I have it on TV right now cuz there's nothing else in the room. Currently she's screaming because she's scared to use a nail gun. A hammer OMG NO!
Anyway...this show is "every thing a girl needs to know" and I took this off the website:
"Want to learn a few tips and tricks to make life easier? With help from top experts, including nutritionist Jorge Cruise and carpenter Carter Oosterhouse from "Trading Spaces," Tyra shares tips to make life easier for the busy woman. Tyra teaches you everything you need to know to improve your life including how to find the perfect sunglasses for your face, how to walk in heels on challenging surfaces, the importance of good nutrition, finding a purse to make you look slimmer, how to install decorative hardwood molding to improve a house's value and changing your car's oil."
Why??? The sunglasses-purse-shoes thing is just really upsetting me. Good nutrition and it's importance? Doesn't that go without saying?
Ok I have actual proof that Tyra and her producers are unscrupulous scoundrels.
I'm a member of a plastic surgery community (http://www.plasticsurgeryjourneys.com) and one of the women (we'll call her X) on there got offered to appear on the Tyra show because her co-worker wrote into the show. The topic was about women having plastic surgery. The community mod found an ad on CraigsList written by the Tyra Show looking for women who are opting to have their PS done out of the United States. The mod commented that the ad sounded suspicious, more like an intervention than just a show interview, and unfortunately, the mod was right.

I like long fiery comments, and this is very personal for both you and me, so I can understand even more.
That reminds me. As if she was oh so "large" in the first place, Toccara recently lost a lot of weight and surprise! now she has tons of model work lined up. What the hell happened to her "big is beatiful- be youself, girl" attitude??
You are a prime example that "plus size" (which is actually average size in human terms, not "mannequin hollywood" standards) really is beautiful. I wish you could go on Tyra just to punch her in the stomach lol.
I understand how the media and just our own personal, psychological makeups can make us feel inadequate about our looks. Even though I'm not plus sized, I feel awful about my appearance but I try my hardest to remember that looks is a small fraction of who we really are and who we can be.
And just for the record, I think you're really pretty!! ^_^ And more importantly, you express yourself eloquently
But I'm a size 18 and I don't have the miracle purse and men express interest in me. Not bottom of the barrel men, men who are nice with good jobs that I might go with if I wasn't already married. I had a job where it was considered dangerous to wear rings, because I was a mechanic. So the men there would would not be able to do the wedding band check. Men with enough manners to apologize when I tell them I am married. How can this happen?
I never wear heels, and I know plenty about my car. My dad made sure I knew how to change a tire before he let me drive by myself. How did I ever get married?
