Oh, Tyra! You’re such a scamp! You’re always thinking of new ways to captivate the audience like the time you had your tits ultrasounded to finally answer the age-old question: “Does Tyra Banks have implants?” And I could never forget the time you grabbed Carnie Wilson’s ass on your show. I had to go to a year of EMDR therapy to get over that episode. Thanks. But this, this may be your finest masterpiece yet. I cannot wait until the September 8th season premiere of your show. The day that you have declared “National Real Hair Day”.
That’s right, folks! Tyra’s premiere will consist of her appearing on television not wearing a weave. Apparently, this has never happened before so this is a blockbuster moment. Does anyone else think Tyra Banks might be insane? Look at the pictures from the filming of the premiere before you answer that.
Well, seeing as how almost every female black celebrity wears some form a weave: lacefront wig, regular weave, extensions, braids, I actually think it’s rather funny.
I can’t wait to see this hair of hers she’s always going on about.
Most of the white celebrities wear extensions as well, so race is irrelevant in this case…
Ok, let me explain. In the black community, weaves or any fake hair for that matter are an integral part of the culture. Yes, white female celebrities may also have extensions but believe me when I say it is not as huge of a deal in the white female population/culture, or even a norm.
The black hair business, which includes products like relaxer is a $7 billion a year business, so maybe for a black female this would be interesting or even funny to watch. Because very rarely do you see a Black woman who has not relaxed her hair in the last 3 months or who has braids or weaves.
Why else would HBO fund Chris Rock’s movie “Good Hair” if it wasn’t important or integral to the black community?

is that armpit hair sticking out a little from her shirt? i can’t tell!
I was going to say something about that too, Livia. It is indeed her armpit hair. Maybe it will be an ALL NATURAL ANTM this cycle….lol
I actually really like the idea. I have mixed feelings about Tyra, but she is always trying to get women to love themselves as they are. Maybe when she gets up there sans weave, everyone will take suit. Maybe were looking at au natural coming back. Doubtful, but maybe.
Does this mean she isn’t going to relax it either?
