TYRA BANKS “BLACK HISTORY” PHOTO SHOOT

Tuesday, February 20, 2007

Old Cover vs. New Cover (photoshop anyone?)
As we posted last week, Tyra Banks has decided to celebrate Black History by re-doing her famous Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover. For those of you who don’t know, Tyra was the first African-American to grace the cover of the magazine.

If you watch the show, you have probably been hearing about this for weeks, since she is steady talking about herself everyDAMNday. Anyway, here are the some of the photos from the shoot, and let’s just say someone was fucking around in photoshop for that new cover. You ain’t got to lie Tyra, you ain’t got to lie!!

TYRA MISSES MODELING, THIS GIVES HER A CHANCE TO GO BACK AND DO A PHOTO SHOOT. yOU KNOW HOW BASKETBALL PLAYERS RETIRE AND COME BACK, TYRA IS THE SAME WAY, SHE CANT LET GO OF THAT FACT THAT SHE IS NOT A MODEL ANY MORE NOW.

GO EAT SOME PORK CHOPS, SOME HAM HOCKS, SOME CORNBREAD, SOME GREENS, SOME OXTAIL SOUP AND LIVE IT UP YOU SILLY BIMBO

Tyra needs to get over herself and allow this generation of Sports Illustrated models to enjoy “their moment in time”.

She graced the cover of Sports Ilustrated 10 years ago. History cannot be re-written. Tyra should be celebrating her platform in life “today”.

Given all of her success, I truly question her emotional self-esteem. Very sad.

I know this is a little off subject, but does anybody know if Tyra has any control over the editing of ANTM because it seems to me like the black girls are always the ones to come up looking bad and acting psycho, where I know that some of them white girls be throwing fits too. I also think Mrs Jay got issues with black people in general.

There’s not a celebrity out there who hasn’t had their photos touched up, so give the woman a break. I think she looks great!

one thing we must admit, Tyra can model her ass off. She is great at posing. She looks great.

I like the older pics better. I think it’s the wet lace front wigs that she wears these days that’s throwing me off.

I like the photos actually, and I like the messages she gives young girls. She did say that the top of the suit had to be altered on her tyra show website, so I don’t think she is trying to come off like she is exactly the same size.
Anywho, I think she looks pretty and #8, you comment was too funny!LOL.

I love Ty and all, but she looks very uncomfortable in the current pic. No doubt she is beautiful, but she has gained a lot of weight. Her arms are flabby and chunky. I was watching one of her shows and I noticed that. Also, I was watching the show of hers about the media exaggerating her weight gain and had to turn the channel she looked to unreal and scary from her make-up to her hair. It’s just too damn much.

91.

Wednesday, February 21, 2007 /

that girl looks good, 10 years later shoot i don’t look that good 10 years later. i actually viewed the show and Tyra is not that big, she’s a tall girl but she still little, average man like a woman with some meat on their bones and she has just enough, she is not fat, that’s White America calling her fat, she PHAT is what she is…. go TYRA and ignore the hate, they know you look good, Photo Shop…lol… even without she look good…

92.

Problem still isn’t the body, it’s the hair. It’s stringy and Farrah Fawcett-like. I wish she’d fire the retard who keeps letting her step out with them ragamuffin weaves.

Loves me some Tyra.

But they could have given her some oil or lotion in the do over picture. She look dry and ashy then a mug in that pic.

She should have kept the same hair color too. That would have made her look a lil younger.

Annnd finally, the do over IS photoshopped. Look in between the thighs - no homo.

All in all she still looks good, with a couple of tips stated above!

Oh and she could stand up a little better. She looks a bit like she’s slouching in the shoulder area.

Any who - carry on.

Tyra looks nice but She reminds me of that high school chick that kept rolling her eyes at you all year and you never could figure out why until the day she finally says I hate you for stealing my spot in the lunch line in 3rd grade.she is such a grudge holder

“Fucking around with photo shop” is an understatement!

1. Yes, Tyra is beautiful! Thick or slim- the girl is beautiful.

2. She’s full of shit! She cried on national TV because they were calling her fat. If she had the self-esteem she claims to have then she would have ignored it & brushed the haters off!

