TYRA COVERS SHAPE MAGAZINE
Wednesday, May 2, 2007
Tyra is on the cover of June 2007’s Shape magazine. Inside she addresses the public scrutiny she dealt with concerning her body and how she is coping these days.
Ok girl, we get it…you like your body, so enough preaching. That’s a cute bathing suit though.

I wonder if she squeezed the trainer’s tatas before the session started. That wig is a mess, but the cover looks nice.
She’s been on a mission ever since she got caught lookin bloated on the beach. She can keep her “#1 body confidence rule”, cause she IMO lacks self confidence.

Does she really like her body? She said so wasn’t worried about what other people thought and told them on national tv to kiss her fat ass, now she’s back talking about the same issue. I really wonder cause I remember she said on her show she wants to be a 36-24-36. hmmmm

DIAMONDPRINCESS .I so agree with you.SAe always talks about how much she loves her body and doesn’t care what people think but yet she talks about so much as if she is trying to get people to like her body.

I LOVE SHAPE MAG AND TYRA LOOKS GREAT. PEOPLE! TYRA DOESNT GO OUT JUST FISHING FOR PUBLICITY. PUBLICATIONS COME UP WITH THE CONCEPTS. SOMEONE AT THE PUBLICATION MOST LIKELY THOUGHT ABOUT TYRA BECAUSE OF ALLL THE RUCKUS OVER HER BODY.
PEOPLE ASSUME DUMB SHIT AND ACT LIKE IF THAT WAS THEM THEY WOULDNT DO IT. IF YOU WERE TYRA YOU WOULD BE ON THE COVER TOO. IF SOMEONE TRIED TO MANIPULATE YOUR TRUTH YOU WOULD DEFEND YOURSELF RIGHT?
THE GIRL IS NO JOKE, SHE HAS CREATED AN EMPIRE AND WHY BE MAD AT A SISTER TRYING TO FOLLOW IN OPRAHS SHOES

That damn comment “America’s Next Top Waddle” hurt her to her damn soul, didn’t it?!
Tyra it’s okay boo, we know you ain’t fat.
But I feel her. I’ve dealt with weight issues myself. I was crying and writing Oprah and shit, asking for help - no lie!

ok im never usually the one to hate but im going to do it now.
she is looking kind a HOT MESS on this cover. Her wig is atrocious and the wig she rocks on the TB show is an even hotter mess than this one. it makes her look cheap. and even though we know she is, (self proclaimed) i would think she would pick up some better hair than going to sally’s for a wig.
and what yall dont see it the profile pic, and had there been a profile of that pic you would see that her stomach isnt flat at all. even though they tried to photoshop the shadow of her stomach out, you can tell.
so while the bathing suit is cute, the cover is wack as all sin and she neednt be on no cover of SHAPe

Tyra looks great but she’s also insecure and full of shit. First, when she was caught looking all swole, she said she doesn’t care what people think of her as long as she’s comfortable with herself. Now, she’s doing everything in her power to make sure she’s seen in a bikini AFTER she lost the weight. How is she gonna give someone advice on confidence when she’s not confident her damn self?

I have so much respect for Tyra as a former model, but she gets on my nerves at times! Okay Tyra, we know you’ve gained 20-30 pounds, get over it. The cover is nothing special at all. Tyra’s face looks so old in this shot. I think she needs to go back to that nice auburn/red color she was rocking in ANTM for the past 3 years.

her age is starting to creep up on her. she used to look younger, and the wig makes her look like rihanna. I’d rather that she just had retired after her career, remember when she was just a model? I know they say beauty isnt everything, but I’d rather see her just take pictures and look fine and shut the hell up! Men like you if you are a little quite Tyra! And we like em thick, why is she complaining again?

@ #26..yeah I’m still enjoying my “terrible 2’s” lol. But I must say…I didn’t have bills to pay when I was 20. I was still using the poor college student line. Can’t do that now or I’ll be bare foot and homeless. Yikes! lol

Thank you rose and tyra is pushing the issue too damn far, people will always say something about a celebrity especially if you doing something right. So why stoop down to their level to try to prove them wrong? No matter what you say they think their opinion stands. If they accuse oprah of being a lesbian yet she’s the one making top dollar then what’s the big deal of being accused of having a little FAT? Damn the whole world especially blacks is not in love with skinny people anyway. There are alot more important things to worry about it sounds like some of ya’ll have weight issues. Work on it then or leave it alone. So I guess tyra going to continue crying out to the whole wide world LOOK EVERYBODY I LOVE MY BODY CAN YA’LL PLEASE LOVE IT TOO, PLEASE.

WOW @ Tyra body.Go ahead Tyra!But sometimes I do think she being a little phony, but this whole industry is phony so I won’t pen the pad.Wearing a weave is ok, African American people love to pen down how much weave a person wears but who cares, its what they want to do let them you not living their lives so why care?You be surprised how many white women wear wigs and weaves,gives you something to talk about..

