Tyra Fakes, her 50lb wig and her photoshopped waist cover this Sunday’s issue of The New York Times Magazine.
The mag followed her through her responsibilities behind her shows, including “America’s Next Top Model,” “The Tyra Banks Show.” Banks talks about her early modeling days, relating how her agency made a list titled, ”designers who will not book Tyra because of hips and breasts.” But now Banks appears more concerned with her role as a brand: “Like her hero, Martha Stewart, Banks wants, most of all, for her name to immediately suggest a distinct point of view. “Her brand, like her trademark ‘tough but still smiling’ smile, is consistent in all her shows: serious about the frivolous; empathetic and empowering, and always, always aimed at young women, across all races. It’s girly TV with a punch.”