3.Gotta love the PS! That person deserves an award and he should consider taking on PS responsibilities for other artists (i.e. Star Jones, Lil Kim, Diddy’s grill, etc).
Her thighs look thinner than in the original photos- wtf? At least make it realistic!

97.

Kennedi

Wednesday, February 21, 2007 /

I honestly don’t think Tyra’s that good of a model. It’s like you can tell she’s modeling…like she’s tryin too hard to act like she’s being natural. I don’t know…maybe I can’t really explain it that well. But don’t get me wrong, she is pretty…

98.

Tyra looks gorgerous before and after. It must been hard to be on a diet just to make millions and now she can eat whatever she wants and still look hot! Get it, Tyra, with your bad self! I think they should put her up on the cover with her old self to make it hot!

99.

Tyra, Liar, pants on Fire!!
It’s obvious they did some retouching on those thighs and her tummy. What is she kidding us? Is she trying to show us the only thing that has changed is her hair color? Please, what a fake.

100.

babygrl

Wednesday, February 21, 2007 /

Um, really though. Can she please stop with the damn photoshop!!! If you look at her arms, you can see how much heavier she really is. She needs to stop living in her anorexic past and celebrate who she is as afull figured woman. She’s hiding her body in all the rest of the pics so you won’t see how big she really is, but it’s really obvious. This whole thing is really sad, she needs help.

give the sista a break, cause she still looks good after ten years, and even with all the PS.

I am not feeling the gray hair though, it’s Fu*ked up.

Wednesday, February 21, 2007 /

What in the hell? That hair colour is gross. & it seemed like her modeling edge lowered, compared to the first cover.
& bottom line: those pictures were done by a PHOTOSHOP MANIAC.. That shit looks painted or something.

BRAVO Tyra! She is beautiful! Photoshopped or not, the woman looks good. We got to give her that. Come on BLACK WOMEN … Let’s not put each other down! How many of us have the almost the same figure we had 5 years ago, let alone 10 years ago? Exactly!

107.

Brittany

Wednesday, February 21, 2007 /

I don’t think its photo shopped any more than the original. If you watch the clip of her trying on the original bathing suit(its on youtube), she looked almost the same.

HBIC

Wednesday, February 21, 2007 /

@ 70- are you really that dense? let me guess, you’re a guy right? doesn’t matter if you saw a vid, bey was photoshopped. everyone is photoshopped.

i know for a fact bey has cellulite (a close up pic came out which everyone was talking about where she was getting up from the pool and she had a lot of cellulite) but you’re never gonna see that in a magazine or a vid. i luv the fact that tyra has admitted to having cellulite unlike some ppl who r afraid as hell to say it. if you didn’t know tyra had cellulite and you say the photoshopped pics and watched a vid where they never gave a close up on her ass, you would never know she had cellulite either. bey’s has a nice body but nobody’s body is perfect (naturally at least) so all the more power to tyra. not afraid to tell the world at least some of her flaws

Tyra still looks pretty, but I know they retouch her to make her slimmer. I thought she wasn’t worrying about her weight.

110.

lil'dummy

Wednesday, February 21, 2007 /

I think the cover would have meant more (especially taken into consideration the tabloid photos of her) if the cover wasn’t photo shopped so much. Her thighs are not that small. But do your thing Tyra!

111.

Natural Mystic

Wednesday, February 21, 2007 /

#83– That’s a good question, I’d like to get the answer myself. I noticed Tyra always overly criticizes the black models-(think Danielle’s accent and Toccara’s weight). Miss Jay’s ugly ass singles the black contestants out too– remember him calling Nnena boring all the time? Or making fun of Furonda’s head calling it a light bulb?
That’s one of the reasons I’m not a fan of that dumb show– those “models” don’t strike me as true models.
When I think model, I see Linda Evangelista, Naomi, Karen Alexander, Christy Turlington, Liya Kebede.

BKYW, you are an idiot…. No they cannot photoshop videos but they sure can angle the cameras to put and take pounds on/off a person. I work for a filming company and believe me we make half of the people on screeen look times better than they really do.

In person Beyonce is a beautiful girl but trust me when I say her skin is not as flawless as people see her, her curves are not perfect, she does have cellulite, and her weight is underexagerrated.

