Tyra Banks in Modelland

Not content with giving the world a new word – smizing – Tyra is further flexing her creative muscles in the form of her new book: Modelland.

According to the press release:

‘Tyra’s MODELLAND is the story of a teen girl in a make-believe society who finds herself competing for a way of life that's both hotly desired and woefully out of reach at an academy for Intoxibellas, the most exceptional models known to humankind. As the plot unfolds, readers will uncover lessons that are buried beneath the surface of this magical world.’

Amazing! Characters in the tome include Tookie De La Crème, Myrracle and Theophilus Lovelaces. Are they men? Women? Transvestives?! And how on earth did she manage to write 576 pages? Click here to read a sample chapter.

She was on the publicity trail last month sporting this spectacular outfit. We admire her courage.

She wore this on a working train. The people at the front are commuters!

Modelland is released next month and, like everything Tyra does, is bound to a huge success. Pre-order your copy now!