I THINK PEOPLE NEED TO REALISE THAT BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN TOLD SO LONG THAT SMALLER WOMEN WERE THE “NORM” AND A MORE “POSITIVE” IMAGE TO SELL MAGAZINES AND TOTALLY IGNORED THE FACT THAT MANY AMERICAN WOMEN ARE NOT SIZE 4 OR SMALLER, IT IS GREAT THAT TYRA IS TRYING SO HARD TO BREAK THAT MESSAGE.
REMEMBER THE SAME MAGAZINES AND MEDIA THAT IS PUTTING HER OUT AND GIVING HER A FORMAT ARE THE SAME MEDIA OUTLETS THAT A FEW YEARS AGO ADVOCATED THE “WAIF” AND SMALLER IMAGES BEING PRESENTED IN THE MEDIA TO THE PUBLIC.
SO KUDOS TO A WOMAN WHO STANDS UP FOR HER BELIEFS AND SHAME ON YOU WHO WANT TO CONTINUE TO MAKE DISPARAGING REMARKS ABOUT A PHENOMENAL WOMAN.

GO TYRA
THANKS FOR STOMPING DOWN THE IDEA WE ALL HAVE TO BE STICK THIN.
OF COURSE THEY PHOTOSHOPPED. EVERY MAG COVER YOU SEE DAMN NEAR IS. BUT WHY KNOCK A SISTER TRYING TO MAKE A POINT THAT SHE IS OK WITH HER BODY.
MOST OF THE POSTS ARE SO NEGATIVE TALKING ABOUT A WIG..AND TOTALLY DISMISSING THE FACT SHE IS TRYING TO ELIMINATE BODY stereotypes
PLUS THE MAGAZINE MOST LIKELY CAME TO HER. SHE IS HOT AND HAS A GREAT INFLUENCE AND APPEAL ON YOUNG WOMEN. THEY ARE TRYING TO SELL A MAGAZINE
CONGRATULATE NOT HATE :> )

And why are we bringing up the weight issue again? Wasn’t that a month or so ago?
I do like Tyra but she contradicts herself. Like everyone else has said, she is proud to have gained the weight yet when she takes pictures they are photoshopped. I don’t think the weight she has put on looks bad but she makes herself look bad by doing all of this to try to prove a point. How are you going to be trying to empower over weight women through her show yet when she takes a picture she is trying to slim down how she really looks??? I would respect her alot more if she didn’t do that. And i agree, she is very insecure.

I think tyra looks MORE attractive with the added weight, shes tall, got the large uhums, curves in the right spots. I dont see what the deal is, she is MORE attractive than she was 10 yrs ago

Message to Tyra: Shut your insecure ass up!! You “claim” to love your body?…SO WHAT! Tired of hearing about the sh*t! This chick is so damn annoying, it’s no reason she can’t keep a man!
And the pic is photoshopped for dear life! Tyra is definately bigger than the way she appears in this photo!!! Ain’t fooling nobody…. If you’re that “happy with yourself”, stop it with the photoshop alterations!

Tyra and her sister Rihanna could get it. Don’t worry Tyra I like a girl to have some meat on them. If two fat people can’t be together, then two skinny can either but don’t get too big because I’m not covered by insurance but assurance lol

What blonde? Her hair looks brown to me. I like it. And like #25 said, Shape magazine wanted her, not the other way around. She’s not bragging, it’s the media that’s blowing up the weight gain situation. The media is just trying to make money off of her “confidence tips.” Geez, it’s not that hard to understand!

Man,I rushed in here thinking there was more pictures from the photoshoot but Tyra’s looking delicious like a hot plate of BBQ chicken,greens,cornbread and some mac n cheese.
I’m just not sure if she has booty or not,
I don’t give a fuck how fly a girl looks,if she’s got no ass then she’s not complete.
With that being said,does Tyra got booty?
God bless women!
(Only the sexy ones)

Tyra looks really good on the cover of this magazine. I agree with some of you who believe shes upset with the fact the media called her fat. Know has mentioned her weight in a min. and she’s still talking about it. Babygirl,give it a rest. I rarely watch her talk show, but the last 3 I did view, she was discussing her weight. You look good,making a lot of money, and your in the public eye, of course there is going to be haters

I LUV’S ME SOME TYRA,but if she really was SERIOUS about SELF ESTEEM and BEING YOURSELF she would get RID OF HER WIGS and LACE-FRONTS and let her BEAUTITIAN bring out her ALL NATURAL BEAUTY and encourage women everywhere to WEAVE THE WEAVES ALONE.
they only look good for a couple of days ANYWAY……
then they just look VELCROED ON.