When you are getting paid to do a certain job (huge amounts of money to make the person look as close to perfection as possible) you do whatever it takes, even if it means using someone else’s body with someone else’s face.

117.

Yes!!!

She put on some pounds.

HATE TO BUST YALL BUBBLES, BUT ALL MAGAZINE COVERS ARE AIRBRUSHED AND PHOTOSHOPPED….SO GET OVER IT! JUST LOOK AT THE KING MAG WITH ASHANTI ON THE COVER….SHE EVEN SAID THEY GAVE HER BIGGER BOOBS….IT AIN’T THAT SERIOUS AND IT AIN’T LIKE TYRA IS THE SAME SIZE AS MO’NIQUE. SHE AIN’T THAT DAMN BIG PEOPLE.

HBIC, my friends and I have this saying: “Photoshop is NOT a toy!” It’s essential to print media, I guess, but look at the texture of the skin on the old picture, then look at the new one. They had to have put an entire filter on that picture, or a soft focus. And for what?

IS IT JUST ME OR IS TYRA THE MOST ANNOYING TRICK EVER!! WHO CARES? SHE JUST DID THAT SO SHE CAN PROVE TO HERSELF AND THE REST OF THE WORLD THAT SHE STILL HAS IT..PERSONALLY I’M NOT CONVINCED-THROW IN THE TOWEL-THE PAST IS THE PAST-U DID YA THING AND SO DID B-GIVE HER HER PROPS-SHE REVISTS THE PAST ALOT ON HER SHOW-WHETHER IT’S INTERRUPTING HER GUESTS TO TALK ABOUT HERSELF OR DOING SHIT LIKE THIS–SHE SO BORES ME-NO SELF-ESTEEM AT ALL-TAHT’S WHY HER ASS CAN’T KEEP A MAN-SHE MAY BE CAKIN IT BUT-HER SHE IS SO WACK- FUCK A BLACK HISTORY MONTH-BLACK HISTORY IS ABOUT HISTORY-NOT MODELS WHO HAD THEIR LIFE HANDED TO THEM-TYRA GO CUT SOME BANGS

HEY ANGEL LA!!!! THIS MESSAGE IS FOR YOU!!!

Why did you stop the comments for the Beyonce competition winner post?

I think its because you know you chose a WACK winner. (there were waaay better quotes than that!) I also think you couldn’t take the valid criticism you were getting from the comments being left.

But hey I could be wrong, would you care to COMMENT?!

Tyra still looks great. She looks the same but a more mature look. Her body looks better to me more like a hourglass shape than before. Tyra you dont have to prove to anyone in the media you still got it. If it appeases you though do your thang.

I think Tyra is very beautiful but she does have some serious self-esteem and mental issues. Is that why she can’t keep a man because she’s so caught up in how fine she is or because she has someother deep rooted issues!

Tyra still looks good…
As much as she still talks about her camp T-Zone and the positive message she is trying to send, Tyra still has a low self esteem…. which is why she goes thru the great measures she do when the tabloids call her out.
I do like the fact that she redid the cover… but I wouldn’t want to come out on it after Ms.B did her thang…

143.

missmommie

Wednesday, February 21, 2007 /

Did any of yall watch the show. She had to add fabric to the suit to have it fit her after 10 years. See the number of polka dots is very different. Stop hating and love the sister for all of the postive things she is doing. The picture look very different they are actually two different sizes. The real difference could be seen on the show.

144.

@ 130

Why the hell would you name yourself like that, Its really disrespetfull and what actually are you talking about ?

Anyways as for Tyra the first piture is just fierce she had a asum body . But the second picture is way to chubby and chunky for a model ( Not for a real person but 4 a fashion model its just bad )

Note to Tyra try to be a little bit nicer to you guest at you show and stop talking al the time about yourself and your momma.

Step your game way up and who knows mabey youll be the next Ophrah.

I’m allergic to haters and thats exectly what most of ya’ll are. I’m convinced that the same people who do mediatakeout do this site cause ya’ll always got somethin negative to say about somebody.

Tyra is beautiful and i think her body is just right for her height and what celeb do ya’ll know who pictues were not touched up. that picture od her at the beach was photoshopped to the fullest cause her fat ain’t even look right. they made it to dark
