If you've read the related thread in the Lounge upstairs, its quite apparent that Tyra is only doing this to get some salacious sweeps month publicity for her pathetic little program.
From the article:
I wanted to go inside the minds of the men who frequent these clubs. I wanted to see and hear why they went. And the only way to do that was to go undercover and see for myself,” Banks said.
Total horseshit. A great portion of real strippers seem to have no clue as to their customer's motivations for being there. What makes this gal this posing as one is going to get her an inside scoop?
Having Banks strut her stuff incognito as a dancer (named “Chanel”) can only be a ratings plus for the syndicated “The Tyra Banks Show,” exactly the point in a sweeps month used to set local TV ad rates (check local listings for time).
Well....DUH.
But Banks, 32, said she considers her program, which typically draws a heavily young and female audience, a vehicle to educate as well as entertain.
Heavily young audience? Do they mean heavily as in fat? No wonder this show in on the air, its a clandestine plot hatched by the snack food industry.
And as far as educational goes, puh-lease! Any insecure, couch potato fat ass who has nothing better to do than to watch Tyra's show regularly (or one like it) is in serious need of an education.
Sorry, but I think I'll pass.![]()

I'm too lazy to set my vcr and I have to get back to the office, where this site is blocked. Anyone want to send me the show? It will probably just piss me off though, but I'd like to see it.....

Oh I don't know. Avid watcher of America's Next Top Model - and I know, I know, all of you just shut the hell up. And most of the time she's really embarassing, but on occasion she comes out with something cute. My favourite was when she was telling the girls that they should smoke; she brushes over all the health risk and tells them that it will make them ugly and cut their careers in half. She then says that her addiction is fatty food, and people could tell her until the cows came home that is going to cut her career in half, and that ain't going to make her put down her twinkies. Hee.
Okay, now that I have related that I shall go hide my face in shame.

Most of what was said was not earth shattering news for a dancer or a customer with a reality-based thought process. Hardly worth setting the VCR for Kat.
BTW, Tyra wuuuuuuussed out and didn't go on stage, which was being plugged as the finale to the show.she said she felt "icky".....
As I said in the Lounge post on the topic, it's a purely self-aggrandizing move on Banks' part.
This shouldn't surprise anyone, however.

I wonder how "icky" she'd have felt if she had to rub one out for a member of the raincoat brigade.Originally Posted by yoda57us

LOL, does she sound a bit hypocritical to anyone else, she made millions of dollars shaking her ass down some catwalk wearing nothing but victoria secret lingerie with millions of men leering at her and that is perfectly okay but she finds getting on the stage at a strip club to be "icky". Funny stuff.

Tyra Banks is a good woman! I'm a guy and I watch her show occasionaly. I give her credit for trying to be a younger and hipper Oprah; in the sense she's trying to air topics that inspire and uplift and not just titilate. I hope she has alot of success with her show. I'll take what she's offering over Maury and Jerry anyday!




Why would you give someone credit for imitation? Springer titilates, Oprah inspires and uplifts, and Tyra is deffinitely a wanna be love of the two.Originally Posted by Downey_Guy
Tyra = 3/4 Oprah + 1/4 Springer




Shes inspiration to a lot of girls, a supermodel, and a talk show host. We're sitting at our computers.... not much of a stupid bitch. Even though the icky statement wasn't cool,but hey....
Oh come on. Let's think for a moment about the kind of person who is inspired by Tyra Banks. I mean she sits around looking pretty for a living. I don't necessarily think she is a stupid bitch, but I don't know that making a living the way she has is necessarily SO admirable that we plebians can't criticize her.
