Tyra’s Fiercely Real Teen Model Search
“I’ve always felt it was my mission to expand the narrow perceptions of beauty; through America’s Next Top Model, True Beauty and The Tyra Show, I challenge industry and universal standards by featuring and celebrating non-traditional beauty, and stressing that true beauty is both inside and out,” Tyra said when she announced the contest on her show.
“Plus-size tends to have a negative connotation and I want young girls to realize that what’s considered plus-size is the average American woman. That woman is healthy, fit and beautiful. Adolescence is such an impressionable time in a young woman’s life, and I hope this contest helps teen girls discover their own beauty from the inside out.”
Isn’t she awesome?
Check out the video for Tyra’s tips on entering:
