TYRA BANKS “BLACK HISTORY” PHOTO SHOOT
Tuesday, February 20, 2007

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 looks great! Go ahead girl! Yeah she was photoshopped but she still has that “something” about her whenever she models. Homegirl could work a runway!

Everybody’s pictures are photoshopped. That’s expected. Nothing new. Tyra’s face looks so much different though

Miss Tee, we all agree that pics are Photoshopped; what we’re laughing about is the hideous hack job that SI did. I wear a size 3 (at 5′9″, no less) and my thighs touch. That pic has been shaved down to about 140, AT BEST.

These pictures are not comparable…the second picture is not as up close as the original one and she isn’t slicked up in oil so you can’t see the definition. She does look photoshopped…sorry

Iam sure Tyra is helping the self-esteem of the full-figured young women, that She claims to care about so much,… by posing in a airbushed pic again. She talks about loving herself, loving her curves, yet she gets crazy if someone calls her fat, then she goes overboard trying to prove she is still in good shape. This chick is going to have a breakdown if she doesn’t stop trying to prove things so much. Queen Latifah makeup ads, are opening doors for full-figured women.

Man I’m lovin how one of y’all said time would be the true litmus test. Boi Tyra is Tyra. She does whut she has to survive. She did look hella bad in the SI cover 10 years ago. I never knew she looked that good. Wow! The new shoots well they look cool. I just feel to pull out that lace front weave right out personally.

Moon Luv and Whats luv I couldn’t agree more. I noticed that nose job years ago on E! THS. Kimora Lee also when they show the old footage of fashion shows. but since tyra is always talking about how natural she is I had my doubts but this before and after pic definitely confirms it ! Great observation!

I think she looks better in the first shoot, the ugly wig throws the second one wayy off. She needs to burn that mess, makes her look like someone’s grandmother or something. For whoever said people don’t talk negative about Beyonce as they do Tyra that is a big ass lie. I’m not a Beyonce fan but Beyonce’s post is full of hate, she has way more than Tyra. The reason people are talking about Tyra isn’t because they’re hating on her but because Tyra’s so self-obsorbed and annoying. We get her big thing in SI but for her to call it “black history” is BS. Also she says she loves her weight and blah blah blah but then she photoshops the second suit like there’s no tomorrow. If she really loved her weight and wasn’t self conscious she would have bared all and showed herself in her true form. Yes all artist photoshop but they didn’t go on shows crying saying how they loved their weight when the paparazzi caught pics of them like she did. But yeah like I said I like the first photoshoot better, she does look pretty in the second one though…minus the wretched wig.

NORMALLY, I’m the first to yell crazy photoshop BUT this is REALLY not all that bad. If you actually watch the video/the show, you SAW her stummy is STILL pretty flat
She still looks good

the first bathing suit is red and pink, the second is red and white. did any1 else notice? think thats a little weird. the suit has definately been altered. but she admitted that
she looks great in both, id kill for that body. but the first pic is much better, she was sooo stunning back then. she should have got a darker weave, why get a grey weave wen ur in ur 30s? duh

So what if they touched up the pics, why don’t some of u haters stop fuggin hating, Tyra looks gorgeous. Half of u up here hating probaly fat any dayum way, u can hardly even find any slim or small portion black females these days. How many peeps do u find the same size and weight 10 years lata? how many? Why is the black race so jealous of each other? neva eva changes, dayum white man have done an excellent job on our race.

I have to agree with all the people who say those first photos look better. She is doing the fierce thang to death and it didn’t work out at all. Yes, they airbrushed her to death. she till TYRA though

@ 68….that statment was so wrong alhtough beyonce is the most talked about on this site she get equal if not more hate. she is hated so much on this site by these BLACK WOMEN…so don’t come on here with that bull….
Tyra looked better younger but she still had some nice pics like with the wet white shirt…

Ok the cover is just wrong, she needed more water on her body and how airbrushed and fake looking does her stomach look, too much eye makeup and her face just looks sickly. The other pics are okay but still her face looks sickly, the cover just sits so off with me.

Truthie- umm i don’t think its photoshopped. she tried it on (the bikini) in a live video which is also on this site and she looked the same size as in these photos. So pretty much its not photoshopped. If it is they hardly had anything to change. Shes a beautiful woman just like she was then. Go Tyra!

Oh, give it a bloody rest, 187. This pics aren’t just Photoshopped - they’re hacked to all hell w/a machete and smoothed over with Spackle. Even the SHOULDERS have been shaved. We’re ragging on the SHITTY PS JOB DONE BY THE GOOD PEOPLE AT SI, not Tyra and not the entire effin’ black race. Geez!

LOL @ What a lunatic.. I used to love me some Tyra, but now she just really annoys me because she talks about herself in the name of advocating “real women”… heffa please.
And Tyra… you can’t say you “so real, so real” and then photoshop your pictures! I know all photos are photoshopped but this photo looks like something for a Sims videogame. Was she even present @ the shoot? This is terrible!
Tyra is GORGEOUS, and always will be. But I’m sorry… she looked better 10 years ago. And don’t say… well, she’s older now. Because somehow, Halle Berry, Vanessa Williams, Angela Bassett… ect, ect… have still managed to maintain.

And becasue I know someone will say it… I might as well be the one… She looked better than Beyonce 10yrs. ago… but BE killed her photoshoot now.
AND… Tyra does look nice in the rest of the photos.

yall acting as if she’s the only person who gets photoshopped. All covers go through that procress. Gosh, yall are becoming like media take out. Say what you want about Tyra Banks but she’s making money. Both of her shows have great ratings.

I agree she looked 10 years ago. n the show she was freaking out because she had to put on supposibly the same swimsuit as she had on 10 years go…But u can clearly see that they are two different swimsuits and i’m not just talking about the color.

I just need to get this off my chest.
#1 ALL model shots today use photshop. Its the standard, so shut up about that shit.
#2 Actually Tyra lost 20 pounds for the photos so you cant say photshop did it all, remember she was a model so she knows how to drop pounds on the drop of a dime
#3 Should it really matter if she’s fat or not? Shouldn’t we give her credit to standing up against tabloids for representing female america?
#4 You have to admit even though she talks about herself alot, she is still in your mouth after all these years.
#5 hate her or love her you have to give her credit for black model to have almost as much power as Oprah ( almost. maybe in like 10 years a little closer)
