Tyra Creates Her Very Own Holiday!

Filed under: TV News > Tyra Banks

tyra_ohno.jpg

Tyranasaurus Rex has truly topped herself!

TyTy wants us to celebrate our "natural" hair with National Real Hair Day on September 8th!

Yes, Tyra has created her own holiday.

It was only a matter of time, guys.

National Real Hair Day just happens to coincide with the premiere of The Tyra Banks Show, of course.

Banks will be "debuting" rarely-seen natural hair on the fifth season premiere of the talk show, which will be making the shift from syndication to The CW this fall.

We'll let Tyra take it from here:

"This season on The Tyra Show we're taking it to the next level and getting more real than ever before by encouraging women everywhere to own and rock what they've got and be proud! For the Season 5 premiere, I will be doing just that - no fake hair, I'm rocking my REAL hair. This will all be going down on September 8, 2009, which we're declaring National Real Hair Day! We welcome everyone to go natural with me!"

We're actually speechless.

P.S. What about those of us that don't wanna be in touch with our natural hair???

Perez is starting National Fake Hair Day!!!

  8. 8

  9. 9

    tyra thinks that everyone is stupid and takes heed to her advice…like she is the one to build our confidence. its up to YOU whether or not YOU want to build up YOUR confidence, not some ego-crazed talk show host/ex-victorias secret sports illustrated model….

    have YOUR own MIND!



  10. 10

    I wonder if she will be "rocking" her real hair in ANTM. doubtful.



  11. 11

    she is retarded. Who watches that crap and likes it?



  12. 12

    You are soooooooooooooooooooooooo Unoriginal … Come on Maria can't you just think of something to talk about that would make people really think …."wow this guy is on his game. he really is the queen of all media" instead you talk about this? ur wack and i just cant wait for the world to give you your pink slip on your 15 min of fame!



  13. 13

    Tyra is trash.



  14. 14

    Wow, one day she will be w/o her wig…. So the next day she will have it right bsck in?



  15. 15

    WTF



  16. 16

    Ehh… not much of a holiday for me. My hair's au natural 24/7. I rarely straighten or curl it except for special occasions. I never even use hair spray or anything :P I'm just lucky my hair's thick and not frizzy. Oh yeah, and sorry Tyra, but this is kinda a pointless holiday…



  17. 17

    hahahahahaha there are no words for this hahahaha omg



  18. 18

    Re: BeautifulBrunnette69 – i was wondering the same thing. Doncha love how the other girls are in bras and panties and Tyra in a one piece that goes all the way to her calves and covers her tummy? It was her idea, so why she copping out? lame.



  19. 19

    Aww, perez is balding with fake hair so he cant join..



  20. 20

    wow guess what tyra, i was born with naturally beautiful straight hair! up yours!



  21. 21

    What is with all the fat chicks and ugly underwear.



  22. 22

    I could just imagine the treatment she'll subject all the redheads to, checking to make sure the drapes and carpet match…



  23. 23

    And why the hell does she look like she's in a body cast while everyone else is stripped down to their underwear? Long underwear in the middle of August? Yeah, she's a loony!



  24. 24

    That is NOT a picture of the Perezcious's posse and the Perezcious is NOT in the picture!



  25. 25

    Why??



  26. 26

    Re: skeezer – Totally agree; was thinking the same thing.. Oh well I guess, her holiday, her rules lol.. plus she's hot! lol



  27. 27

    Thank you for sharing this! I needed a good laugh today.

  28. eymey says – reply to this

    Wow, go Tyra! I'm actually surprised as she always has said she hates her hair without any extensions and doesn't want to even leave the house without them.

    BTW, September 8th is my birthday! Awesome! :)



  29. 29

    Aren't there more important things in the world..?



  30. 30

    As I set reading this, I am actually coloring my hair. I definitely DO NOT want to get in touch with my real hair (at least not my real hair color). To funny :-)



  31. 31

    will Nicolas cage be there..?



  32. 32

    Re: alexandriamarie – #2 to make sure the hair down below is real!!!!



  33. 33

    Sheesh, Trya is sorta a big time loser these days. She's got to buy her fame. Big L for LOSER!



