Smiling 101 With Tyrannosaurus Banks
Filed under: Tyra Banks
Tyra Banks was the most recent guest to visit The New York Times' TimesTalks series and Banks transformed from interviewee into Professor TyTy in a matter of moments!
After last year's infamous NYT video featuring Banks showing off just a few grins from her collection of 275 smiles went viral, the Tyrannosaurus couldn't resist giving a few gals in the audience a smiling lesson!!
OMG!
Tyra's crazy is like crack to us!!
Want to learn how to smile like the self-proclaimed smile pro?
Here's a start!
The Flirting-With-a-Man Smile: “Turn your shoulder to your man, move your face down, and use a sound effect, a little hmmmmmmmmm."
The Surprise Smile: "We’re not smiling like the surprise is real — it’s not ‘OMG, are you serious?'" It’s a hand to the cheek, and a gasp. Remember, the surprise isn’t like, swine flu or an unexpected breakup; it’s more of a "I forgot my contacts at home!"
The Catalogue Smile: "Put the left foot forward, and turn your head ahead as if there’s wind whipping you that way, and smile with your hand on your head and parted teeth. So walk forward with your hand on your right cheek, and step with your left foot, so your booty sticks out."
The Angry Smile: Save this one for "bitches." You move a hand to your hip, look forward, "dip that booty to the right," and let your face say "Okay, okay, okay, uh-huh."
The Smile With the Eyes ©: “This is crucial… It’s on magazine covers, it sells perfume, it sells shoes." Tyra recommends pulling your shoulders down, facing forward, pretending there’s a string pulling your head up and that a dentist shot you in the mouth with Novocain. She said it’s “almost like you’re in Star Trek."
We're at a loss for words.
Seriously!

She looks creepy
Whats wrong with her hair? And her last smile shown- smile with out the eyes- is the same smile my daughter gives when she shats herself. Awesome, Tyra. No really, thats awesome.
One more thing…..her surprise smile is more like she had an unexpected break up with swine flu. Maybe she didn't see it coming since she left her contacts at home. Totally lame, Tyra.
OMG! She's so scary looking!!

Re: raymFF – p.s. raymFF if you need to explain a joke to your audience chances r it's not funny.
this SERIOUSLY made my day
A few of them look a little exagerated, but whatev i still like tyra.
You're "at a loss for words", yet you managed to contribute your 2 cents. How the fuck does that make any sense?
Is that plastic? Looks like an illustration. Weird.
And every photo looks like some crazy beotch with too much make-up!
oh just STFU tyra
Lol, crazy. I can just picture her standing in front of a mirror for hours practicing all of her smiles.
Who Cares?!
I Like Tyra
But This Is Crazy!
Re: BossBrit – LOL!
wow, chicken legs, tranny, UGLY Tyra has 275 ways to smile…. how about some real gossip!!!!!!!!!!! can't stand this chick so ugly
If I look at those stupid "smiles" without reading the meaning, I would have no clue as to what they are supposed to mean. Give it a rest Tyra. Oh and by the way, your hair is horrible!
She's a genius.
I LOVE HER!!!
OMG she needs to do something about that forehead. An airplane might land on it.
This is actually normal - all models are told to practice these.
Tyra is great at what she does. She was a model, she can talk about faces and poses all she wants. She rocks!
Tyra always shows Narcissism at its best. She loves herself more and more each day.
HEY PEREZ, WHY DONT YOU TAKE YOUR OWN PICS WITH HER ADVICE.
ha ha ha
MAYBE YOU DONT CARE PEREZ! BUT SOME PEOPLE DO. SHE ACTUALLY KNOWS WHAT THE HELL SHE IS TALKING ABOUT. SHES WAS A FUCKING SUPERMODEL. I MODEL SOMETIMES AND HER ADVICE IS FUCKING GREAT, SHE SAYS IT PERFECTLY. AND SHES DOING IT TO SHARE SOME OF HER FUCKING KNOWLEDGE WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE ASPIRING FOR THE SAME THING. ITS ACTUALLY A KIND THING TO DO, SHE COULD KEEP EVERYTHING SHE KNOWS TO HERSELF. YOUVE BEEN MAKING ME MAD LATELY, AND YOU DIDNT BEFORE. leave people with good hearts alone. seriously. what did tyra ever do? she tries to be so positive and help people out. stop being a douche.
I luv tyra she is sooo funny, plus she gots some damn confidence to do all the crazy bitch ass pics!!!

Re: Grumpy –
I am so excited to practice every smile religiously
I don't see why you HATE Tyra soooo much!! She's a former Supermodel, so what's wrong with her showing aspiring models how to smile for pics and be successful, too?!? I DON'T GET IT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Re: CraziHo – RE: #23— AND YOU PROBABLY DON'T LOOK AS GOOD AS SHE DOES, EITHER!
omg did she copyright the smile with the eyes??? hilarious!!
is it just me or does she look like rupaul in these pics (sorry rupaul)
