone in the world is going to be skinny for the rest of his or her life.

As far as the color of the picture. Think back ten years ago how were the camera’s back then. Now fast forward ten years. What are the camera’s like today. Right!. The swim suit she has on. As far as we know from what Tyra has said on her show it is the same bikini just with added material.

About he airbrush. Every magazine you look at there person on it is airbrushed. Whether thet are black or white. They are airbrushed.

Put it this no matter how you look at Tyra she is still a beautiful woman.

Not biracial with light browne @ 08/05/2007 at 2:28 pm

#18 & #23
I am black(light-skin)with light-brown eyes. My brother is darker than Tyrese(Singer/Actor)he also have light-brown eyes.

I think Tyra looks great, work or no work done. People complain because they want thicker models, and some people in this blog are judging her looks because she’s thicker. Come on! real woman are curvy and sexy. Because of comments like these, many young girls think they are fat when they are not.

Tyra is not fat in the second picture. How can people say that? Yeah she is bigger, but nowhere close to fat. She looks gorgeous in both pictures, but better in the first. That doesnt look like the same bikin either, but that may be becasue they adjusted it.

Still looking fab Tyra, even 10 years later.

They could have at least given her stomach some shades.. now it looks fake and unnaturally plane and flat.. lika a board… give her at least some muscle dammit if they’re gonna manipulate it so much..

Busy Hands @ 09/23/2007 at 3:02 pm

I enjoy Tyra Banks’ breasts so much!

if you ask me tyra banks is nothing but a advanced ape looking n????? who needs to go back to the chicken and water melone eating ape place called africa but before she do I thnk she deserves a make over with my white goo in her face that’ll wake her n?????? a??? up to reality america belongs to whites only white power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111

oh it definetly lookks airbrushed!!!the first one looks realer than the other.i mean like the belly button in the 2nd one looks dark and its not meant to

All ive gots 2 say iz dat Tyra looks FABULOUS……Tha swim suit iz not even da same….ppl below stop hattin ya wish u guyz can look nearly as gud as her!!!!!!!!!!…..so every 1 get a life iight
DUECEZ!!!!!!

Ok so tyra’s gained a little weight…she still looks amazing!

she’s not a saint! she still may feel a *little* self consience of her body weight.. so what?! pretty much everyone feels a bit self consience of their body weight at some time!!

& who flippin cares if it’s not the same bikini?!

LOL at the people who say only the second one was airbrushed. You must think SI only air brushes some and not others. We are talking about models here, some who have gotten so thin you could see ribs but yes, Tyra’s 2007 remake must be the only one air brushed because it bucks societies ideas of beauty. If you going to take apart the air brushing in one you have to do it for the other, or you can just examine it for what it is, and see she is beautiful in both.

Outside of the hair, Tyra actually looks pretty good in both pics. All pics are airbrushed before publication, no matter who it is…Tyra, Giselle, Cindy, Naomi, Beyonce, Jessica…everyone!! No one can think that there are this many perfect people running around.

As for her eye color…hazel is Tyra’s natural eye color. Both of her parents are African American. If you see childhood pics of her, her hair is a med-dark brown and her eyes are hazel!!

It is very possible for African American’s to have green, grey, hazel, and even blue eyes naturally based upon genetics. My paternal Grandfather is dark complected with blue eyes, my sister is light complected with hazel eyes. My other sister is dark complected with natural sandy brown hair. Again, genetics….obviously, somewhere in the bloodline there is someone with either of these eye colors. F.Y.I. -I think it’s safe to say that there are no 100% African Americans in the US.

I’m not sure how race plays a part in a discussion about a bathing suit!?!

Yeah I think in alot of ways the 1st one looks good because shes more toned, has nicer hair and her skin looks full of colour. But the 2nd one also looks good because her skin seems a little washed out but its still got a warmer and darker tone which looks nice and its consistent. So really they both look gorgeous.

ALL OF YA’LL ARE SOME HATING ASS *******! TYRA IS BEAUTIFUL AND SHE IS WORKING THAT BATHING SUIT. DON’T YA’LL WISH YOU COULD LOOK 1/4 AS GOOD AS HER.

STOP HATING!
