Hey! Hey TyTy Baby...
Happy Birthday Miss Top-Model. :-)
Who would have thought that December 4, 1973, marked the day where one of the world's most successful and iconic Supermodels Du jour , was born?
- A jet-set supermodel who had worked for many of the biggest fashion designers and brands and has been on the cover of hundreds of magazines all over the world from Vogue , Elle, Vanity Fair to Sport's Illustrated, over the last decade, earning millions and critical reception, making her the one and only true rival to Naomi Campbell.
-This mocha-skinned green-eyed Supermodel, is famed for her electrifying eyes, strong features, va-va-voom figure (which helped rewrite fashion history many times over)and glowing personality.
-Tyra became only the 4th model of African decent in history to clinch a multi-million dollar major Cosmetics deal (with Covergirl)in the early 90's.
-She was the first female model on the cover of men's high-fashion and lifestyle magazine, GQ. She's since had more covers than any other black model.
-She was the first , and still remains the only, African-American model who made it onto the cover of Sports Illustrated. She's also the 4th and final model in the 60- year history of the magazine to have consecutive covers.
-She's the first model to appear on the cover of the premiere issue of the Victoria's Secret Cate log magazine. And remains the only African-American model to be on it's cover , solo.
-She'd also held onto an Victoria's Secrets Angel-Contract longer than any model in the brand's history. And was also it's 2nd biggest contracted-model ever.
- She's the mainstay on the critically successful America's Next Top Model and The Tyra Show. Many think, she's the next Oprah, for good reason. Ratings have been through the roof world-wide and ...
-She's only the 4th woman in history, to rank in consecutive years, in Time Magazine's World's Top 50 most Influential People.
-She's the only Supermodel ever to make it onto the cover of People Magazine.
-Together with the likes of Gisele Bundchen and Heidi Klum (incidently all three were the Top 3 Biggest earning models , for the last decade), marked the 'Return of the Curves'. The era of super waif models in the likes of Twiggy and Kate Moss, was considered over.
-In the eyes of many, Tyra, Gisele and Heidi are considered the New Trinity,superceding the original Trinity of Naomi Campbell, Cristy Turlington and Linda Evangelista.
-Bankable indeed, she's been in the Top 3 Biggest Earning Supermodel list for the last 10 years. In 2006, alone, she netted approximately US$30 million.
'SO WHAT' if you're in your thirties? :-) Indeed.
She's an unshakable Model Media Mogul.