  34. 34

    HELL NAWWW! i'm not taking my extensions out for national real hair day. plus that's hypocritical. "encouraging women everywhere to own and rock what they've got be be proud" yet tyra wears a weave every day other then this little national real hair day. WTF, way to rock and be proud of what ya got ty ty.



  35. 35

    Uhh what? Is she so dependant on fake hair that she feels this is necessary?



  36. 36

    Hell no–my natural hair looks like crap. There's a reason I don't leave it natural lol



  37. 37

    I'm with ya on the fake hair day, man… been dying mine for years, and it would bore me to death to stop. lol



  38. 38

    LOL



  39. 39

    Re: alexandriamarie – Haha riight?



  40. 40

    lmao at that ridiculous picture



  41. 41

    Yes…she will rock her "real hair" that will be styled meticulously with hundred dollar products and styled by world renowned stylists. THAT IS DEFINITELY NATURAL.



  42. 42

    I can't stand this woman!!!! She has a modeling show aimed at making women "marketable"!!!!!!!!!! Has she forgotten this fact!!!!! She's a mess!!!! She has helped feed the monster for years and now wants to teach it tricks, like how to sit, "Sit, Monster, Sit!!!" I can't stand her!!! So many women and Black women have worn their hair natural despite the Monster (she helped feed) and now her Monster feeding butt wants to try and take credit for the natural movement… she really needs to stop. I really can't stand her.



  43. 43

    Okay, that brings out the LOLs!!!! Especially when she blatently comes out on her show and says that modeling is all about smoke and mirrors! HAAA! Maybe she should do a show w/out wearing spanks (let's see her ass up close) and no make-up! GET REAL TYRA! EMBRACE YOUR TRUE UNTOUCHED SELF!!!!! ROFLOL!!!!!



  44. 44

    Re: Anniegirl – They got it from your drawer bitch.



  45. 45

    she's obsessed with herself she needs to get her head out of her own ass



  46. 46

    Man, I feel for the girls who have constantly kinky, frizzy or unruly hair. It's alot of work to tame it.



  47. 47

    I'm tired of empty generation-X - types.



  48. 48

    I don't think people are gonna watch her show now, knowing that there will soon be fat chicks stripping. Or don't they already do that all the time?



  49. 49

    Natural real blonde, always! :-) And how many of us are left in the world? :-(



  50. 50

    LOL I've not had my natural hair color in ummmmm lets see i'm 37 now, started dying at 14 so 23 yrs WOWSER………..no thanks drab always looking dirty brown can stay in the past yo



  51. 51

    wonder if she'll be taking her weave off?! no way i'm keeping mine on! i'll die with my beautiful weave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



  52. 52

    tyra is so funny



  53. 53

    Let's see how real she gets this season during her show. She has more weaves and more wigs than Sheri Shepperd of The View!!!



  54. 54

    I LOVE PEREZ! but I just noticed something… one post you're TRASHING tyra, the next (this one) you're on her side. does that have anything to do with the fact that maybe you got a spot on her show for today to be aired sept 8th?? hmmmm?? lucyyy! you got some EXPLAININ' TO DO!!



  55. 55

    They (cept Ms. T herself, did she become mormon?) are all down to underwear to celebrate the freeness of being yourself sans makeup/clothes ie: natural. For whatever reason the whole thing bugs me bad. For one day lets be our not good enough shitty selves?



  56. 56

    IS she gonna grow an afro ?



  57. 57

    I'm all for the Perez and the fake hair day…. 0_o



  58. 58

    I could just be grasping at straws here, but why is everyone one behind Tyra either with, or very, very light skinned? Go BLACK power!!!



  59. 59

    One trick pony,tired old Tyra the Tyrant !



  60. 60

    ick…u have to take off ur clothes too??

  61. Anne says – reply to this


    61

    Since when wearing your natural hair as it is became so special? isn´t it normal to wear YOUR NATUAL HAIR? African AMerican women are having big self esteem issues by not accepting what they have and how they are. They spend thousands of dollars (which they usually should use for something else) on wigs and chemical products to sport "caucasian looking" threads….sick, and this happens because people who are supposed to be rolemodels like Mrs. Banks appear on tv with her blond FAKE hairs….wrong example honey….you can´t deal with it by sporting your REAL hair only ONE DAY OF THE YEAR.



  62. 62

    How ’bout National Real Boobs Day???
